A gable roof building 10 to 15 feet I
wide, 6 feet from the floor to the eaves, I
and 8 to 9 feet to the ridge makes a
good pigeon house. A pen 8 by 9 feet
will accommodate 25 pairs of pigeons,
while 40 pairs may be kept In a pen
8 by 18 feet. The necessary floor space
to allow per pair varies from 2% to 8
square feet, according to the else of the
I pen, as a pair of blrda requires lass
floor space In large than In small pens.
From 20 to 75 pairs of pigeons may ba
I kept to advantage In each pen. It costa
from $1.25 to $1.75 a pair to construct
I pigeon houses, including Interior fit-
tings and a small outside pen or fly-
way.    ,
Fittings should ba as simple as pos-
sible and easy to dean. Two nest
I boxes should be provided for each pair
I of pigeons, and there should be some
Ijextra nests. The nest boxes are usual-
ly about 12 Inches square, yet some
I breeders prefer this width and height

^of Arkansas as president prot tempore
^ J    of the senate, Senator O’Qorman of
New Fork will be given serious con-
; riderstlon for that honor, according to
opinion expressed at the capitol.
The duties of the president pro

senate In the absence of the vice piyri-
dent, and It Is contended by the sup-
porters of Senator O’Gorman that he
would make an Ideal presiding officer.
Senator O’Gorman, while be baa
stood In opposition to the admlnlstra-
I    tlon on some measures which It has
I    sought to put through congress, Is
very strong    the members of
1b the senate. He has been a
member of the Democratic steering
committee ever since the Democrats
came Into power In the aanata In 1913,
and this committee has control In large part of the legislative program which
ths senate la called upon to follow.
The very fact that Senator O'Gorman la going out of ofllce at the dose of

BAD COMPLEXION MADE GOOD

Arrangement of Nest Boxes
with a depth of 15 to 18 Inches. Egg
or orange crates may be used for nests,
but they are difficult to keep clean and
lesa desirable than nests made with
one-inch boards. A good method of
construction la to use lumber 12 Inches
wide for the. floor of the nests, arrang-
ing each floor so that It will slide on
cleats and can be easily removed and
cleaned. The neats are usually built In
tiers against the rear wall of the pen,
extending from the floor to 7 or 8 feet
high, but they may also be placed on
the side walls. All partitions should
be solid to the top of the nests, but it
Is advisable to use wire netting above
the nests for ventilation.

CHARLES M. SCHWAB’S CONTRACT
WalbCarad-For Highway.
Baas of travel In the early days were
the shores of great-waters and the
rivers and canals The railroad build-
ing era followed close upon the peri-
od of the river steamboat and for
those and other reasons the highway!
of the land were neglected.
One of the most powerful of the
agencies now at work for better roads
Is the automobile. The country owes
a debt to the motor-driven car for mak-
ing Insistent demand for adequate
highways over which to travel.
The expenditure of these many mil-
ttoas of dollars will benefit the people
vary greatly by helping to' cnnPey farm
products to market and thus to some
extent It will make living cheaper and
mars comfortable, says Chicago News.
Moreover, the country with an abund-
ance of good roads within Its bounda-
ries la more easily defended when
threatened from without The Tx»st
result of all, however, will be the
quickening of Intercourse and lntelll-
.gence and the unifying of this great
nation, which as yet la too much given
to sprawling physically and otherwise.
There is only one man In the
world who ever tore up p $1,000,000-    *
s-year salary contract.    MaT
When the Steel corporation took-
over the Carnegie company It ae-
qulred as one of Its liabilities—It
really was an asset—* contract to pay
Charles M. Schwab that unheard-of
J. P. Morgan didn’t know what to
do about It The,highest salary on
record was $100,000. Ho was In a
quandary.    T|dQM|BM^^F •
Finally he summoned Schwab,    >p|jEa^MPy^Mm
showed him the contract and heal tat-
Ingiy asked what could ba dona about
"This.” said 8chwab.    ||
He tore It up.
That contract had netted Schwab
11,300,000 the previous year.
“I didn’t care what salary they
paid me. I was not animated by
money motives. I believed la what I
was trying to do and 1 wanted to sea It brought about. 1 cancelled that con-
tract without a moment’s Station.” Thus did Mi*. Schwab explain hla
toon.
There was a sequel. Morgan later told Carnegts bow magnanimously
Schwab has acted. Carnegie remarked: "Charlie la the only man I know
who would have done that”
And he promptly sent Schwab In hoods the fall amount of the contract
PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
First Essential Is Han (feed for That
Particular Purpose—Proper Feed-
ing Is Important
Nerves AD On Edge ?
If you want winter eggs the first es-
sential Is a hen that la bred for win-
ter laying. This character of winter
laying Is Inherited from the male bird.
The next essential Is proper feeding
methods.
Many fowls take the feed given them
and convert it Into fat while those
with the born tendency to lay con-
vert the surplus above that needed for
body maintenance into eggs. Every
hen Is born with a certain number of
small ovules, which the hen will devel-
op if she Is fed such feed as she needs
to nourish them.

Muolo Whllo You Work.
A dry-cleaning establishment In Cin-
cinnati has come to the conclusion that
if Its employees hoar music at fre-
quent Intervals whllo they work it will
not only make thorn happier, more con-
tented and bettor workers, but that
they will accomplish more than If they
wore without It
Working upon this theory, there
have been installed throughout the
big establishment enough phonographs
to keep lively music playing moot of
the day.
The records are selectsd with care,
loot a funeral selection, a dreamy waits
or a sextette from ’’Lucls” should
creep In. There are many lively dance
records and popular songs. The work-
ers hum and ring to the lively music
and the speed of the music puts the
speed Into their work.—Popular Sci-
ence Monthly.

It Is often said that the use of state
money for the construction of roads la
ef quite recent origin. The New Jer-
sey state eld law of 1801 Is sometimes
referred to as the first Instance of
ouch use of state funds In this coun-
try. As a matter of fact, state money
was spent for such purposes more
than 75 years ago. Kentucky paid
out over $2,000,000 for road Improve-
ments between 1820 and 1840. under
the direction of a state highway en-
gineer. who drew a salary of $3,000
a year, a very large sum for those
days. The roads built then were 24
to 80 feet wide between the ditches.
The surfaces were constructed of bro-
ken stone, and the bottoms were of
large stones wedged together to make
what road builders rail a telford foun-
dation. About 1850 business condi-
tions in the country became bad and
this work stopped. 'When It was re-
sumed In 1908 such n long period had
elapsed Bnce the earlier state-aid
