FEEDING YOUNG CHICKS

The proper feeding Of the young
chickens makes a great deal of diff
ference in the future profit which can
can be expected from the flock.
Broilers and frys are most profitable
when they reach the market before
the slower grown chicks are ready.
Pullets which are well grown and
matured are the ones which make
profitable layers during the coming
winter. There are a good many diff
ferent systems of feeding the young
chicks and good many feeds which
ars used for this purpose. The fol-
lowing method which is suggested by
the United States Department of
Agriculture will prove helpful to
most producers. They state:
Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily. depending
on ones experience in feeding. I'm
doubtedly chickens can be grown
faster by feeding five times daily

Best Turkey Eattener

Old corn fed partly whole and
partly cooked, with boiled potatoes,
and thickened into a mash with meal,
is one of the best fatteners for
turkeys. Give the mash in the morn
ing and the whole corn at night. Do
not confine them. If new corn is
given, the tendency is to have bowel
trouble. For this give boiled milk.
They must be free from lice to fat

 Prince Victor was a great admirer and student Of American institu- lions. Among those who were in contact with him he was known as the best authority in the old world on the American constitution. One of his familiar pastimes was read ing American historical literature.

Prince Mas Student

Prince Victor was a scholar and student who disliked the notOrioty
 that came to him as head of inc
 house of Bonaparte. A man Of quiet tastes. who preferred study 10 the court, and q keen connoisseur of arts. Victor's home in Brussels contained a priceless collection Of
 paintings and other objects of art
 gathered from all over the world.
 He was born in Paris in 1862, grandson of King Jerome Bonaparte and cousin of Emperor Napoleon .TIL He never renounced his claim
 to thc throne of France and in lSS6 like the late Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Guise, he was banished from the land of his birth. Like the Duke of Orleans Victor made his
 home in Belgium.

 CIcmentine, daughter Of the late Leopold II. The story of their clan
 destine courtship, engagement and
 subsequent marriage in Italy fur
 nished more than one theme for
 romance.
 Leopold strenuously objected 10 the friendship of his daughter and the young exile. For years he ab- solutely forbade their engagement
 fearing 1t would have an unfavor- able effect on the relations between
 France and Belgium. For years the
 prince and princess saw each other only rarely and then at brief secret meetings. but their love continued, and for the five years of their en-
 gagement, they exchanged letters

 ID THRONE PASSES
Prince Victor Napoleon Was 64
 Years Of Age

Brussels. May 8 GP-PHnce Vic tor Napoleon, Bonapartist pretender 10 the throne Of France, died here this morning. He was stricken at his. home in Brussels last week. The prince was 64 years of age.
 The exact nature of the illness of the prince has not been made public.
 Heir Is But 12
 With the arrival from Geneva last week of Prince Louis Napoleon at the bedside of his brother, Brussels became alive with rumors as 10 what action the leaders of the Bonapart- death of Prince Victor. While the heir Of the house is Victor's son, Louis. his tender age-he is 12 years old-is thought will preclude his taking an active part in the par leys council. The belief has been generally expressed that the Bona parte family will proclaim a regcn- cy with either Princess Clcmentine, Eictor's widow or Louis Napoleon actually taking the leadership. It is recalled that Prince Louis had long military experience as general in the armies of Russia. He is known as man of great eXecu- tive capacity and is very popular with the French imperialists many of whom have not yet given up the dream of a member of the Bona parte house being recalled 10 the throne of France.
 Still Dream Of Royalty
 Those who declare the Bonapart- is,s may yet reckon with France re- call that shortly before Victor's marriage to Princess Clementine in 1910 there were persistent reports that arrangements had been com pleted for a coup d'etat. So alarm d was the French government at inc time that a general. supposed 10 have imperial leanings, suddenly retired and was replaced by less dangerous" officer.
 It was alleged in The Belgian newspapers at the time that many members of the French senate and chamber of deputies had been en- rolled in Nictor's cause. If was said that Bonapartist propaganda had been distributed in the French army and that a syndicate of bankers had made known their willingness to racll the Bonapartist movement 10 the extent of S5o,ooo,oo0. Victor never personally appeared in the movement and after few months .the talk died down.
 Belgium is expected shortly to have another prctendcr 10 the French throne as q guest, This is the Duke of Guise, who recently sue cecded the late Duke of Orleans as royalist claimant of the throne.

