THE M'HBNUY PLAINDEALER, THURSDAY, OCT. 26, 1933 HirasL UUnoJ Peace and quiet now reigns In the Springfield mine district. The few remaining miners who made the march on the city have returned to their homes. Officials of the .Progressive Miners' union and members of the rank and file are awaiting a reply from Donald Richberg, general counsel for the NRA, to the objections to Richberg's intrepretation "of the coal cpde which President Claude I^Muncy has sent to Washington. Impossible for Chicago to help herself until 1936." E. C. Seubert, president of the Standard Oil Co. (Indiana), was recently elected chairman of the Annual Meeting committee of the Illinois Manufacturers' association. The annual meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, December 12, in Chicago James P. Ward, president of the Shipman-Ward Manufacturing Co., is vice-chairman of the committee and Stuyvesant Peabody, president of the Pfeabody Coal company, is chairman of the entertainment committee. . U Urgent demands for jobs were made at a meeting of approximately two ?• hundred persons, including thirty com mitteemen, held in Springfield recently at the St. Nicholas hotel. A new county democratic cIud was launched to work with existing officials of the organization along patronage lines. A resolution was submitted for presentation at the next meeting urging the maximum salary of $5,000 for any patronage appointee and the minimum as $1,200, and that resignations be asked from all state employes of mere than ten years standing; The September increase/of 2.8 per cent in employment ana tenths of one per cent in payrolls, shown by reports from 1,752 manufacturing and non-manufacturing establishments in Illinois, were rather generally distributed throughout the state, according to an announcement of the labor department. Outside the Chicago metropolitan area increases in both employment and payrolls were reported in September for' Belleville, Bloomington, Decatur, Eai&t St. Louis, Elgin, Freeport the Kankakee-Bradley area, Moline, Peoria, Quincy, Rock Island, Springfield and all other cities for which data is not separately compiled. PULLETS REQUIRE fROTEIN IN FEED New officers of the Illinois Detective association were elected at the annual business meeting of the organization held in Springfield last week. State's Attorney Alfred H. Greening, Sheriff Allen Cole and R. B. Irwin, manager of the; Springfield Chamber of Commerce, were the principal speakers at the program in the Centennial building auditorium. A play and musical selections made up the program of entertainment, which j was enjoyed by more than five hund-; red peraonsfrom all pwcts Of tkia state. , '• 'V';;.. •":•' *"'4 < Appointment of eight deputy collectors has been recommended by V. Y. Dallman, collector of internal revenue at Springfield. Approval of the appointments at Washington is necessary before they become effective, Mr. Dallman explained. 'This process usually requires from TWO to three weeks. Mr. Dallman haB recommended that because of the heavy population in the East St Louis-Belleville zone and the new taxes to be collected, that the zone be divided with two deputies at East St. Lours and two at Befieville. . Many subjects were passed upon Saturday by the' Illinois Supreme Court as it adjourned the October term, handing down about eighty decisions.

Illinois agata stands to take the short end of federal easy money in the distribution of the billion dollar fund created by the Roosevelt administration for the swift liquidation of state and national banks closed since last January !L Bank liquidators have estimated that only one- per cent *of the billion dollar fund will go to Illinois state banks, viewing the situation from the most optimistic aspect. With only 136,000,000 of state bank deposits qualified for the loans and with the prospects likely for loans of only 30 per iwjkI of {haft amoufit, the amount of onh that may be actually paid to deporttors ^will be less tfeah f10,000,- 000. The equivalent of 2,606 years of time which otherwise would be spent in growing corn, hogs and wheat, will be released to 'Illinois farmers and their families during tne coming year as a result of the government's agriculture adjustment program, according to one statistician. Farmers have already contracted to reduce their wheat plantings by 150,- 000 acres, and under the corn and hog program they will be asked to ! slash their corn acreage by 1,752,466 1 acres, a total of 1,902,466 acres. It | takes twelve hours to grow and harvest an acre of corn or wheat, which means that the reduction will free a total of 2,606 years total time for 1933 alone. Hbftiml Development Should Be Chief Aim. Poultrymen cannot make up for a deficiency in breeding by cutting down the protein In the feed to delay early laying, says Prof. L. C. Norris of the New York state college of agriculture. Tests at Cornell show that pullets need from 14 to 15 per cent of protein in their feed during the period from twelve to twenty-four weeks of age. When less protein was fed, laying was delayed for about ten days and the growth of the pullets was retarded. Poultrymen need an early-maturing type of pullet of proper size and vl. tality which lays as large an egg as that , laid by .a pullet whicfi starts to. lay at a later age. Such a pullet is cheapest to grow, because she uses relatively less food for • maintenance and more tor growing in the non-productive period than does the slower grbwirig bird. A pullet which reaches a weight of three- and three-fourths pound at five months of age and begins to lay. Is cheaper to grow than the puliet that.takes six months. Moreover, he says, the early-maturing pullets lay more eggs in a year than the slow-growing birds. Siae of bird, size of egg, and vigor must be considered in breeding the flock, along with early maturity. Poultrymen should feed and manage the pullets to keep them developing normally, he advises. Do not lower the protein content by feeding more than 50 per cent of scratch grain or by cutting the protein content on the mash. Induce the flock to take exercise, and cull* out the small-sized, rapidly- maturing pullet that develops a red comb early.

