Our w OLDEST NEWSPAPER. istablished 1873) VALUATION OF THE AGED “Old roosters 16 or 17.’° No intention of reflee- tion upon any of our readers in this. It come: from daily editing of that Baltimore poultry mé rket re-| port—‘‘Old hens 30; old roosters 16 or 1 | Why the frightful difference in the valuation of aged fowls? The years as they go by, if enough of them, don’t make a hen any better than a rooster for table purposes. After the age of 17 or 18 years, say, there’s just as much firmness of character and tissue about a she bird as about a he bird, and yet these market fellows throw in the age indiscrimi- nately and declare a 13 or 14-cent difference. You are charged 30 cents the pound for a 19-year-old hen and oyly 16 or 17 for a nine-year-old rooster, for instance, and one caves and masticates just as easily as the other, with no difference in flavor. Maybe there’s conservation in it. The hen lays eggs. The rooster doesn't. Therefore, put the hen price so high that the folks will prefer 16c rooster. Moreover, a rooster eats more grain than a hen, and we've got to save grain. Maybe you think he doesn’t but he does. You've heard him cluck and cluck “‘Here’s something nice! Hurry! Hurry!’ and all the hens would come running up. and then he'd swal- low the morsel himself and look fat and happy. Maybe those poultry market fellows are just.red hot conservationists and taking it out of old roosters scientific like. Pie a NOW, ISN’T IT SO? When you analyze the recent Hoover order, you find much that means discipline rather than change from custom. For instance, one meatless meal every day. THE STAT! Isn't it a fact that very few families have meat on their menu three times a day? Certainly the mil- lions in agricultural pursuits do not. Certainly the very poor do not, because they cannot afford it. Meat ay is largely confined to regular pa- trons of restaurants and hotels. and, really, they are a small proportion of the total of population. Then we are to have two porkless days each week, leaving five days on which we can consume pork with a clear conscience. Anyone who must have pork more than five times a week was never in- tended for this intelligent age. Nor does the order for two porkless days demand much change in gen- eral custom. Actually to wheatlessness that smacks of revolution, and our brains tell us that there are a lot of first class sub- stitutes for wheat. We see by our alert contemp. that a man was fined $5 for driving his auto with dark lights. He shouldn't be fined. He should be allowed to exhibit the dark lights at the auto show.

There ought to be a quick cure for this condition. | Indiana editor suggests that folks having ‘‘con-| science money”’ put it into Liberty Bonds. If that editor has large influence, Indiana ought to be able to swing the next Liberty Loan all by- herself. . WORK VS THOUGHT According to Swiss papers received in this coun- try, the authorities in Germany are taking steps to provide ‘plenty of work for all females from 16 to 70 yas of age. It’s as a preventive of suicide, the idea eing that, when a woman is hauling a plow, or digging potatoes, or at other hard manual labor, she gets so tired that she goes right to sleep at night and does not lie awake thinking about how her father, husband, son or brother has been blown to pieces and buried in $bedience to the kaiser. oe An Prussia, Westphalia; Saxony and‘Bavaria the number of sticides in 1917 increased: by 16 per cent a over\previous years, and 75 per ce Be , y eannot breed rs without it is a blow at antocracy ’g pri | management has concealed from the American peo-| ple much information that it has not been possible | | to conceal from Germany.

But | when the attempt was made to draw the line between | the “pleasure vehicle’’ and the automobile used for business purposes. it began to appear that a very! small percentage of vehicles of this characters could | be classed as ‘‘ pleasure vehicles.’’ It aws found that | machines which are commonly regarded as coming | within the class of ‘‘ pleasure vehicle | were in most | instances used more or less for business purposes and | necessary to the conduct of business. | The ientific American reports the researches of | the engineering experiment department of the Towa | State college, which recently made a survey of the! traffic passing a certain point on the road between | Ames and Des Moines. This observation was made during a period of 10 consecutive days. Nineteen hundred ninety-five vehicles, 1,752 of which were motor driven and only 243 drawn by horses, carried} 561 passengers. Of these vehicles 647, including} all of those drawn by horses, were classified | farm traffie, 1,227 as interurban and only 121 as} tourist.

It makes no difference whether a man} owns an Avery tractor or not. Every-| one interested in tractor farming is | vited, and I am confident they will} ind it well worth their while.” | BORROWS BABY TO GET SUPPLY OF COAL Grimly Humorous Happenings | Noted by Agents of the Fuel __ Administration. Some of the federal fuel administra- tion’s field agents while they are busy | with the serious work in their various fields have noted some grimly humor- ous happenings. One field agent tells of a Newark (N. J.) retailer who has een supplying his regular customers with small lots of coal and he has de- clined all new business unless there was sickness in the family. He was) appealed to by a prospective customer, who demonstrated that his was a case of dire need by wheeling a delicate- | looking baby, accompanied by a pale wife, to the coal yard.. The coal he so earnestly sought was delivered, and then it was discovered that the new | customer had borrowed the baby. In the same town there was a jew- eler who took a few, days off from his regular employment afid got a job driving a coal cart for a local dealer. | His first trip out was with two tons of coal. This he promptly dumped into his own cellar, and then resigned, saying that the work was too hard | for him. Another shrewd case came before one of the Pennsylvania county fuel administrators, whose directions are that dealers shall deliver only one ton | and half-ton lots, and no coal is to be | delivered where the prospective cus- tomer has a two-weeks’ supply. It | was discovered that one man had two | cellars, connected by a long tunnel.
