Gull Liars From Layers.

Twenty-Five per cent of the hens
on Oneida county farms are not
paying their board and should not
be carried over for next years
layers. This conclusion by the
Blue Valley Creamery Institute IS
based on a summary or reports of
hen-culling campaigns in areas
where poultry conditions gre SINH
lar to those prevailing in tins coun-
try. -
1t is easier to detect a Stacker
hen than a poor producing cow,
according to the Institute. The
poultry-man need but step into the
poultry house at night and by feel
ing the ends of the hens pelvic
bones, convince himself absolutely
whether that particular hen is a
layer or a liar. In an undeveloped
pullet these bones are very close
together but as she approaches the
laying period they gradually spread
further apart to permit the egg to
pass between the pelvic bones in
leaving the body. When laying
stops the bones tend to draw closer
and closer together. Since an egg
measures two to two and one-half
fingers in width, it is readily seen
that the hen with bones not spread
the width Of an egg is not laying
while those with bones extended
are producers. 1t will also be no
tieced that the vent of the layer is
moist and expanded while the non
layers vent is small and dry.
This is the best time of year to
start going through ones flock to
Gull out the non-layers and early
moulting hens, the Institute states.
Hens that stop laying in July and
August are generally the poorest
layers and it is mistake to assume
that they will lay more eggs this
winter because they ceased laying
early.-Ex.

Orders Bill Boards Down.

Goodbye bill boards, you are on
your way.
Notices have been published by
the highway commission directing
the immediate removal Of all bill
boards near the federal and state
trunk lines and this will be made
to include county trunk highways.
The order says the removal must be
effected within ten days or the
boards will be removed by the
county, and County Highway Com
missioners are supposed to see that
the order is enforced to the letter.
The action is taken at the direc-
ton of the state highway officials.
The movement is general over
the entire state and almost every
county highway commission in the
state is cooperating with the Wis
sonsin highway commission to see
that the orders are carried out.
Hereafter all bills boards and
other signs will come within the
regulation of the state statutes
which requires that they be at a
considerable distance from the
highway line.-Gillett Times.

the endorsement of the regular
convention he will make a good
run.
Accepting all that this writer
says about the situation as justified
by the facts, it is still difficult to
believe that the voters opposed to
the LaFollette wing of the party
will get very far this year if the
present likelihood that their
strength will be divided between
two candidates is borne out by the
event.
Former Governor McGovern has
renowned the Oshkosh convention
and indicated a purpose to run,
even if it endorses another candi-
date.
With LaFollette, McGovern and
Wilcox in the field the election, it
appears, could not be regarded as

In Wisconsin.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune,
tripping through Wisconsin with
the purpose Of estimating the poll
tical situation, inclines to the opin-
ion that the anti-LaFollette faction
has better chance of making a
good fight of the senatorial con-
test than has generally been be-
lieved to be the case.
With Senator LaFollette gone it
is his opinion that defections from
the LaFollette organization are go
ing to be widespread and to en-
brace mon of considerable parts
whose loyalty to the senator was
unwavering. 1t was, he declares, a
personal loyalty, and one that is
not transferable. With the senator
gone, those who were actuated by
1T feel themselves free to take new
positions and to form new alliances
without laying themselves open to
the reproach Of inconsistency and
disloyalty.
Former Senator Wilcox this
writer finds, is in high favor in
many parts Of the state, and with

CAN CIRCULATE PAPERS
New Law Says Petitions for
Candidates May Be Filled
This Month.

Candidates for United States SEN
ator to fill the uneXpired term of
the late Senator LaFollette may be-
gin circulating their nomination
papers this month, the state cleo
ton laws indicate.
The law provides that nomina-
ton papers shall be filed Is days
before the primary. Sixty days be-
fore the time of filing is allowed
for circulation of the petitions.
The primary must be held two
weeks before the special election.
Thus the candidates would be able
to circulate their petitions approx
imately three months before the
special election.
It is expected in capitol circles
that the special election will be
held in October, with the primary
to be held early in that month or
late in September. The basis for
this opinion was Governor Blaine 5
expressed intention of calling the
election for a time when farm
work would be slack and the in
tervening time that would be re-
quired between the election and
the converting of congress in Dec
ember for the canvassing Of re-
turns and other official procedure
The law provides that the date
of the special election shall be not
less than 35 and not more than 40
days from the date of the govern
or's order, and that the special pri-
mary shall be not less than 25 and
not more than 30 days from the
date of the order. Hence, three days
would be left for filing nomination
papers if Governor Blaine gives 35
days notice and eight days if he
gives 40 days notice.
The Republican candidates will
need 3,117 signatures for their
nomination papers and the Social
lists must obtain 807. If the Demo
Gratis have candidates, their petl-
tions must contain 682 names. The
law requires that the petitions
shall be signed by one per cent OF
the party vote from each Of at
least six counties and not less than
one per cent of the total party
vote for the state.

