er. do tvc. i i ot I i "'V the SYSYEM NEXT YEAR I Council Engjrt Chicago -EnUineer To ke SrTey of Br-se And Give Estimate of Cost The Board of Local Improvements of the' city of Breese has engaged Ko Iter De Lew Co. of Chicago make a i-irvey and furnish drawings of our city for a sanitary sewage system, and whether or not it will bo metalled will be left to the decision tj voterj of Breese next spring. The Council is to ernio-rntulntrwl for taking uca a step, as the most needed improvement in this city, for or th.citizens, is a sanitary will do away wiin au ie open ditches and the vile smells from them under the present systtom, as.

well as- greatly decrease the danger bf many different diseases that may be contracted -from the germs orea the sewatre. It will also af ford greater convenience to those who use city water, and will make a much more beautiful city. It is certainly Hoped by those people who are greatly concerned and who realize the great need of this system, that the voters of Breese will pass favorably on this question. The Judiciary Committee will take up the matter of the Business and Vehicle Licenses fo 1924, sometime this month and action will be taken on these two licenses at the next reg ular meeting of the City Council, December 3rd. It was also decided to extend the tiling along the entire front of the public school.

The tiling was law a cross part of the front but owing to tho danger that it submits school children to it is to be extended. The city has agreed to lay the tile under the same conditions that the' other tiling has been laid'. J'. Stop signs and -slow-down signs have- been erected in different" parts of the ity and are very noticeable to tts motorist. These will be very effecive in eliminating the danger of collision's at the intersections of the' hard road and danger of the school children being struck by cars passing the school grounds.

The stop, signs have not been, erected at railroad crossings yet, a3 no action seems, to have been taken by the B. 0. Either the railroad authorities do not realize the danger at the crossings here or they do not care what injuries they inflict on the citizens of this community. The Council and the citizens of Breese haviv, abuut wwn cut the patience arc determined to have the crossi signals at'. try 'cost Whether or not legal action "will be taken will be determined- Iy the ac-s" tions of the railroad, and their attempt to remedy tho conditions existing here, in the near future.

The existing dan-- gers are plain to all who pass along or cross the tracks. Trains shoot through at a speed of from twenty-' five to forty miles an hour and box cars are often left on the tracks so close to f-he crossings that it is im-possible for anyone in a vehicle, to see if there isa coming. "Vhen a train is going at a speed of everi twenty-five miles an hour a person should be able to-see them at quite a distance in order to keep from being hit. A number of new culverts have been put in and practically all the" trees that were to be cut down have been removed. The Council is investigating the advisability of establishing ones where the setting out of trees is fo be forbidden.

This, it is will aid to the beauty of the city and' do away with the nuisance of having to trim and cut trees along certain streets where they interfere with the vroad work and electric lines. Parking alcaff streets half a block from the hard road will also be forbid-, den 'as it interferes with theview of "y-fa road and thereby makes it v'V rous for any one driving north Vfeerqss the Midi and. Tjfo the crushed rocks and Jta- that, are left at the power, are to-be -used to the holm in the streets and to. smooth over the rough crossings. A "BIG RADISH E'en j.

Kc. Cairtner of belleviUe, and Tu "-v" here 1 lift for ft 1 Ojn A Chw-king Account In jr A crowd of about BOO poultry raisers and fanciers attended the big demonstration given at the Concordia Hall last Friday evening by the Breeee Grain Company. A number of invitations) were mailqd out by Mr. Koch and practically all who received one responded to the request to be present at the demonstration: The hall wa very -well filled and it is doubtful if a much larger crowd could have been -accomodated. Mr." Koch was assisted irf" the de- monstra'tion by Mr.

Devera, Mws Cole and Miss Hill from the Purina MHla. Talks were given on the proper feeding, raising and culling of poultry. A moving picture film was shown which was also of great interest to those in attendance. In the several talks the great advan tages of feeding Purina Chows and Chowder (the only genuine Chows and Chowder on the market) were pointed out The first thing, as shown by the film and by those who made talks, is to raise the chickens properly. A chick should hot be fed until it has been in the world at least 48 hours.

Grains should be fed that build the chicken for egg laying. For instance, a chick fed on oats will not grow as rapidly, or be as healthy as a chick fed on wheat because oats require more of' the chick's energy in digest ing. -'And chicks fed on a balanced ration will grow much faster than a chick that is fed on wheat alone. When the chicks have grown and are starting to lay they should be ex- i amined and the non-laying type should be culled out- Culling is easy to learn -and every poultry raiser should know how to cull out the type of chickens that steal hia profits. The average hen, it is said, lays about 72 eggs a year when fed on common The average price of eggs is about 3 ents each.

Each hen then would produce about $2.16 a year. A hen eats about 72 pounds of feed a year, and with wheat at 2 cents per pound, only 72 cents "would be left, for the care of each hen for one year. A hen of Jiie laying type ec. on Purina Feeds "will produce 148 egps per year. With eggs at 8 cei.ts each and Purina at about 3 cents; per pound each hen would produce over Hie cost of the hen feed.

Mr. Devers from the Purini mills str.ted. that there Were three different kinds bf chid. fted on the market: feed tnade to sell for a price, feed nri de fronr oy product! and feed made for results. Purina is classed in the feeds made for In fact every sack is guaranteed to produce eggs or your money is refundedl One of the most interesting things at the demonstration was the film showing the development of the chicks.

This film was made in a room where the temperature was the same as In an The temperature was so great that the camera man had to wear ice) packs on his; head and. even then, he could only stay in the room a few minutes at a time. It is tae ot film of its kind in existence andl it --tainly is a treat for any one w.o interested in poultry. film fK f-ed. the development of the chick in I.

At the close of the program those who were interested in learning to cull chickens "went forward and Miss Cole and Miss Hill showed them how to pick out the non-laying and unprofitable typos of chickens, These two ladies have been in Breese sint-e October 22nd and are culling chickens, free of charge to users of Purinn Feeds They expect to spend a montfj in this AH together the demonstrate a great success and Mr. Xo pressed his appreciation of operation of the poultry making it such.

R. CROSSING ACCIDENTS The fact that' there were thirty five deaths at railroad crossings last Sun day shows what a menace to life the carelessness bf railroad- authorities and drivers of automobiles have caus ed. Laws should be made and enforced that provide for a penalty to be impos ed on any driver who attempts to cross railroad track without first siow ing down to a low rate of speed and both ways (where it is '-rv-' The state should then inspect every crossing and force the railroad com' panies to remove every obstruction that nrevents a view of the tracks for a long dlkance. Of course that would cost lots of money and would prevent some motor ists from making such good time on the road. But it would be better to spend millions and lose time than to cause the death of even one person through such DR.
