DON'T BE IN \ HURRY
 TO FEED YOUNG CHICKS

Much of the loss of young chicks is due to removing the chicks from the nest or incubator too soon and to an improper start in feeding operations, says H. B. Lansden. poultry specialist of the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkan- SaS.
 When the chicks are matched by hens do not remove them from the nest until they are dry, advises MT. Lansden. Then put the hen and chicks in a coop with board floor and open front protected by wire netting with small enough mesh to keep out the rats. First. feed the mother hen to keep her contented and place saucer of huttermilk and a pan of coarse clean sand or grit in reach of the chicks.
 Do not give the chicks any other feed for 72 hours after hatching By this time they will have thoroughly digested and assimlated the egg yolk and be prepared to digest other feed. If they are fed before 72 hours their digestive organs will be overtaXed to the extent that they will never be able to digest their feed properly, re sulting in bowel trouble and white diarrhea
 The first feed for the chicks should be dry bread crumbs and hard boiled eggs crumbled together well and sprinkled in the pan with the sand or grit After the chicks have had q bite around remove the pan for a couple of hours Then return the feed and let them have little more and take il away again. Keep mp this manner of feeding for two or three days.
 Another good starting feed is oat- meal and wheat bran, thoroughly mixed and sprinkled in the feeding pan. Be careful not to overlook and do not leave the feed before the chicks for more than half an hour at a time. After the first week, the chicks may he given three feeds day of fine chick grain feeds, such as fine cracked corn, whole wheat or the regular com mercial mixed chick feeds.

ON THE WRONG FOOT

It makes difference which foot the shoe is on.
 Not a great while ago q subscriber walked into our office and demanded to know why we do not publish all of the news. He referred to cretain matter of an unsav0ry character.
 We have omitted many such spicy stories during the time that we have been in the newspaper game. Possibly We have deprived certain people of the exquisite pleasure of reading them, but we have at the same time saved many a torn and bleeding heart from unmerited misery and shame. for the sting is felt more keenly by the in nocent relatives than by. the guilty party.
 II was quite time after the sub scriber took us to task that he him self was involved in a similar episode
 This time he did not demand that we publish the facts. Instead, he pleaded with us not to make them public.
 The shoe was on the wrong foot.

THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY
 IN THE SOUTH

Cotton is the biggest and most i'm portant product of the South-the staple crop, it brings more money in- to the cotton producing states than any other. The average crop in Texas is estimated at about two and one half million bales, worth approximate ly four hundred and five million dol lars The crop of Texas and Louisiana together is worth about four hundred and fifty million dollars.
 The handling and financing of this tremendous business involves great and stapling every bale. Samples from each bale must be graded several times during the journey of the cotton from the farmers field to the factory This work requires trained men. The demand for such men is always UT gent. The ability to grade cotton is essential for the local buyer, em ployees of bonded warehouses and congresses, representatives of north ern factories cotton brokers. and il many other branches of the industry The farmer himself ought. in pro lection of his own interests, to be ablt to grade cotton. He is completely al the mercy of the buyer. It is self evident that man, in order to gel l full value for what he has to sell ought to know what he is selling.

HELPING THE SCHOOL REVENUES

The Severance tax bill has now be- come a law by the Governors sigma ture. effective April1 By the terms of this measure it is estimated that the school revenues of the state will be tremendously increased, No one appears to have any concrete idea as to the amount of revenue the new tax will yield. It is provided, however, that 70 per cent of the tax shall be paid into the Common School Fund of the state and that one half of the 30 per cent retained in the county where the tax is levied shall be paid into the county school fund and one half into the road fund. There is every reason to believe that this will result in the accumulation of a fund that will materially assist the schools of the state and will relieve them of the handicap under which they have been suffering. No amendment will be proposed by the legislature to increase the school tax levy, which will remain

 Take up this department at your local meetings list by getting up something to print in this department and second, see that all the members read same in the Picayunc.

