NATIONAL COMMITTEE TO MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY

Chairman Hilles Says No Candidate For Presidency Shall Be Played as a Favorite. Washington, D. C.—The republican national committee is going to keep hands off the contest tor the presidential nomination, next year. A pledge to this effect has recently gone out to numerous persons who are interested in the party’s preconvention campaign. Charles D. Hilles, the chairman of the national committee, who is now living in New York, has notified the employes of the committee at headquarters here that under no circumstances must the committee as an organization display any favoritism in any mention that might be made of the possible candidates for the nomination- Recently the national committee, under the direction of Chairman Hilles, has-been doing a good deal of publicity work. Letters dealing with political issues are now being written for use in the country press. Under the instructions that have been issued, these political letters must not deal with possible condidates for the presidential nomination. The instructions have gone so far as to make it possible for employes of the committee to write interviews with men who are likely to be candidates for the' nomination. In explanation of the instructions that have gone out, the statement is made that the committee desires to keep itself absolutely free from the contest for the nomination.

There probably is not much the committee could do in the way of helping any candidate tor the nomination, but men who are interested in the welfare of the party point out that it could, and "would, undoubtedly, complicate party affairs f it should undertake to mix in. As far as the members of the committee con now se* there will be ro excuse for a meeting of the committee until next December, when it will come together to take the preliminary steps toward calling the 1916 nominating convention. In the meantime, it is pointed out, members of the committee will have the privilege, as individuals, of participating in the preconvention campaign. With some eight or ten men likely to permit the use of their in the contest for the nomination, the national committee will, it is foreseen, split up over the nomination. Persons who have the welfare of the party at heart, say this is as it should be Republicans are very generally satisfied with the outlook which is for a “free-for-all” contest for the nomination There is now the general understanding that the republicans of many of the northern states shall be encouraged to enter their favorite sons in the contest. The carrying out of a program of this sort means, of course, that the convention will be in position to do what seems to it to be the best thing. If the general plan of procedure that has been agreed upon by common consent is carried out, there will be but few instructed delegates outside of the favorite son states. Some of the most farseeing men in the party" are even urging that the delegates from the south shall be permitted to come t to the convention absolutely free to do what seems to be best for the party after the situation shall have been carefully canvassed.

FEDERAL DEFICIT AGAIN THREATENED

Cabinet Appalled at Shortage of Eighty Millions—Alternatives Are Considered. Washington, D. C.—A threatened federal deficit of .more than $80,000,000 during the present flseal year brought all available members of the cabinet and their assistants into conference with Secretory of the Treasury McAdoo today. The administration is permitted two alternatives to wipe out the deficit, the passage of additional revenue legislation or a marked cut in expenditures. Pending appropriation bills, which include all but one of the regular supply bills, were discussed at the conferenceThe government, deficit today is $70,758,975, as against $19,526,580 the same day last year The fiscal year ends June 30. At the present rate the deficit for the year would fbe $120,000,000. The next five months may prove to be better revenue producers, however. The deficit ds attributed to inaccurate estimates of the revenues to be derived from the income tax, similar mistakes respecting the revenue producing power of the war tax, the effect of the European war on imports, reckless appropriations by congress and increasing cost of governmental operations. kSecretary McAdoo realized the seriousness of the fiscal situation some time ago, and called Chairman Underwood, of the house ways and means committee, into conference to propose a new war tax. Underwood promptly balked at the suggestion of a neiw war tax measure on the ground that neither the house nor the country would stand for it. He promised to urge members of the lower house to eut appropriations, providing Secretary McAdoo would obtain a similar agreement with the senate. As an alternative to a mew war tax it is proposed that $240,000,000 of Panama bonds be sold- It is argued that the government has built the Panama canal largely from current revenues, when it was intended it should be built from the proceeds of bonds, and that the sale of bonds would now only replenish the general fund to offset what has been spent from itThe estimated deficit does not take into account the $40,000,000 carried by the pending ship purchase bill. This money would bfe made immediately available if the bill wee passed. The funds provided by other pending appropriation bills would fall on the next fisdar year. If the ship purchase bill is passed and the existing deficit continues ,to increase at the present rate the treasury may be found $160,000,000 behind on July 1.

