Mrs. Eli Fowler of Rochelle, 111.

This is an exceedingly considerate thing for Mrs. Fowler to propose and ordinari ly I would hasten to express a glad acceptance, but I' cannot repress a feeling that it would be exceedingly embarrassing to convert so valuable" a bird into food. I am wondering if one of less value could not be made the sacrifice so that this champion of bird winners maTr go on increasing his flock, ; .. .

Due to the fact that lights in the eyening will give the hens less time between the last evening feed and the first morning, food the crop never gets empty and 'she does not suffer. Increased production will be" no ticed from lights within 10 to 15 days.- Fall and winter eggs from pul lets will be increased, but the spring laying may be reduced. Lighting will mature pullets more quickly, may delay moulting in early hatched birds and if used properly will bring hens back into laying earlier in the season, according to Prof. A. G. Phillips, head of the poultry depart ment of Purdue university. ; - lights should be started abmit No vember 1 and run to April 1 and turned on from 8 p. m. to 8:30 p. m., at which time a heavy grain ration is given. Turning on the lights and supplying grain at 4 o'clock "Tn the morning may be equally as well. The many advantages in early hatching easily offset the disadvan tages which are growing less and less each season, due to the fact that modern methods are coming into more general use. ' The early hatched chicks are the winter layers. Eggs are Highest in Pfice in winter, therefore the impor tance in early hatching. There is the fact,, too, that early hatched chicks develop before warm weather and can better stand the extreme heat of summer, which is so severe with late hatchefl chicks. Parasites are more numerous and dangerous in their at tacks on baby chicks in warm weath er. "The .older and more- developed the chicks are when summer comes the better conditiou they will be in to withstand these evils. Hatch early or buy' early hatched Chicks if you are provided with good brooding equipment that is suitable for the winter months. 1 'Ki " Immorality in Norfolk C Alarming, Probe Shows Norfolk, Neb., Feb. 6.- (Special Telegram.)

'' Chicago Stores r Take Bis Losses Since January 1 Process of Getting Back to Normal Basis Costly to State Street Mer chants. By ARTHUR M. EVANS. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire, Chicago, Feb. 6. State street stores have taken a loss of $15,000,- 000 on their aggregate New Year's inventory m shoving retail prices down to lower levels, according to data compiled by Marshall Field & Company. ' The figures show that on January 1 the big stores in the shopping dis trict had Totals to checks inventory ing $60,000,000 at actual cost price. The- merchants took an average loss of 25 per cent as a move towards liquidation, and entered the goods up on their ledgers as worth $45,000,000, thus writing off $15,O0Q,000 of the, original cost. ; Thus, we begin to get a measure of the price deflation movement along the retail street. Iii the five months from August 1 to January 1, it was estimated that the big-stores, in throwing lines of merchandise on the counters at replacement values, were taking a loss of $2,000,000 a month, or a total of $10,000,000 for the period.. Now in many lines, "such as cloth ing, hosiery and textiles, goods are on the counterat prices which the merchants declare are below replace ment figures. One of the best au thorities on the "Street," says retail prices or merchandise on the average are now back to where they were early in 1916. Three months ago they were at the general level of the Armisticeperiod of November, 1918. The prevailing opinion among the large merchants is that the New Year's average cut of 25 per cant has brought retail prices jn general down to a bedrock level, and that further changes in some lines, such as cloth ing and textiles, may be upward' in stead of downward.

