Shop Early to Get
Good Baby Chicks
Says D. c. Hilbert
By D. c. Hilbert

First, start with the best-Here
is the test.
None of you poultrymen are go
ing to purchase poor chicks inten-
tionally, but a great deal of the
advice you get on the subject of
getting good chicks goes no fur
Their than to caution you to pur-
chase good chicks.
1t is easy to give that advice.
The problem is, WHAT is A
GOOD CHICK? and WHERE
CAN YOU BUY 1T?
The newly Matched chick is the
result of two factors: CD Inheri-
lance, (2) Environment, before
and during incubation. 1t is quite
obvious that inheritance plays the
more important part, for no mat
ter how well the eggs are taken
care of and how perfect the in
clJbation may be, baby chicks
that have inherited disease pro-
duce few eggs, have poor meat
and will never be profitable.
Emerson once said, "1f you
want to reform man begin
with his grandparents" and the
man who wants to reform a
chick would find himself in the
same predicament. By know
ing the characteristics Of the
grandparents and the parents of
our chicks we can make a very
accurate estimate of their val
ue.
In other parts of The Hilbert
Hatchery News you will see how
we have taken care of these fac
tor, the inherited and the environ
mental.
Now as far as early orders are
concerned, hatchery of our type
needs early orders to run. There
are so many things involved, such
as the two mentioned above. Run
ming such hatchery as ours be-
comes a specialized business and
entails extra expense and labor.
Another point to mention-if you
place your order in advance, we
set especially for you. First here,
first served.

Dear Col. Getz:
ut is with great regret that I
must let you know that we must
withdraw fro mthis area, and every
one feels it deeply.
I'VE are leaving quantity Of
material here-which I hope you will
come and take-and we know it
will be of value to you and your
gallant force.
Our own hope is that we may
return to help you to bring your
campaign to successful con-
clusion."
French General Wished to Stay.
Gen. Audets letter likewise was
politely phrased and at great length
expressed disappointment over the
necessity of leaving Norway. How
ever, he explained that he had re-
ceived orders and had to obey them,
even though he wished to stay.
News Of the allied withdrawal and
the cessation of fighting spread like
magic through the countryside.
Everywhere gaunt, fear-stricken
people appeared from nowhere and
headed back to their deserted homes.
From all directions they converged
on Namsos-by automobile, bicycle,
cart and horseback
The enormous boxes of food
bigger than dry goods boxes-disap-
peared almost as quickly as the peo-
pie had appeared out of hiding.
Homes in Ruins.
After some had their fill they re-
turned to what had been their
homes and poked around the bomb
blackened ruins. But precious few
of them found anything whole.
Despite all this I saw but few
tears among these brave faced peo-
pie. They were only too happy
that peace had come.
When I asked If they were not
alarmed that the allies had left they
replied:
That makes no difference. What
we want is peace!"
I was told that early Friday morn
ing as the last of the British trans
ports were pulling out the ship

Norway Is Warned
Aqoinst Alliance

OSLO, Norway, March IA (P.-The
liberal newspaper Dagbladet warned
Norway today not to enter into nego-
tiations for defensive alliance with
Finland and Sweden.
Norway's foreign minister, Halv-
dan Koht, said this country already
had agreed to consider the posi-
bility" of such an alliance.
The newspaper pointed out that
the third clause of the Finnish Rus
sian peace treaty forbade Finland
to enter an alliance against the
Soviet Union, "and this excludes any
defense pact"
It said that if Norway had declared
its willingness to discuss such pos
sibilities. I'VE must assume that
answer was given before the peace
conditions were made known.
IF the cabinet should propose a
pact, the Storting Parliament) must
reject it at any COST"
The Dagbladet previously had
urged active Norwegian Intervention
to help Finland fight Russia.
Neutral observers agreed that a
defense pact would be welcomed in
many sections of Norwegian and
Swedish public opinion. due to the
deep feeling that Finland suffered
unduly both in war and the new
peace, but the non aggression article
In the Russian treaty was regarded
as a possible stumbling block
The question was raised in some
quarters whether Norway and Swe-
den, possibly convinced that the
Soviet Union was in no position to
continue q fight, might negotiate
IN alliance in defiance Of the Rus
sian peace conditions.
It was assumed, however, that
Russia could hardly fail to regard q
Finnish alliance as directed at her.
