DREAD DISEASE
POULTRYMAN'S
BIG PROBLEM

This dread disease, so common TO
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, ana
Guinea fowls is a serious economic
problem to the poultryman as 1t ex-
acts a heavy toll from his flocks, at
times ranging as high as 80 to 100
per cent mortality.
It is particularly prevalent during
the warm damp days of spring and
early summer. It is then that espec-
ial care should be given to control the
disease as the conditions for It's
spread are most favorable at this
time.
In the past, attempts have been
made to control, cure, and prevent the
disease by various measures and all
kinds of remedies and quack nostrums
have been offered the poultryman'
The Extension Service of the Texas
A. G. M. College has found that Coo
cidiosis can be prevented through the
feeding of per cent commercial
flour sulphur.
They recommend that 5 per cent OF
the commercial flour sulphur be IN
cluded in the mash from the time the
chicks are two weeks old until they
are placed in the laying house at five
to six months of age. However, it is
imperative that this sulphur feeding
should not begin until after the chicks
are two weeks old. Also, sulphur
should not be used unless the chicks
have access to direct sunlight.
Many poultrymen already have
chicks up to 6 and 8 weeks of age, and
sulphur can be included in the rations
for these chicks with satisfactory re-
suits. It should be remembered that
in the prevention of coccidiosis with
sulphur, the same sanitary measures
should be carried out as are usually
recommended, including the proper
cleaning of houses at designated
times.

the greater part of his life until Sep
TENDER 1, 1918, he moved his home
to Chincoteague. He has been active
in church, community and fraternal
circles ever since he moved to Chinco-
league. During the six terms he has
served as Mayor of Chincoteague, he
has seen much progressive work done
there. Among the projects are the
town waterworks in 1927, new fire
house built, Chincoteague road and
bridges taken over by the state, most
of principal side streets paved by
town, miles of concrete sidewalks
laid and installation of storm drains
on most of the principal streets.

Montreal Telephone service is
now available to Newfoundland, the
service having been opened recently
with appropriate ceremony at Mon
treal, Canada, by conversations between
the Governor General Of Canada and
the Governor of Newfoundland. New
foundland has thus become the
seventy-eighth country or territory to
which Bell System subscribers may be
connected. The circuit will be main
tanned by the Bell Telephone Company
Of Canada, the Avalon Telephone Com
pany Of Newfoundland and the Can
adian Marconi Company. Calls be-
tween Newfoundland, Canada, and all
world points will be routed through
Montreal.
Copenhagen The Jutland Tele-
phone Company will install the first
dial telephone exchange in Denmark.
The cost Of the project will be 81 ,407,-
900. The work is to commence in the
spring of 1889 and it will take three
years to complete the project.
New York Nowhere else in the
world are public telephones or pay sta
tions as widely used as in the United
States. New York state itself has
about $4,000 public telephones, more
than a sixth Of the nearly 100000 in
the nationwide Bell System. In the
G. and P. area there are about II 900,
5000 Of which are in Washington,
$500 in Maryland, 2,450 in Virginia
and $50 in West Virginia. The
number of public telephones in this
country is greater than the number Of
all kinds Of telephones in the whole Of
Italy, or in the entire continent Of
Australia.
Stockholm A rapid advance in
the number of telephone subscribers
during the last three years has been
reported in Sweden. During this
period approximately 100000 new tele-
phones have been installed, represent
ing an increase of 25 per cent since
the end of 1885. There are now in
operation about 100000 telephones,
or roughly 1875 per 1000 inhabitants,
against 118 per 1000 inhabitants at
the end Of 1897. The major portion
Of the increase is represented by SUBJ
scriptions from private individuals,
such as farmers, workmen, small bust
ness men, etc., rather than by large
enterprises.
Baltimore :. A telephone call from
an unidentified neighbor saved the
home Of Eli ]. Hackerman, Baltimore,
Nd, from destruction by fire, accord
ing to the Baltimore Evening Sun.
Firemen were able to confine the blaze
to one room.
Hearing the telephone bell ring,
Hackerman picked up the receiver and
heard a voice say "This is a neighbor.
Your house is on fire. Shall I call the
fire Department." Hackerman waited
at the telephone long enough to tell
his neighbor to summon firemen and
then dashed upstairs to arouse his
wife and son.

Questioned in Secret Last Monday -Wife's Arrest
 Is Not True

London, Jan. 12 = CU.P.) - The Daily Herald reported today that Max Schmeling, former heavyweight boxing champion, is in trouble with the Nazi authorities.
 The paper said that on Monday Schmeling visited the propaganda ministry in Berlin, where he was questioned at length. Then he left with Nazi official, the Herald con- tinued, and visited several other offices of the Nazi party, at each of which he was believed to have been questioned.
 The paper quoted the Oslo (Nor- way) Aftenposten as saying that on Wednesday night Schmeling's film star wife, Amy Ondra, was arrest ed for an alleged breach of Ger man currency regulations but that inquiries in Berlin, however, showed the story to be untrue.

