HWeStwood L. Williams, secretary,
,pf the newly organized company.
Their first building operations
were carried on in Marietta Park,
they being the first to recognize
the possibilities of this popular
subdivision as a home community.
In this section of Washington
this progressive firm have built
and sold hundreds of homes, and
gradually branched out into other
sections until their annual sales
total more than a million dollars
per year. This growth has been
accomplished by keeping abreast
OF the times in the design and
construction of moderate priced
homes and in the fair treatment
and straightforward dealing with
the public, which has been the
undertaking principal of this firm
since it was first organized.
New Sales Director
Under the dictatorship of M. j.
Waple, the firm has built up a
sales force of 10 statesmen, which
has proved to be one of the most
successful real estate sales organ
1Zations in the city. In order to
devote his time to other details
Of the firms growing business, Mr..
Waple has selected j. r. Hender-
son to succeed him as sales direc-
tor. Henderson, who entered
the real estate business in 1920
as a salesman with the firm of
Shannon and Luchs, is widely and
favorably known throughout Wash
ington real estate circles. After
leaving the employ of Francis A.
Blundon and Company, where he
was a new house salesman, he was
associated with A. H. Parker for
several years. selling new homes
for a number of prominent build
PerS.
Represent Builders
In conjunction with their build
Ing and sales activities, the firm
of Waple and James, Inc, have
built up a large rental business.
This phase of the firms activities
is under the management of w. L.
Williams, the secretary of the
company.
Besides their own building oper-
atoms, Waple and James, Inc, also
act as sales representatives for
Eeveral other well-known Washing
ton builders, among which are H.
ia. Thrift, Marshall and Gruver
and j. S. GruVer.
Many new operations are being
placed on the market by this COM
pany this spring, and they are
docking forward to another year
of successful results because of the
many new features offered in the
homes which they are completing,
and the new low prices and terms
they are offering.

Laying Time for Pullets

Ii has been found that pullets
from the same hatch. the same
breeders and raised under the same
methods during the growing period
viii vary as much as several weeks
in the time they start laying. In
any flock, other things being equal,
the early starters are the best win
ter layers, the most intensive spring
producers and the most persistent
layers into the following summer
fan period. Most of the breeding
stock of the following year will be
found among the early starters.
Mark the precOcious pullets in order
10 identify them from the late begin
ners next year when the pullet lay
ing year draws TO a close and the
question of keeping breeding stock
comes up. To do this involves keep
ing the dates of each hatch. The
simplest means of Identification is
a different toe punch for each hatch
of chicks. although many poultry
men prefer to wing-band chicks

Sanitation Urged for
Checking New Disease

Strict sanitation is the only hope
for checking the new poultry dis
ease. leucosiS or leucemia, which is
spreading as threat to the S37, ,000,-
coo worth of poultry raised on Illi-
nois farms. according 10 the animal
pathology and hygiene division at
the college of agriculture, Univer-
sity of Illinois.
No specific treatment for the dis
ease is known at this time. Control
of IL must be attempted through gen.
eral sanitary measures. together with
the diSinfection of premises before
new stock is introduced. 1t also is
advisable To avoid breeding from in
fected flocks.
Leucemia is a fatal disease man
ifested by blood changes. AL
though IL has not been definitely
proved that it is carried through the
egg, the evidence indicates that this
is the source of the disease on many
farms.
Symptoms may be manifested in
fowls four to six months of age. and
the disease may continue In chronic
form TO cause heavy losses. In ma
ture fowls the disease is marked by
low egg production, unthriftiness,
blindness. large livers and paralysis.
If suspicious symptoms of the dis
ease appear. flock owners are ad-
vised 10 take typically affected
fowls to the local veterinarian for
autopsy and diagnosis.

DEVELOPS POULTRY
WHICH CANNOT FLY
Penguin Variety Gets Away
From Fence Problem.

Penguin" poultry, which cannot
fly over two-foot fence, may end
for all time the quarrels that so
often arise between people who
keep chickens and their gardening
neighbors. This happy possibility
is due TO the discovery of an inner
tied character In poultry called
"self-clipping."
Or. u. c. Warren OF the Kansas
agricultural experiment station, who
has studied the inheritance of this
character, finds that the flight feath-
ers Of the wings are defective and
break off as they grow. so that the
wing remains permanently clipped" !"
This condition is inherited accord
ing 10 the so-called Mendelian laws
as a dominant character By mat
ing "hightleSs" birds with normal
fowls and selecting those which pro-
duce only flightless offspring. IL Is a
rather easy matter to transfer this
character 20 any of the standard
breeds of poultry.
While poultry breeders who intro
duce this characteristic into their
flocks will not need high fences.
they may have to rearrange their
chickens sleeping quarters, for
many hen roosts would be altogether
out of range of penguin poultry.
\ few months ago a somewhat
similar mutation in the guinea fowl
was reported. In this. while the end
result was the same, it was arrived
al by nature in n different way. The
flight feathers do not develop at all
in the "Kiwi" guinea, and the char
acter is inherited as a recessive
character rather than a dominant.

Feed Turkey Hens

II turkey hens are to hatch well
the hens should be fed a good ra-
tion. Too frequently the turkey hen
is considered able to gather her own
food, as wild birds do. and heavy
egg production cannot be had in this
way. The turkeys should be fed a
grain ration and a mash feed con-
tanning animal protein. In addition
they should have grit and an ample
supply of fresh water. Green al.
falfa leaves will make a good green
feed TO give early in the season.

Breeding From Pullets

Although breeding from pullets Is
not generally recommended fire.
Quently very good chicks may be
obtained from them. On an aver
age old hens will probably give
thriftier chicks, but pullets which
have not been greatly forced for
egg production should give salts
factory results. If pullets are used
only the best matured ones having
good-sized eggs should be selected.

members of Boy Scout troop IA at

of the Presbyterian church May 10.
His address follows:
"My Dear Young Friends:
81 want to thank you and your Of
fcers for rendering to me an invita-
ton to speak few words to you this
evening. I have not come to deliver
formal speech. You will hear
plenty of them before school closes.
l have rather come to speak a few
words Of encouragement to you and
to impress upon you the necessity of
living up to the ideals of your great
organization; of bringing with you
wherever you go these same ideals;
of making them a counter part of
your life and real foundation for
future achievement.
young America is composed of
every class Of people, different ma

throughout the whole group; but they
all come under the general or COM

''To be an American citizen, we must
be broad minded and prepared at all
times to respect the feelings and
opinions of others, be they religious,
political or otherwise, failing in this
respect we may justly be termed and
recognized in the land of our birth or
adoption, as foreigners and not
worthy of the blessings and privi-
leges of an American citizen.

characteristics of the real lovable

upon which life and future achieve

rest on a sand foundation, due either
to their innate weakness, parental in
