MUNICIPAL BOND SSUES ARE TO BE CONTROLLED

Lsue of $100,000 or More Will Be Passed Upon by U. S. Board.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Every muidcipal bond issue "of $100,000 or more hereafter will bo passed by the Federal Reserve Board's Capital Issue Committee before being floated. By reducing today from $250,000 to 5100.00Q the minimum size of municipal issues which it will consider, the .oramittee extended its influence over ieveral times more municipal bond issues than heretofore. The committee found recently, after analyzing pending applications for approval of proposed issues, that the great bulk of municipal bonds were offered in blocks of less than $250,000, and therefore were not subject to the committee's restrictive influences. Federal reserve agents of the 12 reserve banks, who also act as Chairmen of the Subcommittees of the capital ' Issue body in their respective districts, will come to Washington for a conference Tuesday, and the general operation of the new voluntary system of regulation of securities issues will be discussed. In a circular of instructions to applicants for the committee's approval of contemplated issues, the committee and its advisory body, headed by Allen B. Forbes, explained that the purposes and circumstances surrounding each issue must bo described fully ia the application.

This is necessary, particularly if

funds are needed for extensions or improvements relating directly to war

production or for fulfillment of any

national state or local governmental

requirements. "In all cases," said the Instructions, "full reasons should be given why the proposed Issues cannot be postponed until after the war or why the necessity !s greater than the paramount need of the National Government in conserving the financial resources, materials and labor of the country for the war." i Details concerning capitalization and financial condition of a company are required in connection with applications for issuance of stock. For state, county or municipal issues the committee requires a copy of the bill, resolution or ordinance under which they were authorized. The committee today announced that it is working with the Federal Bureau of Fublic Roads in determining what contemplated road construction this year is necessary for urgent military or economic reasons. Most roads to which the bureau heretofore has planned to contribute will be built even under the capital issues restrictions, it is said, since they have been selected carefully on the basis of their economic importance. The support of State Highway Commissioners was enlisted at a recent conference with the Capital Issues Committee, and they will report soon to the Public Roads Bureau an outline of their respective curtailed roadbuilding program for the year. In normal times highway construction and maintenance in the United States call for an outlay of about $300,OOO.OoO a year. Officials are inclined to the view that this sum will not be curtailed greatly this year, but that it will be spent on road vitally necessary for transportation of war materials. Projects for building of roads which cannot be completed for more than a year probably will be given unfavorable consideration, since the Capital Issues Committee is basing its verdicts on the usefulness of projects completed this year. In other words, it i3 acting on the assumption that the war will not last more than a year longer. Otherwise nearly all capital expendl4 tures would bo classed as necessary and the value of credits priority would be dissipated.

BETTER BREEDERS BETTER RESULTS (By H. M. Lackie, Iowa State Agricultural College.) Whether or not better poultry is raised next season will depend primarily upon the kind of stock that Is used for breeding. Every baby chick is entitled to be 'well born,' and unless its parents are strong, vigorous, hard and highly resistant to disease, a relatively "poor hatch" of weak and puny chick3 is sure to result. One of the most frequent causes of poor breeders. Chicks hatched from poor breeding stock grow slowly, lack energy to range widely, mature late, and do not reach the size of good strong birds. The pullets fail to lay during the winter and generally do not produce enough to pay for their feed. If

WEAK BIRDS Head Long, narrow, shallow. Beak Lone, straight, sharp. Eyes ............. Dull and sunken. Comb .Undeveloped, pale. Back Narrow. Breast ..... Sloping, sharp. Legs Long, bone fine. Toes Long, toenails sharp. Feathers Rough, dull Activity ......... Listless, dull.

Health Evidence of disease

If flocks were rigidly culled out and weak fowls eliminated they would not have an opportunity to reproduce themselves and stamp their weaknesses upon the flock next year. A poor male can do more harm in a flock in one year than can be remedied in five, and it is much better to secure from a good breeder two good males to place in a breeding pen with the best females than to buy ten or fifteen poor

the farm flock is to be improved only such fowl as show size, vigor and egg producing qualities desired should be used as breeders. Twenty-five good females confined In a roomy pen with a couple of good males will furnish eggs for incubation which will produce the kind of chicks that will live, if they get half a chance, and will grow eat Into big fellows worth a good round sum on the market The pullets from such a mating will mature rapidly and be in condition to produce eggs when the temperature is low and the price is bighIn selecting birds for a breeding pen strength and vigor are of first importance. This applies to both males and females and the following characteristics may be relied upon as indicating whether or not the bird is fit to use: a STRONG BIRDS

one at little above market price. Put the money into a few stardard-bred fowls of better quality and mate them

with the best hens and the results

will speak for themselves. Those who have tried the breeding pen once seldome go back to the old system of flack selection of hatching eggs. Better eggs, better hatches, chicks easier to raise and much better quality of stock when mature are the results which follow a practice of this sort

EVANS VILLE, Ind., Feb. 25. The trial of the three suits filed here to test the state prohibition law was set for next Wednesday by Judge Fred M. Hostetter in Superior Court this afternoon, after Lane B. Osborn, prosecuting attorney and defendant in the

suits, filed an answer in general denial I to the complaints. j Prosecutor Osborn has placed the ; question of appeal following the suits ', directly up to Ele Stansbury, state at-1 torney general. In a letter to the at-! torney general he asks whether he j

shall appeal the case. Attorney Mason Employed W. C. Mason," an attorney of Rockport, will represent Prosecutor Osborn in the trial today. Mr. Mason is regarded as one of the most capable attorneys in southern Indiana. Prosecutor Osborn's latest action signifies that he will not take the advice of the state attorney general and ask for a change of venue. He said that he feels it would not be proper for him to allege that the people of the county are prejudiced against the state or that the breweries have undue influence with the court.

Dog Plays Tag With . Policemen of Twin Townships and Gets Away LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25. This is the tale of a dog. He is a very bright dog he outwitted the police forces of Santa Monica and Venice. His name is Major and he belongs to George Holland. Mr. Holland's house is on the boundary line between Venice and Santa Monica. When Major trots out on the front lawn he is in Venice. When he buries bones in the back yard he is in Santa Monica. Near the Marine avenue home of the Hollands is the Merritt Jones hotel. Certain of the guests of the Merritt Jones say that Major is a good dog in his way, but that he howls too much. Also he howls too late. So they complained to the Venice police. Two officers strolled up to the front door of the Holland residence. Major was playing about on the lawn when they approached. It may have been purely accidental, but there was a mischievous gleam in his eye as he trotted around into the backyard and Santa Monica. The Venice force whistled and coaxed, but Major remained without their jurisdiction. They withdrew, passing the

well known buck by telephone to Santa Monica officers. 'Twas but a few minutes till two of Santa Monica's finest approached stealthily and climbed over a fence Into the Holland back yard. Major wagged his tail in a friendly and yet knowing fashion and trotted around on the front lawn in Venic. Santa Monica officers can whistle also, and they did. But Major rolled over and

over on the green grass in the greatest content.
