The President is entitled to credit, of course, for having ordered the prosecution of these cases, and it should be stated that he showed better speed than he did in ordering prosecution in the Teapot Dome oil scandal, which was not done until Senator Walsh of Montana had introduced a resolution calling upon the President to appoint independent counsel, and it was certain that the resolution would pass.

The President's delay in the Teapot Dome prosecution is comparable to his delay in the Boston police strike case in which at first he could find no reason to act, and then after the strike was broken and law and order the mayor" of Boston, the President called out a militia, issued a law and order statement and got credit for what the Democratic mayor had done. The "Coolidge Myth," so far as the Boston police strike is concerned, has been pretty well exposed, and the "Coolidge Myth" in so far as it relates to the prompt grasp and courge- ous handling of a crisis since he became President is now analagous to a "fade-out" on the screen. mule team 3 or to procure a stove of 500 chick ca- 4 years old.

His order sending a detachment of marines to Teapot Dome to clear it of trespassers, in the summer of 1922, four months after the reserve had been leased to Harry F. Sinclair, was characterized by Senator Walsh of Montana, as an "outrageous use of the military powers." Secretary Roosevelt also was asked about the circumstances under which he requested Sinclair to give employment to his brother, Archie, whose startling story to the oil committee led to the most sensational disclosures of the long investigation. He explained that when Archie returned from the war in 1919, he was seeking a place and that he either saw or telephoned Sinclair asking that he employ Archie. "What was his salary?" asked Senator Dill, Democrat, Washington.

"Ten thousand dollars a year at the start," said Secretary Roosevelt. "I think that was increased to $15,000 later on." Secretary Roosevelt told the committee that his order for the marines to clear Teapot Dome had been issued at the request of Albert B. Fall, then of the interior, under what he. understood was an agreement between Fall and President Harding. This- brought from Senator Walsh the charge that Fall and Sinclair wanted the marines used because if they resorted to civil action the validity of the Sinclair-Fall lease would come under review by a court, and they did not want that to happen.

"The thing in my mind then was the protection of naval property," Secretary Roosevelt said in explaining why he ordered the marine One thing we hope for the new I where it should be cleaned at least year is that some insurance agent i every other day. will sprain his jaw talking.

This device should be made with three roosts about eight inches apart and about twelve or fourteen inches from the floor. A frame sixteen to seventeen inches wide and the full length of the house should be hinged with bolts from the roost supports, about even with the midle roost pole, and allowed to rest on the floor. By covering the lower side of the back poles and the frame with inch mesh wire, the chick will be crowded onto the roosts instead of into the coners. This simple roosting device will prevent much loss from crowding about the time the chicks start pushing back from the stove.

It is very important that the chicks be kept free from contamination. The yards and runs should be cultivated and sowed to small grain at least once yearly and the brooder house should be cleaned regularly and thoroughly. Who can remember the good old days when every man, woman and boy in Neosho knew how to hitch up a horse?.
