DECISION HITS THOSE HAVING FULL CELLARS Folice Court Holds Man Is Guilty If He Gets Liquor of Peddler. DEFINES A “CARRIER” A “bone dry” Interpretation of the Indiana prohibition law has been made by Walter Pritchard, judge of the city court. The -decision prohibits a person from receiving liquor from a common carrier. The court holds that a person receiving whisky and other prohibited liquors from n “common carrier” Is liable to fine and Imprisonment on conviction. The first penalty to be imposed under that theory was given to John Kress, 180 Bright street, late yesterday when he was fined SSO and sentenced to thirty days on a charge of receiving five quarts of whisky from a man who brought the whisky to his home and naked Kress 1f he desired to buy some whisky. FAILED TO PROVE “COMMON CARRIER.” HE SAYS. Attorney Fred Bonlfleld. counsel representing Kress, asserted that the prosecution failed to show any evidence of sale and that the supreme court of the state had held that the presence of whisky in a person’s home is not proof that the whisky was held unlawfully unless there is evidence of sale or that the whisky was Intended to be sold. Attorney Bonifield contended that the evidence failed to show that the man who brought the whisky to the Kress home was a “common carrier" under the meaning of the statute and that no evidence -wag presented to show that the driver of the auto which contained the whisky had made arrangements with Kress to deliver it to him. Tn answering the argument ot the defense, Italph Spaan, city court prosecutor, contended that a man with an auto who went from person to person for the purpose of selling whisky was a “common carrier” within the meaning of the statute. Involves spirit OF THE LAW. “We desire to ba6e our contention on that point and are willing to let the supreme court decide it," said Mr. Spaan. “The intent and the spirit of the law is the guiding force- in its interpretation.” Judge Pritchard held that Kress was guilty of buying and accepting liquor from a “common carrier” and imposed the first penalty in Marlon county under this interpretation. This decision of Judge Pritchard comes as a blow to those who saw in the recent supreme court decision a loophole by which they might replenish their whisky supplies at their homes. Beginning today all future prosecutions in the city court against persons found with whisky in their homes will be based upon the “common carrier” clause of the state prohibition law, Mr. Spaan said.

THREE RULES IN POULTRY GAME House Hens Right, Feed Them, Keep Quarters Clean. You may read 'books, Journals and all kinds of literature on poultry culture, which will not do you any harm, but after you have read them all to succeed you must come back to the three all-important and cardinal principles, which you must follow most rigidly to succeed, says Hudson. Above all else—First, house you hen right; second, feed your hens right; third, keep their quarters clean. Show me ten people who will embed these three Injunctions thoroughly in their minds, and mixed occasionally with a little common sense, and I will show you ten people who will come through with a fair amount of success. Neglect either one of the three and failure is yours as sure as two and two make four. The word success with the backyard raiser and farmer is spelled in four let-ters—-eggs. Ninety per cent of you who have a backyard, or farm flock, keep them solely for the eggs they produce. -I- -I- -1Housing your hens right is the most important thing of all. I don't mean by this that birds should be kept in a iiothouse or heated quarters during the winter or a cold storage plant during the summer. Hens can stand a lot of cold in winter find a lot of heat in the summer, but they should never be allowed outside range in the winter or bad,, cold weather. Your house should be large enough to accommodate all your layers inside during the winter period and each hen should have four to five square feet of working space to do well. The lightweight breeds can do nicely with four square feet, but the heavy breeds should have five square feet. For example, if your house is Bxlo, one-story, which means eighty square feet, this will take care of twenty Xeghorns or any similar lightweight breeds, but for Reds, Orpingtons, Barred Rocks or any other heavy breed, do not put more than flf teen or sixteen in this sized bouse for the winter, unless your house should be a two-story affair and the birds have full range of both floors at all times. In that case you can double the number mentioned. Always face your house to the south, if possible, and see to it that there are plenty of windows on the smith side, and one on the east will not hurt. Your hens can not do well cooped up in dark quar ters. They must have light enough to see to scratch grain, which should be scattered In deep straw litter, five to seven inches deep being best. Housing your birds right will save you a lot of extra work and will also save you considerable feed. If fchey are not housed right so that they are comfortable, you need not look for eggs, no matter how much feed you may give them. An old saying, but a pretty good one: “A comfortable hen is a singing hen, and a singing ben is most usually a laying hen.” If nil the farmers would take the same care of their flocks in winter that they do with their dairy cows, they would get two eggs where they are getting one, and in many cases not get- . ting any. You clean out your eow and horse stable every morning, then why not clean ofT the. dropping board of your chicken coop just once a week twice a week is better? ... .]. .|.