 It seems to me that if our legisla- tive bodies were limited to repeating laws for term of ten years we might feel more normal at the end of that time

WE'RE PRETTY WE'LL OFF

Man. times we do not appreciate
how hot 1t is until we look at ther-
mometer. Then, if it registers a high
mark, we begin to moan about it. So
with the cold; SO, too, when we feel
our work is pretty tough. Just look
at some other chap and hear him tell
what he has to do and we feel that
we're not SO badly off, after all.
So it may make us feel much bet
ter than we do, when we learn that d
bulletin of the National Industrial
Conference Board declares American
wage earners as a whole are now en-
joying period of prosperity greater
even than the so-called peak period"
Of 1920. This is because, although the
wages may not be as high, the cost
of living is so much lower.
1.-THE wage Garner was better off in
May, 1928" the statement says, than
during the peak month of 1920.
Wages in May were fast approaching
the peak levels while the cost of
living-~was considerably below the
peak figures"
There now; don't we all feel better?

COMMUNICATED
A Note OF Warning to Autoists.

Editor of the New Britain Herald.
Will you please print this word OF
warning, both to pedestrians and mo-
tcrists, in the hope that it may save
some ones life? r..
Early last evening l came home to
Belvidere by trolley, and saw two
narrow escapes from grewsome acci-
dents. A motorcycle with side car
dashed past the trolley at thirty miles
an hour while lady with child in
her arms was getting off the trolley
near st. Mary's cemetery. Only her
lodging back saved those two lives.
When the trolley stopped at the
end of the line. there were nine per-
sons to get off. Just as the first of
them were stepping down to the pave
ment. three automobile drivers, two
of them well known young business
men, stepped on the gas and dashed
by so fast that the motorman could
only make the driver of the last car
hear him, when he ran after him and
called him back.
No place in town needs an officer
worse than the end of the Stanley
street car line. 1t would be better to
send a few of these drivers to Jail
now, than to send them to prison
later, and their victims to the GEM
etery. New Britain lost one of her
finest citizens, John Allen, in this way,
and his murderer is still at large.
Can't we have some protection against
the recurrence of such a calamity.

GILLETT TO FACE
Strong OPPOSITION
Move Under Way to Curb New
Ensland'S Power

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 1.-THE
elevation of President Coolidge
to the presidency, which has accent
uated the power of the New England
group in the federal government, may
prevent the reelection of Frederick
Gilett of Massachusetts, as speaker of
| the house.
When a survey was made of the
important posts now held by represen-
tatives of New England, representa-
tives from other sections said the time
had come to curb the New England
ers
One of the first moves is to try to
block the reelection of Speaker Gillett.
Efforts will be made to effect COM
bination of the various groups in the
house in favor of the election of Rep
|resentative Grey of Illinois for speak
er. If he cannot command enough
strength to put him over, then Repre-
sentative Sidney Anderson of Mime
sofa, leader of the farm bloc in the
house, may be the standard bearer of
the anti-Gillett forces.
Members of congress are also dis
tressed at the possibility that in the
distribution of patronage. President
Coolidge may show disposition to
favor New England. Leading mem
bers of the republican party intend to
advise the president that he will make
serious political blunder if he does
not distribute his appointments wisely
and widely.

for the examination of immigrants to
make sure that only desirable people
enter this country, and passage by
congress by a ship subsidy bill. These
are few of the policies" of the late
President. President Coolidge must
have had them In mind when he de-
clared that he would follow President
Harding's policies. Some of them are
not approved by the people; some of
them have threatened the harmony
of the Republican party, In consider
ing the qualifications of President
Coolidge for the Office he now holds
and for which he may be nominated
in 1924 II will be remembered that he
declared that these policies would be
his.

