FRACTION OF SECOND

Volt Lightning Arrester
And Lives.

Alvin DeBerry, lineman for the
Missouri Gas & Electric Serv
ice Co., had a very narrow es-
cape from death Thursday when
testing a $4,000 volt lightning

was standing on the ground
and his right elbo merely brush
ed the shield of one of the ar
resters. The shock threw him
free from the contact and the
instant release from the deadly
voltage saved his life. His
helper, j. H. Boggs, gave him
first aid and then took him to
Richmond, where he received
medical attention. Besides the
terrific shock Mr.. DeBerry was
burned about the right fore
arm and feet. The current pass
ed through the nails in his rub
ber heels. These were burned
off and deep holes burned in his
feet. He was brought tc
his home in Lexington in the af-
ternoon, and is recovering as
rapidly as could be expected.

CHICK LOSSES
UNNECESSARY
Timely and Important Points in
Chick Raising.

Though only half the chicks
matched in Missouri are raised
to maturity, most Of the losses
are preventable, according to M.
A. Seaton of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.
At the present time under or
dinary farm conditions the coll
ony system Of brooding chicks
is preferable. The temperature
should be about 100 degrees.
Farenheit when the chicks are
placed in the brooder, and then
gradually decreased to suit the
need of the chicks. If ample
room is supplied the chicks will
regulate their heat by either
crowding closer to the stove or
by moving away.
An abundant supply of clean,
fresh water should be kept be-
fore the chicks at all times in
some form of suitable drinking
fountains. Do not put the water
in an open vessel, such as a
saucer, or the chicks will get in
to it and became wet and chill
ed.
Feeding is a very important
factor in raising chicks. Do not
feed the chick until it is so
hours old or older as the yol1
is taken into the chicks body
Just before it is Matched and so
ample food is present for some
/ time. The first feed should be
composed of a few grains of
clean sand or fine chick grit, fed
in a flat pan or spread on a card
board. This should be followed
with a feed of rolled oats and
bread crumbs, and for the first
few days of the chicks life
they should be given three OF
four feeds of rolled oats and one
feed of hard boiled eggs. The
/ rolled oats should gradually be
replaced with some form OF
grain mixture, either cormeal
chick food or any form of fine
grain mixture. A dry mash com
posed of equal weights Of bran
commeal and shorts should be
added to the ration at the enc
of the first week. This mash
should be fed sparingly at frs
and then gradually increased
Feed little and often, and feeC
all the feed in a dry form.
Milk is excellent feed 70,
chicks and they should be feC
abundant supply of it at al
times. 1t prevents many intes
final diseases, supplies vita
{ mines and also is a good sourc,
of protein which is necessary il

G. T. Boyd to Resign
His Seat on Council

Believing that it is not proper for
him to be holding two offices. County
Commissioner Gilbert T. Boyd an
nounced Monday that he intended to
resign his seat in the city council as
alderman from the First ward. He
does not expect to present his resig-
nation for several weeks as a number
of matters in which he is interested
are now pending before the council.
Mr.. Boyd, who was recently appoint
ed to the board of commissioners. is
now serving his second term in the
council. He was reelected to the po-
sition at the spring election in April,
by an overwhelming majority.
The question of legality in holding
a city and county office does not enter
into Mr.. Boyd's decision to leave the
council. as the two positions are not
incompatible. and therefore occupancy
of both is not contrary to law. Mr..
Boyd's successor will be elected by the
council.
