DUST BATH FOR THE FLOCK

If the best results are to be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with lice
or the house with mites. Usually, there
will be a place in the yard where the
hens can dust themselves in the dry
dirt. In the absence of such places, IA
box about 2 feet square and contain
ing ordinary road dust or fine dirt
should be placed in the house.
A dust bath aids the hens in keep
ing lice in check and therefore adds
to their comfort. If they are not able
to keep them in check by busting
themselves, other measures can be tax

what The committee found out about
the money that had been spent print
ing speeches of various officers of the
government. From the first of July,
1916, to September IS, 1919, over
80 $4,000 copies of these speeches
were printed. This number does not
include any speeches made by members
of congress- That number of copies

and the envelopes used to mail them
at the expense of the government cost

eminent was that for addressing the

This amounted to about $97,96s. and
the coct for landing these by the
United States Postal service was $751;

that the officers of the government

MERCHANT MARINE AID.
Use of American Ships Will Gain
Preferential Rail Rates.

The question of preferential rail-
road rates for overseas shipments in
American bottoms will be one Of the
first important matters to be taken
up by the new shipping board. ac-
cording to Chairman Benson
Hearings will be held tomorrow be-
fore the full board on the recon-
mendations to be submitted to the In
terstate Commerce Commission under
the preferential rate section of the
merchant marine act. On recon-
mendation of the board, the commits
sion last summer suspended the
operation Of the law to January / to
permit a survey as a basis for recon-
mendation. Although this survey has
not been completed, Chairman Ben
son said, it was probable preferential
rates would be made effective imme-
diately in a number Of ports.
Application Of this section Of the
act has been opposed by foreign ship
ping interests. particularly lines
operating on the Pacific coast. Chair
man Benson has declared. however.
that lower rail rates for rail cargoes
would aid in developing the merchant
marine Representatives of American
shipping interests, shippers and the
railroads have been invited to appear
at the hearing next week, the chair
man said. While no formal briefs
have been fled, suggestions have al
ready been received from NUMBER

SAYS TEMPLE BILL
IS NOT blue LAW"
E. Hilton Jackson Views 1t as
"RadicaI|y Removed" From
Such Classification.

PeruSal of the Temple bill to regu-
late the observance of the Sabbath
here demonstrates that it's pro-
visions are far and radically removed
from anything that could be prop
erly characterized as blue laws" ac-
cording to a statement issued last
night by E. Hilton Jackson.
MIR. Jaekson's Statement.
Following is the statement. in part !:
"The provisions of the Temple bill
are, in short, as follows:
Il. All labor of secular char
acter is prohibited, with works Of
necessity and charity excepted, leav-
ing it to the court to determine in
a given instance what constitutes a
work of necessity or charity.
"2. The prohibition of all amuse-
ments and sports prosecuted for sec
ular purposes.
gagged in works of necessity and
charity, prohibiting their employ
ment in such lines of work for a
longer continuous period than six
days.
Grafton of the law Of all who recog-
nize as a day Of rest any other day
in the week than Sunday.
Penalties Imposed.
"5. A minimum fine of IS and a
maximum fine of $50 following con-
viction Of the first offense in violation
Of the act, with a heavier penalty
quent ofEense within the discretion OF
the court.
"It is perfectly obvious that law
Of this Character holds inviolate the
first amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States, which declares
respecting the establishment Of re-
Iigion or prohibit the free exercise
thereof" The human provisions of the
Temple bill are recognized, whan1e en-
acted into legislation, as being pur-
suant to the general power OF the
government to preserve. and promote
the public welfare of society. estab-
fishing such rules and regulations for
the conduct Of all persons and the
use and management of all property
as may be conducive to the public
interest"
~Wide Open Conditions" Here.
cit also is well known fact that
some of the high officials of the gov
ernment who came to Washington
with the vigorous prosecution Of the
world war. after observing the wide
open conditions here on Sunday, have
gone back to their respective states
and are now engaged in asking for
a strfcter enforcement of their own
Sunday laws, and also for a modifica-
ton Of the same, where they per-
mitted the conditions that have be-
come so notorious in the Capital city
of America, where we have the pur-
est illustration of the so-called con-
tinental Sabbath"
Hopes for "Open Mind"
| 'Tt is not believed when the commit
tees Of Congress having Legislation
Of this character in it's initial stages
in charge, will approach the con-
! sheraton of the salutary provisions
Of the Temple bill in any other spirit
than that Of an open mind. Ger
tainly they will not be urged by the
responsible people who advocate the
Temple bill, to enact any legislati
that has not already been upheld in
their own states, as just and proper,
or that would in any way enjoin
church attendance. and adherence to
any creed or any conduct inconsist-
ent with the free exercise Of ones re-
ugion."