LIGHT BRAHMA COMING BACK

Distinct Interest Shown in the Big Bird Famed for Table Use and Good Layer. The Light Brahma is the oldest pure-bred variety of poultry in America. It was introduced into New England from Asia more than sixty years ago. Mr. I. K. Fetch, of South Natick, Mass., has bred Light Brahmas continuously for nearly sixty years. This veteran poultry breeder, writer' and judge has been breeding poultry for seventy years, and is past eighty years of age. He breeds several other varieties, but Insists that the Light Brahma is the best variety of all and the most beautiful. Many will not agree with him, but there is a common saying, “Once a Light Brahma breeder, always a Light Brahma breeder." There seems to be evidence that the Light Brahma is regaining something of its old-time popularity. At the recent Boston show there were 227 Light Brahmas in line and the quality was said to be the best ever seen in America. New England is and has always been the hotbed of Light Brahma interest. This is the largest of all varieties of poultry. Cocks weigh 12 pounds each, cockerels 10 pounds, hense 9% pounds, pullets 8 pounds. Greater weights are often attained. I once saw a cock weighing 17 pounds. Such extremes of size, however, are not desirable. The above standard weights are more desirable. But Brahmas should be large. A small Brahma is an absurdity. In spite of their great size the Light Brahma is not a “big, awkward fellow with feathers on his feet.” He is not so sprightly as a Leghorn, is rather slow in his movements, but he is not ungraceful, and in the opinion of many who do not breed this variety the Light Brahma is the most aristocratic of all folws. When right in size, ucolor and shape he is an imposing show bird. The black and white colors are surely attractive. The neck or hackle feathers of the male are long and sweep back over a portion of the back. These " there are laced with blac :. The breast is white on the surface. The back is white, but towards the tail it merges into the beautifully striped feathers of the saddle, which should be long and abundant. The tail proper should be a glossy greenish black. The toe feathering should be abundant and should be black and white.

Most Light Brahmas are too light incolor, often faded. The color should be intense. The beauty of the color lies in the sharp contrast of the white and black. “Strong” color is desirable in young birds because the tendency is to a loss of color in breeding. Moreover young birds that are just right in color are likely to be too light when two or three years old. The shape of the Brahma is peculiar to this breed. The body is quite long, the breast full, the legs of fair length, the back is broad '’nd rather flat in front with a concave sweep to the tail, which is carried moderately high and is broad. The head in mature sneejmens is very broad above the eye. The comb is a “pea” comb. It Is low, with three nearly parallel ridges of five rounded points each. The color of the eye is bright red. The feathering of legs and toes should be abundant, but not so abundant as in the Cochin. In fact, the Brahma is quite unlike the Cochin in type and in feathering. The Brahma matures slowly and it is not seen at its best uptil it is a year or more old. The cljicks are very hardy, as is the Brahma. Light Brahmas are used more than any other fowls for capons in the eastern markets. They are also favorites as roasters at six to eight months of age. There is no better table fowl than the Light Brahma. Cocks and hens two or three years old, if properly fattened, are tender and of fine flavor. Because of size, birds of this variety are poor flyers, and usually can be confined by a fence three feet high, hence they are a favorite with many who have only a city lot. They bear confinment well. On account of their size, their low combs and their abundant feathering they do not buffer from cold winter weather, and are good winter layers. The experience of some' is that they are almost nonsetters. This is true certainly of some strains.

Liver troubles are often caused by over-feeding and lack of exercise. Give the affected fowls a good physic of some kind and follow with a liver tonic. Give a limited diet for a few days, and if possible induce the fowls to take a lot of exercise. If they are too far gone to scratch, better kill and burn their bodies. Unless a bird is very valuable there is not much profit doctoring thesick ones, which have to be fed with a spoon. Growing cockerels should now be separated from the pullets, and the former given an extra allowance of feed. They will need this additional amount more than will the pullets in order that they can be kept growing. All the old stock that is not wanted should now be disposed of before they go into molt Lighter foods are best these warm days. Heavy food like corn heats the blood. , Already the fowls are assuming a rusty appearance. * It is getting near their molting season.
