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:

ment, all founded on common sense
and fair play.. You will seldom meet
in the north an old man ready to ad

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.

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. This is a page:

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. .
