Eucouraelrn the Hen,

The modern method of increasing
the quantity Of eggs that may be OBJ
tanned from hens is turning on electric
lights in their pens IN the middle Of
the night, thereby awakening them, to
the end that they eat an extra meal
and thus approach closer than ever be-
fore the ideal Of laying an egg q day.
week after week. One cannot but
think that this lcngthening Of the
working day for hens IS device of
the same GENTS who discovered that
there was no need OF arising at dawn
to feed the poultry. He simply waited
until after the henyard IGnapns had
gone to roost, and then scattered their
morning meal. The hens fOlnd their
breakfast waiting for them in the
morning, while the ingenious one arose

Give-a-Garnealt- Week,
May 2--9

The New England Division
Of the American Red Cross has
asked Essex County Chapter to
furnish q quantity Of garments
for women and children, espec-
tally children. Also garments
or material for Iayettes.
The garments and layetts
are to help clothe some of the
millions of children and babies
in Central Europe who are liv-
ing practically naked. The
two million sarments will bare
ly suffice to cover half a million
children; an infinitely larger
number can be used before the
children al even decently
clothed.
The situation of the children
overseas is literally appalling,
according to 2Uthenic infOrma-
tion gathered by the Red Cross
and other relief organizations,
and we consider this one Of the
most essential tasks we have
| undertaken. We feel we must
not fail to meet the emergency.
Through you the American Red
Cross now calls upon the wom-
en- who served in our workrooms
during the war and all other
women interested in saving the
children to mobilize in nation
wide sewing circle to produce
the required garments.
The various kinds of gar
ments needed are: For child
rem one to five years old, dres
ses, petticoats, undercoats, un'
dershirts, nightgowns; for girl:
five to IA years old, dresses
chemises, petticoats, bloomers
: nightgowns; for boys five to Il
, years old, blouse suits, under
= drawers, winter undershirts
: nightshirts.
The Red Cross Of this towl
; are asking each family to con
tribute a garment or new o
! used outing flannel--during tn
week of May 2. Let each fam
J.. lily keep this in mind and loo
e for further notice next week.

Protect the Plants of Cufworr7e

The best remedy, or rather
preventative, is to place bands
or tubes of stiff paper around
the stems of the plants as they
are being set in the garden.
Thin cardboard makes ideal
plant protectors By cutting
the cardboard into strips about
3 inches wide, sections can be
cut off and rolled around a lead
pencil to form a tube. The
protectors should extend al
inch below the surface and al
least 2 inches above. After the
stems of the cabbage plants
have become toughened and bt
gin to grow rapidly the protoc
tors can be taken off

It would be too much to ask Great Britain to concede complete independence in international well as home matters to Ireland until such time there shall be safeguards against war. England could not be expected to make way for possible hostile nation at her ocean door as long as the arbitrament of is recognized the court of last resort. Until the peace of the world shall have been made secure self protection de- mands that Great Britain make certain that Ire land must be counted her side in any balance of power alignment.

He has done to abate prejudices against Seattle in the North than any other one man.
 MT McPherson's manager of the Alaska Bureau, as an agent for the advancement of the n- of this Territory has been broadly construc- tive He has eschewed politics. factions and sections and centered his efforts doing good for Alaska.

by wave of anti-American sentiment which swept throughout Canada, the American Government got along with it very smoothly. As often is the on this side the line the Conservative prediction barking much ferocious than it's biting after it was in power. The Conservatives kept in power at the election of 1917 largely their war record and on account of the unfortunate opposition of Sir Wfrid Laurier to the conscription legislation.
 The emphatic defeat of the Conservative Party will probably stop any thought of high Canadian tariffs for a long time and it would indicate a re- cesion of the tide of anti-Amcricanism in the Dom non.
