in the furnace.
sMisfortunes do not come singlyp'
Mr.. MeCray was recently defeated
for the nomination for Secretary of
State (by his friends?) Now new
oil burner, supposed to be a sure
remedy for the high price of coal and
the poor mans friend, gives him
hard jolt. "A few months ago he had

HAYS B. WHITE MAKES GOOD
For three years I have been in
Washington and, as newspaper man
in constant observations of the doings
of Congress and Congressman, natur-
ally have been chiefly interested in
the Kansas Congressman, and / am
glad to bear testimony that, in my
judgment, Kansas has never before
been represented so well in either
house of Congress.
1 have been particularly interested
and impressed with the good work
done by Hays B. White, representa-
tive from the Sixth Kansas district.
From the first day Mr.. White began
making friends, and now that his
fourth year of service is approaching
an end am sure can truthfully say
no man stands higher in the esteem
of his colleagues than the farmer
Congressman, Mr.. White.
It is not necessary that a Congress
man have his name attached in order
to have had an important part in it's
formulation. A brief but timely
speech frequently accomplishes a
vast deal in shaping policy, and Mr..
White has become noted for his short
pithy speeches. The immigration re-
striction law, whcih is one Of the
mos important achievements of the
Republican Congress, bears the i'm
print of his thoughtful consideration.
The soldiers bonus bill, which the
President unhappily vetoed, was
much better measure than it would
have been but for Mr. Whites sturdy
and effective opposition to it's ruin
Gus land-settlement features. When
a soldier bonus bill is enacted it will
be free of these absurd features so
efectually opposed by Mr.. White.
On all the farm legislation, from
the emergency tariff down through
the list, Mr.. Whites position was
that of his farmer constituents. He
consistently and vigorously supported
the revival of the War Finance cor
poration, which placed billion dol
lars into farm credits and the moving
of farm crops and livestock, the en-
largement of the capital of the farm
loan banks to $5O,0OO,0OO which
brought about the lower interest rates
on farm loans, the cooperative
marketing bill, the .Capper- -Tincher
bill to prevent gambling in grain
futures, the bill to control and regu-
late the stockyards, and the measure
to put a dirt farmer on the federal
reserve board. All these laws are
beneficial to the agricultural industry
and all of them are championed by
Mr.. White.
Not one of them can be termed
Class Legislation, but all are calculat-
ed to benefit the country at Irage.
Hays White is right now at the
zenith of his Congressional career.
He can do even more for Kansas and
for the people of his district in the
succeeding years than he has already
done. It would be a great mistake
to retire him, and I have not the
slightest notion that the people Of his
district have any such purpose in
view. I believe he viii be, as ne
ought TO be, overwhelmingly re-elect-

Road SIGNS

II YOU can't talk, make signs, but
for goodness sake make signs that
can be read. Autos have made poss-
ible the greatly increased travel OF
people that formerly pretty general
ly stayed at home. Oour paved roads
not only help the farmers to get
crops and products to market put
serve also to bring customers to his
gate, provided that he makes his
products known to the travelling
public. The farmers blackboard is
coming into quite general use, but
in altogether too many cases the
blackboard is nailed directly in front
of the gate, faces the road squarely
instead of the traveller as he ap-
proaches, and in too many cases the
writing on the board is so hard TO
read that the autoist must stop in
order to read it.
The sign that can be read with
out difficulty is the one that is
placed so that the driver OF the car
faces II as ne approaches, preferably
of course this should be so placed
that it is read from the left hand side
of the car. but this is not as essen
tial as that it should face the driver
and not the road. This OF course in
order to catch traffic both ways
must be double but such sign
would most certainly be read by far
more people that the ordinary sign.
This is the sign for selling hatch
ing eggs, Why not try out the plan
of a neat road side sign.

