ASHLAND TIDINGS Thursday, October 17, 1912. PAGE SIX WHY GEORGE APE IS FOR ROOSEVELT FAMOUS HUMORIST TELLS GRAPHICALLY WHY HE FAVORS THE PRO GRESSIVE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT TELLS OF TRIP. Mm. Ulen Writes of Trip to Crater Lake and Coast. Among the first to drop the plow when the 1912 "call to arms" came the other day was George Ade. He was on the farm at Brook, Ind., and the particular call that was sent him was the printer's call for copy. Ade began newspaper work on the Chicago papers in the early nineties, and he has ever since been intro ducing himself to a constantly wid ening circle of readers. "Artie," "Pink Marsh." "Doc Horn," "Fables in Slang," "The Girl Proposition," "Breaking Into Society," are a few of the books which have brought fame to his farm and requests for autographs. In 1902, as a pastime, Ade took to writing plays and the phenomenal run of his "Sultan of Sulu," "Peggy From Paris," "The Shogun," "The County Chairman" and "The College Widow," in succession, gave him popularity oil the stage and in the orchestra. Since then, Ade has con tinued putting down his observations, in the form of stories and plays, and nowadays when he isn't doing this he is flirting with the soil in Indiana, at least when he isn't to be found with his friend John McCutcheon. But that is another story. Here are a few random observa tions concerning the new progressive party and its candidate for presi: dent: ble changes in our scheme of govern ment, all founded on common sense and fair play.. You will seldom meet in the north an old man ready to ad mit that, he favored slavery fifty years ago," Even the free silver hosts have strangely vanished from the earth. Twenty years from now you will have difficulty in spotting the man who raved against the progress ive platform in 1912. To the Tidings: I thought Ivouli like to tell you something about our trips, one to Crater Lake and one to the ocean. Ed Ulen and wife and their two daughters, Oessie and Ann, and Will, our youngest boy, came from Portland and we got nr. $500 FOR.

Mr. Ulen and Daisy rode to the top and part way around it, so you may know the roads were in pretty good condition. Ed I'len took his two daughters in a boat and went over to Wizard Ishland and were gone all day. Mr. Peachey and Will went fishing and came back with eight or ten fine rainbow trout. The next morning we thought we would start for home, but the horses got away and we did not find them till noon. But we did not care; we were all having a good time and were in no hurry, but we finally got started-homeward, stopping along as Teaching Poul trying By Moving Pic tures. The latest application of moving pictures to education is that which gives lively demonstration of good and bad methods of poultry raising. Professor James Dryden, in charge of poultry husbandry at the Oregon Agricultural College experiment sta tion, conceived the idea of making a moving picture show at the state fair as attractive educationally as it is as an amusement. Many a farmer had his eyes open to the financial "value of the farm flock, while his wife received new courage in her at tempt to supplement the slender household purse with "egg money." In the film story John has no use for chickens and forbids his wife to feed them from the wheat bin. He 'shoos' them out of his way, and '8ic8" the dog on them. But Mary steals the wheat and gets her eggs, and he Is no wiser. When he goes to town he takes her along and gives her 50 cents to spend. When he is not looking she puts a basket of eggs under the seat. On their return home She shows- her purchases and he is filled with astonishment. 'Did you buy all that wlth 5C cents?" he asks. "No! The eggs bought it. But see what the 36 hens did last year!" she says, showing her account book.

"Daniel Decatur Enir mett and I quit Stickney's circus in the south ln 1859 and- went back to New York, dead broke," says Hart. "We looked around a while, but there was no engagement in sight. The weather was beginning to get nippy, in sharp contrast toythe south ern nights we had been experiencing and Enimett's clothes' were thread bare. By George, said Dan one night, 'no engagement, no overcoat. I wish I was in Dixie.' The phrase lingered in his mind and that night he went to his room and wrote the words of the now famous 'Dixie.' A little later he got a barnstorming company together and went through the south, singing the song to banjo accompaniment. It took like wild fire. When he got to New Orleans he had the first printed copy of the song struck off." Hart Bays he has this first copy with him, headed by a crude woodcut reproduction of a dark-complexioned angel." Total $67.92 Sold 300 dozen eggs 75.00 John thinks hard, and with the help of a college poultry bulletin Mary converts him to her viewpoint. No more worrying the hens by the dog; no more stealing wheat. A feed bucket takes the place of her apron, and clean ground is furnished for the hen house. He builds a mov able colony house and increases the flock to a 100 good hens which Billy tends out of- school hours. The daily ration is 7 pounds of bran and 3 of middlings mixed with buttermilk at morning; wheat and some oats after school; kale hung where they can peck'at it, and beef scraps and buttermilk where they can get at it all the time. They are kept busy scratching in clean straw litter. "The hens will raise the mortgage if you will let them scratch," says a motto introduced between sections of the film. Half a million dollars a year are lost to the poultry keepers in Oregon by poor methods of handling and marketing eggs. The loss in the United States is estimated at $50, 000,000. In addition the consump tion of eggs Is greatly curtailed." This statement is emphasized by a film showing graphically how the stolen, nest and broody hen are re sponsible for millions of dollars loss. Dicky crawls under the barn and brings out a hatful of eggs, and he takes as many more from broody hens on nests. John takes several weeks' eggs to town eight miles away, when it is 104 degrees in the shade; and the eggs are not covered. Hatching temperature is 103 de grees. Before the eggs reach the consumer the broody hen sits on them a while, the sun shines on them a while, the railroad rides on them a while, the storekeeper broods over them a while, and the consumer raves over them quite a while. Thus," says another motto, "the producer shows his love for his best friend, the consumer, and the con sumption of eggs is curtailed." The disgust bred by bad eggs on the breakfast table and consequent loss of appetite for eggs is shown in a humorous film. Another lesson shewn is the ad visability of killing old hens that have lost their teeth. They are not good layers, nor good for Cooking. A vivid Instance is shown by a film in which a man Bits down -with glee to a fricassee, only to find it impos sible to cut it at all with a knife. The college flock of fine layers, with the champion "Miss Corvallis," was shown on the screen, with the O. A. C. trap-nest method of picking out the good layers and recording the output, and a "threshing scene," with hens scratching a bundle of grain. The film ended with pictureB showing how baby chicks are hatched froni the shell. Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute djrectly to the occurrence of capillary bron chitis and pneumonia, use cough, medicines that contain codine, mor phine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain' Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That Is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has a world-wide reputation for its cures. . It contains no morphine or other sed ative.
