Keep Feeding Hens
Mash In Summer
( lemson, June 20.?Dont' make the
mistake of discontinuing feeding mash
to liens in the spring and' summer
months."
I This is the advice of I>. H. Gooding,
poultry specialist of Clemson College
Extension Service, who adds:
"Eggs contain a high fer cent of
protein and the hen muftt' make the
egg from the feed given her. Hence,
if the hen is given only corn, which
contains very li?tle protein, then one
should not expect a great many eggs.
The way to cut the cost of feed is
by disposing of hens that stop laying
early in the summer and feeding
the ones that continue to lay. A hen
will ^nake money during the summer
if she continues to Jay, but she can
not produce eggs unless a well balanced
ration is given her."
A ration does not need to be excessively
high in price to give satisfactory
results, according to Mr. Gooding.
who says that satisfactory results
have been obtained for laying
hens from the following ration: 200
pounds of wheat bran, 200 pounds of
wheat middlings, and 100 pounds of
fish meal or meat scraps.
SCENES OF CARNAGE
A writer in a recent issue of American
Mercury presented a new and interesting
view of the automobile accident
problem. He observed that., in
the light of present-day conditions, it
is not remarkable that 36,000 persons
are being killed in traffic accidents
annually?but that it is remarkable
that the number is not several times
as great.
In the average state, almost anyone
not completely crippled can obtain a
license to drive a car, irrespective of
his ability, responsibility, intelligence
or judgment. If he chooses, he can
operate a car that belongs by rights
in the junk heap?a car with an inaudible
horn, feeble or glaring lights,
uncertain brakes, and a steering gear
affected with St. Vitus dance. If he
drives that car in a dangerous manner,
cutting curves, weaving in and
out of traffic, and "giving her the
gun" whenever possible, the chances
f are that he will escape arrest?and
! that if he is arretted, he will be assessed
a relatively small fine and permitted
to go right on driving. When
the inevitable finally occurs, and
someone is killed or injured because
of his recklessness or incompetence,
he may have a harder time getting
out of the mess?but that won't bring
a dead person to life.*
If any progress is to be made In
reducing the horrible toll of automobile
deaths and injuries, stringent
methods must be adopted. Traffic
codes must be modernized and enI
forced with the utmost strictness and
impartiality. Much higher qualifications
for the issuance of drivers' licenses
must be established. And the
unsafe automobile, as well as the unsafe
driver, must be banished from
the road. Otherwise, America's
streets and highways will continue to
be scenes of carnage.
Golf players in the Wilmington. N.
C., section, are having their golf balls
stolen from the fairways by crows,
which pick the balls up in their beaks
and fly away with them.

MIKE CLARK ADVANCE8 A FEW
NEW OEAL8
doer mr. cdditor: ?
I not In by the papers where our
leggls lature passed a bill to permit
trucks and buses and trailers and
houses and other pubhc nuisances
that run to and fro on the highways
and by-ways to build wider hoodies
ami carry wider louds ansoforth.
this is a hue move on the part of
the state, as it is at preasant, a person
in an otter-mobeei can overtake
and pass a truck or a bus without
running over a bo per cent risk , ...
of killing hisrielf /ami famlley, but
when they are made wider, he will
have more sense than to try to pass
them, and thus cut down highway
mortality a right smart.
within 2 years, a law should be
passed that would require all freight
and passenger highway buses to be
ST feet long instead of 72 (as now),
and forco them under penally of law
to build their bodies as wide as the
highway mought be. and carry loads
2 feet wider than the said public
road, litis would bo,a step forward,
as more men would be given work iu
factories which made wide stuff for
them.
holsum moore do not think that it
is fair at all to let pleassure cars,
bosses, mules, waggins, and pedistrions
use the public highways, they
should be deeded in fee simple to the
big transportation companies for the
soul use of hauling freight and thus
it would force the citizons to ride on
the trains of the railroads, they need
the bizness.
art square, a local chronnic gripe,
says that big trucks ansoforth should
not be allowed to hog the public highways,
but he is a light-weight, he
allso says in 10 more years that our
roads will be only a mass of crumbled
cement, stone, and sand, and not
worth repairing, he thinks thut there
is us much sense trying to haul a
ellephant in a baby carridge as there
is In letting these large, tremendous
trucks run over our roads, he ought
to be oster-cised.
some talk is going around that mebbe
the law will force the big truck
owners to build their vehlckles a little
bit higher so's cars and folks and
other live-stock could pass under
them, there is no chance to get i
around them, and this do seem verry
plausible, it mought be better though
to build new roads for tlie taxpayers,
and let the freight trucks and passenger
buses have our pressent roads,
as they seem to use them more than
everboddy else put together ansoforth.

