| Mike DAILY and Ethewyn were e1-
changed. Mrs. Ludden said nothihS'
but her lips contracted in straight
line.
| And that night she FASTENED home
even faster than usual, to the helpless
figure waiting in the armchair by the
window, as though by an excess OF
devotion in her own case she couid
somehow make up for the lack OF II
elsewhere.
| Mikes fall and its consequences be-
came the chief topic of conversation
in the five-dollar trimming room OF the
! kareful-Fit Corset Company. The
newspaper accounts were eagerly fol-
lowed, and when it was stated that one
Of Mikes feet had been amputated, a
consultation was held among the girls
as to whether they should extend their
sympathy to Ethelwyn. But doubtful
as to how she had taken the news,
they Clipped in out of their earnings
all of them but Jennie-and sent flow
ers to Mike instead.
| AS the trimming room was settling
down to work one morning a couple
Of days later, still discussing whether
Ethelwyn would or would not stick to
her engagement, Ethelwyn herself
walked in. There was not rouge Oh
l,er pale cheeks and no powder on her
white throat. There was no ring on
her left hand to arouse envy In the
heart Of any one. quietly ne removed
her hat and coat while the girls seemed

he can get around just as good as any

else. He's smart as they make them,
Mike is, I'll never have to make
apologies for him."
That night, sitting by his bed at the
hospital and holding one OF his big
hands in both Of hers, Ethelwyn re-
peated to Michael what she had told
the girls. Mikes big voice, grown
weak, answered that he wasn't going
to allow her to make the sacrifice.-he
wasn't so yellow!
"You let me hear any one call you
that" replied Ethelwyn Indignantly.
"You are going to do as say, Mike

POULTRY
CACKLES
RIGHT FOWLS FOR BREEDING
Hens Are Preferable to Pullets as
They Lay Larger Eggs-Free
Range Is Favored.

fprepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
If cockerels or pullets are used in
the breeding flock they should be well
matured, poultry specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture advise. Hens are better than
bullets. They lay larger eggs. which
produce stronger chicks. Yearling
and two-year- hens are better than
older ones. Pullets used as breeders
should be mated with cock rather
than with a cOckerel. If a c0ckerel
is used he should be mated with hens
rather than with pullets. AS rule,
well-matured cockerels will give bet
ter fertility than cocks.
When possible, free range should
be provided for the breeding stock.
1t is better to provide it during the
entire fall and winter before the
breeding season, but. if this Is not
possible, free range just preceding
and during the breeding season will
be of great value. Birds on free

range will get more exercise and,
therefore, will be in better health and
will give higher fertility, better hatch
es, and stronger chicks.
The breeding flock needs careful
supervision to make sure that the
fowls keep in good breeding c0ndi-
ton. The birds and the houses should
be examined often to see that they are
not infested with lice or mites. Either
Of these pests in any numbers will Sc
riously affect or totally destroy fer
tility. Care must be exercised also
to see that the male does not frost his
comb or wattles. If these are frosted
his ability to fertilize eggs will be i'm
paired and may not be recovered for
several weeks. On very cold nights
when there Is danger of the combs be-
ing frosted the males to be used as
breeders must be put in warm place.
such as box or crate of suitable size
partly covered by bag or cloth. The
breeding male should be examined Oc-
casionally after feeding to see that his
crop Is full and that he is not grow
ing thin. Some males will allow the
hens to eat all the feed, with the re-
suit that they get out Of condition.
If this happens the male must be fed
separately from the hens at least once
day.
Provide the breeding stock with
comfortable quarters. The house
must be draft proof yet well venti-
lated and dry. The birds should not
be crowded. If the birds are yarded,
4 square feet of floor space per bird
should be allowed, but on free range
from 3 to 3h square feet per bird will
be enough.
The breeders must be fed SO as to
Keep them In such condition that they
VIII produce eggs. Any good laying
ration Is suitable for this purpose.
Beef scrap should not run above 10 or
10 per cent of the total ration. The
birds should be kept in good flesh but
should not be allowed to become ex-
cessively fat. All whole or cracked
grain should be fed in litter. This
forces the fowls to exercise by scratch
ing for it. As supply of green feed
Is usually lacking late in the winter
or early in the spring, sprouted oats,
cabbage, mangels, or cut clover or
alfalfa should be fed.

Wise Advice for Employees.

Keep, If possible, your work done
far enough ahead so that you can afford
to take few days off it, because of
a slight illness; you need the rest that
will prevent its becoming a serious
one. Gain among your fellows and
with your employer reputation for
steadiness and competence that will
insure your job during a lull in busl-
ness which necessitates the laying Off
Of part of the force. Remember that
while 1t is important to save money
1t is equally important to save energy
and capacity, both Of which have a
money value. Dissipation, careless
living. inattention to your work. all

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MAlLOCH
THE WANDERERS.


4 LITTLE church through dusty
Raised up its wooden spire,
One Of religions purities
Amid our mortal mire,
And one there came to open door
Made timid by his sin,
Made timid by the mark he wore,
And dared not enter in.
The while he paused he heard q
whir-
Beside him trembled down
Another outcast wanderer,
The swallow of the town.
It futtered through the open place.
1t mounted to the choir.
Within the simple house Of grace
Poured forth its notes of fire.
And he who lonely fingered heard
And something fell away;
He followed after singing bird
Where sinners kneel to pray.
Yea, there the old remembrance died
And there the new began;
For soon they wOrshiped side by
side
The swallow and the man.

Atlanta, Aug. 13.-The price Of
gasoline went up one cent Friday
morning, following the passage of
the gasoline tax section of the gener-
al tax act on the closing day Of the

The section provides for tax Of

Governor Hardwick, in signing
the bill, was quoted as declaring
that it was planned to place the tax

bulk by the larger dealers. AL
though the state will collect the tax
on the bulk shipments, the oil COM
panies will reimburse themselves
when they make wholesale and re-
