Your plan of working until you have 
;i place paid for and also more or loss 
working capital is sound. Do not let 
anyone talk you away from that. You 
will need liquid capital when you start. 
It is always necessary to invest cash at 
times, and you will need a fair supply. 
Under your circumstances we advise you 
to attend one of the short courses in 
poultry culture. It will probably cost 
you $500 or more to get the full benefit 
Of it. but you will be repaid. We are 
quite surprised at the number of cases 
like yours which are reported to us. It 
means a new kind of back-to-the-landing 
—and a good kind. too. 
EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Six persons were killed 
July 16 when a Maine Central train 
struck an automobile at a crossing near 
Burnham Junction. A baby in its 
mother's arms escaped uninjured, while 
five of the seven occupants of the ear 
were instantly killed. A sixth died in a 
hospital. The dead include Road Com¬ 
missioner Edart Varney, his wife and 
seven-year-old son. fill of Burnham ; Miss 
Hinckley, a school teacher, of Swamp- 
seott, Mass., and Mrs. Marshall, of Chel¬ 
sea, Mass, 
Rights of American citizenship were 
bestowed upon 150,000 aliens in the New 
York district during the fiscal year 
just ended. Estimating by countries, 
Russians led, with Italians second. 
These are the outstanding facts in the 
yearly report of Merton A. Sturges. head 
of the New York district for naturaliza¬ 
tion. lie says there were about 45,000 
applications considered and 41,000 
granted. This means, including wives 
and minor children, that about 150,000 
came into citizenship, Refusals were 
mainly for moral reasons. Illiteracy 
does not figure. The alien is not required 
to read or write, but only to speak Eng¬ 
lish. in applying for citizenship. The 
literacy test is for voting. 
H. II. Duval. Sheriff of Brooke County, 
W. Va., and six other men. said to have 
been union coal miners, met death July 
17 at Cliftonville, W. Va., and more than 
two dozen men were wounded when a 
score of armed guards sought ro repulse 
an attack made on the tipple of the Rich¬ 
land Mining Company's Clifton mine by 
a force estimated at MW men. After a 
battle lasting an hour and a half, in 
which thousands of shots from revolvers 
and rifles were exchanged, the attackers 
were driven off and a score of prisoners 
were captured and placed in the county 
jail. The hodies of the sheriff and the 
' other slain men were brought to Wells- 
burg. No means of identification were 
found on any of the miners, all of whom 
were foreigners* 
Twenty-five non-union miners about to 
enter the mine of the Butler Thacker 
Coal Company at Ottawa. Boone County, 
W. Va.. July 18, were fired upon, and 
an examination of the mine, which fol¬ 
lowed the shooting, revealed a dynamite 
trap concealed under the tracks about 800 
feet front the mouth of the operation, 
according to information received by 
Colonel Jackson Arnold, head of the 
State police. It was stated by L. 'W. 
Helm in toller, superintendent of the mine, 
that 200 shots were tiro'd at the workmen 
at the mouth of the mine as they wore 
about to enter,

sions that rocked the earth within a

tenement dwellers of the district started 
July 18 in the seven-story warehouse of 
the' Manufacturers* Transit Company. 
Jane and West Twelfth Streets. New 
York, and was still burning IS hours 
later. At that hour the tire had already 
caused deaths of two firemen. MO others 
had been injured so seriously that they 
had to be sent to hospitals and fumes and 
smoke had so inflamed the throats and 
eyes of more than *400 persons that they 
required medical attention. Three hun¬ 
dred persons wore driven frotn the tene¬ 
ments in the neighborhood and property 
damage estimated at $ 1 , 000,000 was 
caused. Stored chemicals caused the dan¬ 
gerous fumes.

III.; were tiled July 18 for $217,420 for 
damages resulting from the Herrin massa¬ 
cre, These are the first suits to be tiled, 
hut others are expected, as nunc of these 
is from families of the 10 men who were 
slaughtered. The largest claim - for 
nearly $200.000—was filed by the South¬ 
ern Illinois Coal Company for damages 
to its mine and automobile, which was 
ambushed. The Hamilton I.ester Coal 
Company filed suit for $17,000 damages 
to tin* steam shovels in u mino win Hi

investigate colossal war frauds against 
the United States Government returned 
July 18 the first of its indictments. Ten 
men are charged with conspiracy to de¬ 
fraud the Government through the sale 
of $2,000,000 worth of surplus lumber 
left on the hands of the War Department

is one of the most important prosecutions

and to bring the offenders to justice.