Asking Congress to approve an in

This notable fact will stand out to
the thoughtful reader of the journal Of
proceedings of the National Grange
sessfon-that in spite Of the great
clamor. tae admitted hurt. and the
bad days which have come to the
farmers. there is at no place in the
action .of the grange call for any
thing else than fair field, no favors
to other interest. and the straight
forward statement that all the farmers
want Is chance to help themselves.
In the tariff resolution is found the
implied statement that unless farm
products can have the same chance
In the markets as other products,
farmers cannot compete in the labor
market. and that too. is true. In the
keep the government out of busi-
ness" resolution is found the implied
statement that If certain Industries
and certain activities are to be pa
ternalized. then individual Americans
cannot compete in those industries
and activities, and will not try, and
that, too. is true.
1t Is the hope and the expectation
OF the farmers who make up the Ma
tional Grange that these facts, these
principles and this independence,
manifest no less in what the Grange
did not do than in what it did do,
will help Congress to know what not
to do and what to do to benefit Amer
lean agriculture and thereby the whole
American people.

LEADERS WANT HARDING
TO- STAY. NEAR CAPITAL
Contend President Elect Must Be
Consulted on Many Vital
Subjects.

Senator Harding, when he arrives
in Washington. will find a we'll de-
veloped sentiment among republican
leaders whose duties keep them in
or near Washington that the Presi-
three months near the Capital city,
instead Of in his home in Marion,
Ohio.
In the first place, the supporters
of such a plan contend, there will
be many important subjects relating
to legislation about which the Senate
and House leaders will desire to con-
suit the man who is to head the
administration of the governme mt
during the next four years. Plans
already have been made by Senator
Harding himself for consultations re-
garding the peace question, and many
of the senators and other leading
republicans have been informed by
him that he desires to consult with
them.
Marion is a considerable journey
from Washington and from other
important cities along the Atlantic
coast, and it is believed that it will
be Of no little advantage to Senator
Harding himself, as we'll as to the
men with whom he desires to confer

the President -elect should plan To
spend his winter at Hot Springs, Va.
or some other similar resort nearer
Washington.
While there is no real reason why
Senator Harding should not remain
at his home in Washington. if he de-
sired, it was pointed out last night
that if he should do SO he probably
would be subject to so many calls
that he would have little time foI
rest or to consider questions to which
he desires to give his attention.
After the election of President VIII
son for the first time, in 1912, he
remained for while at Princeton

HARRISON T0PUSH
FARMERS RELIEF
Resolution to Re-EstabIish
War Finance Corporation
to Be introduced.

A concurrent resolution directing
the establishment of the War
Finance Corporation will be the first
step attempted by Congress for the
relief of the farmers at the session Of
Congress opening tomorrow, 1t was
learned last night. Senator Harrison
of Mississippi, Senator-elect Hef1in Of
Alabama and Representative Byrnes
of South Carolina indicated that this
course would be adopted.
Senator Calder of New York, it is
understood, also will introduce q
resolution in the Senate providing Tor
the establishment of the War
Finance Corporation.
The necessity of action by the
President in the event Congress acts
through a concurrent resolution, it ia
contended in some quarters, would be
avoided. On the other hand. authorI-
ties claim that a concurrent resolu-
tent must have the approval Of the
President.
Rely on West and south Votes.
I'VE intend during the first week
of the coming session of Congress-,
declared Senator Harrison, ito pass
a resolution directing the Secretary
of the Treasury to revive the War
Finance Corporation SO that our
agricultural products may be market
able
1.-The. south and west have votes
enough in the House and Senate to
pass such q measure next week.
Senator Hefiin said 1.-THE conference
of the southern. senators yesterday
and the joint meeting of the House
and Senate committee on agriculture
which brought together representa-
tfves and senators from the south and
west, in my. judgment, will result in
speedy actions by Congress in grant
ing the necessary relief.
Believe Sentiment Created.
Sufficient sentiment had been Great
ed during the week." Senator Harri-
son said, "to impress upon those In
authority that it is necessary tina,
some immediate action be taken to
relive the critical situation"
The agricultural committees today
heard Gov. McKelvie of Nebraska tell
of the situation in his state. They
will meet again Monday morning to
hear any more interests desiring to
present views and then formulate
Recommendations which are expected
to include proposals for methods OF
procedure to be followed in both
houses.
