elect Harding to-day suggested TO
inauguration officials at Washington
that he take the oath of Office on the
east porch of the capitol instead oe
in the Senate chamber, as planned
by the Congressional committee.
He telegraphed to Senator Nnox
| chairman OF the Congressional COM
mittee, that although it would be
agreeable to him to have the cere-
| mony in the Senate chamber. he
thought that the public might prefer
| to have 1t outdoors.

by the changes made in the inaugural
ceremonies at the request Of the
President-elect. After Mr.. Harding
takes the oath Of office he and Mrs.
Harding, in accordance with custom,
are expected to entertain Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson at luncheon.
President Wilson, it also VS.
learned to-day, plans to leave the
White House for the home here
which he recently purchased, on the
81 OF March, the day preceding his
retirement from Office. The new
home is expected to be vacated by
the present occupant on Feb. IS, and
as soon as certain alterations have
been completed the moving of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson's personal belong
ings from the White House Is ex-
pected to begin.
Many Of President-elect and Mrs.
fIarding's belongings, including some
OF those now in their Washingto ton
home. probably will be moved into
the White House during inaugural
week, and 1t is understood to-day
that Mrs. Harding, or representa-
tive Of the new first lady Of the land,
might visit the White House within
the next few weeks to arrange pre-
liminary details.
Plans for the Inauguration o!
President-elect Harding, as they

almost as simple as those attending
the induction into office Of Thomas
Jefferson, who walked from his room

Harding for simple inaugural, it

Largo A-Shaped Coop Used by Govern
mont Poultry Farm In Artificial
Lighting Experiments.

where during the fall and winter the
nights are from 13 to 15 hours long
the transplanted domestic fowl from
the tropics has changed her habits
but not her nature. During this time
she takes her vacation when she has
the least to eat and to do. This is
from necessity rather than from
choice. for. given an opportunity to
eat, exercise, and enjoy herself for IL
hours n day, she lays nearly, IL not
quite so well, as during the summer
mouths
hotlng on this theory many poultry
keepers EnVG foUnd 1t prohrablN tc
Hight thclr poultry houses for several
hours each I.y This icngthcuod day,
together rith the right kind of iced
and plenty Of exercise, has been found
to Increase to a marked degree the
number Of eggs laid by pullets in the
fall and winter. 1t does net pay to
provide light for older hens. A II
hour day for the laying flock during
the winter months Is the aim of those
who are following this practice.
Experiments are being carried Oh by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture Mt the government poultry
farm at Beltsville, Nd, for the pur-
pose Of securing more data on this
phase Of poultry work. The results
secured thus far corrOborate the testi-
mony Of others as to the value Of H.
Elimination In hen houses.
The birds used In the government
experiments are fed four times a day,
at eight. twelve, four and some time
after dark. This last feed is for the
birds breakfast. In addition to the
four feeds dry mash Is kept con-
stantly before the birds.
BY means Of an ordinary alarm
clock an electric switch Is turned on
about 4 80 In the morning. Care is
taken to increase the length Of the
time Of illumination gradually or the
effect on the birds would be disas-
trous. At the close Of tho season the
decrease must be made slowly. From
November I, the opening Of the pul!et
season. to April l is the time when
lighting Is usually provided FOR fowls.
70 secure the desired results It Is
necessary not only to provide food
ready for eating when the birds
awake, but also water. In very cold
weather some special means Of heating
1t must be provided or the watering
trough will be frozen over. The birds
will not do well If drink is not avail
able also. A small oil lamp under
bucket. an electric attachment for
slightly heating the wnter, and a
watering tank insulated somewhat af-
ter the Idea Of hreless cooker are
the methods used for keeping the
water for the flock at n temperature
above freezing.
How to Save Light.
In pen 20 by 20 two lights latl,er
than one should be used. A wide
angled reflector that will throw the
light to all parts Of the building also
helps to get the best results from the
amount Of electricity used. To save
illumination the windows should be
placed when feasible on the south,
east and west sides Of the building.

WHERE IMPORTS COME FROM.
The One Item Of Perfumes Forms tho
Basis for an Interesting Story.

Milady America paid $4,972,54l
during the last year for perfumes,
cosmetics and toilet preparations, a
fact which has led to confused spec
ulation by Mere Man as to what she
did with them.
The real romance and adventure in
the statement lies not so much in
the uses 10 which these imports were
put as tc where they came from-a
story which is related in the follow
ing bulletin from the Washington, d.
c., headquarters Of the National Geo
graphic Society:
'When you pay the apothecary a
sum that seems like dollar a whiff
for something that delights your
senses, or if you are especially fastid-
ious, have him compound the scent
that suits your personality, did you
ever stop to wonder where his pre-
cious ingredients came from? The
sunny isles and lands along the Med
iterranean probably grew some of
the flowers, others perhaps were
plucked by dark Moorish hands in
Algeria, and mayhap an animal in
the brooding hills Of Western China
gave it's life to furnish one constitu-
ent Of the perfume.
'The vegetable kingdom is neces-
sarily the most fertile source of per-
fumes. From its flowers, such as the
rose and jassamine, and from its
seeds, woods and barks, such as the
spices and sandalwood, even the most
fastidious connoisseur would be able
to select either some simple odor or
complex bouquet. Nor arc they for
perfumes alone, but for scenting
soaps, cream, pomades, and In maxi
ing flavoring and extracts.
Rosemary, thyme, sweet basil and
marjoram are found in great profu-
sion in Mediterranean countries, and
here the chemist can disti] the whole
plant and not bother about picking
the flowers. Shakespeare, the unfail-
ing naturalist that he was, made no

Mohall Starts Ball Rolling for Federal
Aid for Needy Farmers


A meeting attended by forty bust
nessmen and farmers was held at Mo-
hall Friday evening, called at the sug-.
gestion of NJ. o. Hall Of San Diego,
Calf. Mr.. Hall was chairman Of
the evening. The plan for securing
federal aid to assist the farmers be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the
eastern boundary of Minnesota was
considered and telegram was sent
to U, S. Senator Gronna, setting forth
the urgent needs of a good many of
the farmers in that district. The
plan is to make a survey Of eac:h:
township in the state thru county
chairman, to ascertain how much seed
and feed will be needed for the farm,
ers to get in their spring crops. Each
county auditor will be asked to serve
as his county chairman, It is hoped
to interest the farmers in the plant
ing of potatoes, using uniform seed,
corh and other crops. The counties
and the state are unable to assist the
farmers who need help and the banks;
are no longer able to finance them.
Unless the government comes to their.
rescue, many of them will be out of,
business 1t is hoped that federal
aid may be secured for those who
need it.
