This has boan a very successful
I oultry show season, both from the
(-lan(li)oint of public interest and the
number of exhibitors entered. No
doubt the many educational features
cf preseiu-day exhibitions ar? re
sponsible to a large degree for their
increased popularity. The poultry
show is no longer a mystery. Peo
ple can attend theshw anck obtain
food information in regard Jo prac
tical poultry raising.
The next big major exhibition is
the National Poultry show to be
IH-ld at the International Amphi
theater, Chicago, under the auspices
tf the Chicago Poultry Breeders'
association. Premium lists and en
try blanks are now ready and can
be secured from the secretary, Judge
R E. J fate, 349 West Sixty-fifth
tlrect, Chicago.
Pointers for December,
When birds come home from the
poultry show, give them a roomy
place by themsclvevs for at least 10
' days, where they can rest, stretch
:.nd exercise. This will undoubted
ly prevent any ill effects as a result
of confinement in the" Show room.
Don't forget that eggs should be
collected several times daily during
cold weather to avoid chilling and
freezing. Particular care should be
exercised In this respect during the
breeding season, which is soon to
open. Chilled and frozen eggs are
of no use for hatching purposes and
are certainly inferior for table use.
This is the season to overhaul in
cubators and brooders, and place
them in good order for the early
hatching season. If you are plan
ning the purchase of an incubator,
tftjs is the time to investigate the
various standard makes 'and study
their good'points.
There is nothing about the opera
tion of an incubator that is difficult.
It js just a matter of exercising or
dinary care and common sense.
What does a hen do to hatch chicks?
Simply applies the necessary heat,
and leaves the nest now and again
to fford ventilation to the; eggs.
And this is precisely , what is re-
Beatrice jGirl Dies ' ,
Of Fractured Skull
When Struck by Car
Beatrice. Neb.. Dec. 12. (Special
Telegram.) Stella Williams. ,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Williams of the Cortland vicinity,
was struck by an automobile near
her home and sustained a fractured
skull from . which she died a few
hours later.
The car was driven by Ray Har
rold of Lincoln, who was accompan
ied by Mrs. Harrold, Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Matson, all of Lincoln, and F.
Howler of Manhattan, Kan. A num
ber of children were playing along
the highwav when the auto ap
proached. The" children scattered.
But the Williams chikl ran nrccy
in front of the machine, Harrold
VmV. Y.'ams. the girl's father, is
employed on the Richard Dcviries
farm, in Highland township. At the
reauest of the father no inquest was
field.1
quired in the iteration of an incuba
tor in order that it may also hatch
clucks the right application of heat
and ventilation to the eggs. Incu
bator manufacturers have provided
machines that are acknowledged to
be excellent substitutes for setting
hens. It is simply a question now
of following the directions of the
manufacturer in rcfenrd to maintain
ing the correct temperature and
properly tooling the eggs each day.
You cannot prevent eggs from
hatching In a properly constructed
machine (assuming they are fertile)
unless you leave undone one or more
f f the few things the manufacturer's
directions instruct you to do.
About Brooders.
The brooders, like the incubators,
are simply machines and are used to
raise chicks hatched either by hen
or incubator. If the chicks are incubator-hatched,
however, you have
the advantage of being sure they
are free from lice when you place
them in the brooder. This is not al
ways true of hen-hatched chicks.
The same factors required in
hatching chicks are required in rais
ing them namely, heat and ventila
tion, the only difference being in the
quantity of eich that is required to
be applied. A good broader makes
it easy to provide the proper, heat
and ventilation to insure healthy
growth and development.

very good to relieve colds. The children grew fat and
healthy while taking Father John's Medicine and It cer
tainly proved to be a wonderful tonlo and body builder'
(Signed) Mrs. L. McManus, 409 E. 71st Street, New

Don't Sell America "Sliort"
By CHARLES H. SABIN.
In a slatentent prepared for the December, 1 920, issue of the
Guaranty Trust Company's publication, The Guaranty
v Aen5, Mr. Sabin, president of that compatty, comments
on current conditions as follows:
THERE arc some important considerations which should
. be borne in mind in the present situation by all who seek
to analyze it accurately.
In the first place, there is nothing mysterious or unexpected y
about the present condition in either the commodity or security
markets. For months it has been certain, and ithas been re
peatedly so stated by students of the situation, that there must
be a liquidation of commodities, securities and labor before
this country could fully recover from the effects of the war
and be restored to anything like a normal business basis. It
was inevitable that the processes of readjustment should be
painful in many respects and in many instances, but that they
were and" are inevitable was a matter of common knowledge
among all who seek to study these problems apart from im
mediate self-interest. Jhe regrettable thing is that, as com
modity and security prices reached points far above their real
value in the, boom period, so they are today falling to points
far below their real value. Necessary liquidation is proceed
ing after the manner anticipated, on the whole, but there are
yet several steps to be taken. "
Perhaps the most important of these is for retail merchants
to" realize that they too must meet the inevitable economic
trend and adjust their prices to meet the new conditions. Only
in that manner can the situation be stabilized and frozen
credits thawed out. I know this is not a pleasant message, but
I am firmly convinced that the sooner such a policy is pur
sued, the less costly and painful it will be to all concerned.
The process of deflation must include all,the elements in the
body economic sooner or later and there can be no escape
from the inexorable law which directs it. Dodging the facts
or attempting to postpone the inevitable will not bring immun
ity to anyone, whether his interest lies in production or distribu
tion, capital or labor. ;' .,.
The unfortunate effect in such a situation is always that
many innocent parties are made to suffer through ignorance
and misunderstandings and also through the spread of false
and maljcious rumors which such conditions always inspire,
with a resulting loss of confidence and panic sales.
t
There is somuch in the present situation to inspire con
fidence and hope for the future that it is little short of crim
inal for anyone to paint the picture so blackly, through either
ignorapce or intent, that these vital facts are obscured. To
cite a few pertinent facts: This country will harvest this
year one of the largest crops in its history; its transportation
congestion, has been relieved and its railroad system is for the
first time in a decade on a sound financial and operating basis;
we have passed through a national election and assured four
years of sane administration of public affairs; our banking
system has withstood the greatest credit strain in its history
and is on a sound and workable basis ; the accumulated sur
plus of five years of splendid prosperity is scored in many ways
for our continued use; the markets of the world demand our
products and a great mercantile marine is prepared to trans
port them; this country has not been overbuilt or overextended
in any of its underlying activities, and faes no program of
readjustment along these lines such as usually precipitates'1
panic conditions. We are in a sounder financial, industrial
and political condition than any important nation in the world.
These are the simple fundamental ( fact of our business
situation, and to consider the present reaction as anything but
a temporary setback from the destruction, inflation, extrav
agance and unsound economic conditions precipitated by the
war is simply not to reckon with the truth. It remains true
today,, as it has since this country was first settled, that "any
man who sells the United States of America 'short' is in the
long run certain to lose' and,-furthermore, any man who
seeks to profit by the misfortunes of others in the circulation
of misstatements or false rumors, hoping to precipitate further
reactions, should be branded as a public enemy.
This is a time for clear thinking ancl courageous acting
and in the proportion that such factors are brought to bear
will rewards follow when this spell of reaction has run its
course. w - , 7
