USE OF SCHOOL FUNDS
FOR BUILDING OPPOSED

The supervising principals of the
elementary schools are not in favor
Of placing in commission newly COM
pleted school houses unless the
Fairgrounds, fences. and ornamental
works are also completed. Such was
the opinion expressed last night
when the principals met at the
Franklin School.
The reason for this opposition, it
was explained, is the fact that
school funds in the school treasury
are depleted in doing work that
should properly come under an ap.
preparation. The matter will be laid
before the Board Of Education at
the February 20 Meeting.

Protect Chicken Flock
During Severe Weather

There is always the likelihood of a
spell Of cold, damp weather and it is
Just at this time that colds, roup and
allied diseases are likely to get started,
with the result that we have them to
battle with all winter. Get everything
in full readiness for inclement weather
and whenever a bad day comes the
flock should be given ample protec-
ton. The houses should be thoroughly
cleaned and if repairs are necessary
this should be attended to-. There
should be plenty Of clean, dry litter
Many successful pOultrymen follow
the practice Of supplying a little more
feed than usual when the weather is
unfavorable and some of them change
the ration slightly, supplying a little
more of the heat and fat-producing
elements. This il done on the theory
that the fowls are warmer and more
comfortable when so fed and there Is
no doubt but that this Is the case In
any event special attention when the
weather Is bad is the best way to
avoid the beginning Of disease and dis
orders.

Early Hatched Fowl Is
Sure to Be Profitable

The early Matched pullet can be
made the most, or the least, profitable
pullet on yolr farm.
Cared for in the usual way, she will
begin laying during August; lay until
fall. and quit, to go through a mott,
when eggs are highest in price and
when they are needed most.
A hen molts because she quits lay
ing, therefore our problem is to keep
her laying, fighting anything that tends
to retard production.
Many pullets, being fed on q mar
row ration, begin laying before they
are fully developed. After a short Pc
Rod they quit, because they haven't
the physical strength to stand up I'M
der prolonged production.
Having your pullets fully developed
is not alone sufficient There comes
! the season when the long winter nights
cut into the fowls feeding, thereby
reducing production. Here Is where
the value of lights comes in.
January and February pullets right
ly developed and properly handled,
should start laying in August, and IN
der lights, continue through high
priced fall season until about Feb
ruary, when they will spend a short
period going through the molt.

Chicken Pox Is Common
Among Poultry Flocks

Chicken pox (sorehead) is a very
common contagious poultry disease. 1t
is usually found during the changeable
seasons, and not much during the sum-
mer. Sometimes chicken pox and roup
are present in the same flock. Chicken
pox can be very easily recognized
from the small nodules on the comb
and about the face Of the bird, which
at first closely resemble small
pimples. The pimples gradually en-
large. the tops slough off, and then
they become small ulcers.
Treatment: The same sanitary pre-
cautions recommended for other infec-
tons and contagious diseases should
be taken, namely, separating the birds
and disinfecting the pens. A laxative
of one-quarter pound of epson salts
to % or 80 birds, mixed in a bran
mash or with milk, should be given.
When given with the mash, dissolve
first in water, and then mix with the
feed. This can be given them after
the birds have been fasting for "a
hours. The sores on the head can be
treated with zinc oxide ointment,
using a match or a toothpick to apply
the remedy.

Poultry Facts


Feed the pullets to produce winter
eggs.
Close the poultry house so as tc
prevent draughts.
If combs freeze, get more air into
the henhouse. It's u sign of dampness
Cod liver Oil is not only good for
children but it puts strength into the
legs of little chicks as well.
Skim milk is an exceedingly valuable
poultry food, and can be probably
used every day in the year.
A damp poultry house is an abomi-
nation and Is just as certain to cause
mischief as anything possibly can.
Milk is the best protein for chickens
as well as for folks. One of the best
ways to market part of your milk is
through the egg basket.
The hen has not yet been invented
that can make eggs without shell ma
terial to work on. Oyster shell or
broken bits of limestone will supply
the need.

Earliest Patriotic Song

The earliest patriotic song in Amer
lea which L. G. Elson has been able
to unearth Is liberty song adver.
tised in the Boston Chronicle of Oc-
tober 16, 1853. Mrs. Marcy Warren,
wife of Gen. James Warren of Ply
mouth, Mass, wrote the words. The
tune was Boyces Hearts of Oak"
Mrs. Warren began the old American
custom of setting patriotic verses to
an English melody. Yankee Doodle"
antedated this song, but, says Mr..
Elson, not as an American patriotic
work, for originally it was song in
derision of the Americans. The
Americans admired the tune, even
though 1t was used against them.
Early in our national career Ameri-
cans appropriated the tune Of "God
Save the King" AS early as 1779 the
melody was adapted to American use,
q set Of patriotic verses having been
written to 1t and published In the
Pennsylvania Pack" An lode for
the Fourth of July" was written to
the same tune, and became very pop
ular. During the last quarter Of the
Eighteenth century "Washington's
March" was the leading instrumental
work Of the American repertoire.

Little Matter That the
Lawyers Overlooked

Judge Smith sat on the circuit
bench In Missouri many years ago. He
was known far and wide as one OF the
most patient and long suffering judges
In the state. Procedure In his court
was free and easy, and gross indeed
was the offense If it called forth re-
buke from Judge Smith.
On one case 1t is told that the OPP
posing lawyers settled down to their
arguments before the jury without any
time limitations and with a bountiful
supply of chewing tobacco. While one
argued the other ehewed, and while
the second one talked the first caught
up with his chewing. The two law
yers talked from eight o'clock one
morning until after six o'clock that af-
ternoon The jury listened patiently
and the judge alternately slept and
Rad. At last, however, the lawyers
announced that they were through
!th their pleadings.
And now, gentlemen Of the jury,
Judge Smith began, these two gentle
men have spoken long and eloquently
on the law in this case However, you
are not to take into consideration one
way or the other any Of their argu-
ments on this point of law. The last
legislature repealed the law, anyway
