HISTORICAL FACTS OF THE PAST
WEEK.
Former President McKinley was
born January 29. 1843.
The Russians took Tabriz on Jan.
30. 1914. in one of the early fights of
the present European struggle.
Carlos of Portugal was assassinated
February 1. 1908.
General J. E. Johnston was born on
Febrauary 3. 1S07.
Friday, February 2. was Candelmas
Day and Ground Hog Day. As Candel
mas. it meant the feast of the Purifi
cation of the Blessed Virgin, so called
from being formerly celebrated with
processions and shows of candles. It
was instituted in the sixth century
during the reign of Justinian and came
in lieu of the Roman festival of Sa
percalia which had also been celebrat
ed with candles. As Ground Hog Day,
it is an old superstition still largely
believe in, that the groun hog will
come out of his lair on this day and
that if he sees his shadow he will
run back into his hole and that in
clement weather will prevail for six
weeks. If, however, the day be cloudy
an no shadows are cast throughout
the day, the little rodent will remain
outside and the following six weeks of
weather will be pleasant. As last Sat
urday was bright and clear. Brother
ground hog surely saw his shadow and
according to superstition the follow
ing six weeks will be stormy.
Sunday, February 4th, was Septu
agesima. the third Sunday before
Lent. It is so called because it is
about seventy days before Easter.
YOUR LAST CHANCE.
Recently we published in these col
umns an offer of The Youth’s Com
panion and McCall's Magazine, both
for a full year, for only $2.10, includ
ing a McCall Dress Pattern. The high
price of paper and ink has obliged
McCall's Magazine to raise their sub
scrition price February 1 to 10 cents
a copy and 75 cents a year—so that
the offer at the above price must be
withdrawn.
Until March 31. our readers have the
privilege of ordering both publica
tions for a full year, including the
choice of any 15-eent McCall Dress
Pattern, for only $2.10.
The amount of reading, information
and entertainment contained in the
fifty-two issues of The Youth’s Com
panion and the value of twelve month
ly fashion numbers of McCall’s at
$2.10 offer a real bargain to every
reader of this paper.
This two-at-one price offer includes:
1. The Youth’s Companion—52 issues
2. The Companion Home Calendar
for 1917.
3. McCall's Magazine—12 fashion
numbers.
4. One 15-cent McCall Dress Pattern
—your choice from your first copy
of McCall’s—if you send a two
cent stamp'with your selection.

“KNOW THE UNIT."
“Know the unit.”
This is a hint the home economics
department of the University of Ne
braska offers to housewives who would
buy economically. Since raw materials
and labor fluctuate in price, the sell
ing price of a commodity or the size
of the package must vary.
For example, many Lincoln folks ob
jected to a proposed raise of 1 cent in
the selling price of the one-pound
loaf. Though the loaf still sells for 5
cents, its size has been reduced so
much that the consumer now pays 9
cents a pound for his bread.
Likewise, the housewife who hesi
tates to pay 40 cents a pound for fresh
eggs (COc a dozen) often buys pre
pared breakfast foods at the rate of
40 cents a pound. Yet she could buy
equally as good breakfast foods (un
prepared) at 8, 10, or 12 cents a pound
and cook them herself at litle cost.
Consequently, economical buying re
quires a knowledge of the unit price
rather than package price.
WHAT MUST HOT COFFE BE?
A preacher was describing the “bad
place.” “Friends,” he said, “you’ve
seen molten iron running out of a fur
nace, haven't you? It comes out white
hot, sizzling and hissing. Well—”
(the preacher . pointed a long, lean
finger at the congregation, “they' use
that stuff for ice cream in Hades.”
Most men can see where their wife
would have made a splendid gang boss,
but for the accident of birth.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Don't be a grumbler. Some people
contrive to get hold of the prickly side
of everything; to run up against the
sharp corners, and find out all the dis
agreeable things. Half the strength
spent in growling would often set
things right. You may as well make
up your mind, to begin with, that no
one ever found the world as he tvouid
like it; but you are to take your share
of troubles, and bear them bravely.
You will be very sure to have troubles
laid upon you that belong to other peo
ple. unless you are a shirk yourself,
but don’t grumble. If the work
needs doing, and you can do it, never
mind about the other person who
ought to have done it and didn’t. Those
workers who fill up the gaps and
smooth away the rough spots, and
finish up the job others leave undone,
they are the true peacemakers, and
worth a whole lot of growlers.—David
City Banner.

