Probably you have noticed that
there have been no informal meetings
of the cabinet recently.
Lots of people who imagine they
can conquer the whole world, cannot
even control their own children.
The Depatrment of Justice says
living wouldn’t be so high if people
would buy the cheaper things. It must
grieve Solomon to think that he over
looked this gem of wisdom.

JACKSON COUNTY BANK
DEPOSITS AT 3 MILLION
Newport, March 22.—A big in
crease in banking business in Jackson
county is evident in the recent reports
of the local banks. The three banks
in the city of Newport that their de
posits amount to two million dollars,
and with the reports of five other
banks in the smaller towns of the
county the deposits pass the three
million mark.
The opening of many new highways
it is said, has been an inspiration to
marketing of all kinds of farm pro
ducts, co-operative shipment of cattle
and hogs, and this is given as the
reason for the big increase in banking
business'bver former years. It is said
that few merchants have been called
upon this year to support the s/aall
farmer, who, it is said, is becoming
more and more self-supporting.

Around Pails, Keeping Tempera
ture Above Freezing.
To make a non-freezable drinking
fountain for the hen house the fol
lowing material will he needed: One
joap or cracker box; a lantern; two
galvanized iron pails, about two-quart
"capacity; and enough heavy asbestos
intper to line box with a douhle thick
ness to keep In the heat generated by
the lantern and for tire prevention.
The box must be large enough to
hold the lantern and two pails. Two
holes are cut In the top of box, one at
each end, allowing the pails to sink
Into the box with only about 3 inches
protruding; Inside the box, between
the pails, the lantern should be placed.
The heat will be deflected by the lan
tern top and the box around the water
pails, thus keeping the water a few
degrees above freezing even in cold
est weather.
The box is placed on a platform.
This, in addition to being a support
for perches on which the fowls stand
while drinking, is also the bottom of

ored Muscovy. They are used for
crossing to some extent, and, tinlike
most ducks, are rather quarrelsome
with one another, and the drakes with
other poultry. They are cared for
just as other ducks. The duckling*
are fed largely on ground food with
plenty of green stuff, which may lie
put in the mash. Water should be

el should be put in the feed once a
day. All ducks must have a dry place
to sleep.