 The 92nd birthday anniversary dinner rendered Chauncey Depcw by th4 Montauk club Of Brooklyn came through well from WIZ. This ven erahle American who has been in ] the public eye almost since time im- memorial made an interesting and 1 witty address, which seemed 10 | keep the audience in good humor, i judging by the laughter which was transmitted. He seemed to have trouble with his throat as he did a l few weeks ago when We heard him, i and his voice was somewhat hoarse. 1 We were unable to hear the entire talk, since someone started to do the family wash at 9:30 o'clock and washing machine set up its gentle 1 purr, hllrring everything and mak- ing reception a total loss. This racket Kept up for about one hour.
 
 Getting back again we hit upon ! WTIC, where the Paais Royal dance orchestra was broadcastng. The music sounded better than usual. There was a fullness Of tone which had not been present before. 1 Horses" played in q rather silly manner, was satisfactory. as was Good Night" From The Palais Royal control was switched to New York where a few minutes Of mu- sic came through from the Pelham Heath Inn. Then control was switched again 10 the Casa Lopez in , New York and We heard Vincent ! Lopez and his orchestra for a while. That certainly was a- great arrange ment. Three orchostras in three widely separated places, all within half hour, without having 10 switch the dials. And Lopez was playing for WTIC only, during the program broadcast from that sta ton, since WEAF kept on with the Pelham Heath orchesltl until ll;45 o'clock.
 We spent tho remainder of our time bringing in stations and get i ting acquainted with old friends. | We noticed the strength Of NRNN, l New York. which offered a series Of mandolin solos.

 Italy. Prior to his official marriage Victor had contracted a morganatic
 marriage in Switzerland in 1899. Of this union three children were born.
 It required months of negotiations 10 obtain the necessary arrange ments with the morganatic wife when Victor became engaged to Clementine, as the morganatic cere- mony was regarded legal in SWitz- crland By his union with Clemen- tine two children were born, Prince
 Louis Jerome Victor now twelve years old and head of the BOnaparte household, and Princess Marie Clo- .jiIta II years old.
 Prince Victor spent many hours each day in study and mastered flu entIy the English. German and ItaI- ian languages. He was a noted en-
 cyclopcdist and had a passion for
 books. During his years of exile he collected one of the most important museums of relics of Napoleon I in existence.
 The prince lived most unassun- ingly. He was his own secretary. When he went abroad he travelled strictly incognito. He did not even have a servant accompany him. Not
 withstanding his dislike of affairs of state Victor was continually in touch

NECESSARY

In last Saturday mornings Chronicle appeared
an editorial, headed Another HOodlum Outrage"
anent the malicious mischievousness of a group Of
BOzeman youths who smeared decayed vegetables
on the seats, steering wheels and windshields of
automobiles parked outside the First Presbyterian
church during a piano recital a few evenings ago.
We take this opportunity unqualifiedly to COM
mend the Chronicles stand in the matter. The
FRANKS of these boys invade the domain of hood
lumism" and their conduct is indeed undefensible.
Prompt and energetic correction of such vandal-
like tendencies is needed, and we trust the city
police authorities will keep working on the case
until some satisfactory result is achieved.
We still believe this most regrettable and in
eXcusable incident is, with Bozeman children, an
exception. In the past it has been observed that
the youngsters of this city are, as a class, we'll
behaved and respectful of the rights of others
That there are some whose nome training has
been neglected, however, is painfully evident
When that lack Of training operates to the de-
triment of the community, the law must apply
the necessary correction.