I LOCAL MEN TO ATTEND BIO CHI
CAGO Cement show.
Henry Ohlsen & '■Son and a local
party of others Interested in perma
nent construction with concrete are
making plans to visit the Tenth Chica
go Cement Show at the Coliseum. Feb.
7-15. The Chicago Coliseum is one of
the famous convention auditoriums of
the country. It has housed perhaps
more national exhibitions and national
political conventions than any other
building in the United States. Concrete
is so widely used and it interests so
large a number of people, that the
Chicago Cement show is regarded, not
only as the barometer of the building
business, but of business in general
for the ensuing year. This year the
barometer is at a high point, as is evi
denced by the large number of exhibi
tors who have applied for space. They
have such confidence in the building
boom that they have applied for space
in greater numbers than ever before.
For the first time in the history of the
Show it will be necessary to use the
balcony of the Coliseum in addition to
the main floor and Annex.
Practically every type of concrete j
construction will be exhibited at the
Cement Show as well as all the vari- j
ous kinds of machinery for its manu
facture.
Chicago is the natural place to hold
such a large national exhibition as it
is within three hours’ ride of the cen
ter of population of the United States
and because it is the world's greatest
railroad center. Over 50,000,000 peo
ple. or half the population of the Unit
ed States, live within a night’s ride of
Chicago. As the convention city of the
country, it has ample hotel accomoda
tions.
In addition to the Cement Show,
there will be held, during the same
week, several conventions of allied
interests, including the national con
ventions of the American Concrete In
stitute, National Builders' Supply As
sociation, Illinois Lumber and Build
ers' Supply Dealers’ Association.
American Concrete Pipe Association,
and American Association of Engi
neers.
Thousands of contractors, engineers
building material dealers and city and
government officials from all parts of
the United States and Canada, will
be in attendance to interchange ideas
on the year’s progress in building
construction, and our local representa
tives will have ample opportunity to
profit by meeting these well-known
men.
TIME FOR HATCHING.
The purpose for which birds are
needed and the class to which they
belong decide the season for begin .i:ig
incubation. Those who raise broilers
in any appreciable numbers mus‘ b > j
gin hatching late in December. If one i
has a good market and understands j
how to care for winter hatched chicks
this is a very profitable end of the in-1
dustrv. though the fertility of eggs is
low in cold weather and the life germs
of the fertile eggs may be poor.
Small breeds, as Leghorns, Ham
burgs and Polish may be hatched as
late as May and mature before cold
weather, but heavy birds should be
hatched in February and forced to
early maturity if intended as layers.
If so managed, they will lay all winter,
but if hatched as late as April or May,
it will require expert care to get a
pullet of the Asiatic or American class
into laying conUition before autumn
and they may not lay until nearly a
year old. If possible, Asiatics should be
hatched before the middle of Febru
ary and Americans before the first of
March, as both classes are slow to
mature under average conditions.
Highly specialized layers like the
Mediterraneans should not be hatched
before the first of April, as they may
moult in the fall if they mature too
early, in which case they may not re
sume laying until very late in the win
ter. They make better winter layers
when hatched in April or May, and it
is the winter layers which make the
big egg money. June and July chicks
may thrive well, buch pullets rareiy
begin to lay until nearly spring.
Three or four times as many chicks
should be hatched as there are hens to
be discarded, because at least half the
chicks will be males and there will be
some inferior pullets to be culled and
sold in market unless used on the
home table. The sale of culls and
cockerels should pay for all the eggs
used in hatching and for the feed need
ed before they reach marketable ago.
After deciding how many pullets w'll
be required to replace the old hens,
and the probable amount of males and
culls, fifty per cent more eggs should
be allowed, as a hatch of two-thirds of
the eggs is fairly satisfactory provided
the chicks are vigorous.
Average Period of Incubation:
Chickens .20—22 days
Geese .28—34 days
Ducks . 28 days
Turkeys .27—29 days
Guinea fowls . 28 days
People who think advertising doesn’t
pay will wondqr why the American
Tobacco company has appropriated be
tween $3,000,000 and $3,500,000 for It
this year.
Gee! but we'd hate to be a fanner
these days—corn worth only about 90c
a bushel, butter too high for ordinary
people to eat. and eggs more precious
than gold. Thankful we are indeed, that
we are in the newspaper business, the
most remunerative business in the
world!
