Don't Abuse Broody Hens

The poultry equipment Of every farm
that keeps Orpingtons, Plymou-'
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, or other
breeds or varieties which incline to-
ward broodiness, should include a
slat-bottomed coop for breaking up
broody hens. Failure to discourage
undue broodiness in the flock is good
way to encourage low egg production.
Broodiness is natural and an inherited
characteristic and should not merit
starvation or inhuman treatment in
breaking.

XTENNER had been brought up In a
country town; he had been as far
east as Columbus, Ohio, TO football
game and had seen Kansas City with
his father at an Elk's convention. He
was eighteen and therefore very wise.
He belonged to the Presbyterian
church. and was, therefore, very good.
His father was president of the local
bank and a member of the local
school board and owned a seven
passenger limousine. Venner was,
therefore, a person Of some signifi-
canoe. And being wise and good and
important. what he had to say on
the subject Of alcoholic beverages
should be given considerable weight.
"Take 1t from me-" he said to
Brown, a young fellow from Omaha
not so experienced as himself, "the
fellow who hasn't been Jagged few
times loses lot. It's an experience.
1t gives one a different view Of life;
1t broadens a man."
But Brown was narrow. He thought
that it was illegal. he was sure that
1t was dangerous, and he suggested
that the associations of drinking were
generally low and vulgar and de-
basing.
1.-THE trouble with you. old chap"
Venner said, sis that you're dead
one; you should have lived with the
Puritans. I'm religious all right, but
l believe 1t does one good to SET a
little Of life. I've been drunk three
times lately and it's done me good"
But Venner got hold of the wrong
kind of liquor finally. and got into
Jail and lost his job and nearly lost
his life.
My friend the sheriff Is trying to
clean up the town and make 1t a
decent place In which to bring up
young men. Naturally he meets with
considerable opposition and precious
little help. He plays what is called in
sporting circles "a lone hand" Not
long ago he got into a tete-a-tete
with the king bootlegger in town who
also is wise man and who Incl
dentally has two growing boys of his
own. This same bootlegger has feen
as far east as Berlin and as far ,.tst
as Yokohama, and has been in Jail
any number of times, and he Is there
fore perhaps as broad and as wise as
Venner.
I'm agin the vo!stead act" he said
to the sheriff, land everyone that sup
ports it. I'm as wet as the Pacific
ocean and I'm goin' to fight for my
individual rights and drink if and
when l blank please"
"And your boys?" the sheriff asked.
swell, when it comes to me boys,
Mr.. Sheriff, then know it's different.
/ don't want me boys to drink. l
want them to lead a clean life, and
keep away from booze, and get an
education. It's made me nothing but
id old bum. There's nothing to
1t. There amt any experience in it
that is worth curse, and it leaves
you with sour stomach and an ach-
ing head and a bad taste in your
mouth, and lot of rotten friends.
I'm hopeless. I'll keep on fightin' the
law. But yer right, Mr.. Sheriff. Go
ahead and clean up the town, and
save the boys. Tell 'em for me there's
nothing in it. And-and, God bless
ye."
And this is a true story Of two
wise men.

THOSE who will buy for the
Christmas season, will do well to
investigate all the stores possible,
before finally making choice of the

well worth visiting, if only for the

these issues because of the public
interest involved. 1t appears that
the War Department as well as the
Navy will find themselves on the
defensive when congressional fire
is directed at their executives with
in q few weeks.
The Mitchell case has taken such
a turn that the activities of the
House Appropriation Committee and
the Ways and Means Committee
having to do with our taxes and
consequently pOcketboOk, are not
nearly so important to the reading
public as heretofore. The Admins
tratiOn hopes to put through a non
partisan tax bill as a Christmas
present but they are apparently too
optimistio. With the campaign
season at hand within few months
it would be folly for the minority
to allow a rival political party to
capitalize on this subject which
holds more interest to the public
than any other.

A PARTIAL PAYMENT TEST

Purchases made on the install
ment plan have grown enormously
in the last few years. The indebt-
edness of the American people con-
tracted for merchandise bought on
this plan is estimated to total ap-
proximately $9,OOO,000, 900. The ease
with which homes, furniture, auto
mobiles, jewelTy, clothing and thou
sands of other things may be pur-
chased on promise to pay in the
future has been beneficial, doubtless
in so far as it has contributed to
the high standards of living in this
country. Without easy credit home
buying and the purchase of cOmmo-
dities of an essential nature would
be impossible on a large scale. On
the other hand. however, the ease OF
payment on the instalment plan
may lead many people to live be-
yOnd their means and to eXtraya-
gance in the purchase of nOn-essen-
tials.
The practice of buying securities
on the partial-payment plan is also
becoming widespread. When good
securities are bought from reputa-
BILE dealers this method is entirely
worthy. Bonds are permanent and
incOme-prOducing property. The
money that is paid in periodically
for their purchase under this plan
is actually money saved. There is
one danger, however, for the mex
perienced investor in the purchase
of securities on the instalment
plan. Fakers and their like have

