at the animal children who were
crowding around Baby Bunty.
What turtle?" asked Skipper, 4
little boy bunny.
The jolly old mud turtle gentle
man 1 caught in my net when I first
fished," said Mr.. Longears This
is how it happened he went on.
Il came here to catch some gold
fish for your mother and Nurse
Jane to put in a glass jar aquarium
in the bungalow to keep for pets.
But first caught in my net a tur-
tie. He told me 1 must get pail
to put the goldfish in to carry
home. as they can't live very long
out of water. When l came back
with the pail I found my fish net
gone and the turtle wasn't where
l had left him
1--WE took your fish net, Unkie
Wig" said Baby Bunty who was
quickly drying in the June sun
shine. I'VE thought we might
catch some fish over here But first
we splashed stones in the water and
I tossed in a big one and I slipped
and splashed in the pond myself -
And then you fished her out, >

turtle, Daddicums.

Then 1 guess he must have

Uncle Wiggily
Oh, no, 1 didn't!' suddenly

Where have you been?" asked
Mr.. Longears.
After you went TO get the pail,

"Oh, that's too bad~ interrupted
Baby Bunty. Poor Mr.. Turtle

s.. JUVENILE TRAGEDY

Child psychologists will have plenty to
study in the tragedy reported from York
Pennsylvania, yesterday, wherein a
youngster of six killed his brother of
seven, during a quarrel over a handful
| of crackers.
The infant slayer climbed from bed
where the quarrel was staged, took
shotgun from a closet and fired it, then
returned the gun to its place. Another
brother, aged nine, witnessed the trag-
edy.
1t is easy to understand the rage that
must have possessed the child, but lift
ing, aiming and firing a shotgun is a
pretty heavy job for a youngSter of six.
And something other than mere child
ish rage must explain the trip to the ad-
joining room for the gun and returning
it to its proper place.
There is nothing that can be done to
the youngster, and it is pity that moth
ing can be done to the parents. Anyone
charged with the responsibility of three
boys, from six to nine years old, who
would leave loaded gun around where
they could get it, should be punished
but unfortunately our foolish laws don't
look at it that way.
We may as we'll get set for another
mess on this Richfield inquiry.

TOO SENTIMENTAL
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

We like Governor Rolph. We consider
him courteous, affable and kindly gen.
tleman, and it might be a much better
world If more of us had many of his
qualities.
But he Is almost too sentimental to be
the executive of a great state, especially
when he permits his sentimentality to in
terfere with the ordinary course of af-
fairs
The governors latest idiosyncrasy is to
reprieve two killers condemned to die on
the galloWs, because the dates set for
their execution are dates that he holds
sacred
One killer gets a few more days to
live because the date set for his execution
happens to be the governors wedding
anniversary. The other is to be re-
prieved because his execution date is the
anniversary of the death of the COVER
nor's mother.
None but will admire the governor for
not wishing to have these days marred
but every day in the year is marred for
many people and they can do nothing
about it.
If the judges of the states courts have
to call up the governor each time they
sentence man, to find out if the date
set is agreeable to him, there will be no
executions in California, for the COVER
nor can doubtless dig up other memoir
les that would make his day marred.
One who is governor cannot expect all
his days to be roses, and even roses have
thorns. One of the thorns in being gov
ernor is this capital punishment busi-
ness. To a man of the governors SYM
pathetic nature it must be doubly odious.
But the governor didn't make the law,
nor try the slayers, nor condemn them.
The people did that and the governor
should recognize the fact that his will
should be subject to the will of the peo-
pie.
In other words, we do not think the
governor should permit purely personal
feelings to interfere with his duties as
governor.

[Continued from Fira Paae1


very troublesome disease in many
of the fiocks throughout this cOun-
try. In presenting the facts con-
cerning this disease, II. R. Baker,
poultry pathologist of the State
Board of Agriculture, states that
since there is no medical treatment
yet found which will cure this trou-
BILE, treatment and prevention de-
pend upon proper sanitary and diet
measures, and the application of
those methods which will break up
the life cycle of the coccidiOsis or
ganism.
AS preventive measures against
the spread of this disease it is rec
commended that the drOppings be
cleaned up at least every other day
from around the brooder stoves, and
the yard around the broOder house
continually cultivated and lined, in
addition to the placing of disinfec-
tant in the drinking water. Not more
than $50 to 40G chicks should be
placed in one group, and the chicks
should be fed a good nutritious diet
in order to build up a stronger re-
sistance to this disease. The litter
on the brOOder house floor should be
kept dry, as the organisms of. coc-
cidiOsis cannot develop into the in
fective stage if no moisture is pres
ent, and each house should also
have plenty of ventilation at all
times.