Muclv Valuable Feed Is Blown Away by the Wind Saving poultry feed would seem to he a penny-wise and pound-foolish policy, as usually understated. When one speaks of "saving feed" he usually re- 'fers t^ cutting down on the grain and mash fed the growing chicks or hens, with the hope that the birds will be able to pick up additional feed around the yards or in the fields to make up what the owner does not give. Thefe is another method of "saving feed" that is commonly overlooked, the saving of which Is much more real. That is, to feed the grain and mash so that little is wasted and unused. Probably none achieves the ideal whereby none Is wasted, unless one feeds only whole grain and scatters it on bare ground In such timited quantities that It is cleaned op In a minute or two. Feeding dry mash calls for adequate feeders. ' In feeding cracked corn, many farmers have a considerable portion of finely ground corn in the grain -as it comes from the mill. Scattered «on the ground, this finely ground portion is largely lost. Dumping the cracked corn and wheat la the mash feeders works nicely and saves this frnefy ground corn, since It blends with the mash after the coarwr portions are eatefc. Another sen roc «f wastage in naSh is having It Mew away. Whether the feeders are Inside with the windows open, or outside, they iieed protection from wind.

I'll get Jim to buy you a dear little place In the country. In Virginia, If that's what you want; and, if you really need It, we'll manage an allowance--" Laura meant to be kind and one or two of her arguments had struck home. Smif had long been sure she would never marry and asked herself why the bald brutality of the statement that she would never have any children had given her such a pang? But It was the suggestion that she should live out her life dependent on Jim Hammersley's bounty that roused her to rebellion. "You're very generous for Jim, Laura," ahe said angrily. "Please forget that plan, as I shall. I am entirely able to support myself. Pin sorry if you don't approve of my business. I find it both remunerative and enjoyable, and I propose to continue it It Is useless to argue further." Seeing at l«st that her first efforts had been wrongly directed, Laura tried entreaties, in time evc-i working herself up to the point of tears. "We love you, Smif," she averred. "How can we bear to have you run such risks? Open to visits from the most awful people in a public building like this. Why, I met tiie ssost terrible creature a gunman tm sore, coming oat of the elevator with a huge emerald horseshoe in his necktie. Smif burst out laughing. "To think what I missed!" she cried. "Unfortunately your gunman was not one of my clients, Laura. . . . You may as well break it to ihe others that there's nothing to be done with Smif. As usual, she's as obstinate as a mule. Keep them from bothering me and I'll bless you forever. And now run along like a good girl. My time's worth money." As Smif retraced her steps to the middle of the lounge, thoughtfully tapping her lips with Laura's folded check, Buttons entered from the passage. "They's a gentleman, ma'am. No appointment, an' he didn't give no name. An' he's got the tonlect tiepin I ever saw! Looks like all the green lights up an' down the avenoe made Into a horseshoe." SnK started.

Much to her disapiHtintment and contrary to her expectations the business that had oome te her so far had proven commoiiplaoe. "Not an adventure in the whole hatch 1" ahe had sighed to herself regretfully, and indeed so it had proved until the advent of the man with the emerald horseshoe. An emerald horseshoe did not suggest a friend of Charles. In fact Smif was sure his reaction to such an adornment would have been 4uite as violent as her sister's. How then had the man heard of her? Not that it mattered. The opportunity to Interview a possible gunman was unique. 0 It waa, however, a fixed policy with her to make those without appointments await her pleasure "Shotf the gentleman Into the second waiting room," she taid.

In spite of herself Smif chadded. It had struck her that this waa a very gentle gunman. And &«re waa something charming in Saifti chuckles. "That's too bad," she said, still twinkling, "because yon are seeing me,' aren't you? What do you sappose can be done about it?" "Nothing." Her visitor looked at her without cracking a smile. His face, melancholy in its lean brownness, was lit by gray eyes under straight black brows. Eyes that were looking at her with a fixity that threatened to degenerate Mo a stare. It was not a face that fitted the emeralds. It occurred to her that it was not a modern face, its like had looked out upon her from canvasses by Moroni. "I'm not so sure now that I don't want to see you," he remarked with an effect of casualness, plunging his hands in' his pockets, and continuing to study her under contracted brows. "You're good.
