LIBRARY In PLANS

At meeting, of the library board
Friday night it was decided to put
in a new heating system and to fix up
basement room for office space. The
children 5 story hour can be conduct
ed there without interference with Ii

some relief be planned at once. The

SMOKING AND EFFICIENCY
AS SEEN BY HENRY FORD

John W. Rapier, writing for the
Los Angeles Record tells US some in
teresting things about Henry Ford's
railway-the Detroit. Toledo and
lronton Some Of the first moves
Mr.. Ford made was 70 abolish Sunday
work, lower shipping rates. and es-
tablish an eght-hour day. with
minimum wage Of So per day But
this was not all He made a rule
that no employe should smoke while
on duty.
AS is generally known. this road
made money for its new owner the
very first year, whore as it had been
a losing proposition. lt would be in
teresting, If il could be known. to
what extent the mo smoking rule
contributed toward the remarkable
success of the enterprise. for as Mr..
Ford said in announcing the rule:
a man can't smoke and do his
best at the same time"
A reporter asked one Of the engi-
neers who was receiving 1915 a month
of the rule against smoking did not
take away his personal rights, when
the engineer promptly replied: Ito
hell with rights | can make several
hundred dollars more a year on Henry
Ford's road than on any other in the

poultryman. But with a beginner
il is different, and he does wisely
20 select a breed Of reputation, one
that has withstood the test Of time.
There Is more Importance IN the
feed care and strain than in the
breed The success or failure Of
most breeds 10 be profitable, de-
pends mostly on the man or woman
with the feed pail.
Another important fact that one
wants 10 consider when making his
choice. and that Is, are you buying
your stock or eggs from the strains
that are bred for egg production,
or for show purposes? II would Ne
very grave mistake 10 select stock
that you wanted as egg producers,
and 20 30 work and buy stock from
a breeder who was breeding a show
strain Of fowls Of your selection. Il
is very hard 90 combine both utility
and fancy qualities in one bird, that
viii excel In each, but Il IS being
done now by quite a few breeders.
In making your selection, the
first thing 20 DO Is 20 decide whether
you want them for egg production,
or meat, OF both, or do you want
them for show purposes Some
breeds surpass in egg production,
especially those breeds having a rep
utation a. non-setters OF these
doubtless the Leghorns hold the
front rank, and as the year round
layers, are not excelled by many
breeds This is the reason Why
most OF the large egg farms are
stocked amost exclusively with the
Leghorns Of the S. c. White war;
iety Another reason why they are
preferred is because they are very
hardy and easy Co reproduce. OF
course with proper care any Of the
pure bred breeds can be- made 'o
produce eggs az a profit
II you want TO produce meat %
large quantities, select variety
from either the Asiatic on American
class n you make meat production
"a speciality, then the Brahmas stand
40 the top, closely followed by the
Cochins, Langshans and Orpingtons.
All Of them have large contract bod
les. Some people object 20 the
feathered shanks Of the breeds IN
the Asiatic class. True that is a
well founded objection but their
large plump bodies make excellent
market puoltry and too, they are the
largest and heaviest Of all pure bred
fowls. The American and English
breeds have no feathers on the
shanks and mature earlier, but again
they lack in weight as compared 70
the Asiatics.
II YOU want a breed that is noted
for both meat and egg production
or what we generally term "a gen
eral purpose fowl" then select a
variety from the American or Fn-
rlish class. preferably from the
American. The Plymouth Rock,
and r. |. Reds are the
most common Of the American class,
The Orpingtons and Dorkings are
the most common Of the English
class. and these Of the Orpington

ALIENS CAN ACT AS
 GUARDIANS OF OWN
 CHILDREN, IS RULING

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8. -- The California Supreme Court today handed down a decision of great lm- portance in it's bearing on the Antl- Japanese controversy in this state. The legislature had passed a law making it illegal for aliens, incl igible to citizenship, to act as guardians of their American born children, in controlling agricultural lands. This law was a portion of the State Alien land law bill. Under the decision, the law is upheld eX- cept the portion quoted herein. The full bench decided that the law was unconstitutional in so forbidding aliens to act as guardians for their own children.