 State Passed Today

New London, Conn, Jan. 11-(VP) Theodore Bodenwein, publisher of the New London Day and former Republican secretary of state, died today at Lawrence & Memorial As- sociated hospitals after an illness of several months. He would have ob- served his 18th birthday anniver- sary Jan. 25.
 Bodenwein's illness took a critical turn in the last two months. Death came today shortly after a. m., following relapse he suffered late yesterday. During the Republican rule of J. Henry Roraback, Boden- vein was one of the most influntial party leaders, and was consulted steadily on New London county mat ters. Several times in his career, the publisher was mentioned for high state political office.

RELIEF BILL TO
 MAKE MANY IDLE
Cut Sl5O, 100000 By Re- port of COnlmittee-Will Vote on Bill Friday
BY JOHN K. REAL

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Jan. 12.-(UP)-The full house appropriations commir- tee demanded today that relief rolls be 'purged of malingerers" and recommended formally that the House grant President Roosevelt only $725, ,000, 900 instead of the $875.- 100000 that he requested for the Works Progress Administration.
 The charge of WPA malingerinp was made by the Democratic r1a- jority of the committee. The Re publican minority, concurrensly submitted a report charging scan dal after scandal" in political aouse of the WPA.
 With those statements the bill tc finance WPA until June 30 was pitched into the House, where de. bate began at once.
 First Major Conflict
 The trimming of President Roose- velt's recommendations by $150,000,- 900 precipitated the first sinajol conflict of the 76th congress- fight between conservative Democrats and Republicans and the President. The result will be determined by a roll call vote probably tomorrow-thai will put every member on record.
 The Republican committee min- ority, in charging politcial scandals in relief administration, cautioned against making relief clients pay the penalty for such activities.

European Diplomats In Conference Are Silent Mussolin Does Not Appear to Have Gained His Desires Up to Present = Chamberlain Sharp
 in Banquet Reply
BY WEBB MILLER Copyright, 1889, by United Press)


 Rome, Jan. 12-(UP)-Count Ga leazzo Ciano, Italian foreign min ister, said to me early this morning as we talked at the brilliant recep- ton which Premier Benito Musso- lini gave for Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain:
 "Everything went well at our first conversation and am optimistic regarding the result of our talks which will be resumed this after noon. Other than that I can say othing yet. 2.sss-~rps.--=~vv1STs s7-z.--e.- Gland, the son-in-la whom Mus solini is grooming as his successor appeared confident and unworried Mussolini seemed preoccupied and somewhat ill at ease. Whether that was due to his well known dis taste for such social functions and for late hours, or because the open ing conversations with the British leader had not gone to his liking, remained a question.
 No Positive Results
 The fact that another meeting for this afternoon, not previously scheduled, was decided upon at the termination of the first talk in dicated that no positive results had been achieved thus far.
 Seldom at any of a dozen Inter- national conferences I have attend ed in the last 20 years have the principals kept so close mouthed regarding their conversations. The usual mouth pieces and sources of information which normally would know what was going on, admitted frankly that they had no inkling of the course the conversations had taken or even the subjects touched on. Thus there was considerable guess work as to what went on.
 The silence of both parties would seem to indicate that neither had yet anything to crow about.
 British "No" On Spain
 Judging by the attitude of the British delegates upon their arrival, if Mussolini had suggested or yet suggests what he is known to want -the recognition of the Spanish Nationalists as belligerents - the answer is, firmly and unequivocal- ly, that Britain refuses to grant belligerent rights until Italy has completely withdrawn its aid to the insurgents.
 Italian opinion seems to be equal- ly firm, that MusSolini must be

 canism-No Communist

| Washington, Jan. I2.-UP).- Prof. Felix Frankfurter, supreme court nominee, today expressed his full devotion to the principles and practices of Amercianism and his firm belief in the Constitution of the United States.
 Immediately after hearing the 56- year-old Harvard professors expo sition of his principles and beliefs, Chairman M. M. Nicely, D., w Va, of the judiciary subcommittee or dered the hearings on the nomina- tion closed and called an immediate committee session to vote on nom- ination.
 Frankfurter's statement was made at the close of a brief examination by senators held in the marble cau- GUS room of the senate office build- ing before large crowd If specta- tors.
 Brief Statement
 The examination wes preceded by brief statement by Franfurter in which he said he believed the rec ords of supreme court nominees should be closely scrutinized.
 Frankfurter's appearance followed two days of public hearings at hich a group of witnesses opposed con- f1rmation of Frankfurter on various ground including his membership. in the American Civil Liberties Union.
 The nominees exposition of his beliefs was evoked by a series of questions asked by Senator Pat Mo- Carren, D., Nevada.
 McCarren asked if Frankfurter be- heved in the doctrine of Marxism. v
 Frankfurter snapped:
 T don't believe you are any more attached to the theory of American ism than I am." .........
 Spectators Applaude
 Spectators applauded the state ment for two minutes. :.
 T do not believe" Frankfurter said to McCarren, that YOU have ever taken the oath to support the Constitution of, the United States with less reservation than I hay or would now, nor do I believe you are more attached, to the theories and practices of Americanism than am."
 Senator William E. Borah, R., Idaho, asked:
 Do you mean to include the fsh
