The beginner in poultry is apt to be innocent "of the danger from this blood sucking pest, writes J. L. Woodbury in the Farm and Fireside. Sallying forth at night from hidden recesses, the mites gorge them selves upon the defenseless chicks. At daylight tliey return to their hiding places, leaving no trace to betray their visit. The hidden parts of a coop may be literally alive with mites, and what is considered n most thorough inspection may fail to locate them. The beginner notices that his chicks come out of the brooder or coops in the morning listless and weak, and even though the weather may be warm they huddle together as if cold and tip over and die without apparent cause. He makes nil sorts of changes in feed, ven tilation, etc., which, of course, are all ineffectual as long as the chicks are ex posed nightly to the attacks of the mites. The extent to which mltcs can keep hidden was revealed to me quite by accident. A flock of my chicks had been acting as above described. It was Because they are good winter lay ers, desirable table fowls, mature rapidly and have rugged constitu tions the Rhode Island Red has be come one of the most popular of American varieties of poultry, Ab market birds they stand high. The cock shown is a single comb Rhode Island Red. not lice or mice, I argued, for I had sprayed the coop frequently, and it ap peared to bo free from these pests. At length a rut gnawed Into the coop, and I changed the brood to other quarters, where they at once begun to mend. A few days later I had occasion to- go to coop. No. 1, and what .was my surprise to find it swarming with mites not red now, but almost colorless, as they were not filled with blood. There seemed to be millions of them, some so small as to be almost Invisible to the naked eye. They had been driven from their hiding places by failure to secure their nightly repast When thus infested with mites coops had better be made into kindling wood, but In the case of good brooders thor ough scalding and treatment with kero sene and a repetition of the treatment a few days later will usually destroy all mltcs. A tenspoonful of one of the coal tar dips to a pint of kerosene will add to the effectiveness of the treatment. One part crude carbolic acid and three parts kerosene Is also effective. Above all, do not put chicks in a coop that has rcmulncd unoccupied for a period without careful cleansing. I once put a cockerel weighing over two pounds in a small vacated building. The next morning the bird lay- dead under the roost, his comb actually white, so completely had his blood been sucked by uiltes with which the building was found to he swarming. Filth In Coopt and Runwayt. You cannot expect to have healthy chickens If you do not keep the poul try houses clean and the runwnys well spaded and free from contamination. The poultry house should bo sprayed with some disinfectant so tbat tho lice may be kept down and destroyed. It is hard to keep a coop entirely free from lice, especially during the hot months, but It Is possible if you work hard enough. It is, however, a hard matter to rid your house of them once they get a good foothold. Charcoal For Poultry. A supply of finely ground charcoal U good health insurance for poultry.

DIVORCE BUG BUSY Cour Docket Holds Many Cases for Settlement by Judge Campbell From the appearance of the divorce court docket, as a result of the addi tions made to it this week by those who find married life not the rosy pathway of dreams that their roman tic minds had pictured it, Judge Campbell is to have many peculiar knots to untie. Oregon City is fast replacing the famous Reno, Nevada, as a divorce court center and for evi dence we present the long list of cases filed this week. - J. L. Osborn alleges desertion in a request for separation from Rose E. Osborn, filed on Thursday afternoon. The couple was married at Yreka, Cal., April 16, 1907 and there is one minor child, aged 7. Sarah S. Wallace had a long story to tell to the court in a complaint filed late Thursday. Mrs. Wallace seeks separation from J. T.

Ira Routledge asks a divorce from Elizabeth S. Routledge, whom he married at Juneau, Alaska, May 16, 1899. The complaint alleges cruel and ' inhuman treatment. Routledge left his wife January 4, 1916, he says, be cause of the treatment of which he complains in his action. Cruelty is the charge made against Attress M. Kirchem in a complaint filed by Augusta Kirchem on Tuesday. They were married in this county on February 10,1901, and there are two children, of which plaintiff asks cus tody. She also asks a third share in the real and personal property of de fendant, valued at $15,000, $250 attor neys' fees and $30 a month alimony. Magdalena Underwood and Willi am Underwood were married at Un derwood, Wash., on October 27, 1906. The charge made against William in a divorce complaint filed Tuesday is cruelty.

We, the Republican party, being at our wits' eud and desperate, put it up to you: For nearly four years now a Demo cratic administration has been , In power. Contrary. to every law of rea son, every principle of progress, the country Is at peace and alive nay, humming with prosperity. Business is rushing. Wages , are high. The only discontent Is the discontent of those who are reaching for bigger chunks of plenty. We are flabbergasted. All this bus happened during a period when the rest of the world has been agog, when International crises were impending on all sides, when we would have sworn only Republican statesmanship could pull the nation through. No war has engulfed us. No panic has paralyzed us. No nation has with impunity continued to Infringe upon our rights. ' We can't deny what has been done. All we can do is take our oath we could have done It better. IIow, we do not know. If only we said it loud and long enough we hoped the country would believe us. But the country Is busy, and our voices grow hoarse. We are having n hard time. Woodrow Wilson has nothing to show us but what he has accomplished. He has none of the glamour of the what-mlght-be. We, on the contrary, have our old promises uud policies, mellowed by age, but still bearing the stamp of the nation's solid interests. Protection, privilege, government by influence surely the country has not given them their last trial. Wall street is with us. Big business Is with us. But, oh, voters, we confess it, we need you. Don't keep looklug at the peace and prosperity around you Try to get our point of view. What ever Wilson lias done, the mun Is a Democrat, aud neither federul govern ment nor federal offices were meant to be forever In such bunds 1 Let's forget lssueb aud tulk as friends.

N. .1., In rejecting by uu overwhelming vote the proposal to make the suffrage movement a partisan annex of the Itupublli mi campaign was further emphasized b.v Ur. Anna Inward Klinw, "the mige of suf- fn nge," In an Interview published in Hip I'h'lmlelnhlu I'ress, a stanch Uepulillcnii organ. "The president In his speech to the convention promised all he could carry out." sn'd Dr. Shaw. "If he had promised more we would have known Mint he could not carry It out. "Not the Uepublli una alone, nor the Democrats alone, can brlnu suffniiie. If It could be done that way I would favor It. But It can't. We must get enough Democrats uud Repub licans together to do It." CANBY BUYS PLANT M. J. Lee Water System Will Be Im proved and Enlurged The Canby council has been divided for some months on the question of buying the M. J. Lee water works and system which have been in use there for years. Some members favored purchase of the Lee system and some favored the construction of an entire ly new one. The result was that the matter was given into the hands of the voters last Saturday and they au thorized the purchase of the Lee plant. At a special council meeting held" at Canby on Monday evening the alder men authorized advertisements for the sale of $6500 bond issue which was voted upon Saturday, Recently an $18,000 bond issue was sold and the money was to be applied upon the construction of a new water system, independent of the Lee prop erty. With the purchase, however, of the Lee system, with which the city of Canby acquires several miles of mains and pumps and other equip ment, the former money will bo used to improve the Lea properties. The private plant will be taken over by the city as soon as the bond issue is sold. R. L.
