French Roads
 To Be Taken
 ByGovernrnen.

Paris. Dec. 2.-Frauce. in it's new railroad control law, makes the railroads a present of advances, past. present and to come in the next five years.
 These advances, however, are in agreement with the railroads where by they had to transport millions of troops and millions Of tons of sup plies during the war al a rate bas- ed on pre-war conditions. The sponge is passed over all these transactions.
 The new law, to which the rail- roads have informally agreed, needs formal acceptance by the corpora rtons but it is expected to become effective early next year.
 The government then will have general supervision Of the roads through an executive board that will control directly freight charges so that certain industries may be favor ed il desirable.
 The companies will have rein forced credit and during five years the government will pay the inter est on 6.0OO,OOO.OOV francs of secur- iues the roads will issue to improve the lines.
 4 cooperative pool of profits is instituted by the law. Railroad earnings above a certain return to stockholders and above interest charges will be paid into a common fund to be used to meet any de- felt by other lines. A company, however, that shows greater than normal efficiency in handling traffic or other wise, may retain addition. al profits, determined by a sliding scale.
 There also is provision for labor participation in ths various con trolling boards and opportunities fol proit-sharing.

PULLETS AND HENS
By a Fancier

About the first of October is the time to
think about winter quarters for your flock.
The wise poultryman will have separate
quarters for his hens and pullets. 1t is
very unwise to house them together. Think
Of it in this way.
The hen has laid many eggs, she
knows the symptoms and when the time
comes to lay her first egg, of the winter
quota, she gets upon the nest, lays the
egg, gets down and goes about her
business of eating and sleeping and thinks
nothing about what the pullet might call
her TROUBLES"
On the other hand the pullet is very
different she knows something is wrong,
but she doesn't know what it is. She
has never laid an egg, she has fever,
then maybe chill, cramps, and other
pains. She gets very nervous, rushes
around lot more than is good for her,
gets sweaty, and finally goes into cold
corner of the coop to cool off.
By the time she has laid her first egg
the chances are that she has caught cold,
and this in late fall and early winter runs
to roupe. Her mouth is parched and dry,
she goes to tie common drinking fountain,
gets a drink, and leaves few thousand
roupe germs for the rest of your flock to
pick up.
Pullets require very different feed and
care from hens and unless they get it you
will have a lot of trouble. Their house
must be warmer and free from draughts.
In other words if you want to get results
from pullets you must help them lay.
In another article will take up feeding
for eggs.

President Hardings address and the fun
eral service over the body of an unknown
American soldier at Arlington National
Cemetery, Washington, D. c., on Armis-
tice Day, November II. Telephone equip
ment installed in front of the Presidents
stand in the huge Arlington amphitheater,
carried the Presidents voice over wires to
New York and San Francisco, where it
was transmitted to audiences through loud
speaking devices recently perfected by en-
gineers of the Bell System. Through
cloud speakers installed at Arlington, the
Presidents words were carried to the thou
sands of U. S. troops and civilians as
sembled about him on the hillsides who
otherwise would not have heard him.
This was the greatest funeral service the
world has ever known. Never before in
history has the head. of any nation been
able to address such vast numbers of peo-
pie. Never before have the words of any
leader been carried to vast audiences as
sembled in opposite portions of his coun-
try. 1t indicates that the day is not far
distant when the President can speak from
his Office in the White House to audiences
assembled in every part of the country.
While the address at Washington was