Services At the Park

The services at Walnut Hill park
were well attended. Many not all,
made the trip to the park and went
to hear the prominent men who de-
livered eulogies.
1t was a very disappointed audience
as but few, by comparison, could
hear. I wish to question the location
and style of the band stand. Would
1t not be a wise plan for the city
fathers to make a study of this and
make such changes which would give
both the music and the spoken word
a larger, more distinct volume?
I also want to call the attention
of our city fathers to the noisy ele-
ment which is always on hand to
disturb people who would appreciate
the music and speaking if they were
given an opportunity.
Common decency should have kept
these noisy, boisterous and foul
mouths still yesterday on so solemn
an occasion.
Chasing about during concerts, etc.
doing athletic stunts and many other
disturbances should not be tolerated
by the police on duty.
A VICTIM. e

HEALTH AND ECONOMY

Evidently our new superintendent
of health intends to try to save money
for the city. Every encouragement
will be given him in this attempt. 1t
does no harm to say again that rising
taxes, present taxes even, are about
as important as anything in this city
at this moment.
DR.. Pullen, noting the present rate
of expenditure at the New Britain
be curtailed as much and as soon as
possible. The hospital committee, in
spired by this request and being eager
undoubtedly to accomplish this same
end, has asked the superintendent ito
compile statement in regard to the
finances Of the sanitarium for its in
formation.
This newspaper has never underes-
timated the necessity of aiding move
ments to improve the health of the
people of the city. The same stand
has been taken in regard to educa-
tional matters. Let every precaution
possible taken to keep people well and
to minister to those who are ill, and
let the best of educational advantages
be given our children. But too often.
those having charge of health matters
and educational matters are so wrap
ped UP in their work and are so en-
Unused by it that the matter of proper
economy sinks in Importance. This bit
of evidence that the superintendent of
health, DIR. Pullen has already con-
sidered this vital phase of his work,
is gratifying to the taxpayers of the
city.

NOTE THESE PRINCIPLES"

1t is dangerous for any man in pub
lie life to declare that he will carry
out the policies of another as already
announced. President Coolidge has not
said great deal. In this he has been
wise. But he has said just that
that he intends to carry out the poll
cies of the late President Harding.
President Coolidge may be the next
Republican nominee for the Presiden-
cy. For this reason it is a good idea
to make note of some of the policies
that he has pledged himself to follow.
OF course unexpected conditions might
excuse a man from carrying out these
policies. If President Coolidge does
not carry them out, his reasons for
such failure may well be examined to
see If they are good reasons. If con-
ditions do not alter and he fails to
carry out these policies, note should
be made of this fact
Some of the policies of the late
President may be mentioned. not be-
cause this newspaper favors them or
disapproves of them. but merely as
means for Judging the manner in
which President Coolidge fulfls his
pledge. First of all President Harding
favored American membership and
participation in the World Court.
Other policies were economy. a bone
dry plank in the next Republican Plat
form. passage of a constitutional
amendment prohibiting child labor,
replacing the Railway Labor Board by
q labor division in the Interstate Com
merce commission and merger of rail-
way lines into several systems with in
ferchange of freight cars. registration

THE POLISH oRPHANAGE

Probably 10000 people in whose
veins flows Polish blood and who are
among the most loyal of Americans
today, will march in the great demon
stration that will be one of the fea-
lures of the dedication of the new
Polish Orphanage in this city tomor-
row. The magnitude of the spectacle
is referred to merely as an indication
of the great growth and development
of an ideal even more splendid than
will be its tangible expression.
The ceremonies that will be held
will emphasize the Importance of the
part these people play in the daily
life not only of New Britain but of
this country. The fact that this great
est of all their demonstrations is in
spired by the desire to care for the
children gives it an unusually strong
appeal. The idea that this great num-
Der Of people have united in a sue
cessful attempt to guard the future of
the youth in which they are interest
ed is reassuring. New Britain may,
well be proud of the fact that the idea
was conceived, cherished and brought
to a splendid realization in this city,
as it will be proud of the tangible ex-
preston of the ideal as shown in the
fine structure which has resulted from

connection of this country's interest
with that OF Europe. European work

sell to America, but Americas must sell

ton and declare that we are quite

Europe's ability to buy from us but

should be remembered that purchas-

economic condition.