' GRAND "The Scoffer." -HAMILTON "Double Adven ture," No. .2, 'and Harold Lloyd in comedy. - A glorious romance of old-time folk in the Carolina mountains a story seething with primitive .pas sions and mellow with homey joys this tells the tale of "The Jucklins," chief cinema attraction at the Strand theater this week. After many pictures of society in trigues, it is with a-sense of relief that one sees this picture. From the pen of Opie Read, it deals with good, old-faShioned people, tells a good, old-fashioned love story and contains many bits of human in terest. 3fonte Blue ploys the role of Kill rtawes me lansy scnooi ieacn er, with1 appealing interest. Mabel Julienne Scott plays opposite1 him. Really the screen should show more erf such pictures as "The Juck lins." Yes. it is the same Charlie Chap lin witlfthe bamboo cane, shuffling walk and peculiar antics, that re turned to the screen in "The Kid," which opened yesterday at the Rialto theater. , The picture shows Charlie up to his old tricks, though in an entire ly different atmosphere. Charlie is himself, "but 'he has in jected himself into a story of heart interest that provokes mirth and tears. ',v ' ' The synopsis of it sounds rather trite,, for it starts with the, aban donment of her babyxby the woman who has been wronged. The typical Chaplinesque methods of raising the kid are responsible for a good part of the comedy. . '. The main plot of "The Kentucky Colonel," which opened yesterday at the Moon theater, has to do with a Kentucky feud carried out in a famil iar way. ' The picture, adapted from the story of the same name by Opie Read, is interesting entertainment to those who like plenty of) melo dramatic incidents and conflicting elements. The story is laid in the south and the director finishes it with appeal ing touches of human interest. Jo seph J. Dowling has the title role and contributes a colorful sketch. Frederick Vroom is adequate as his crony, the general. '. The tate of "The Forbidden Thing," which opened in film version at the Sun theater yesterday, is peo pled with figures who are actually life-like whose joys and sorrows are touched upon witn genuine leeiing. It is dramatic to the core. The central theme revolves around the eternal conflict of the physical woman against the spiritual woman for the possession of a man's soul. The action is placed in a Cape Cod fishing village, and is concentrated upon a rugged native, piayed Dy; James Kirkwood. whose love for his sweetheart and his mother guides him into a heartfelt appreciation for their welfare. Allan Dwan, the, producer, has really made it a masterpiece; s , The Eee s PIG -TAILS By A. MARIA CRAWFORD. "What's the big idea, Margaret, plaiting your hair in braids down your back today?" asked Anne Feltnor, joining her schoolmate as they left the class room, where they had been taking their final examina tion at Miss Westmore's select school for young ladies. "My hair is so heavy that I de cided ,1 could think better in that trig exam today if I left it hanging down. None of up seem to care how we look this week. Everybody is considering, the awful possibility of flunking onKinals. It would simply kill me if I failed to graduate with the rest of you girls in my class." "You fail?" scoffed admiring Anne. "Why. you know that you always make higher marks than any body. Doesn't it seem ae3 ago that Lwe primped and powdered, curled and dressed according to. the latest copy of Vogue? Well, thank good ness, today eiids the. distress. No more exams. I have crammed so much this week that I'll wager my head is injured for life." "Mine, too, laughed .Margaret gaily. "I am going to celebrate by eating all the candy I want. I have been afraid to eat much lately for fear I would get my stomach out of order and be sjck at exam time. Mother sent me my commencement clothes yesterday. Come to my room this afternoon? We'll have a feed and I'll exhibit my pretties." "Sounds more exciting than sleep," yawned Anne drowsily, "Guess I'll take you up. bay, who is mat goon lookincr -man-over there, by the chapel with Professor Smythe?" Margaret looked in tne uirection indicated. Then she started. The vision was lifting his modish straw hat and smiling as he started toward her. Herlips parted childishly. The arm holding some books and tablets was oressed painfully into her side. Why, Anne, its captain Allen Las well, the man I met when ather was at Camp Greenleaf during the war. And look at me! My nose ihining! My hair down' This mussed gingham,. Oh, it's terrible!" The debonair figure came swiftly across the stretch ;of green campus Margaret's breath seemed to stick in her throat. She presented her awed classmate stammeringiy. "Why, I I'm so glad to see you " she said when Anne had fled Jo the dormitory with the great news that the soldier Margaret haa been writ ing to all the time was right there, at the college. . "What are you-do-ing here?" she asked, finally, to make conversation. - "That's a funny question," laiigM .ed the man easily, "I came to see you." Then he looked taf her quiz zically. "Say, you look younger than' you did two years ago at camp. You are, perchance, Margaret's baby sister." Margaret laughed at that and tossed her heavy braids back from her flushing face. "Xhat is funny. Mother will eujoy it when I tell her I was only 16 when father went to camp, and that time I visited him, when I met yfu, Lpersuaded mother to let me dress up like a grown per son. " I had nevef worn a really low evening dress in my life until the night of that dance at the Armory. How I enjoyed it! It was just like living in a story book." "Upon my word," ejaculated the man soberly. "Why, you were so self-possessed, so calm over the ad miration you naturally elicitated you took the attention of the