POULTRY PLANT
Purdy Brothers Find Poul-
try Profitable in the
Hedges District

Inc Dig L -. ". w. LeSnOrH IdTH
at Hedges, owned and operated by
Purdy brothers, is one of the poultry
plants in that vicinity. The three bro
theirs, Arthur, William and Asa, are
all enthusiastic poultrymen and es-
pecially are they boosters for Kenne-
wick as poultry district.
The present year they are making
many added improvements to their
plant, which when completed, will
make it one Of the most modern in
this vicinity. This spring they have
added to their incubator capacity and
will hatch about 10000 day old chix,
both for their own use and for the
trade. They are now building new
laying house which will accommodate
another 1000 pullets. This fall they
intend to install an electric plant for
their poultry houses, which will add
greatly toward making them modern
in every detail.
AT the present time they have
about $50 hens and with the building
now under construction will have a
capacity for about 1000 pullets the
coming year, which will make it one
of the largest in the valley.
Up to the present time poultry has
been only side issue, but having
confidence in it and the vicinity they
have decided to devote more of their
attention to it. 1t is their intention
to add to their buildings and equip
ment during the next three years so
that at that time they can care for
about 1000 pullets each year. They
will devote their entire time when
this is accomplished to their poultry,
hatchery and the raising of pullets for
the trade.
They began in 1916 with White
Leghorns from the experiment station
at Mountain Grove, Missouri, having
100 hens for the first two years and in
1917 increased their buildings to ac-
commodate 500 hens, since then have
added only slightly to their buildings.
At the present time they have Tan
cred Hollywood cockerels from hens
which have trapnested records of be-
tween $50 and goo eggs in laying
year.
As yet they have never trapnested
their stock, using the Hogan system
Of selection, but with the increases
this year will add trapnests to their
houses and in the future trapnest all
Of their pulletts, keeping only the very
highest layers for breeding purposes
and will breed for the production of
large chalk-white eggs as well as
high egg production.
In their estimation the Hedges dist
riot is an ideal location, for the poul-
try industry. The winters, as rule,
are mild, the soil is of sandy nature
which insures good drainage, and there
is very little moisture to contend with
which three conditions make it an deal
poultry country.
They extend cordial invitation to
everyone interested in poultry to visit
their plant.

American Vessels Pass
Into Foreign Registry
Change Made Necessary By Daugherys
Prohibition Ruling Which Forbade Sale Of Liquor
On Vessels Flying American Flag

Gals decided upon a change of regis
try, which was put into formal effect
Tuesday.
There was no ceremony. The A
merican flag was lowered from the
flagstaff on the taffrail and the flag
OF Panama substituted. Both YES
sells are now in shipyards undergoing
.repairs-the Resolute at the Fletcher
yard in Brooklyn and the Reliance at
the Morse drydock in Brooklyn. The
Reliance goes on West Indian cruise
in February and the Resolute around
the world January 8. After the cruis-
es both vessels will resume transat-
lantic service out Of New York.
Both the Resolute and Reliance are
new vessels, having been in service
less than two years. They are lost to
the American Merchant Marine.
When the liners were taken over by
the United American Lines it was ex
pressly provided by the United States
Shipping Board that their registry
could be changed if found advisable tc
do so. In the case of other liners fly
ing the American flag, even though
under private ownership, it is neces-
sary to get the consent of the United
States Shipping Board before 6
change of registry is possible. Botf
vessels are now subject to the call OF
the Republic of Panama in case Of
war.
So far as records indicate, it is the
first time the flag of Panama has beer
carried on merchant ship in New
York harbor.

The following clipping from the
Baltimore Sun gives some intimation
Of what will soon happen to the A
merican Merchant Marine. 1t looks
as if the Stars and Stripes is destin-
e., to float only from the stern of cat
boats and the like:
Two of the finest vessels heretofore
flying the American flag, the Resolute
and Reliance, of the United Ameri-
can Lines, passed to foreign registry
December when the flag of Panama
was raised over the taffrail of each
vessel.
The liners approximate 10000 tons
each and were the largest vessels fly
ing the American flag with the ex-
ception of the George Washington,
America and the Leviathan.
The change of registry was made
necessary by reason of Attorney
General Daugherty's prohibition rul-
ing which forbade the sale of liquor
on vessels flying the American flag
The intention to change the registry
of the liners was announced about q
month ago by r. H. M. Robinson, Of
the United American Lines.
The Resolute had been chartered
for a world cruise and was booked
practically full when the Daugherty
ruling was promulgated. Within 9
few days so per cent. of the reserva
tons were cancelled, the would-be
passengers giving as their reason fol
cancellation that they would not trave
on dry ship. Rather than have the
cruise go to smash the company off

NEWPORT. r. I-James W.
Gerard. former ambassador TO Ger
many. sees the liberalization Of the
beaten empire on the way 10 reali-
zation.
Disclosing for the first time in an
interview with NEA Service the
prophecy by Walter Rathenau near
ly two years before the armistice
that II would take so years to lib
eralize Germany, Gerard goes a
step farther and says he is con-
vinced the prophecy will come true.
Just returned from another visit
TO Europe. Gerard declares neither
the assassination Of Rathenau nor
the menace OF moaarchist plots will
prevent the success of the task
Rathenau foresaw and was engaged
In when murdered.
"As ] was leaving Berlin in Feb
ruary. 1917" said Gerard, "Rathe-
nau told me his country would be
defeated within two years and that
It would take so years to liberalize
Germany. He was right in both
instances.
propaganda favoring the mon
archy is persistent through the
newspapers backed by the old arm
ament trust. There is even a reac-
ton of royalist revenge noticeable
among schoolboys who did not suf-
fer in the war and who in their un-
formed minds see the picturesque
ness OF the monarchy.
"The government in its present
representative form-forced out
whenever the lower house wishes
will become. l think. an executive
bureaucratic government ike that
of the United States.
The assassination OF Rathenau
and the discovery of the monarchist
murder band has drawn the line
sharply in Germany. On one side
are the junkers who favor the mon
archy and the re-establishment OF
compulsory military service, for re-
venge and war-against the plain
people. /
"On the other side are the Social
Democrats. liberal thinkers. They
will be Joined by the middle classes. |
who for the first time under the |
republic have a chance TO get in on
the world. This side will prevail"
Gerard says Crown Prince Rup- /
precht OF Bavaria is a menacing
monarchical factor.
He openly boasts he can get
back his kingdom any time he
pleases," says the former ambassa-
dor. But Gerard scouts the possibil-
fty of Rupprecht's succeeding and
procIaiming himself German en-
peror.
Germans In America can do a
great deal toward liberalization OF
their fatherland," Gerard says. by
throwing their influence against
royalty and military
service.
There is tendency Of some to l
