the U. S. department of agri­
culture. Regular feeding, water­
ing, and attention will keep the
chicks busy and prevent them
from getting too hungry. If you
supply green feeds between the
regular grain feedings it gives
them something to do. Keep the
litter evenly distributed, as the
chicks usually scratch it into
bunches. Let the chicks get out­
doors; the bad habit of toe pick-i
ing often develops when they
are too closely confined.

A conservative and business administration is needed
we confess, but injected in that same administration
should be some push, pep, and yes, even chance, for what
progress has Oregon made in the past 10 years, in compar­
ison with some of the states along its borders?
Governor Norblad should be given the opportunity to
serve a full term. It would be Oregon’s gain.
IN THE DAY’S NEWS
It seems impossible to keep game hunters out of politics.
It is not so much the fault of the sportsmen as it is the
politicians who use them. A fine evidence in point is the
present effort to discredit Game Warden Clifford as a
means of striking at Governor Norblad though Clifford is
in no sense an appointee of the latter. Rufus Holman is
head of the Multnomah county sportsmen’s organization.
He also happens to be chairman of the Joseph-for-Gover-
ner club. The former organization is demanding the scalp
of the game warden and is sending out emissaries over
the state to arouse sentiment against him. If he should
be forced to resign, it is said that two members of the
commission will resign, making it necessary for the gov­
ernor to appoint two new members on the eve of the pri­
maries. There would be candidates for the jobs from var­
ious sections of the sthte and inevitably there would be
an aftermath of disappointment and political reprisal. It
is an indication of the strength of Norblad that the Cor­
bett and Joseph forces are directing efforts to weaken
his support.—Astoria Budget.

A.D., told the story of the Time
Candle in simple, effective style,
From a literal translation we
learn that, “Sometimes they
would not continue burning a
whole day and night, till the'
same hour that they were light-'
ed the preceding evening, from
the violence of the wind, which
blew night and day without in-1
termission through the doors and
windows of the churches, the fis-l
sures of the divisions, the plank­
ings or the wall, or the thin 11
canvas of the tents, they then
burned out and finished their
course before the appointed
time; the king considered there-'
fore by what means he might
shut out the wind, and so by a
cunning and useful invention, he
ordered a lantern to be beauti­
fully constructed of wood and
white ox horn, which, when
skillfully planed till it is thin
is no less transparent than a
vessel of glass. This lantern,! I
therefore, was wonderfully made I
of wood and horn, as we said be-11
fore, and by night a candle was I
put into it, which shone as I
brightly without as within, and '
was not extinguished by the1
wind; for the opening of the
lantern was also closed up, ac-
cording to the king’s command,
by a door made of horn.”
It was the re-discovery of this
early Latin manuscript that
caused the Hamilton Watch com-!
pany to order made replicas of |
King Alfred’s Time Candle for
their already extensive horolog-
ical collection.
One of these replicas has been'
loaned to A. L. Kullander and
is now being shown in his win-