I have been able so get my best results by the following system of feeding: I have a flock of seventy-four White Leghorns, in a 14x15, two-story house. In the morning I give them sixpounds of clean scratch grain, and scatter it in deep straw fitter and lei them work in this up to 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Then I put into feed hoppers twelve pounds of good laying mush. This feed contains plenty of meat meal and dry buttermilk, mixed with corn meal, wheat middlings, bran and ground barley. Aside from this I give them a little green stuff every day, plenty of fresh water, grit, ehareoai and oyster shell. This system or feeding brought down to twenty-five birds means two pounds for scratch feed and four pounds of laying raasli. Now, don't misunderstand me, T am not. saying that, this particular system used by the writer is positively right, but am merely giving you the system that T use and the results that I have obtained. For the month of December and up to Jan. 25, this year, the seventy-four "White Leghorns have produced an average of a little better than forty-three eggs a day, and I am not feeding any egg-lay-ing stimulant of any kind or character, and my birds have not been outside of their coop silica November 15. The dropping board is cleaned off every week and Is sprayed with a good disinfectant at the time of cleaning. The

VETERAN ON HAND WITH FINE ENTRIES I ' Frank P. Johnson, Indianapolis veteran poultry fancier, with one of the finest Light Brahmas at the poultry show in Tomlinson hall.

“Poultry shows—Frank P. Johnson.” The combination words are almost mentioned in the same breath in Indianapolis when the subject of chickens is brought up. In fact, nationally one might even say much for the veteran poultry fancier. When the 1920 poultry show in Tomlinson hall began today the Johnson type of artlstocratic fowls, Light Brahmas, were real fine dirt or litter is cleaned from the scratching floors every two weeks. My hens did not come from any highlaying strain and I do not claim their egg production is any record, but it proves to me that you can be successful if you will house your birds with the right amount of care, feed them right and keep their quarters clean. -!- -I- -iI find it pays to be mighty careful

among the most admired of the exhibits. Really, early yesterday morning, the Johnson’s birds arrived first on the scene in the big auditorium. “Got up at 4 o’clork today and was as full of pep as a school boy,” declared Mr. Johnson, as he proudly exhibited his chicken s. Three score and ten years, the allotpd span of man, have come and gone for in buying mash feeds to see to it that, they contain meat meal, buttermilk and contain at least 18 per cent protein, and not over 7 per cent fiber. W hen it runs heavier than tills in fiber, especially when it carries 9 and 10 per cent or over, it is‘positive proof that there is a lot of waste material there for which you are paying and Is of no material use In the feed, only as a filler.

Mr. Johnson, and moro than two-score of his allotment has been spent in studying and raising blue ribbon graded chickens, always Light Brahmas. “Yes. Light Brahmas."

POULTRY SHOW ENTRIES HEAVY Largest Exhibit on Record Promised for Indianapolis. The poultry and pet stoek show which opened at Tomlitison hall today for a five days’ run. Is in many respects the best show ever staged in Indianapolis. There are 181 exhibitors, representing thirteen states. There are 500 more entries In poultry than last yea-r and the quality is in keeping with the increased entry. The state meeting of the Light Brahma. White Wyandotte find Buff Rock clubs has brought out big entries in all three varieties, while the national meeting of the Silver Wyandotte club has brought out the largest elitry ever made by this variety at any national show, there being 203 birds of this variety entered. The barred, white and partridge Plymouth Rocks are out in force, with many famous winners at former shows in competition. The single-eomb Rhode Island Red entry is the largest ever caged in this city, and nnusual interest is manifested among the owing to some of the Madison Square Garden winners being entered here. Golden Wyandottes and black *Langshans, a show in themselves, with the finest entry of dark Brahmas ever exhibited in Indianapolis, are coming. The Leghorn show is not so good as in former years, the whites especially being below standard. There is a good show of bantams and rabbits, and an exceptional exhibit of water fowls. Indianapolis has for the last forty years been the battle ground for the barred rock fanciers, and a winning hero in this variety carries with it the greatest advertising value of any win that can be made outside'of New York and Chicago. C. E. Spaugb, one of the best known breeders of this variety, lias been selected to award the prizes in this class
