active breeds like the Leghorns fer.
tility may run high in a weeks time.
Another vital factor entering in is
the number of females per male. In
the heavier breeds eight to ten hens
to one male Is satisfactory as a rule,
but with lighter breeds the ratio may
run higher, n to II or Is, or even
more.
When choosing individuals for the
breeding flock the selection may be
based largely on the culling work done
the previous fall. The best producers
and the best lockers should be the
best breeders. Mature pullets or old
hens make for larger, stronger chicks.
They should be big eaters, early risers,
late retirers, bold, energetic and noisy,
all of which indicates constitutional
vigor.
Since the male is half of the flock.
one should be careful in his selection
and in buying it is not wisdom to sac
rifice quality and breeding for mere
cheapness. A good male is large, well
built, stout of leg, courageous, lusty Of
voice and gallant toward the hens.

BOOKS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

A new junior farm accounts book

boys and girls in crops and livestock
clubs.

capital than formerly" said Paul j.

of the purpose of this book. I'm the
crops and livestock clubs the mem
bers are handling a real farm demon
stration. The earlier they adopt bust
ness methods and business practices,
the more successful they will be-"
The junior farm accounts book is
based on the same principles as the
farm accounts book for adults, giving
the club members the best practices
and methods Of keeping records on
their work.
During the year Junior farm ac-
counts schools will be held in each
county where the club work is organ
lied. M. r. Benedict, farm manage
ment demonstrator, will assist with the
account schools.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY

The early Matched chicks are the
most vigorous and make the profitable
winter layers, suggests G.. l.. Steven
son, professor Of poultry husbandry at
state college. 1t is desirable, where
possible. to hatch chicks of the heavier
breeds in March or April. The great
drawback to this is the uncertainty
of having fertile eggs and broody hens
early enough. Where one has an in
cubator to use, the neXt problem is to
provide the necessary warmth and pro
lection for the early chicks.
A brooder of some sort is almost eS.
sential. Most commercial brooders
are fairly satisfactory but if n cannot
be had the department Of poultry hus-
bandry at the college is in position to
furnish a plan of a homemade brooder
which works satisfactorily if properly
managed.
Where fertile eggs are desired for
early Matching the males should be
we'll fed up and mated with hens three
weeks or mOr before eggs are saved.
Less time may suffice, but under close
winter conditions the longer time is
preferable. The length of time varies
with the condition of birds, feeding,
housing, exercise and breed. With

Senator Hiram Johnson is no doubt
quite ready to agree to the proposal
made some weeks ago by Senator
Penrose hat the management of for
eian relations should be taken over
by the senate. If it needed anything
to convince the Californian TO that
belief, he has been furnished ample
grounds for diSapprOval of the state
department policy in the diplomatic
coilaborations Of our state department
with the Japanese. California insists
that 1t is quite capable of making it's
own land laws in such a way as to
protect its citizens from being over
ridden by the yellow race. The Cali
fornians find very little difference of
opinion among themselves regarding
this solemn question. 1t has been
charged that in past years, particu-
iarly in the early days of the Roose-
welt and Taft administrations, that

has therefore very calmly and DELHI
erately fortified itself against any
criticism of this kind in the passage
Of what it regards as a thoroughly
American law to meet the conditions
with which it has to deal. Senator
Johnson in condemning the tighten
ing up of gentlemen's agreements
with Japan says that "resCrt is had

can diplomats" He is sustained gen.
orally in Washington in the charge
that he makes TO the effect that the
state department is ruthlessly over,
riding the acts Of the people of the
state Of California. And the peppery
Californian does not propose to stand
for it.
There is no Disgusting the fact,that
our relations with Japan have been
taut for some time. One is reminded
of the old boast by Mexicans that they

INCOME TAX HINTS

Frequent inquiries are received by
collectors of internal revenue from
S~tOrekeepers and other business men
as to whether the taxpayer in business
for himself may deduct from his gross
earnings an moun of salary paid 10
himself. Wages or salary drawn by a
taxpayer from his own business are
more in the nature of a charge u of
profits han a charge against profits.
If deductible they would merely be
added to his income and the effect
would be to take money out of one
pocket and put it in another. There
fore, claims for such deductions are
not allowable.
Salaries paid to minor children en-
ployed in the conduct of a taxpayers
business are not allowable deductions.
If, however, a son or daughter ras at
tanned majority, or is allowed free use
of their earnings without restriction, Il
reasonable amount paid as compensa-
ton for their services may be claimed.
A farmer who employs a nan to as
sist in the operation Of his farm may
deduct from gross income the amount
paid for such services. Likewise, if he
employs a woman whose entire time is
occupied in taking care of the milk,
cream, butter and churns, or if her
services are devoted entirely to the
preparation and serving of meals fur
nished farm laborers and in caring for
their rooms, the compensation paid
her is an allowable deduction. if,
however, she is employed solely in
caring for the farmers own household
no deduction can be made.
In arriving at net income upon which

sonal, family, or living expenses. Such
expenses include rent for a home,

 SYSTEM IS PLANNED
 FROM COAST TO COAST

WINNIPEG, Sept. 15.-Plans are being considered for the completion of an all-Canadian transcontinental telephone service and preliminary work is already under way, John k. Lowry, Manitoba government tele- phone commissioner, said recently.
 At present to obtain telephone calls to Vancouver or Montreal from Winnipeg it is necessary to obtain connections through the United States. It is now proposed to com plete the two breaks in the system as soon as possible. This will ne- cessitate construction of approxi- mately 200 miles of lines in Western Ontario and several miles through the Rocky Mountains. This work should be completed within the year, he said.

 Not since the days of PorfiriO Diaz, in 1910, has the country been calm enough to permit national fiesta as magnificent as the one now in progress.
 From the United States and from Europe troupers and visitors have come to participate in the celebl T. tion The hotels are crowded. There is no Volstead amendment here. ] fact to which the humor of tine crowds testifies.
 Back of the tnsel and wild display Is the romantic history of Mexico $ revolt against Spain.

 Who Evaded Duty.

LEAVENWORTH Kan, Sept 15.- The "slackers' of the World War are soon to receive the inevitable sen tences that military justice demands.
 Eight men, who were convicted Of draft evasion and who hail from all sections of the Central West, ale now serving time at the disciplinary barracks at Leavenworth. These eight men are the first of long list who are expected to be punished.
 The sentences of the men range from one to five years at hard tabor.
 The court-martial awards are being carried out to the letter" in regard to the. impiAoned slackers. Some are working on the prison farm i; others are building roads, and the rest are laboring in the barracks shops
 By the latter part of September, one officer said. i've expect to be re ceiving steady stream of convicted draft evaders from all parts of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains"
 Names appearing on the lists of draft dodgers, which are being issued by various army posts throughout the country, are being carefully checked by government agents who are working in conjunction with army officers to put the army slack CTS in "the city of silent men," That Ia steady stream of convicted slack CTS will be flowing into the United States disciplinary barracks at Leav. enworth. Kans, and to Alcatraz, Cal. by the latter part of September, was the prediction of army officers gath cred at the Officers Club here.
 Caution Is Exercised
 The necessity for carefulness in checking the War Departments list of draft dodgers explains the nu merous delays in the prosecution of certain cases, according to barracks officials

 The jury requested the authorities to conduct full investigation.
 The Grand Jury has already re- turned an indictment against Ar buckle on a charge of manslaughter
