State department officials gave ptron:,' indications of this today and Hated that when the United States at the beginning of the war declared that passenger ships carrying defense runs of small caliber would be allow ed to enter and leave American ports and would not bo classed as war ves pcls, submarine warfare had not do i'lop'.d to its present stage. Oliciiils pointed out that a -1.7 gnu, tmcli as is reported lo' have been mounted on tho Hesperian, is of suf ficient si7.e to sink a submarine Proof of this fact, officials think, might be voustrucd as a purpose to challenge the German blockadvrs.

The city or suburban man who keeps pigeons either for pleasure or ok a source of some profit will find much practical information in the new Pal mers' Itulletin No. (IS I, mumIi rm- ing, recently issued the noiiltr' specialists of the United States de partment of agrieulturo. To the eit oner the bulletin offers praotie suggestions as to bieeds, lion-mi. care and feeding of ' eons to pro duee H'-unliH for his own (able or po---sihly for sale. It can be had lor the asking. The bulletin opens with a strmv caution to thoo thinking about rai ing pigeons for profit not to e.xoecl them i be an atilomntie "old mine. As a result of inquiries addressed to hunilreds of commercial raisers of pigeons, the dctiartmcut's iuvestigator finds that an annual profit of .fl.."l) for a ptiir of breeders is considered good. It is pointed out also flint pigeons cannot be loft to thonmelvcs if they are to be of profit, and that profitable squab raising calls for good hrcedni" stock, special experience, hiisiucstt ability and a good, stead market. To quote the auther: "There have been many failures in squab plants, as the profits in this husiuesh have frequently been greatly overesti mated and the care of the stock wrongly rcgnrded as something verv easy in which anyone could succeed." Mnny people can keep pigeons suc cessfully as a side issue, although this requites constant oversight and direful attention to details. As the price paid for squabs N largely affected by their six.o and color of thoir flesh, the squab raiser should be very eaioful about select ing breyds, Tho homer seems to be the most popular bleed for squab raising, but the Cnriit'iiiix pigeon, u larger bird, has recently become pop ular. Several otlior varieties ol larger pigeons are used, especially in crossing with tho homer and Gar neaux, The runt is one of the larg est, but is not as proljfic or as good a breeder or feeder as the homer. Va riety alone, however, does not guar antee successful squabs, Hird dif fer individually and they should be selected for their pruduclivtj power, quality and si.o of squabs and their ability to feed and rear off-ming. llreeders with dark-coloicd kiiii, logs or beak mav gie a poorer mar ket quality of squuh than those bnd from birds which hae white or pink ihli-wlnte skin and Injlit eoloicd h- HAND THAT ROCKED CRADLE NOW IS FILLING DEATH CELLS BEETS BRING MONEY TO UTAH FARMERS A C Wordcii has received a letter from J.

I I i ,i Wfaeft Is a cigarette Sensible? A cigarette Is not sensible for you if it loaves your tamo and your smoke-hunger a little bit unsatisfied. nor if it bothers your throat or tongue nor if it mnkesyou "feel moan" after smoking your usual number. None of these things will happen to you if you find (and stick to) the right cigarette. But the cigarette that is right for ono man may nor; be right for another. For instance, Fatimas may not just suit your taste-rin spite of the fact that they are the best-sailing cigarette costing over 5c. Fatimas ARE coo and friendly to tho throat and tongueand they will NOT make you "feel mean" after aBioking all you want. So they surely siblo for you except pos sibly fcr the taste. And when it comes to that, it will be mighty strange if you don't like Fatima's taste they couldn't sell so fast if the taste weren't extra gooc, could they? Why not get Fatimas this very day and find out for yourself how sensible a cigarette can really be? vO o lZ jfb r w rirnu - r --- -.' n, ?. 33UKpSfsauU im a. . lu.imj i u i hi tut .... f,j . h S?w9ffi!PX?fEm lfc Jjgg THE TURKISH BLENPgj ffSj i IjPioarette cfk r m UA w i (l iDisttnctiwly Individual JjKJ FATIMAS z fix- -.1k- fc M 815 Sales Increase Dunns the past six months, the sales of "Chain Tread" Tires have increased 815 per cent.
