marck for the American Legion en-.
dowment fund have been completed
and committees will start out tomor.
row to raise this city's quota for the
fund. The drive in North Dakota
will be held Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, but the Bismarck workers
expect to have this city's quota OF
$4,000 raised in one day. Teams will
work in all parts of the city and
the homes will be solicited as wei!
as the stores and offices.
A. p. Lenhart has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation asking the. cit
izens of Bismarck to subscribe to
the fund:
Whereas, the president of the
United States has endorsed the ef.
forts Of the American Legion te
provide homes and education for the
thousands of dependent children OF
war; veterans the care and protec.
tiOn of wives and widows now de-
pendent upon charity. and the care
Of incompetent and disabled veterans
of the World War, and
Whereas, the governor of the
State of North Dakota recognizing
this great service to humanity has
given his approval of this drive,
"Therefore, l, A. P. Lenhart, Mayor
of the City of Bismarck, State of
North Dakota hereby proclaim the
day of May 7th, American Legion
Endowment Day.
And urgently recommend that all
citizens and organizations of this
city put forth every effort in attain

hand and the seal of the city of Bis
marck, state Of North Dakota"
The national organization is plan
ming to raise $5,OOO,OOO, of which
amount the North Dakota quota has
been set at $25,OOO.
Following the war the Red Cross
gave the legion 100000 for work
among the disabled soldiers and or
phans of the men who were killed
or who died in the service. Last
year the Red Cross found it. neces-
sary to discontinue this aid and the
Knights of Columbus offered to
give $4,000 for the work this year.
In order to provide a permanent
fund for this relief, the legion au-
thorized at the St.. Paul convention
last year the creation of a $5,OOO,-
900 endowment, the interest of
which is to be used for the aid of
the disabled and the orphans.
There are now $4,000 orphans in the
United States, while fifteen disabled
men are dying daily. many of them
leaving widows and orphans.

Three Escape From
Ashland County Jail
Fourth Jail Delivery Within a Few
Years. Small Hack Saw Used to
Cut Window Bars.

The fourth Jail delivery within the
last few years occurred at Ashland
Monday night when three prisoners
sawed their way to liberty. William
Bohn, being held on forgery
charge, Bernard Bogart, one of a
pair who threatened Mellen police
officer with a revolver, and Joe
Meyer, serving sentence on a moon
shine charge, escaped and are still at
liberty, Bohn was recently brought
to Ashland from Little Rock, Ark
ansas, to stand trial
Through some method of in
genuity which the Ashland auth
critics have not yet been able to
solve the men slipped the bolts to
their cells and after gaining the
yard" sawed off two iron bars on
one of the Jail windows. They then
pushed the bars apart and using
blankets let themselves down to the
ground. There were other prisoners
in the jail but the three mentioned
were the only ones who availed them
selves Of the chance to gain freedom.
Early the following morning the
jailer discovered that three of his
bOarders had left unannounced and
Immediately notified Sheriff Elmer
Sanders The sheriff started a
search that has so far proved futile.
Three previous jail deliveries
would indicate that it is an easy
matter to take French leave at the

bars over the windows instead Of
steel is given as one Of the reasons
A small hack saw, believed to have
been struggled in to Bohn by his
wife, did the trick Monday night.

Advertising Signs and
Bill Boards Must Go
Work of Removing Them From State
and County Highways ProceedinR
Rapidly.

The work of removing all adver-
tising signs and all bill boards from
state and county highways is pro
ceeding rapidly, in accordance with
the new law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. according
to John Donaghev, state highway
engineer. BY the provisions o.
the legislature the county highway
commissioners are held directly re-
sponsible for the early removal of
all signs from within the limits of
any public street or highway ex-
cept such as are necessary for the
guidance or warning of travel"
This statute was effective June 30.
1925, but the deadline in the var
ious counties is purely local mat
ter.
The new law further provides
that the state highway commission
be empowered to prescribe the reg
ulations regarding the erection of
all signs. of whatever nature. on
the public highways. The highway
commission will see to it that no
advertising sign displays words or
combinations of words ordinarily
used for the guidance of traffic.
The erection of signs in such place
and manner as to be dangerous to
highway traffic is also forbidden.
The new law is a elimination of
action begun several years ago by
the Milwaukee county highway
commission in cooperation with
many Of the large advertisers. The
latter agreed to remove from Mil
waukee county roads all big bill
boards. Soon after this initial ac
ton, a state law was enacted that
forbade the erection of any sign
within 1000 feet of road intersec
ton except those for the warning
of travel.
An aroused public opinion, inter
ested in eliminating as far as pos
sible many of the serious auto ac-
cidents, had much to do with the
passage of this statute. Signs at
dangerous crossings and sharp curves
have been responsible for numerous
accidents on Badger highways. OBJ
structing the motorists vision, de-
tracing his attention from the con
troll of his car. and the motorists
inability to distinguish between real
warning signs and those stop signs
used by advertisers have had a dan
gerous tendency toward reducing the
already too greatly minimized eau
ton of drivers.

Artificial Lighting
of Poultry Houses
Lengtho ming Working Day of Bid
dy" to Effect More Production
Topic for Discussion.
By W. ]. He'll, County Agent

ny W. D. mem, CouHty agent
The use of artificial lighting Of
poultry houses to increase winter
egg production is getting to be a
much discussed topic among poultry
men. To begin with the hours of
day light are very short in winter as
compared with the hours of dark
ness, whereas during the spring and
summer seasons the reverse is true.
1t is with the idea of lengthening the
working day of "Biddy" so as to
effect more production that the arti-
fetal lighting comes in. The way the
winter conditions are here the fowls
are caused to spend approximately
IA hours on the roost. This allows
only 10 day light hours for them in
which to exercise ard consume suf-
ficient feed to take care of their
body needs during the long nights
and 2-to supply food materials for
the manufacture of eggs.
The capacity of a hens crop be-
ing limited, she cannot, during the
winter days, fill her crop before go
ing to roost with much more than
enough food to nourish her body
during the long hours of darkness
Very little is left to be manufactured
into eggs. The result is that egg
production is greatly reduced.
Investigations conducted have
shown that winter production can be
increased to as high as fifty to sixty
percent by artificial lighting This
practice will not necessarily increase
the annual egg production of fowls
but it will cause the greatest pro
duction when eggs are highest in
price, thus bringing larger none
tary return.
Repeated trials have shown that it
is of no advantage to put the lights
on before A a. m. Care must be
exercised in starting the lights in the
fall They must be put ON gradual
ly, that is the day must be lengthen-
ed gradually. In spring the lights
should be gradually discontinued in
the same way during the latter part
of February.
Since the effectiveness of artificial
lighting is due primarily to feeding
and exercise, best results cannot be
expected unless the hens are fed
properly. Extending the working
daV without keeninp the hens busy
scratching and eating so as to send
them to roOst with full crops, cannot
be expected to bring results Most
poultry keepers scatter the grain on
the litter at night after the birds
have gone to roost, to have it ready
for them in the morning. Plenty Of
mash and green feed should be kept
before them always.
