CHICKENS NEED
HEAT AND LIGHT

Fowls that are wintered in cold
parts Of the country, where the tenn
perature runs below freezing to 20 de-
grees or more below zero. need consid-
cradle protection. When the cold Is
so intense that the fowl is uncomfOrt-
able. certain part of the heat and
energy from the food eaten is used to
combat this low temperature and the
food which Ia required for that pur-
pose cannot. Of course, be used to
manufacture eggs. Therefore. the
construction Of the house varies with
the temperature or part Of country in
which II Is to be used. A thin and
partly open house Is best for warmer
climates, but must have reasonably
thick walls and be capable of being
closed quite tightly on severe nights
In cold sections. 1t is comparatively
cheap to make house warm by using
several thicknesses Of inexpensive tar
paper. and II a better looking struc-
ture Is wanted. other methods can be
employed. In any event. the house
must be made comfortable.
A dark poultry house Is unhealthful
and uncomfortable. There should be
plenty Of windows to let in light so
that the house Is bright and they
should be kept clean SO that the sun
can shine in to warm and brighten
the interior. The direct rays of the
sun will kill every germ Of disease
that 1t touches and that In itself is I'M
portant. Too much glass Is disad-
vantage. because the house warns up
too much in the daytime when the
fowls are busy and cools down too
rapidly at night when they are on the
roosts. Windows should have both
upper and lower sash 80 that they can
be lowered and raised to let In little
or much air according to the outside
temperature. II there Is too much
window space reduce it.; If there is
too little increase 1t.

mated the classic story about the red

being lost, replied Indignantly:
Injun no lost; wigwam lost; Injun

There Is difference between being
lost and being astray. For example.
you may suddenly realize that you are
travelling northwest instead of north,
which you had supposed and desired to
be your course; and that discovery
may cause not little confusion in your
mind. As long as that confusion lasts,
you are astray; actually you are no
longer really astray as soon as you
realize your error. and begin to travel
north.
Again. If you confidently expect to
see certain landmark-say q big

or road from which you believe II to
be visible. and 1t isn't there. you are
certainly astray. and perhaps lost, AZ

cOTOeu rs memorable Ody lI
the history Of the United States
the day when national prohi
bition took effect. In Pine coun
ty however. the day has passed
much like any other day and not
many, we believe, thought of il
as an important day in the hi,
story Of the nation. Drought
came to this county about four
years ago when the saloons were
voted out under the County Op.
ton Act, and in the immediate
community of Askov we have
never had a saloon, being just
that much more progressive
than the wet places or in other
words ahead Of the times.
To great many people Jan.
16th--the passing of the saloon
age meant much. Yes. it meant
very much. Many a young man
has been ruined in the saloon. or
at least it was the beginning of
his downward path and many a
married man has whiled away
his evenings at the saloon when
he should have spent those pre-
cious hours at the Preside with
his wife and children. And
again those at the Preside have
often suffered hardships and
privations while the head Of the
household was having a good
time" There are many argu-
ments against the saloon but not
many for it. at any rate we have
not heard any good arguments
for it and through observations
have never been able to ascer-
tain any of it's good qualities.
We are of the opinion that it
is not so much the i'll effects of
intoxicating drinks which has
caused the great public senti-
ment against the liquor traffic
asst is the manner in which the
saloons were conducted. Had
they all been conducted orderly
and clean like some Of them
were and not made into gamb-
ling dcns and a place where a
person could be relieved Of his
pay check they would most like
~ still be doing business. There
was certainly a big percentage
of the populace which used
liquor and who knew how to use
it right. When some Of those
who enjoyed it and looked upon
1t as a part OF their menu COM
planned of the infringement on
personal liberty when saloons
were voted out we could see
some ground for it. but when q
big burly saloonkeeper who
waxed fat on the profits Of the
poor suckers who threw one dol
lar after another over the bar so
that they might be called good
and true sports and given q
friendly" slap on the back now
and then by the said saloon
kceper~-when such complained
Of personal liberty rights it was
enough to make person turn
in disgust. And we have never
heard a saloonkeeper talk on
that subject but what he spoke
of the infringement on personal
liberty. Personal liberty-rats!
With diamonds on the fingers and
other fancy things that money
could buy. The trouble with
those fellows is that they now
have to work if they want to
wear diamonds. Yes. they will
always have the liberty to work
BY removing the saloon it is
not said that all places of temp

