But the brow of a man’s soul—is it not possible to keep It free from the furrows and scars ami wrinkles that are left elsewhere? Even if we have to allow that the weight of the years nnd the years' cares and responsibilities and disappointments must bend down the frame a little, and take from the step something of Its elasticity, might we not hope that the soul would be able to keep young anil fresh and buoyant

the word was heard that on the mor- Got “Peeping Tcm” row Lowden would be swept ucros.i , Something exceedingly antique nnd the line separating a possibility from rare in the legal line was presented In

Since that time, Lowden has been , oug tales.” He resisted capture when

living quietly, glad, if the truth were of himtold, to be out of the limelight of public life. Now his party speaks of him again in connection with thi vice-presidency. He will have a strong following in the national convention here for that post and unless his compatriot from Illinois, “Hell and Maria” Dawes is chosen, Lowden

seems to have a good chance.

degrees, is at the equator, and the coldest at the poles. At a depth of 700 feet, however, the ocean, even In the tropics, Is extremely cold. This Icy water has drifted down from the poles, spreading its chilling effect over the entire sea. In the lowest depths the temperature Is very close to the freezing point. There Is no danger that the ocean will ever freeze, because the water is in perpetual motion through waves, tides and currents, and also because the warm water at the equator keeps the general temperature from

dropping too low.

“Curfew” in America There are no states in the Union where the curfew as it was known In the early days Is enforced. Formerly, the curfew was sounded as a signal for all fires and lights to be put out. This was because heat was obtained from open fireplaces, and the measure was regarded as necessary for the safety of the community in order to prevent fires. According to Bouvler’s dictionary, some states have enacted legislation in regard to the curfew, hut it is used generally as a convenient method of letting the inhabitants know what time of night it Is.

HHOSIERS BUSY Indiana Republicans throughout the Hoosire state arrived in the heavy 1 rain in numbers early Sunday morning and assumed important part in the preliminaries for the Republican National Convention which opens here Tuesday morning. The Heosiers established Indiana Headquarters in a spacious room on the Mezzanine | floor of the Cleveland Hotel and un- ! der the leadership of Clyde A. Walb,! of Lagrange, Indiana Republican j State Chairman and Chairman of the j Indiana delegation, made plans for a j . strenuous week of Republican activi- 1

( ties.

Indiana Headquarters were gaily j decorated in the National colors and portraits of Chairman Walb and Sen-j ator Watson, Postmaster General | New, Albert J. Beveridge and Ed. ! Jackson, nominee for Governor, graced the wall. i General good feeling prevailed ev-: erywhere, with interest being center- | ed in the selection of a candidate for Vice President, in which connection I the name of Senator Watson was | heard generally and favorably, j The first politician to sign the Indiana register was Chairman Walb and the first republican editor to j i make his appearance was Henry W. ! Marshall ,publisher of the Lafayette i Journal. The evening train brought Cover-1 nor Branch, Albert J. Beveridge and | other party leaders. A reception for women last evening was the special j feature of the day. Monday was a busy day for the Hoosiers. The Indiana delegation' met Monday afternoon to select Ind-1 iana represetatives on the various; Convention Committees. The con-1 vention will open Tuesday morning i with Indiana well represented. A number of Indiana Republicans ! have the honor of staying at the j former home of Mark Hanna. The. bedroom which President McKinley \ ^ occupied during the many times he was a guest in the Hanna home has 1 been assigned to Home^ Elliott, U.S. j District Attorney; U. S. Lesh, Alto*, ney General and Robert H. Bryson,; Indianapolis Postmaster. Tickets for the onvention are in charge of Joseph B. Kealing, Indiana member of the Republican National Committeemen.

