SEES BETTER CONDITIONS.
Governor Harding Minimizes Danger
. of Collapse.
New York, Feb. 6?Discussing
credit expansions arising from the
participation of the United States in
the war, W. P. G. Harding, Governor
of the Federal Reserve Board, in an
address before the Lawyers Club here
today, minimised the danger of a
business collapse or financial crisis.
"I qnv thU In ?11
Harding asserted. "We are now looking
forward to a. year of constructive
development. I want to say that intrinsically
there is no comparison today
with conditions a year ago, when
( *'^L there was uneasiness and apprehen\
* sion among the best informed over
I ' the badly expanded credit. Business
is now rapidly reaching a new level
and approaching a sound and sane
basis. We have a better banking situation.
We have passed the danger
point. We have a better understanding
of conditions."
THE BANKER'S NEW JOB.
Literary Digest.
In the8e days of tumbling prices
and forced liquidations in business
and industry, bankers arc learning a
new trade, observes The American
Banker. They are going Into merchandising?"not
because they like
It hilt hoMimo *">? * 1

chandising forced upon them owing
to the failure of clients to live up to
their contracts." As the editor of
this weekly magazine for bankers explains:
Frequently nowadays the banker
finds himself the owner of commodities
accepted as collateral for loane
which were not met on maturity.
"When one meets a big banker these
days," observed a Wall Street man,
"the question he propounds is likely
to be something like this: 'Can you
tell me how to sell 10,000 cases ol
canned tomatoes?"

CLERK OF HOUSE
AMD PURCHASES
On Many Strange and Unexplained
Errands.
Washington, Feb. 5?One whc
reads the report of the house clerk
with a discriminating eye would
reach the conclusion that the members
of the house have deteriorated
S- into a soft and nffomlno*
tion. The clerk reveals purchases for
> eyebrow tweezers, puff boxes, manicure
sets end sentimental cards and
calendars. It is not reported for
whom such puchases were made, ox
whether or not the clerk was reimbursed.
Some of the contingent fund appropriations
follow: One box party
Invitations, 4 5 cents; one dozen No.
horbet cards, 12.75; manicure sets
15.40; two "From Me to You" calendars,
$1; one puff box, $1.50; two
three dozen metal egg crates, $2.55;
one icy hot thermos bottle, $4.20;
two "Something Like You" books, $1,
one jewel case, $3.30; one watch
bracelet, $22.50; one baby ring,
$1.50; one silver locket, $5.40.
The report shows that on March
16, 12 alarm clocks were purchased
for $21, the impression being given
that certain members of congress required
assistance in keeping their
eyes open. One warm August day, the
report show8 that it became necessary
to purchase one Kalamazoo ice
blanket. Two rugs for the clerk's office
cost $517. But that was minor
compared with the $1,283 expended
for a rug for the house lobby. The
majority leader's room secured a rug
at 1460
Congress trie8 to keep clean ? as
far as its physical body Is concerned.
Twelve dozen bath towels were
bought for $126. And when congress
bathes, the affair Is one of luxury,
as the report shows that on July 15
eight bars of soap were purchased at
$1.69 per bar, and the additional bars
at the plebeian price of $1 per bar.
Cleopatra, whose baths are still the
subject of song and story had nothing
on those of the memberB of the
house who serve the plain people.
Huge numbers of Christmas cards
were purchased from the contingent
fund, enough to put one in the hands
of every voter of the United States.
Fifteen pages are filled with
amounts paid for folding speeches ol
members. On June 10, $40.50 was
paid for six barrels of paste to be
} used In sealing envelopes containing
these Demosthenean utterances.
Death8 are costly. When a member
dies a coffin valued at $350 Is purchased.
And funeral Dartl*? ?
large sum from the money of the
taxpayers. Investigations, especially
when conducted by Republicans Just
prior to a presidential campaign,
costs so much that to mention the
specific sum would arouse animosity.
Representative James A. Freer received
$2,600 for expenses incident to
a trip with an investigating subcommittee.
This i^ Just one of a list of
hundreds of such Items.
There Is no other conclusion, but
that legislation "comes high" despite
ifth* public pleas tor economy.
POULTRY HINTS
(Prepared by County Home Demonstration
Agent.)
One of the greatest assets on the
farm is the poultry. In making our
poultry a better paying proposition
the following suggestions will be
found helpful.
Every farm should have a flock
of uniform standard poultry. Not
...*n aw... -
uuiu iucu c?u we expect to demand
the top price for our products in
competition with an A grade standard
uniform of products. However,
the world was not made in a day, so
a right step in that direction is the
next best thing. Dispose of that scrubby,
knocked kneed rooster and get a
purebred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island
Red, White Wyandotte, Leghorn,
or any good utility, vigorous
> bird. You will be so well pleased with
the improved fryers, pullets and eggs
produced next year that you will go
the whole thing another year with an
exclusive flock of pure bred birds.
Always watch for the best layers
; in the fall and use them for breeders
during tbe hatching season. The best
hatching season is during the months
of January. February and March.
String is nature's most favorable
growing season, hence the early
> hatched chlckg will have the advantage
of this favorable growing season.
Given the same care and attention,
chicks hatched the first of
March will weigh more when they
arc four months old than those hatcheu
the first of May when they are
four months old.
i Green feed is excellent for the
, flock and can be substituted for a
considerable amount of the grain ration.
If you have no green feed, Epsom
Salts giveQ every ten days ?
i about 1 pound to 100 hens?in the
drinking water will give surprising
results. Salts has ? of for.? ,.n_
to green feed, as a laxative and a
cleanser.
A hen, to lay well, should drink
i a great quantity of water In winter
as well as in summer. Ice cold water
i chills the body, reduces the temperature
and circulation, and retards egg
1 production. Warm the water.
In addition to grain, green feed
and water, the fowls need protein.
It is a seriou8 mistake to overfeed
with corn and leave off the proper
amount of protein. This protein has
i an important effect on the egg prol
duction and the development of the
. chicks. From it are made the flesh,
i feathers, blood and the whites of the
' eggs. In the summer bugs and ini
sects supply the protein, but when
winter comes it must be supplied by
; buttermilk, clabber, or peas.
Never allow the mother hen to
1 range with the young chicks until
' they are at least two weeks old.
Large numbers of young chicks die
' every year because they are allowed
to run in the wet gras8 during their
early life.
Be sure the flock Is comfortably
i housed. The house should be built
> with a shed roof and open front fac'
ing the south. Arrange the perches
' on a level with the dropping boards.
Be sure the house la kept dry. Oak
leaves may be used on the floor.

