The poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say, will aid 150,000,000 eggs to our food supply this year withour reducing our Bupply of chicken meat. Investigators have found that because poultry brings 2 cents a pound more in winter than in late spring, many farmers in the South have been throwing away valuable egg profits just to get 8 cents more per hen.

They believe that if farmers will keep their laying hens and sell their eggs and then market the birds in the late spring, they will not only add to the food supply, but actually increase, their profits 50 cents per hen.

a. The March American Magazine. Everyone interested in the war, every father and mother who has a boy in the service, will be grateful for the message of cheer that is given in-the March American Magazine by Sur geon-General Gorgas and Private Peat. Surgeon-General Gorgas tells in an interview what the chances are of getting hurt or killed in this war, and his facts are indeed cheering. Private Peat, the famous soldier-lecture, tells in a wonderful article "Why We Come Smilling Out of Hell His story is inspiring and thrilling.

The lecture of Frederick W. Taylor, the father of Scientific Management, and the man who work onsteel alone has been worth between $50,000,000 and S100.000.000 a year to the machine industry of the country, is printed for the first time in this issue. Address, 381 Fourth Ave. New York. A few Words From Illinois.

Mr. Alexander Murrell. son of Howard Murrell, writes us in part from Champaign, 111. "Winter has at last let go its hold upon us. It has been the worst winter on record in Illinois, but it has been one of the healthiest-no colds, no lagrippe.

"The thing that worries us most now is the seed corn problem. Most of us picked our seed corn early last fall, but the cold weather has killed fully one half of it. We are scouring the country for every available ear that will grow, and we are glady paying from $7 50 to 815.00 a bushel for it We fully relize the importance of having every grain grow, as our allies as well as our home people are depending upon us. "Dad and Nina are well satisfied in this State, but Mamma, Garret and Margaret hae a longing for the old Kentucky Home As for me, I love Illinois, to live in, but I do love to return to old Kentucky once and awhile Relatives, old friends and old scenes still have a place in my heart, and will as long asl have breath. I am proud of the fact that 1 am a Kentuckian.

"Jesse and Walter are helping to lick Kaiser Bill. Jesse is an aviator and Walter is a seaman, and is somewhere on the Atlantic Jesse is in a training camp at Great Lakes. He will go to France in three weeks. (To Mr. Murrell.

The other matter is under consideration. Ed News.) Frank Toliver bought ten mules in Jamestown the first day of the present term of the Russell circuit court. He paid from to $185 per head. Off for the War. Patriotism was manifested oa the public square last Friday afternoon when the many young men of Adair county who had passed for service, who at the sound of the bugle, fell into line, the stars and stripes floating, and marched around the square.

Parents, wives, brothers, and sisters, and sweethearts, were here, and while the boys had enlisted to fight for their country no greater honor could come tojthem the shaking of the hand was a serious thing and the words "good-bye," were hard to say. There were thirty-four in number, all leaving at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. We believe that they, one and all will do their duty, and we hope that the entire number will be permitted to return ghome at the close of hostilities, and not one bring back a charge that hejturned his back to the foe. Kentuckians, born fighters, and we believe thatJGod will sustain them in this the greatest struggle known to the world. jWhen peace has been dedaredJPresident Wilson will write thejterms andjthe boys will come home shouting all honor to "Uncle Sam" and this free and enlightened country, made so by the pa- triotism of her sons, whoj were determined to never bend the knee to a Monarch, entreating only that divine Being who rules! and governs the universe.

In the afternoon thirty-two Russell county boys whose names are published in this paper arrrived, full of enthusiasm, headed 3 by Hugh Ross. They left for theCamp; after taking supper. Theparting Russell was as pathetic as the one recorded above. May God keep them Jin the hollow of his hand, and may they, too, be permitted to return andfjreceive the embraces of parents and sisters and the glad hand from thejgirls left behind. Wen! to Camp5aiurday.