BRINGING BACK THE DOL.
LARS BUYING POWER

The average income in the United
States. according to the National
Bureau of Economic Research, grew
from $791 in 1909 to $1,537 in 1920.
In real wages, however, this in
crease is far less apparent. When
the purchasing power of the dollar
is taken into consideration, the real
average incomes increased only
from 1923 to $887 in that period.
The purchasing power of the dollar
OF today is a little better than sixty
cents as compared with it's pur-
chasing power of 100 cents in 1913.
In plain, simple language, the
purchasing power of the dollar de-
pends almost solely upon each in
dividual's management of the mon
ey that comes into his possession.
When money is spent extravagantly
or wasted, commodity prices rise as
the demand for commodities exceeds
the supply. Again, extravaganza
has a tendency to initiate the cur
rency by increasing the volume of
money in circulation. Notes of the
Government, like the notes of a
Milford chronicle., 1925-11-27

corporation, decrease in value as
their volume is increased. If, on the
other hand, people save part Of
their income and turn this money
back into the production of wealth,
they automatically adjust the money
situation and supply industry with
the funds necessary for increased
and more efficient production.
Every dollar that is saved and in
vested in honest, well-managed en-
terprises is working doubly to bring
the purchasing power of the dollar
back to its old level.

in control of the World Court and
other foreign problems.
According to Democratic obser-
vers, Mr.. Coolidge would hardly
dare force consideration of the
World Court until the debt settle
ments are disposed of in the Sem
ate. H. is necessary that he should
have the support of Senator Borah
and a majority of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee to ratify the de-
bate arrangements and he would
only be bringing trouble on his
head with the World Court. Then
too, there is another phase of the
situation which a clever politician
like Mr. Coolidge would not ignore,
that is, the public is not really in
terested in the World COurt. In
fact, it is said, one out of a hun
dred voters do not know what it is
all about. The distinction between
the World Court and the League of
Nations is so finely drawn that only
lawyers can make clear the diff
ference, and even lawyers do not
agree on this subject.
There are nearly twenty senators
who must come up for reelection
next year and they will not con-
consciously or uncOnsciously en-
danger their political future by
forcing consideration of the prob
lem upon which the voting public
has little Or no knowledge.
According to proponents of the
plan to have America join in this
international affair, the World
Court does not mediate or arbi-
trate a dispute, through diplomatic
or other means, but decides ques-
tions according to the fixed princi-
pies of law. Some Senators say
that international law is a myth !
and are fighting the World Court on
khis ground.
One of the interesting develop |
ments of the week has been the un-
usual interest manifested by the
farm group in the waterway sys-
TEN. 1t illustrates the close CO.
operation between Secretary of |
Agriculture Jardine and Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, both of whom !
are giving particular attention to
the marketing of farm products.
Jardine apparently believes that the
of inland waterways !
would be one way of reducing the
cost of transportation of farm pro-
ducts to the seaboard. In fact, Sec
retary of Agriculture Jardine is
going about the country calling at
tention to the need for a uniform
system of waterways for the devel-
0pment of industry as well as agri-
culture. The adroit Mr.. Hoover is
advocating closer cooperation be-
.ween farmers and business men in
he cities and towns.
Storekeepers and other benefi-
,iaries of the Christmas spirit will
10 doubt rejoice at the upward
rend in labor conditions. The De-
,artment of Labor completed stud
es this week showing that per
apita earnings had increased five h
er cent in October, as compared
yith September. No definite or re- 8
liable figures are given, however,
, designate the changes in living =
Osts. The approach of the Christ f
las season is further signaled by Y
le increased activity in the con- n
,ctionery industry which in one
onth amounted to about 10 per g
ent.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(By National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)

Especial to Chronicle)
Washington, Nov 25-The White
House is of late the receptacle of
thousands of ideas which the ori-
ginators feel the President should
accept and endorse. If all Chief
Executives needed she suggestions
for legislative panaceas, the annual
message to Congress would have
all the aspects of a crazy quilt.
Every incoming train brings dele
cations of intense partisans inter-
ested in selling their opinions to
the White House spokesmen. They
even go so far as to supply tenta-
tive drafts on various subjects for
the Presidents annual address to
the Congress. Some of these men
are often so overcome by their own
enthusiasm that they actually be-
lieve they have sold their plan.
The brief and courteous reply of
their distinguished auditor at the
close of their dissertation, Il am
very glad to have your ideas on the
subject, Mr.. Blank, is just what it
is intended. a courteous acknOw-
Judgement and the suggestion that
the inerview is at an end. 1t is cur
ious that men important in their
particular fields are often deceived
by this bromide into believing that
the President endorses their Opin-
ion. There have been many COM
plants about Mr.. Coolidge's ap-
parent indifference by those who |
wanted a definite commitment from !
the President. Those close to the |
White House say that the President .
will edit his own speech, although |
accepting partial contributions from
The Cabinet and other advisers.

are very much concerned over his
declarations, which ac-
counts for the large number of dele
cations calling on the President"

 Crowds of people left this morning for the various sea shores in order to get what cooling breezes they could, while others flocked to the parks seeking in vain for relief.
 The same condition exists among the older people and sick as was re- ported yesterday by physicians and many people are at a state of ex- haustion.
 The temperature this morning seemed a litte lower than for the past few days, and during the early hours of the forenoon a slight breeze was flowing. Later In the fore noon the breeze died down and the mercury again mounted even higher than 1t was yesterday morning. At II o'clock it registered 96 in the shade and 106 in the sun, with the high peak several hours away. All indications point to the possibility of the thermometer going higher than yesterday.
