of pure water, and plenty of people

Such hens are preparing for long
rest period with no more eggs un-
til fall. To feed them until that
time is to place very heavy mort
gage on the small production Of
such hens next winter.
Hens that are through, or near
ly through laying, may be detected
by the following signs, even with
out handling them: Shrivelled, dry,
pale combs, yellow beaks and a
yellowish tinge about the face, and
any signs of mott. Such hens may
be picked up from the floor by
means of hook, thus avoiding the

Richard Dix in Strong Role


The same qualifications which
made Richard Dix's portrayal of
"Yancey Cravat" memorable in the
epochal "Cimarron," carry him to
equally great heights in Radio Pic
lures dramatic Young Donovan's
Kid" at the Oxford Theatre, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
His performance in the latter
triumph again proves a Hollywood
canon, which reads, eff it's a Mans
character, Dix should play it."
AS "Jim Donovan" gang leader
in this adoption of Rex Beach's
Zig Brother" Dix gives an inspir-
ed performance. Just as the per
sonality of the star was made to
order for "Yancey Cravat," so the
character of Donovan must nave
been drawn from the stars own
rugged character, so perfectly does
he fit into the part of this man Of
gangland.
Dix, in Donovan's guise, is "a
hardboiled customer who thinks it
takes more courage to be bad than
good, that gentlemen are "softies,"
and that to love is to be sissified.
He portrays a pugnacious battler
who prefers but one gun, that the
other brawny arm and steely fist
be available for seeking.
When two great loves, one for
a leathery-tough bowery waif, the
other a beautiful girl, reveal to
Donovan that shooting square"
rather than accurately, is the
proper highway to happiness; and
when the law, excusably but errone-
ously bends it's might to squashing
his hopes, his love and his efforts

mendous power he displayed in

600 Junior Legion Ball Teams
Formed

Approximately 600 Junior Amer
lean Legion baseball teams
throughout Minnesota had enrolled
nearly 10000 boys by June Is, 1881,
according to reports reaching c. A.
(Chic) Zwiener, department athle-
tic officer and state adjutant with
offices at 306 Old Capital, st. Paul.
Every year sees an increase in
the number Of teams and total of
boys playing the national game
under Legion supervision, said
Director Zwiener last week in
message to Minnesota Legion posts
emphasizing the fact that to enter
the district and the state tourna-
ment, Junior Legion baseball
teams must be registered by June
80.
This is necessary, Mr.. Zwiener
explained, because the ten districts
champions must be chosen by July
20 so that they may compete in the
state tournament at Saltwater the
week of July 26. So be sure to re-
gister your local teams with your
district athletic officer by June 80.

GASOLINE TAXES INCREASE

Taxes on in-shipments of gasoline
in May, 1881, after deducing re-
funds, amounted to $1,O92, 4O5, an
increase of S213,135 over May last
year. Gasoline taxes for the first
five months of 1881 amount to $4,-
O92,952, compared to $3,672,44 for
the same months in 1880.
Both the trunk highway fund and
the county road funds will gain
by the increase, as one-third of the
gas tax goes to the counties and
two-thirds to the trunk highway
fund. The latter, however, is suf-
fering loss of revenue through a
drop in motor vehicle registration.
Up to June 1, 1881, $1O,196,O76 had
been paid in taxes on 692 1852 We
hicles, while at the same date in
1880, the tax on 697,541 vehicles to-
tailed $1O,396,2 O9.

No Fruit On Trees? Spray Them
ANYWAY

Whether they bear or not, fruit
trees should be sprayed this year
to protect the foliage from insects
and diseases, according to w. H.
Alderman, chief in horticulture at
University Farm. This is necessary
to insure having the trees in pro-
per condition for next years pro-
duction.
Mr.. Alderman's statement is
prompted by indications that
some varieties of plums and GER
tain orchards located on low
ground have suffered from frost.
In such cases, orchardists may be
inclined to regard spraying as UNI
necessary for the balance of the
season.
On the contrary, Mr.. Alderman
points out, healthy foliage is esent-
ial for the development of fruit
buds which produce the next years
crop, as the leaves manufacture
the plant food material which is
transferred back to the wood and
stored there. He advises at least
three sprays distributed through
out the season.
