IMPROVING THE HOME

AT this season ones thoughts nat
urally turn toward house cleaning and
improving the home. Among other
things that make the home, attrac-
tive, good framed pictures are per-
haps the most important.
In framing pictures, the careful Sc
lection of the frame is as important
as the selection of becoming hat,
but unlike hats, fortunately the most
appropriate frame is often the less
expensive. Framing is done at the
Davis Music Store with this thought
always in mind: that when the work
is finished it will be tasteful and ar
tistic.
Now is good time to have pic
lures framed, while there is such a
good selection of framing in stock

DON'T CROWD GROWING CHICK
Where Space Is Limited Youngsters
Become overheated, Causing
Outbreak Of Colds.

Growing chicks must not be confined
to crowded quarters at night. If they
are, they will become overheated and
this, in turn, will lead to the develop
ment of colds of which it is very diff
cult to rid the flock and which may
be carried along through the summer
and fall, causing a serious outbreak
of colds in the laying flocks the fol-
lowing winter.
How can one tell whether or not
the chickens have enough room? One
Of the best indications Is the condi-
ton Of the plumage. If the plumage
is bright and clean 1t is good sign
that the birds are doing we'll and have
room enough. If the plumage is soiled
by droppings, it is an indication that
there is not room enough for all OF
them on the roosts, with the result
that some are compelled to rest on
the floor beneath the r0Osts and thus
become soiled.
A, trip to the growing houses after
dark will also determine whether
enough room is being provided. If
there is not space enough so that all
the chickens can find room on the
roosts, the quarters are too crowded
and some Of the chickens must be
taken out. If all can find room or
the roosts comfortably and If thu
house Is we'll ventilated, the quarters
are not crowded and the youngsters
should do we'll.

FOR GRAVES OF

Indianapolis. Ind, April LA
call for ali members of the Amer
lean Legion to contribute 10 cents
to a Memorial day fund for the
decoration Of American graves
overseas was sent out today in
bulletin from national headquarters
of the legion here
A majority of the bodies OF Amer
leans killed in the World war have
been returned to America but thou
sands Of our comrades still sleep on
foreign soil in compliance with the
desire of relatives that they rest
forever where they fell, the legion
bulletin says. Few of the relatives
Of the fallen can go to Europe to
lay memorial wreath on the grave
Of the dear departed. As last year,
the American Legion will perform
this sacred service"
Committees have been formed in
France and Great Britain, COM
posed largely Of legion men. Posts
} in England, France, Belgium ana
Germany, cooperating with these
committees, will see that every
overseas grave Of an American SOL
der is as fittingly decorated as il
all the fallen slept in the soil Of
the homeland, the announcement
adds. Franklin D'Olier, Philadel-
phia, national commander OF the
legion. heads the committee on
memorial overseas for America, and
assisting him are prominent men
from q states Of the union.
There will b instances in which
relatives will wish to contribute
expressly for a particular grave,
wishing an individual scheme of
decoration carr led out, the bulletin
says. Legionnaires are charged
with transmitting such requests to
the memorial committees, through
national headquarters, that every
desire Of the bereaved families may
be complied with.
