NEW YORK, November 1l.-After
nnulling about hstlessly during most OF
today's brief session, stocks rallied
moderately in the final half hour. Gains
of fractions to around 2 points predom-
mated at the close. Caution was the
watchword of most traders, however,
and Transactions were accounted for
largely by professionals. Transfers ap-
proximated $50, 600 shares.
With the grain markets closed Tor
Armistice day, equities had little in
gpiration aside from an advance OF IL
cents an ounce in the domestic gold
price to $33.32. London also lifted its
gold rate about as much. The dollar
gyrated erratically Sterling, after los
ing some cents in early dealings, can
celed virtually all of the decline.
French francs also sagged and recov-
cred, Bonds were somewhat irregular,
although the Federal list displayed
rsllying tendencies.
24Lf Smelling Shares Rise.
Shares Of United States Smelling got
up more than 3 points and gains OF
around were held by Western Union,

phone and National Distillers. Others

While Wall Street apparently was

devaluation terms, some observers voiced
the sopfnion that equities viii be less in
clined to discount forward developments
than they did last Spring. Unless
drastic monetary imitation seems as
sHred, it was said, stock and commodity
markets may show more of an inclina-
tion to reflect business improvement,
gains in earnings, dividend assumptions
and other favorable influences as they
occur.
Trade Indices Down.
Industrial analysts were none too
cheerful over recent major business in

CHESTER, IL, Dec. 22.-Three
men convicted Of murder-one sing
ing a hymn, another protesting his
innocence and the third speeches.
from fTlyht-Were put to death in
the electric chair at state prison
here today.
Six shocks, reaching maximum
of 1900 volts, were necessary to kill
Harry Shelby, first Of the trio to be
put to death He was pronounced
dead at 1871 a. m. John Allen, 10,
Shelby's nephew, was electrocuted at
1874 a. m, and Martin Gray, Ne
gro, was pronounced dead at 1851
a. m.
Shelby and Allen were convicted
of the torture-murder Of Mrs. Mary
Schrader, 94-year-old widow. She
was tortured for five hours and
finally killed when she refused to
reveal the hiding place Of money
the men believed she had hidden
in her farm nome.
Negroes Fright Evident
Gray was found guilty Of kill
ing Negro woman, Mrs. Susie
Gregory. during a quarrel over
money. He sat down in the electric
chair, his eyes wide and staring from
evident fright. He mumbled few
words which no one understood.
The three men were marched
from their cells in death row past
brightly decorated Christmas tree
which other prisoners had prepared
for observance Of the Yuletide.
Shelby looked longingly at it for a
moment and then marched on.
Strapped in the chair Shelby
was asked if he had anything to say.
Il want to sing a song" he told
Warden Joe Regain. The warden
suggested there hardly was time for
that. The execution was delayed
several minutes while Shelby plead
ed for time to sing. His wish finally
was granted.
Several Spectators Weep
The tense stiffness suddenly broke
as Shelby lifted his full baritone
voice in a song, the refrain of which
was I'll Bid You All Farewell"
The nerves of 200 spectators were
taut and several were weeping as
the condemned man finished and
turned to the warden.
"All right, let 'er CO." he said.
Shelby had boosted during his
trial that he had killed six persons,
one for each time he had been
placed in solitary confinement dur
ing a previous prison term. His
story was discounted by authorities
and he never named the supposed
victims.
Allen walked to the chair, stood
for a moment looking at those about
him. Before God, I'm innocent"
he said earnestly. You're killing an
innocent man.

Polish Fowls Are Good
for Show and Utility

Leading in number of varieties Of
Continental European poultry are
the Polish fowls-White Crested
Black, Silver, White. Buff-Laced,
Non-Bearded Golden, Silver and
White and Bearded Golden. Except
for the lack of ''beard" or ''whis-
kers" represented by feathers on
the throat. the non-bearded are the
same as the bearded in all other
standard requirements.
All the Polish varieties have an
unusual appeal to the chicken fan
cier and a backyard farmer may be
attracted first to such fowls by their
unusual plumage, although they
really have utility value.
There is considerable doubt about
the origin of the Polish fowl. al
though it probably originated in Po-
land. Dutch poultry fanciers in the
Eighteenth century were instru-
mental in perfecting the crest. In
type, the Polish is much like the
Leghorn. 1t was formerly very com
mon in the United States, but with
the increase in the popularity Of the
Leghorn, interest in the Polish
waned, although it still holds a
place as an ornamental fowl.-Los
Angeles Times.

Farm Woodlots Return
Millions to the Owners

New York state farm woOdlots
are second only to Wisconsin and
lead North Carolina and Tennessee,
according to a recent summary Of
the 1880 census. The 3,634,0O
acres of farm wOodlOts in New
York returned $16,269,000 and Wis
consin's 5,7O5.00O acres returned
S16,925,OOO. Wisconsin has nearly
100000 more acres of farm land
than New York.
The principal product from the
New York farm woodlands. accord

lege of agriculture, is fuelwoOd,
followed in order by: sawlOgs,
fence posts, poles and piling, rail
road ties, and pulpwood. Most Of
the states pulpwood Is cut from

The typical New York state wood
lot contains % acres and is one
fifth of the total acreage Of the
farm. The state has nearly 1S,000,-
600 acres in it's 100000 farms. The
value of woodlOt products was in
cluded for the first time in the 1890
census, and for the whole United

Feed Wheat by Hand

Feeding of corn and oats and lay
ing mash in hoppers and handfeed-
ing wheat at the rate of four to six
pounds per hundred hens daily, is
new method of feeding that prom
ises to be practical for corn-belt
farms, states Paul G. Riley, Indiana
poultryman. The wheat is higher
in price than other grains, and when
hOpper-fed is likely to be used in
too heavy proportions to other
grains. An added advantage in
hand-feedlng is that the hens will
keep the litter stirred up, whereas
it is likely to be packed down
in houses where hopper-feeding
is practiced exclusively.-Prairie

Lice on Poultry

Lice do not feed on blood like red
mites, but eat dried skin or bits Of
feathers, writes a correspondent in
the Indiana Farmers Guide. They
may eat blood from small skin
wounds but do not suck the blood
like red mites. The lice are con-
stantly crawling over the skin both
day and night. and cause much dis
comfort to the hens. Hens are
nervous, sensitive birds. and prob
ably suffer more from lice than is
commonly realized.

Tree Bands Kill Worms

Chemically treated bands may
kill as many as a thousand cOdling
moth worms to the tree each sea
son. When they leave the fruit
until the end of the season. codling
moths seek the nearest dark, pro-
tected place for spinning their
cocoons. Loose bark on the trunk
and branches, or debris on the
ground, normally provide suitable
quarters. If the trees have been
scraped and the orchard thoroughly
cleaned up, however, bands around
the trunk of the tree will attract
so per cent or more of the worms.
A chemically treated band auto
matically kills practically all the
worms that spin their cocoOns in
contact with it.