Time was when early chick hatching was looked upon ns a very serious undertaking. It is only of comparatively recent years that It has been advocated ns a proper procedure. True, experts in the industry had long recognized the advantages in early hatching, but were confronted with numerous problems in unnatural conditions which proved very difficult and hard to solve. Had old biddy shown a disposition to batch out her brood in cold weather, n fairly early production might have been obtained without great risk, but unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately now, in the light of the great progress that has been made, the mother hen preferred to wait until nature could supply her with, all the comforts of the late spring season and the natural protection it would bring to her little ones. Occasionally one would find an early setter, but not as a general rule. Unnatural Conditions Overcomq. The unnatural conditions in early hatching are many in the North. Cold weather ^is a liability. Odd weather is not conducive to high fertility. There is the necessity for the greatest care In the handling of eegs to prevent chilling nnd freezing. There is the need for the most careful selecting and mating of the breeding stock and for untiring attention to Incubation. And most Important I of all an absolute requirement of modem Incubation and brooding equipment and the application of up-to-date feefling methods. These conditions have been grappled with one after the other unlil they have been overcome to a degree that the novice may how eh ter the field with every assurance 'of success. All that the novice requires Is a clear, plain statement of the rules to follow. Space here will not allow of this detail, but full particulars will gladly be supplied free of charge by the Pratt Poultry Institute of Philadelphia, Pa. This school Is maintained for the specific purpose of dispensing sound Information on all important poultry topics. .-V large experimental plant is operated by the school. The plant is located at Morton, a suburb of Philadelphia. Advantages In Early Hatching Far Outrank Disadvantages. With the advent of the mammoth hatcheries and the development of the day-old chick business, the disadvantages in early hatching have again been minimized. The big reputable hatcheries are equipped with' every modern device to combat unnatural conditions. With the splendid aid that Uncle Sam Is giving them they are enabled to ship chicks safely and humanely for a considerable distnflee. Nature, too has added her assistance through the fact that

she requires the chick to ah. sorb the yolk of the egg j ust before It hatdies, thus supplying H T: the food it should have fur the fir4 48 to 72 hours of its life. It is during this non-eating r.eriod, which Nature Insists unon that the chick is shipped. In buy! ing baby chicks your responsibility is then limited to correct brooding and proper feeding, but care should always be exercised to as-1 certain that the stock is of good grade. Leg weakness in chicks Is another matter that has been looked upon as a drawback in early 1 hatching. Some of the early theories as to its cause have been exploded. Authorities now pretty generally agree that the most frequent and common cause is improper feeding. It is here that the’ quality ready-mixed chick food gets in its good work by supplying rich bone-building material. Prop, erly fed from the start, there should be no danger of leg weakness If correct brooding methods are practiced. Earlj) Hatch Pullets Lay When Eggs Are High. Now the greatest advantage in early hatching lies In the fact that pullets are ready to lay in the early fall before the cold winter weather sets in. They come into service' at a time when the worth-while yearling hens are in the moult or' the non-production period following the moult It is then that fresh eggs are at a premium. Pul. lets that begin to lay before cold weather sets In usually lay steadily throughout the winter. Here, then, is your reward. It comes not only In the satisfaction that you have fn a joh well done, but also in a profitable egg business that swells the bank account. And tli's is exactly what it will do if you employ modern housing and fw -'Ing methods. If yon have not tried this plan, make up your mind to do so now. You will be surprised how easy It is. Just give the early pullet* comfortable quarters In which to ll' o and feed them a quality commorclal dry mash and your account records will tell the story as out-iln-d here—eggs produced tit a lower cost per dozen than you had ever considered possible. The early hatched cockerels will also contribute their "bit” toward the profit side of your ledger. They attain broiler size Just at the tlm* when prices are best Snrplu* cockerels may also be caponized, It means they will increase atleasl a third In weight over ordinary cockerels nnd sell for at least a third more per pound. And this, too, on practically the same amount of feed. But that is leading to n discussion of a later topic In these columns—“Capon Raising, a New Business of the Near Future.” • (Copyrighted, If 24, American Poultr? Bureau.)

OCAKFS have a place of their own— and it is every place—in the world of fashion. After much heralding they came to our hospitable shores and found a royal welcome, for we never do anything by halves, and now we have out-scarfed Paris. We have scarfs for morning, afternoon nnd evening—for sports and for street wear; scarfs convoyed by millinery that is like them, and scarfs that sail independently. There is every reason for the success of this smart accessory. In some types it Is within the reach of everybody ; It is becoming and comfortable and adds color and vivacity to our plain, workaday clothes and a bit of splendor to our dressy raiment. Every woman may have a wisp of delicate chiffon about her throat, with indoor frocks, a snappy silk s^arf with tailored suits, and as many more as her purse allows, or occasions call for.
