Mrs. C. w. Seuser Gives Her
Method of Raising Chicks.

Mrs. 4. w. SeuSer GlYeS Hef
Method of Raising Chicks.
The following written by Mrs.
C. w. Seuser has been prepared
at the request of a number of
poultry women in the county.
Mrs. Seuser is the County Pro
ject Leader for the Farm Bureau
and besides having a large a.
mount of practical experience is
one of the closest students of
poultry production in the county.
Mrs. Seuser has taken the Short
Course in poultry production at
the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture and has been a poultry CO.
operator of the Farm Bureau for
the past three years.
The time to begin planning for
the next crop of chicks is not
Ijust when you want to set your
eggs, but the fall before. Then
is the time to select the birds
that are to go into your breed
ing pen and if you intend to
bring new blood into your flock,
it is much better to look in time
for a suitable male bird to mate
with the hens already selected
as breeders Too many people
wait with the purchase of their
male birds till they want to use
them and then are disappointed
because they have to take what
is left. ! have my breeding pen
mated before the wintry wealth
er starts, as the cockrels are Ii
able to freeze their combs and
take colds in shipping later and
my mind is at ease in regard to
the source of my Matching eggs
for the coming year. In order
to have Matching eggs that will
produce chicks full Of vitality
and pep it is necessary not only
to have parent birds that are abb
solutelyl healthy and vigorous
but they must also be fed cor
rectly. Their feed should con-
sist of grains mostly and the a.
mount Of mash fed should be
limited, as mash tends to make
the egg whites thin, and watery.
To be.sure, to cut down on mash
means to cut down the number
of eggs laid by the the hens, but
in this case it is not the number
but the quality of the eggs we
are after To give the chick that
is to hatch from this kind of
eggs the greatest possible a.
mount of vitality the hens
should be fed something rich in
vitamines. ! supply these in
sour milk and as much as pos
with cabbage or mangled
Sprouted oats are good
but a good deal of trouble to-
produce. Hens fed according to
these rules and housed in roomy
quarters, and better still, Civ
en- the freedom of range will lay
eggs that are firm and have a
high percentage of hatchibility.
Following above system l am
to fill orders for Matching
eggs with the beginning of the
new year.

about the middle of February,
because that gives me time to-
put out three matches, the first
two give me early broilers that

WASHINGTON, Sept 1G.-The great
cable and telegraph war is ended. And
With it comes the collapse also of the
efforts to prevent radio from becoming a
vital competitor to the cable in trans
atlantic communication. Lower rates
for messages between the United States
and many foreign countries are iney-
table.
The story of the fight which involved
the Wilson and Harding administration
as well as the governments of South
American countries is a dramatic one,
embracing at one time the use of the
United States navy to prevent the land
ing of a cable at Miami, Florida the

EARLY CHICKS RECOMMENDED
Professor Kempster Says They Do
Better Than Late Ones.

Now is the best time to fill the incu-
baiors and get the crop Of chicks started.
according to Prof Fl. l. kempster Of
the poultry department Of the College
of Agriculture. Broilers bring high
prices until July, and the early hatched
pullets have chance 10 mature in time
to start LAYING in October or November
Other advantages of early Matching are
that one has better chicks to begin with.
and smaller number of them die. Con-
ditions for brooding are much better in
the spring The chicks have better ap-
petiies. the green food in the runs is
more succulent. and they are less apt
10 be diseased. Although the hatch
will not be as high as later. one will
raise greater number of chicks by
Matching early.
The man who gives his chicks
starr before hot weather can keep them
growing during the summer. They will
lay eggs next fall and winter. and will
be less susceptible to the fall colds
than will those haiched late.

DEAN l.. DUDLEY RETURNS
Pian of Bryn Mawr Summer School
for Workers Is Sketched


Dean Louise Dudley Of Stephens Col
iege returned from Chicago Thursday
morning after attending the national con.
terence of the DEANS She reports as
beng especially interesting 10 her. the
address of Dean Hilda Smith Of Bryn
Mawr College.
Dean Smith told Of the Bryn Mawr
summer school for workers in industry
which was held last year for the first
time and which will now be regular
part Of the Bryn Mawr program. Work
given in the school all had to be very
simple in order TO be adaptable to the
women WHO attended. Last year it was
limited TO women working with the
hands. This year some others will be
admitted. but they will be in minority.
In preparation for this school. the
women last year ranged from those who
we're not able To read or write to those
who had a high school education. In
every class students were allowed TO
say what they wanted TO study. In
English literature. FOR instance, they
voted to begin with Dante, continue
with Milton and end with some socialist
writer Of the nineteenth century. such
as lbsen. Al first the women were very
much confused by tRe large amount of
readihg expected of them. and since they
were totally unused to reading. il was
soon discovered that the varied reading
ordinarily prescribed in the college cur
riculum would have to be done away
with, and each student asked to read
only one course. Difficulty came in
finding textbooks simple enough for the
women H. ENJOY.
The classes which were most widel,
attended and which were Of most int
crest TO women were those in economics.
Hot battles were fought there every day
on the subject of the relation of capital
and labor, because moi only were these
women factory workers. but almost ev-
cry one had taken an active part in
her union. They came to class with ex-
perience of, as well as theories about.
the economic situation.

So President Jones Thinks College
Education Is INDISPENSABLE.

There's no such thing as self
made man in the mental world. any
more than in the physical world. We
are all heirs 10 all the learning. to all

'seli-made man enherits along with the
res, Of mankind
DIR. J. C.. Jones president Of the
University. was discussing the success of
college graduates when the matter of
-self-made men came up.
The influence of learning is not di-
recied upon The self made man through
exactly the same channels as upon other
men: but he feeds upon it and assim;-
lates it. and * nOurished by it. just as
other men. Cut him off from ali the
influences that culture has set at work
in the world. throw him back upon his
own barren self, ard he would realize
his own emptiness.
The 'self-made' man loses sight of
this point and imagines that he is a
product Of himself, when. in reality. he
is jusi as much the product Of the com
bined' influence of knowledge and cul
tue as any other man. These influences
surround him like the sunlight. and en-
yelop him like air. and he can no more
free himself from the influence of aiI

Too many Of our youth are drawn
away from the colleges and the uni