ers, and some birds we're taken to a
poultry show and for want Of a better
name were designated as Rhode ISL
and Reds. The splendid qualities of
these birds as egg producers and as
meat birds brought them rapidly into
popularity.
Are Active Birds
In weight the Rhode Islands are a
little lighter than the Rocks, the
cocks weighing 81, hens 615, cooke
rels III, and pullets pounds. This
slightly lighter weight makes them a
very active bird for what is generally
termed the heavier breeds.
In the Salt River valley the Rhode
Island Reds are more popular than
any other of the heavier breeds.
Larger flocks are found on the farms
and more OF them. There is very sell
dom any loss from heat, in fact, there
is probably no more danger OF loss
from heat than with the Leghorns.
At the government station, Rhode
Island Reds made better records than
the Leghorns; losses were no greater
and the cost of feeding was 25 cents
more per hen, a difference that would
be more than offset by the gain in
weight which the Rhode Islands
make. Weights Of many hens at
some experiment stations have shown
that the average gain Of Leghorns
during their first year is about one
quarter pound, while the gain OF the
Reds is from a pound to a pound and
quarter.
The Rhode Islands are heavy win
ter layers, and hence the value of the
eggs produced, as a larger proportion
of them is laid in winter, makes the
total value of the eggs for the year
greater than for the lighter breeds
that may Cor may no) lay more
eggs, but lay a larger percentage IN
the summer.
Rhode Island Whites
A newer variety is the Rhode ISL
and Whites. This variety has the
Same type (box-car shape), same
weight and at the egg laying con-
tests held in various parts of the
country has made records that places
this branch of the Rhode Island fam
lily in the front rank of the egg pro-
ducers. In many parts of the coun-
try there are those who prefer a
white bird, but admire the many ster-
ling qualities of the Rhode Island
Reds, objecting only to the plumage
that will fade somewhat and, at the
best, is rather hard to get in Just the
desired shade. To such breeders the
Rhode Island White has special
appeal, and there are an eyer-in-
creasing number of breeders eacn
season.
The Rhode Islands lay brown egg
OF good size, and in New England,
especially, where brown eggs are pre-
ferred, there are many commercial
flocks OF Rhode Island Reds. There
are many reasons why this breed has
special advantages for the Salt River
valley. In the first place, it is a

of the graceful curves of the Ply
mouth Rocks or Wyandottes, the an
gular form Of the Rhode Islands may
appear to be plain and unhandsome,
but to thousands of fanciers all over
the world the Rhode Islands have a
beauty all their own. A beauty that
is made richer because of the in
trinsic worth of the breed for its util-
ity qualities.
Years ago, the farmers around GER
tain towns in Rhode Island were
breeding mixed flocks. renewing the
blood quite largely by the introduce
tion Of males brought from overseas
by sailors. Some of these males came
from the Orient, some from india
possibly. and some from the Mediter-
ranean countries. 1t is generally pre-
sumed that there was blood OF the
Cochins, Games, Buff Leghorns, Wy
andottes and quite likely other breeds
in the flocks of the Rhode Island
farmers who were keeping hens. not
for the fun OF it, but for eggs and
for meat. In the run of years 1t be-
came apparent that the Red roosters
seemed to transmit the qualities most
desired and there was a general ten
dency towards birds of that color.
After a time, the type and color be-
came more or less fixed among few
breeders more particular than 9TH

indigestion in chicks as well as hui
mans is generally the result OF eating
too much OF the wrong kind of food.
Brooder q Necessity
For the commercial flock incubator
Matching and heated brooders are a
necessity. on most Of our farms
where large flocks are kept the in
cubator and brooder are also neces-
sary, or at least the brooder, for many
purchase the day-old chicks, and
there are a number of types of brood
ers that give satisfaction and strong
healthy chicks result. The fireless
brooder that was so much talked of
a number of years ago is possibly as
we'll adapted to our climate as it is
to any, and it cannot be denied that
it is possible to raise chicks in these
brooders that will be as strong as
chicks raised in any brooder, but the
care necessary to raise them sue
cessfully in these fireless brooders
makes them very unsatisfactory.
In vitality and health of chicks,
aside from the disadvantage of the
lice proposition, there is nothing that
beats hem matched and hen-raised
chicks. For breeding from special
matings or from choice eggs, a few
settings under hens is not necessarily
old fashioned, but may be recon-
mended as a splendid practice,

with an old incubator. which is run
along side two others that are
giving good results. He has lost, or
never had the directions for this
make of machine, and is of the opin-
ion that the amount Of ventilation
NAV be had too much or too little, as
the thermometer runs regular. Would
suggest that the thermometer be test
ed with the other two thermometers,
and il may be found that this may be
the cause OF the trouble. insufficient
ventilation will rob the chicks OF
needed oxogen before it Is hatched,
and results in weakened chicks. put
the ventilation must be considerably
off to make a great difference in the
hatch. but should be as near right as