not by far---nor will they ever

| rotary Schmahl is the third to be
officially entered in the Republi-
can gubernatorial lists and if
country newspaper notices and
comment counts for anything
the Redwood county boy is going
to worry his rivals some.
Schmahl's entry into the game
was via letter addressed to the
Gov. Schmahl Booster Club. Red
wood Falls, his home town, an
swering it's request that he file
for the Republican nomination
for governor. In complying he
said that he had no specific pro-
misses to make at this time, but
that as the campaign pro-
crossed he would discuss the is
sues of the day in public address
ses. He wanted it understood
that he would file as a Republi-
can without prefix or suffix and
that he would continue to be a
Republican no matter the out
come. julius is unreservedly for
an elimination convention to be
called by the party whose recog-
milton he seeks and will abide by
it's findings, but if such is not held
he is going through to the finish.
Of those who have filed to date
julius is without question the
best bet and in field Of equals
his rivals will have hard time
distancing him. He has the con-
fdence of those who play the
game and in politics such is a big
asset. According to his own
statement Schmahl has given
over nineteen years to the SER
vice of the state, six as chief
clerk of the House and thirteen
in his present official capacity.
As secretary Of state he has been
a consistent vote getter until of
late years his dethronement has
come to be regarded as among
the impossibilities. He has in
variably led his ticket. His
Americanism is unquestioned.
However. it is long way to the
finish and julius is not governor
yet. but if he does not land it
will not be his fault.
The most cussed man in the
Republican gubernatorial game
Just now is Tom Frankson. He
is absolutely impossible as far as
the politicians are concerned and
they insist that he has no chance
a-tall. His declared intention of
taking his ambition direct to the
voters they regard as plain sui
eide. I'll comment. however, does
not seem to worry the Minneso-
ia oil king. The people, Tom in
sists. will do the eliminating and
he proffesses to believe that it
will be to his profit.
Wednesday 1t. Gov. Frankson
took his pen in hand and made
a declaration Of principles. He
says he is for: My country and its
constitution. law and order. n

CANDY INSTEAD OF LIQUOR

Heavy consumption of candy has
followed prohibition in Alaska.
Recently the Alaska Engineering
Commission, which has charge
of the construction of the gov
ernment railroad in the north,
advertised for bids for 1000
pounds of chocolates and cara
mels and hundreds of boxes of
bar candy and chewing gum.
The candy and gum will be taken
north for the men working on
the line.
And yet candy is classed as a
luxury and taxed special excise
taxes above all other taxes paid.
No better illustration is needed
to show the shortcomings and in
equality of legislation passed
under the stress of war condi.
tions. The crisis is now passed
and our taxation system should
be revised SO as to equalize and
tighten the tax burden on in
dustry and thereby encourage in
dustrial expansion instead Of dis
couraging it.

quires that peace treaties shall
be negotiated by the President

Because the peace of Versailles
was negotiated by a democrat,
the republican majority in the
Senate defeated its ratification.
Republican leaders know that the
peace resolution they now plan to
put through Congress by road
roller" methods is a travesty, a
sham by which they hope to hide
their responsibility for defeating
a constitutional peace, and fool
the public into believing that the

try technically in a state of war.

for a lasting peace. In must be

Senator that he was so devotedly
aided in his work by another dis
tinguished Senator, Mr.. New

stands convicted of criminal con-
spiracy, with prison sentence

it was the vote of a Senator so
branded which enabled him to

REDUCING THE DEBT

During March the Treasury
Department accomplished a re-

of a billion dollars in the national
debt. During six months ending
with March, the Nations indebt-

billion and a half dollars. enough
to effect saving on interest to

approximately $65, 600. 600 per an

that no money is expended that
is not appropriated by Congress.
and that responsibility for wise
economy rests with Congress,
