\ * THE SHIELDING SHADOW I The other half came away ut a touch. And Rnveugar wore a wig. His graying hair, at which the girt had often wondered in so young a man?for he seemed little more than 90?was false too. Beneath it was a crop of close cut fluxou hair. The wig was awry, and as Leontine removed it and looked into Ravengar'a | face she uttered a great cry, rose to her feet, and stared at him w/eatlilessiy.

I ' HATCH CHICKS NOW BEFORE MAY FIRST ' Poultrymen Make Greatest; Profits From Chickens Hatched Early. j I The poultryni:m makes his greatest profit from the chicks which arc hatched bcCoie May 1. The early hatched cockerels are sold as broiler.: when the broiler market is at ii.; best. The flood oi late hatch: cl broilers bring.'! prices down and con the market. The greater retains received from early hi tched broilers ?;< far toward defraying the est cl rui.s ing the pullets. These nurcts in turn begin lading when egg.; : re blinking t'io highest prices and when thev ? is the greatest shortage of .strict!\ fresh e ygr. Still more important, early hi.tcl ed chicken;; grow ?nore rapidly fhi.n those hatched late in the season and are much less likely to become sick. The late hatched chickens arc always the first to catch cold and sp?*ead disease throughout the flock. CI Li: ens hatched late in the year will rot mature before iold weather and usually will not lay until well into the winter, or even toward spring. ' This means that they will have to be fed an<l carried over for several months at a constant expense, with no return, and this at a time when | feed is at its highest. The early hatched pullets can be developed to a large extent o.i range, and a saving in grain feed is possible in this way. The highest producing puihts av those which began laying early. T> } get irto the 200-egg cla?? a puilot must lay (JO or more eggs bt?for? March 1. In order to do this, pullets f must be hatched before May , so that they will begin laying by the 1st of November. In the section of the country north of the Ohio River it is advisable to begin hutching not latev ;.?an March 1 and to continue hatchiup,' at intervals through March and April, so that outlets of different ages will be coming* on, and the broilers will not all be ready for market at the same time. The American breeds (Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottcs, Rhode Island Reds, etc.) should be hatched earlier than the Mediterranean breeds, such as the Leghorns, Minorcas, etc., because they take about one month longer to mature. Pullets of the American breeds will begin layinga'j about 7 months of age, and those of the Mediterranean breeds at about 6 months. It is often difficult to got enough broody hens to set the eggs early. This may be partly overcome by sotting the earliest eggs in an incubator i and putting those eggs under hens a few days before they are ready to ha ten. A hen usually can brood from or.e and one-half to two times ' as many chickens as she will hatch. So that additional chickens hatched f in the incubators can also be given to hens which are hatching eggs at the same time. Early hatching will produce more eggs in the fall and winter, while a laiger portion of hens will get broody early in the spring, thus completing the necessary circle for early fall egg production. Early hatched chickens are by far the most profitable in every way. o?i YOU NEED A SPRING LAXATIVE Dr. King's New Life PiPs will remove the accumulated wastes of win-1 ter from your intestines, the burden of the blood.

I FUNSTON WAS FIGHTING MAN Could Not Be Bluffed Nor Bullied Never Did Eithther? Himself. Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, commander of the United States army since February 19, 1916, died suddenly a few minutes after he had finished dinner. He collapsed and fell unconscious while seated in the lobby of the hotel talking with friend* and playing with little Inez Silverberg >f Des Moines, Iowa, a guest with her parents at the hotel. Death was aliuost instantaneous. Gen. Funston was 51 years old. Not until 1896 when the Cuban i?. i.urrection was at its height did Fro-1 ilerick Funston become known throughout the United States as a first class fighting man, but his friends in Kansas?where he spent j his early manhood?long so classified j him. As a student a' the Uni\orsity o : Kansas, when ho weighed less the 100 pounds, he corc|U rod : j I ?00 pound "had man." who three to -.c i him with a razor. To add to the giants humiliation, Funston marches him through the streets cf Lawrence. Kan., at the poi.it cf a "revolver, tc [ a pol\:c stati n.

Ever ready to plunge into danger, he cared little whether his force ! equalled that of his opponent. One I day, the story goes, when it appear1 ed certain the Filipinos would destroy three companies under Funston's command, General Harrison 1 , Gray Otis, inquired of the Colonel 1 how long he could hold his position, j "Until I am mustered out," Fun sLon replied; and made good by repulsing the Filipinos. I When the volunteers were discharged, Funston retained his rani-, as a member of the regular army. As a regular he made a mark by maintaining order in San Francisco during the disaster of 190 . Temporarily in charge of the troops at the Presidio, when the disturbance came, he quickly declared martial law and set about obtaining accomodations for the homeless, keeping down the cost of food and arresting trouble-makers. It was while he was in command of the troop* at Vera Cruz in 1914 that he was raised to the rank of major general. He then was 49 years old. The ambition of Funston's youth was to go to west roint, but he failed in an entrance examination. In later years he repeatedly outranked West Pointers who were in school when he failed of admission. Physically, Funston was one of the smallest men in the United States Army. He was barely five feet and five inches tall and usually weighed less than 120 pounds. In civil life he was modest and retiring. -o ? Anderson is to have a musical festival March 22 and 23. I TUB HORRY HSRALl FINAL DECISION j LEFT TO WILSON Amsterdun. ?