SPINACH IS AN
IMPORTANT CROP
Top Icing Found Success
full In Preserving Greens
On Long Haul.

Shipments of spinach from the
Norfolk district have started to
move over the Del-Mar-Va Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
considerable volume, which should
increase to from SO to 60 carloads a
day. Growers of this commodity in
Texas have been shipping about 40
carloads a day to the northern mar
kets, but the Virginia crop is now
supplying the consumers.
There are about 1000 acres of this
green planted in the Norfolk terri
tory, which should bring about a
million dollars in revenue to the
growers.
Owing to spinach being of high
ly perishable nature, it is necessary
that the leading and icing be hand
led very carefully, so that this com
modify will reach the markets in
good condition. AS the baskets of
this green are being loaded into the
cars, layer of crushed ice is placed
on top of the green under the bas-
ket lid. These baskets are carefully
slowed in the cars and temporary
racks fastened in place over the
commodity so that the crushed ice
placed there will melt and drip
down on the spinach. Such a method
of refrigeration is known as top ic-
ing, and it has been found success
ful in preserving greens for the
long haul from the southern grow
ers to the northern cities.
After the loading and icing, these
cars of spinach are rushed to the
New York markets ON "The Cat
Bird" one of the fast preference
freight trains running between Nor
'olk and New York, which gives the
shipper second morning delivery at
New York.

no action was taken, however. The
Legislature made an appropriation
of $3,000,000 to complete the school
building plans in the State and made
this amount available at once. There

POI 900 school children OF Porto
Rico are without sufficient food and
some are starving. Porto Rico, suf-

lowed by a drought, looks with hope
to the stars and stripes that float
over them. Surely their American
brothers and sisters will be friends
in time of need. Many Church
Schools and public schools are al
ready preparing to give help.
AS result of an urgent call from
the Committee on World Friendship
Among Children, sponsored by the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, Prof. James IL.
Bishop, Director of Religious Edu-
cation for the Methodist Episcopal
Churches of the Wilmington Confer
ence, announces that all the church
schools of the Conference are urged
to adopt the Treasure Chest plan by
means of which funds to provide
food and other suitable friendship
gifts can be sent to the children of
Porto Rico.
Chests must be ready for ship
ments to Porto Rico by the end of
May in order to relieve the serious
situation there. Literature giving the
details of the plan is being secured
from the Committee in New York
and will be distributed among the
church schools of the Conference.
Groups desiring to render a real
service of patriotic, Christian
friendship can secure further infor-
nation by communicating with Prof.
Bishop at Dover, Delaware.

GIVE SPRING
PIGS GOOD START
By John NJ. Evvard


In building the superior ration for
swine in the heart of swine-produc-
ing America, the basal farm grown
feeds provide the bulk of the ration,
and there are none superior to good
old yellow corn, fed shelled or ON
the cob, with ground wheat and
ground barley close competitors,
from the standpoint of efficiency.
But all of the basic carbohydrates
or starchy feeds are low in proteins,
minerals and vitamins, hence they
in themselves are insufficient for
providing the kind and amount of
nntritive elements that the pOrkers
must have To prosper and make
money. This means that the basic
farm grain, whether corn, wheat,
Barley, rye, or dry land sorghums,
or a combination. Of these, must be
literally fortified with a high-pro-
tein, high-vitamin, high-mineral
supplement which is well COM
pounded, rightly blended, and prop
erly mixed.
Such supplemental feed rounds
out the farm grain from the nutri
tive standpoint, making it more eff
ficient so that the pigs may grow
more on a lesser number of pounds
of feed per 100 pounds of gain. Such
a supplement puts profitable pep in
to the ration because it provides
those essential ingredients of animal
which the pigs must abso-
lutely have in order that they may
make the most of" the farm grown
grains; healthier pigs and greater
profits logically follow.
1t is mighty wise to allow the
pigs to have free access to good pas
lures during the grazing season.
Whether the pigs are grown and
on pasture or in dry lot,
It is eminently good practice to full
iced both the basic farm feed and
he supplement in separate self |
'eeders; so that the pigs may joy
,usly balance their own "ations to i
heir hearts content as we'll as pro-
'ide proft-making joys for the man
Who owns them.
