SCHOOL TO INSTRUCT
121 NEW MEMBERS

There is to be a school for new
members of Congress next Friday
night at O'Clock in the caucus
room of the House office building.
Because in the incoming extra
session there will be a record
breaking number of new members,
Williamm Tyler Page, clerk of the
House. has invited each one of the
121 new members, including 81 re-
publicanS. 81 democrats, l socialist
and the delegate from Alaska to
a symposium at which the rules,
practices and mode of procedure
in the House will be explained.
The Speaker and other House Of
ficers, including the legislative
steering committee. will attend, so
that the new members can get ac-
quainted with each other and with
the House officers.

duties as a member of Congress
will be answered by Mr.. Page. who

Speaker Gillett and other House

DETROIT. April 2.-The identity
of the person who shot and killed
the Rev. Leo Jarecki. rector of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel Church, at
Wyandotte. near here. last night, and
the assailant's motive remained
shrouded in mystery early today. Au-
thorities had established, however.

priests household was implicated in
the act.
Father Jarecki was at the rectory
with his housekeeper. when he an
swered ring at the door and was

Authorities were told by the house
keeper that just before the priest

officers believe, was an attempt to
front door, and showed that the as
sassin knew the habits of the house

by the priest by which to find the
rectory.

driven aimlessly about the neighbor-
hood early in the evening, but they
were unable to describe the occupants
of the machine.

wheat are the two best grains and are

although wheat can be fed alone bet

may be bought to advantage, their
value depending entirely upon their
quality and condition, but as a rule
only sound grains in good condition
should be fed to poultry, and moldy
grains should never be used. The
locally grown grains, which poultry
will eat freely, may generally be used
to the best advantage, say poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A scratch mix
ture, consisting of whole or cracked
grains, made of combination of any
two or more of those mentioned, can
be fed to advantage. 1t is not advis-
able to feed continuously any single
grain, especially corn.
A mash made of ground grains, mill
products, and meat scrap should be
fed usually in addition to the scratch
mixture. Cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat
middlings, and meat scrap form the
basis of good mash, while corn chop,
corn-and-cob meal, ground oats, ana
lOw-grade flour may be ADDED or sub
stituted to advantage. Just as good
results can be obtained from simple
mash, containing three or four ground
grains and meat scrap, as from high
iy complicated mash, containing ten
or twelve products.
A large number of commercial mix
lures, both of scratch grains and OF
ground grains, are prepared for poul-
try feeds, but the value of mixed COM
.mercial feed depends upon the COM
position and the quality of the grains
used in its preparation. If a poultry
raiser does not produce any grain and
keeps a comparatively small number
of fowls, it is often better for him to
buy commercial mixed feeds The
average farmer, however, should reed
homegrown grains, supplemented with
mil feeds and meat scrap. and the
large poultryman usually can mix his
own feeds to best advantage When
two or three kinds of grain are raised
and ground or mill feeds are not read
lily available, good results can be oo-
tained by feeding only the grams
provided they are supplemented with
meat scrap or milk.