P0I80N RACKET CHARGED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TOWN
Hpringflehl, Mass., June 13 A trial
jubilee urged an investigation today
of nearly f>0 "suspicious" deaths In
three thickly-populated mill town com
inunlticb near here.
While state official* bcanned insurance
records of three recent victims
of poison, Trial Justice lieorge H.
Huus of Ludlow called for a "thorough-going
investigation not only of
these present cases, hut those over a
course of years."
"There have been between &* and
f>0 suspicious deaths in laidlow, Chlcopee
and the Indian orchard section
of Springfield,' declared Judge Haas
"By suspicion," he continued, "I
mean many of them worn Insured by
outsiders for amounts they, themselves,
would have been unable to
carryr
Mean\Vhile, District Attorney Thomas
T\ Morlariity, directing the inves
ligation of what Judge Haas formed
an "insurance racket," sought to determine
whether the three most recent
victims had been slain.
Frank lialgas, *>0, of laidlow, was
found April I. lying in the street, apparently
killed by a hit-and-run driver.'
Frank Kroll, also of laidlow, tumbled
down a Might of stairs to his
death at hit? boarding house May 20.
Jacob Znoj, 40, of nearby Chlcopee,
died April 22, apparently of a heart
attack, 1
But police officials erased an early
report of accidental deaths when routine
autopsies revealed poison.
"The pathological examination," declared
the district attorney, "revealod
enough of the same poison in each of
the three men's bodies to cause
death."
Judge liaus, who presided at the inquest
into Halgas' death, reported to
superior court, that the death was a
"murderous act which cannot be mitigated
by the circumstances of the
victim's death."
A few miles away at Chlcopee, Justice
J. J. Kirby held an inquest yesterday
into the death of Znoj. Seven
witnesses were heard.
Spectators were barred from the
court room. Witnesses' testimony
was kept secret. His report will be
filed soon at Springfield.
Still pending Is the inquest into the
death of Kroll. That comes under
the jurisdiction of Judge Haas.
All three victims ?Halgas, Kroll
and Znoj?were of Polish extraction.
They lived, as do scores of their
country men. in the thickly-populated
flats of Chlcopee and Ludlow, along
the Connecticut river.
NIGHT PROWLING CAT IS
DESTROYER OF WILDLIFE
Though (he eat Is more or less useful
in destroying mice and other rodents,
S. Z. Pollock, wildlife specialist#of
the Soil Conservation Service
in Lexington, says tha( he is probably
the greatest enemy of game and song
birds.
Cats have a habit of eating eggs
just ready to hatch. They delight in
capturing young song birds in their
nests, often just when they are ready
to take flight. Cats eat young rabbits
and quail, and when they have consumed
their fill, they kill for the fun
of it.
The practice of allowing cats freedom
at night and early morning enables
them to hunt at the time when
they can be most destructive, says
Pollock. Some people have the habit,
he continues, of taking unwanted cats
into the country in sacks and dumping
them, a practice which has a vicious
effect upon wildlife, as such
cats are in most cases compelled to
obtain their livelihood by killing valuable
game and lnsect-eatlng birds.
All this has a definite relationship
to soil erosion control, says Mr. Pollock.
The wildlife division of the
Service Is concerned primarily with
planting various shrubs, plants and
vines that serve a three-fold purpose
of controlling erosion, supplying food
and cover for wild game, and beautifying
the landscape.
The wildlife. In turn, proves its economic
value as destroyers of insects
and other pests, as well as enhancing
the aesthetic aspects of farm life.
Therefore. Mr. Pollock reasons, if the
cat is allowed to destroy valuable
wildlife, he is an enemy to erosion
control.

KNOW ANY BIGGER?
The grandfather of A. S. Mellingor
of Indianapolis, was fond of telling
about the .time his Uncle "Mose" raised
cabbage, but one day the "boys"
at the "corner grocery" bad tbeir
revenge.
Away back in the early days of
Indiana Uncle Mose cleared a 10-acro
field in the heart of the famous virgin
soil of that state. After many
days of hard labor he built a "worm
fence" around it to keep out marauding
animals. As it was getting late
in tiie season he decided against corn,
and planted cabbage instead. When he
had broken the ground and worked
it into fine condition, he sowed the
seed ."broadcast" and hitched the old
sorrel mare to a good-sized "saplin"
with the brush which he dragged over
the ground several times to cover the
seed.
For some weeks Unele Mose forgot
about the cabbage patch, but when he
finally went to look the field over, Ills
heart sank to his boot tops. None of
the seed had sprouted except one
measly plant square in ,the middle of
the 10-acre plot. He Was so mad at
the thought of all that work for nothing
he was Just about to yank the solitary
plant out by the roots when
someone called him to come in to
dinner.
More weeks had gone by before
Uncle Mose again returned to the
field. Meanwhile the showers came
and the sun shone in just the right
proportion. As he geared the field
he was aghast to see what had happened.
The cabbage had grown and
grown until only a small part of the
fence on that 10-acre field had been
able to stand up against the pushing
and crowding of the huge vegetable.
Uncle Mose couldn't believe his eyes
and began to think he had taken too
many drinks from the "little br6wn
Jug." Just then, some other members
of the family came along and
I their exclamations of surprise proved
he was right in the first place.
One day as grandfather brought this
story to a close at the store, his old
chum, Jeff Kesler, spoke up and said
the big cabbage didn't impress him
one bit. "When I was a boy in the
old country," he began," my dad used
I to tell meabout a big brass kettle
they once made. Why, it was so large
, that when the workmen went to rivet
the "ears" on it, they couldn't hear .
their fellow workmen on the opposite
side!"
A roar of "haw haw's" made grandfather
so furious he blurted out, "And
what In tarnation did they want with
such a big kettle?"
When Jeff started to answor everyone
stopped talking. The room was
as silent as a grave. Jeff spoke: "Why
to cook that cabbage in!"?The Pathfinder.
