The directors voted to create a so- cial membership to the club for the payment of dues at one dollar a month, the initiation fee to be re- bated to such memberships. The so- cial member will enjoy all privileges of the club, but will not participate in the equity of the club’s property. A committee consisting of G. W. Harnwell, Attorney M. J. Brown, A. M.

Practically all members would be willing to pay the two-dollar fee if it meant the life of the club, and be- cause it is necessary to increase the revenue, the majority have con- cluded that they would rather take additional social memberships at $1 than to pay the $2 for a single mem- bership. The committee will com- mence work at once. A fifteen min- utes’ canvass by one of the members Thursday resulted in securing twen- ty-seven social memberships. The aim of the committee is to secure a membership of not less than three hundred. Rooms Improved. Work of rearranging the club be taken up at once.

Begins With Coop. After an introduction by John Harris, president of the poultry as- sociation, in which he stated that Mr. Brown having judged at the last two fairs and the December poultry show, hardly needed an introduction to his audience, Mr. Brown began his address with the construction of a chicken coop. He later spoke of the hatching, brooding, feeding and ex- ercise of chickens. Through hand sketched tions, he enumerated the points essential to the chicken’s com- fort, in the construction of the chick- en coop. The use of straw thrown loosely on the rafters to absorb the moisture and aid in ventilation was his most importance suggestion of house construction. ! Must Be Comfortable. {. In speaking of the points of advan- tage in building coops he cited the fact that heat and comfort was neces- sary to make good egg records dur- ing winter months. eral things that are necessary to make good egg records in winter,” said Mr. Brown. “The chickens must be comfortable, they must be good laying breeds and must be hatched in the early spring. “If a chicken is hatched after Ap- ril it is an absolute impossibility for iit to lay. A chicken for good lay- |ing purposes should be matured by {August, although such breeds as Min- lorcas, Leghorns and such breeds do | not need as much help and nourish- ment, ranging, etc., as others. E Too Much Food. ! “There is one point on which many p:hicken raisers make a great mis- itake. A chicken can be given the iright amount of food and still be {given too much, or it can be given the right amount of food and not be |given encugh. This is determined | by the amount of work or scratching jmust be done to get its feed. It is {always well to have hay, sand, straw excelsior on the floor of the coop in which the chicken must secratch to get its food. | Feed Milk. i “In feeding a goodly amount. of kimmed milk is of great advantage, | still if this cannot be obtained a rab- ibit, fish or some such meat is a good isuhstitution. However, it is not of igood principals to feed them musk- Erat or skunk, as such fiesh might fla- vor the eggs. Grain such as wheat screenings, oats, barley, etc. ,are al- so very essential in the feeding. If jonly one grain can be secured add plants such as cabbage, carrots, beets, boiled potatoes or the like for green illustra- or tion, gave an address last evening at.| various | “There are sev-| GHURGH GONFERENGE T0 BE HELD AT NYMORE The Fosston precinct of the Free Lutheran church will hold a confer- ence at Nymore and Frohn next week.

INVADE MEXICO President Wilson Orders Troopers to Enter Country and “Get” Villa. SIXTEEN AMERICANS KILLED IN RAID Another Attempt is Made at Colum- bus, New Mexico; Bandits Driven Back. BULLETIN Washington, March 10.—Am- erican troops are being sent into Mexico after Villa, President ‘Wilson officially announced this afternoon. At a cabinet meet- ing it was decided to authorize the sending of a punitive fqrce of 8,000 men. The single ob- Jjective is to capture Villa. Un- confirmed reports this afternoon state that Villa is dead and that Carranza has been imprisoned. However, all efforts to communi- cate with Carranza have failed. ‘“Hang Villa to a tree,” was the statement made by Repre- sentative Miller of Minnesota in the house this afternoon. John Lind, former United States envoy to Mexico, in a statement issued in Minneapolis says that the Villa excursion was financed and inspired by interests on this side. BULLETIN St. Paul, Minn., March 10.— Governor Burnquist and Ad- jutant General Wood of the Min- nesota National guard are con- ferring this afternoon on plans for calling out the state militia if necessary. March' 10.—*“Crush Villa,” is the American slogan that must take the place of the former slo- gan, “Watchful waiting.” A com- plete cleanup of bandits promises in- definite fighting for the American border army, it was stated here to- day. Intervention or invasion of Mexico is not considered but merely the promise to campaign against ban- ‘Washington, | ditry. Senator Mc(fumber today intro- {duced a resolution directing the 1 president to send sufficient troops to Mexico to quell the bandit activities. Pressure is being brought upon President Wilson to adopt a “Villa dead or alive” policy. It was pointed out that the United States could concentrate 6,000 Am- erican troops with special equipment at Columbus, N. M., in 24 hours. These troops are at present stationed along the border. Guns Fail to Work. Reports that the American ma- chine guns failed to work at a criti- cal time aroused intense interest here today. An investigation is certain. Officials claim that the guns were in good condition. General Funston on the Mexican border in a message here urgently recommended that American troops he given authority to pursue the Mex- lican bandits into Mexico. A pnitive force will be allowed to follow the {bandits. ! Raids Continue. | Columbus, N. M., March 10.—Bor- der raids on American ranchers and farmers continued this morning. The Villaistas again crossed the United States border in several places be- tween Columbus and Hachita loot- ing ranch houses and driving off the livestock. Buildings were destroy- ed. No Americans were murdered and officials claimed that the invaders were cleared off American soil be- fore noon. It is thought that there are 4,000 bandits within easy reach of the American border. “The Americans will suffer for Mr. Wilson’s act in recognizing bewhis- kered Carranza,” Villa is reported to have stated after his defeat yes- terday. Sixteen Americans were killed in the raid yesterday. They were eight civilians and eight soldiers. Other American civilians and soldiers were injured. It is estimated that Villa’s losses were about 150 killed and 200 | wounded. !*Mrs. A.