officers so graciously why. I thought you were 20 at least. And I have been wtiting you love letters. I meant them, too," he added stubbornly. They had turned and were walk ing slowly toward the dormitory. Anne's news had spread like a flash of lightning across the sky. There were faces at every window, watch ing breathlessly. The girls thought it was better than seeing their fa vorite actress in a thrilling love scene. It was real, not "make believe." ,They were touching the rosy-hued garments of life itself. They were breathing the fragrance ot romance at last and they were in toxicated with the brimming cup that Margaret's wartime experience was offering them. Margaret looked up and saw the rows of eager eyes. She felt horri bly ill at ease. Awkward! If. she had only put her hair up in its usual smooth, fhining coils! If she had only donlied the blue linen with its fascinating vest of real Irish crochet! "What what did you say?" she inquired with an Effort. "You aren't listening. What's.the matter?" The quiet, stern voice made her look up "at him quickly. "Aren't you glad to see me, Margaret, when I've been thinking about you, dreaming of seeing you again all these months?" Margaret straightway forgot the rows of watchful eyes. She heard the tremor in his voice felt in stinctively, the quick pain in his heart, his disappointment. she longed with all the burning maternal ardor of extreme youth to shield him from anything hurtful. She laid a timid hand on his sleeve. The cur tains at the dormitory windows shook violently as the girls leaned closer to see what would happen next. "Why, Allen, I am so glad, so glad, that it hurts. I can't tell. you how glad I am. Burl am conscious of my hair downr-I never -wear it like this it was my final exam to day. I was tired, nervous. I am such a sight iiKthisrjld gingham." Relief dawned on his handsome face. His own hand quickly cover ed hers, there on his arm. "You wanted to be dressed up for me?" Incredulity at his greau good lock sounded in his quivering voice. All of the color in her sliu young body rushed tf her checks and throat. "Yes," she fairly gasped. "I do. I did." "Then I'll say good-bye and run back to the hotel for an hour. Will you go to dinner with me tonight? I have a letter from your father to Miss Westmore. It will be all right May I come back by 2 o'clock?" "I'll he ready I'll be so glad" Then he was gone and Margaret rushed into the dormitory and fell into the arms of the girls waiting for her at the head of the stairs. "Look in your room!" they cried in chorus. Margaret opened the door and saw two boxes, one of them so large that the maid had put it on the nar row bed. She clipped the string arctmd it with hands that trembled. Back of her the room overflowed with girls. She lifted an armful of La France rose buds from moist tis Short Story sue paper wrappings. Then she opened another box, tied with pink satin ribbons. Candy! Ten whole pounds of it. She had never owned such a huge box before. "Girl help yourselves," she called inviting ly. "He's coming back at 2. I have to get lunch and dress. What would you wear? .She opened the closet door with a nourish. Finally her roommate put the other girls out and they fell to work, those two, making Margaret as love ly as possible. She found fa note from her mother in the pocket of the new blue linen dress. I am send itig you a little M'hitv georgette , . ,A A,, . V ,1 uress lo wear wnen mien caswcii visits you. He called on ps and asked permission to go to see you. He was wounded in France and is just now getting strong and well again. You are very young to have a real lover but we must take into consideration that Allen Caswell is a man in a thousand. "I'm going to dinner with him ?t the . hotel tonight," said Margaret, giving her. roommate a little squeeze. "I'll wear the georgette then." Her eyes were shining like stars when she finally descended the stairs watched from above by dozens of admiring girls who Iotwed on enviously twh9e she went forth on the Great Adventure. Allen Caswell met her at the door oi the little wicker furnished sitting loom. I brought you two gradua tion gifts. You are to have yoar choice. I showed them to your mother and she said it would be nil right for you to take either of them." He held out a jeweler's velvet box. She gave a little cry of rapture at sight of the platinum bracelet set with sapphires that shone against the white satin lining. "Oh, this is what I want," she whispered. - "Nothing could be as lovely as this." She held out her arm as he slipped it on? y Then he put hi? hand into his vest pocket. "This," he held out a flash ing solitaire ?'You know what it means. I wint you before any other man has a chance to take you from me, Margaret, dear. I" know now that you are only a little girl I'll ne willing to wait if only you prom ise me that you wilL try ,to learn to careA I want you to have gay, good tjfiiesknow other men, of course, for I want you to be s.ure that you care as I care. I'll keep this ring waiting for you forever if you think if yon dream that you can ever care for me I love" you so. It was the thought of you that kept me safe over there." .. She smiled with the wisdom of all ages as she unfastened the bracelet and handed it back to him. Then she held out her hand her left hand for his ring. "I'm sure now," she said, with lips that quivered a little. "Mother was only 19 when father " That was as far as she could go. A little later he slipped the bracelet back on her arm. That's yours, too. Everything that I have is yours, Margaret," n Overhead girls inclined their ears in an effort to hear, some sound. What would they have done if they had known that Margaret had not only set out on the Great Adven ture, but that she had also found it?
