Artificial incubation has baan prac

has racchad lla highest development
in racant yaars Today, this form of
hatching is indispansabla on largo
poultry farms whara thousands of
chicks ara hatched yaarly.
It has tha or'vantaga of giving man

and tha output of the plant is unlim

economic faatura of poultry raising to
day. The following article will halp
anyone interested in raising chickens
in any but a most limited way.

birds, ara shown in the accompanying

The artificial method has many ad
vantages ovgr the ualurnl, and these
may be enumerated ns follows
I. The time of hatching can be
more easily controlled by man; fertile
eggs may he hatched for broilera In
the early fall or for etvcly pulleta 111

and April.

without much exertion. Except In
1908 In those days It looked as If
that grand old machine was good for
six to ten years more. But what has
happened? The machine has been
smashed, Its main cogs removed and

This, aided by the experimenting of
one Charles Webb Murphy, wrecked
the works, and of that 1910 crew only
Heinie Zimmerman and Schulte still
wear the Cub uniforms.
The Brooklyn club won the Na
tional League pennant in 1910, sur

players but Time has collected its

Some there are who played on
those championship clubs who still
are In the majors, hut with different
clubs, to whom they were traded or
sold. And a few others still linger in
the big tent as managers, coaches and
scouts. The lure of the gamo is strong
fo r them, and no matter in what ca
•pacitv it is they still like to linger
each spring and summer where they
can hear the crash of the bat against
the hall; where they can hear the
throng jump to Its feet and shriek its
plaudits. Even though the cheers
are not for them, as they were in
the days of old, the cheers still ring
as music in their ears, and bring
back to them so vividly the memories

major portion of the spotlight—and
the Idolizing of the fans. .
2 Brothers Charged With
Fraud; Totals $200,000
Ojae Was Sentenced to a Term
of Imprisonment For Trying
To Swindle An American
Paris Frauds involving $200,000
are alleged against two brother*. Rob
ert and Pierre Lnmen, belonging to a
wealthy French family, well-known in
Parisian society.
The young men are in custody on
charges of obtaining valuables and
money hy false pretenses and also for
attempting to extort money by
threats.
Robert, some time ago, was sentenc
ed to a term of Imprisonment for at
tempting to swindle an American out
of $500,000, He appealed against the
sentence, and the appeal is still un
decided.
The prisoners’ father a few years
ago left each of them $500,000, but this
they quickly dissipated in a life of
pleasure and gambling. They kept two
beautiful suites of apartments in a
fashionable part of Paris, and during
the season gambled for very high
stakes.
All their fortune was dissipated
within two years, and since then the
young men are alleged to have obtain
ed valuable jewelry and furniture and
sold it to meet gambling debts.
One complaint against them re
lates to a $5,000 pearl necklace.
They protest their innocence of the
fraud charges.

IN THE GERMAN ARMY

here with food pills for the German
army have resulted so satisfactorily