Mail Boxes White,

The postoffice department at
Washington sometime ago made a
recommendation that all rural mail
boxes be painted white.
The recommendation was chang
ed recently to an order and now
all boxes on rural routes must be
painted white, and the names
painted in black in letters not less
than one inch high. This makes
them look uniform and all boxes
should be the regulation boxes ap-
proved by the department.

Must Garry Flag.

Rural mail carriers may carry
the American flag on their cars as
mark of Identification, if a plan
now under consideration by the
postal authorities is adopted. The
flag will distinguish their cars so
that patrons can see them at dis
lance in case they wish to deliver a
personal message. 1t is thought
that this custom will also increase
the efficiency of the department.
At the present time the rural mail
carrier has nothing to distinguish
him from civilians since the gov
eminent eliminated the uniform
and weather flag.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Florida is lammed not on Y with realtors, visitors
and investors but with freight So great has become
the pressure of building materials and machinery re-
suting from the states great building boom, that it
has been necessary TO declare temporary embargo
on nonperishable freight in southern Florida
The embargo will be lifted, of course, as the situa-
ton straightens out. While it lasts it to call
emphatic attention to the vast construction program
going forward in Miami and other Florida cities
All the state there is a tremendous rush of
building. At time when the volume of instruction
is higher than before for the whole country, it is
highest of all in Florida.
"Speculation?" 'Over-confidence?" Possibly.
But it would be fine if other and cities had
little more of the faith that moves those Florida peo
ple-say about half much is found in Jackson
vile and one-fourth much in Miami,
Florida IS building for the future-a future which
may delay longer than the enthusiasts think, but will
later. Most of America hasn't got
beyond trying to catch up with the past, far
building requirements are concerned.

FOOD CURES

Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the American
Medical Journal, objects to food growers and manu-
facturers making extravagant claims for their special
products.
The time has arrived" he declares, for calling
halt to the growing procession of Slogans that tend to
promote panaceas for health and welI-beng. It is for
the individual physician to determine whether his pa
tient ought to breads other foods that depart
from the standard product Of the normal diet
The speciales advertised enthusiastically
usually good in themselves. They may possess great
merit. But nobody live on exclusive diet of
bread bran raisins apples milk meat or
any of the other good things urged upon the public
earnestly.
From their advertising, it does look sometimes as
if the present foodpurveyors the neal descend
ants of the old patent medicine purveyor who eo-
quenty maintained the miraculous properties of his
products. They seek to persuade to accomplish
with foods what the medicine urged our grand
parents to do with drugs
The new system is unquestionably far better than
the old. Yet it probably misleads lot of people, and
tends to make self-conscous about diet as
used to be about our various symptoms.
Very likely something ought to be done about it.
But what do problem, for all food boomers will
insist they right about it.
They might get together and form food trust
then compromise their claims. But that might lead to
new difficulties

WIDOW RECEIVES
new BILLS FOR
CHARRED REMAINS
BY United Press Lensed Wire

HANFORD, Calf, Sept. 30
Something of the skill and cffici-
ency of Uncle Sam experts in the
treasury department is cviicnced in
the manner in which 4. number of
charred bills were inspected and in
ventoried for a local widow.
The widow was made happy this
morning by receiving Uncle Sam s
voucher for $l0S0, just $40 less than
the original fire crisped bills
amounted to.
After receiving the money on her
deceased husband IS insurance pol
icy, the widow placed the money, in
currency, in the oven of the family
cookstovc. Hunger prompted the
children to prepare something to
eat and when the widow returned
from her work she found naught but
charrcd embers remaining of her
hoard. The fragments and cmbcrs
were carefully gathered up and
brought to local bank, which for
warded them to Washington, where
keen eyes, dcft fingers and uneanny
money sense cvaluatcd them with
surprising accuracy.

BEAUTY AND BUSINESS

Miss America" is heard from again, Just the
famous Atlantic City beauty pageant beginning to
fade from memory Suit is threatened against the
beautiful young lady bearing that proud title, by a
gentleman who airs his grievance follows:

and she has signed up with motion picture COM
pany was to act as her manager on fifty-fifty
basis for year.
The beautiful young lady from California, now
engaged in motion picture work in New York, will
make no statement" thereby setting other young
ladies wise example.
All of which is mildly amusing to that part of the
nation which doesn't take these beauty contests seri
ously. 1t may be, as the poet said that beauty is
truth but it looks nowadays if beauty is
business.
