FAITH IN PRAYER EXPRESSED
BY A BURLEY POOL OFFICIAL

Bush w. A1lin, of Harrodsburg
vice president of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association,
which has nearly 10000 members
among the tobacco growers of West
Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana
and Tennessee, and who was in Hunt
ington, w. Va, the past week with
Director of Warehouse Ralph NJ. Bar
ker. is a firm believer in the efficacy
of prayer, he says.
Allin, who is a banker in Kentucky
and director of the association, is
well known church man. When the
association wanted TO negotiate the
! loan of $10,OOO,0OO which the war Fl.
nance corporation placed at its dispo-
sal to enable 1t to market its tobac-
co in an orderly manner, Allin was
sent to Washington with two other
hurley men and several Kentucky
bankers to help put the thing over.
II was scared stiff" said Mr. Allin
in relating his experience. 81 have
made it a rule since my early man
hood to take everything to Him who
rules us all, in prayer in every tight
place have ever gotten into. In
this case the interests of more than
| 10000 farmers who were desperately
in need of help were at stake. Be-
fore ! went to the conference with
the war finance board | knelt in my
hotel room and prayed that if what
we wanted was best for us to have,
! that we might get it, was the hap
piest man in the United States when
we left the conference room later in
the day with the endorsement of the
war finance board to a loan of $10,-
900, 900, though we never have had to
use more than $4,000,00O of that
mnoey.
81 believe in prayer; believe in 1t

EAST FAvoRs RECLAMATION

By reason of the efforts of the late
Colonel Roosevelt and Secretary
Lane. the east became thoroughly
familiar with the reclamation policy
for the west and gave it general sup
port. This policy still finds favor in
the east as well as the west, and the
dissertation of this policy by the re
dictionary leadership of the Republi-
can party is likely to arouse a large
share of resentment among the peo-
pie of the east, who realize the value
of western reclamation to the entire
country.

GROUND GRAIN NEEDED PART
OF RATION FOR LAYING HENS

A mash composed of ground grains
or their by-products and some form
Of animal protein is an essential part
Of a ration for both growing chickens
and laying hens. The reason is that
birds putting on growth or produc-
ing eggs can not assimilate enough
nutriment from whole or cracked
grains to supply the maximum need.
When the grain is ground, says the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture, little work is required of the
gizzard, and much more il the feed
can be used in making flesh or eggs.
The scratch grain part of the ra-
ton, however. is needed to give the
gizzard something to do in order to
keep the birds in health. For laying
hens the scratch grain thrown In the
litter provides an incentive to need
cd exercise.
It was once thought that the mash
should be fed wet to produce the best
results, but experiments have proved
that in spite of the slightly better
palatability of the wet feed, the con-
yenience of feeding 1t dry overhal-
ances any slight gain in production.
Feeding it dry is now the usual meth
od Digestibility is not increased by
wetting.
The principal object of the wet
mash is that it requires too much Ia
Dor. 1t must be moistened, then car
ried to the hens once day, and the
troughs must be cleaned after each
feeding. Cleanliness is absolutely es-
sential. because indigestion and diar-
rhea will result from feeding in dir
ty troughs On the other hand, the
dry mash hopper may be filed once
a week or even less frequently, and
needs no further attention. Hens do
not overeat of dry mash as they some
times do of wet feed.

.SUN.HELPS CITY
LOOSEN GRIP OF
GREAT BLIZZARD
Cars Will Be Running on
Schedule Today, Say
Company Officials.

Aided by ten hours sunshine,
Washington yesterday made rapid
strides in freeing itself from the
mantle of snow under which IT has
been buried since Friday. An aug
mentcd force of street cleaners
opened many streets which have
been impossible since the blizzard
swept down Officials of the street
car companies announced that
practically every line would fur
nish normal service this morning.
With the home going rush of
government workers yesterday af-
ternoon, the street car companies
were unable to cope with the situa-
tion. and tic-ups existed on nearly
every street car line in operation.
Many Cars Moving.
Traffic on the Ninth street line
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company moved between
th,. wharvcs and seventh street
and Florida Avenue. while on the
Columbia line only one track was
open between the Treasury and
Fifteenth and II streets northwest
Service on the Eleventh street line
was given between Eleventh and
Iorida avenue an .dEleyenth and
G streets northwest These lines
however. are expected to be open
this morning.
Cars on the Florida avenue line
of the Capital Traction Company
were operated on one track. while
the line to Takoma is still un-
opened.
With the promise of fair weather
by the Weather Bureau for today
and tomorrow indicates that the
blizzard soon will be but n memory.
Work During Night.
officials of the street cleaning de-
partment had their force of men
removing snow from the streets
until late hour last night, while
trackmen of the railway companies
worked throughout the night in an
effort to clear the few stretches of
track that are yet unopened.
Confidence is expressed by street
railway officials that service on the
lines. with the exception of subur-
ban lines. will be normal when op-
crations are started carly this
morning.

CIRCUIT BASIS PLAN
TO MARK DISPLAYS
Michigan State Expects Huge
Sales Boom as Result
Of Novelty.

For the first time in the history
of automobile shows in Michigan
the automotive exposition will be
conducted on a circuit basis. At a
meeting held in the offices Of the
Michigan Automotive Trade Associ-
alton recently. representatives OF
dealers in twelve Michigan cities
agreed Upon show dates and a gen.
eraf plan for their conduct.
The first show on the circuit will
be sta Sed in Pontiac. February ] to
4. and the final event is scheduled
for Battle Creek. April TO s. In
addition to the twelve cities repre-
scented at the meeting it is prob
able Jackson will have show in
the circuit, but no date was allot-
ted, as the jackson dealers were
disappointed in the building they
expected to obtain and have been
unable to secure another suitable
building.
Although the circuit is organized
by the NJ. a. I. 4. the State organ
ization will not take over the in
dividual management. each city
having its own directing head.
However shows will be staged un-
der the general supervision of II.

ton, has staged the five larges,
shows of the d. A. d. A. and all its
other show activities since 1917
have been under his direction.

Tentative show plans call for
group decorating in that more
