Masons' Forty
Teams Never
Lack Man |!
Poper
By R. D. THOMAS

There are 500 bowlers in the
Masonic Duckpin League and only
forty teams, which means that
the average team membership Is
about twelve. From this it may
be. supposed that many of the
Masonic bowlers are not regular
in their attendance at matches.
However, there are several
teams that maintain q consistent
lineup. Notably among these is
the Albert Pike Consistory team.
Match after match the Albert
Pike lineup reads: Stoner, Shah,
.Ehlis, Daoud, Ebersole. 1t hasn't
varied oree this season, according
to the league scorer, John Evans.
Two other teams have unusually
regular performers. The Congress
Lodge quint invariably is composed
OF Karl Heinzman, Mcpherson,
Rupert, Stringer and E. Heinzman
with A. Heinzman as the substitute.
The other Is the George C. Whiting
Lodge team with this lineup: Cost,
Hart. C. Money, Cox Earl Money.
Make your own pun about that
st-Money1 combination.

q few days later. In the hotels

Sweden Warns Against
Violating U. S. Laws

Stockholm, Jan. ia. p. by
MaiD-The lure of the Golden West
IS as strong as ever in Sweden, and
the applications for visas received at
the United States consulates have
practically exhausted the quotas for
the remainder of the immigration
year.
In view of this situation the Swed-
ish authorities. as we'll as the Swed-
ish American Line, are making ef-
forts to prevent Swedes from yield
ing to the temptation Of entering the
United States illegally. Thus the
government social board has pub
lished in it's latest bulletin a warning
against attempts to slip over the
Canadian frontier by persons who
have been legally transported to the
Dominion.

Prevent Frosted Combs by Proper
Ventilation

In cold ATTITUDES it is necessary
for poultrymen to guard against
1, osted combs. Many people think
that the best thing they can do to
prevent frosted combs is to keep the
henhouse closed as tightly as pos
sible. That is a mistake for 1t is a
fact that a moist atmosphere Is
much more conducive to freezing
than a colder tempera ture when the
air is dry, says a writer in Success
full Farmer.
The house should be we'll venti-
lated, so that the moisture is quickly
carried away and replaced with
fresh air. Your poultry house
should have enough open space on
the south to equal one-fourth the
total floor space, and If it does not
have that much open space, 1t will
pay you to do a little remodeling.
This open space should be covered
with muslin For this purpose a
medium grade is best, one that will
prevent wind from blowing through,
and still permit a slow circulation
Of air.
The back of the poultry house will
naturally be the warmest and best
protected, so it will be wise to have
the droppings boards and roosts at
the back of the building.
Another important thing to re-
member during cold weather is to
keep the fowls busy. If you go to
the poultry house very early in the
morning. YOU will see that the birds
get off the rooSts and stand around
on the floor. If there is scratch feed
scattered in the litter. they will &c
to picking just as soon as it is light
enough, thus starting the blood in
