American Front Gets First Bath of Genial Spring Sunshine

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN France, March 16 (By the Associated Prei). After weeks of rain, enow, wind and tnuky weather, there came to the American front today its first bath of genial spring sunshine. The skies were cloudless and In the moderate temperature that prevailed sweatem were discarded by the men for the first time since last summer, while in the villages where they are billeted and In the cantonments in the training area the camps weru decorated with rolls of bedding being given an airing. Men and horses, basked in the sunshine In the streets and on the hillsidesa grateful experience after the winter damp chill. Everywhere one could see equipment hung out to dry, tent flaps and hut windows open and hospital patients breathing the sweet spring air. Meanwhile the transport work was being expedited by the rapidly drying roads. Ia tho training areas the fullest advantage was taken of the open weather the ofTlcers crowding the men to will- : ingly renewed efforts to make them fit for front, line service. Planet Sprout In Flocks I Under the sunshine and the still at.'mosphere airdomes all along the line ; sprouted flocks of planes, both on trial .and on serious missions,-and everywhere there was expectant readiness tfor an enemy offensive if it should develop. ; The troops both on the front and in the training areas are on the tiptoe of expectation for the arrival of Secretary of War Baker, the presence of : whom In France was announced In the

spread rapidly by telephone from the bases to the furthermost outposts. Officers in villages at outlying points stopped the newspaper, motors and asked for definite word when Mr. Baker would arrive. "The old man will find us ready to pass inspection," it was said. In army circles there is general gratification over the coming of Mr. Baker in order that he may see at close hand what has been' accomplished thus far in the face of the obstacles and the difficulties of distance, and especially the moral and physical condition of the troops so that he may carry home a personal knowledge of easily remedied deficiencies and complaints. Majl Service Disappoints The most serious of the deficiencies and complaints surround the army mail service. Everywhere the rank and file complain of the absence or great delay in mail from home. Company officers generally say the mail problem is one of the most serious they have to contend with, because the men become lonely and anxious in the absence of word from their families. The ordinary mails are from one month to six weeks ahead of the army mails and the officers express the belief that there would be no beter factor for the happiness of the men than the mose expenditious mail service it is possible to devise even a faster service than through the ordinary civilian channels.

: HOW TO GET THE EOO (By A. A. Yoder. B.A., Editor Poultry Tribune) .". "Don't spend your time wondering :hy a black hen lays a white egg, but -'get the egg." . , . : Thus runs the familiar legend, which ;is especially mandatory now since the : government ia exerting its best efforts to get you to raise more poultry. To tell how to "get. the egg" and make

."the egg-getting game a paying one i ;the object of tis article. : The hen is an egg-laying machine, .and if she eats more food than her eggs are worth, then she doesn't pay, ,and there are hundreds of thousands of such hens on American back lots :and farms today. They are literally eating their heads off. But there la money good money in raising tho right kind of hens. The big thing in "egg getting is to get the right start; "that ia, to get the right kind of chickens. By this we do not mean the right breed. Any breed will do if you get -the right birds. Your birds must be 'vigorous and healthy, but that's not :all. Back of the individual bird must .be the right parentage. The bird's "mother must be an egg-laying bird, 'and the father must come from egglaying parentage. Then, and only then, are you reasonably sure of getting the "But," you say, "how am I to know anything about the parentage of a chicken?" That is just the point. Too many beginners dou't know how to buy birds with the right parentage. The only way to do is to buy from some reputable breeder of standardbred fowls. You will pay more for your stock in this way. but in the long run It will more than pay for its additional expense. Buying poultry Is like buying a pair of Khoea, only more important. You know It pays to buy a koog pair of shoes, but if you buy a cheap pair you can get a better pair when they are gone. In buying poultry, however, you are not buying simply for the present; so If you get poor stock you will have poor stock next year and the following years, or else have to sell and buy over again. Of course, there are many things of Importance in the egg' getting game, but the one thing needful, which cannot be stressed upon too much is start

ing right by getting standard-bred stock. With this right start and care and common sense, the beginner in the poultry business this year should not only serve his country well by providing food, but should find pleasure and profit

President Edwards of, Earlham college Friday told students if any. of them lacked the money to attend the Zimbalist concert the college would supply the deficit as he regarded such advantages as a legitimate part of higher education. Words of commendation for Zimbalist continue to be received. Mrs. Ben Bartel, who heard him last season in Dayton, write the following: "The rare treat of hearing such a skilled artist as Efrem Zimbalist is not often granted the Richmond public. His concert at Dayton last year was the best of the Civic League Course. His varied program showed a wonderful genius. First a graceful, delicate number; then one of warm color, and again another of vital nerve force. His staccato and pizzicato numbers were the most interesting of all. He carries an unusually sweet-toned instrument and fairly makes it 'talk.' At such a price no lover of good music should miss him."