' HOG CHOLERA, CAT. '
, TLB TICKS AMD SIN.
One will pay you as well as the
other. Uucle Sam tells us that hog
1 cholera is not a very paying invest'
ment and if we could get rid of it we
would have lots of smoked ham and
' bacon, sausage, hog jole and greens,
and so we would. Then if we could
1 be rid of ticks, fleas and flies, what
milk and butter, steak and stew we
could have, and what money we could
make out of hogs and cattle!
But sin?just plain, every day sin
?costs us more in money?hard money?than
all the plagues and pests of
the world. A race of grafters, gam'
biers, liars, thieves, robbers and libertines
could not build up a town
. with banks, stores, factories and
shops, nor could such people have a
, city of homes with love and child
iiooa, nowers and songs. Sin is a failure;
the paths of sin lead nowhere
but to failure and death.
Yes, cholera in hogs, ticks In cattle
and sin in man belong in the
' same class. To get rid of cholera, vaccinate
the hog. To get rid of ticks dip
the cow, and to get rid of sin?well,
' that's another story. Better get the
, OLD BOOK and find out how. Bet.
ter go to church and see if the preach,
er knows. Better go to Sunday school
. and hear what others are saying
, about sin.
Say, why not take better care of
. your hogs and cattle and your children?
While you are at it, why not
j take better care of yourself?
Yours for better hogs and better
men.? (Selected.)

MISTAKES
It is the part of prudence to en
ueavor 10 reduce mistakes to the minimum,
but no great success is ever
accomplished without some mistakes.
If there is such a thing among human
curiosities as a man of affairs
who has never made mistakes in his
business or daily life, it is a safe wager
that man has not been very successful?he
simply has stood still,
while his more progressive brethren
have gone ahead and built success
upon the lessons of their mistakes.
The best thing one can say about mistakes
is that we learn something from
tbem. Standing still is one of the
greatest mistakes, but lt8 lesson generally
comes to late to be of any benefit.
Progress demands action. Take
a chance, not necessarily a gambler's
chance, which usually is recklessness,
but one of the ordinary, necessary
human chances; make mistakes maybe,
but do something. It applies to
the newspaper publishing business
and without it there would be no publications
no aHvortloinir nn Arvmm.in
ity expression. And without these the
wheels of progress would soon stop.
