Later he tended the private skillet of Gen. Sir Julian Byng at Vlmy Ridge, and more Important than that, he wrote "Rose of No Man's Land," the war song that had a long run of popularity. A penny whistle which he bought and played for the prime purpose of amusing his kitchen police caused his rise to music fame, he declared. In France he was transferred to the. officers' mess.

The report estimates that the number of persons In 1018 having Incomes ever $2,000, was 5,800,000, and that their total income was over 23 billion dollar a. Income tax returns, however, showed only 2,908,000 persons' having over $2,000, and their total reported Income was less than 14 billion dollars. This discrepancy is due In part to technical evasions and .straight ilia gal withholdings, but also in part to Income. 'the existence of What this means In terms of the income tax is that the government received In 1918 about half a billion dol lars less than it would have, if all persons receiving $2,000 had paid theli full jtspount. Contribution of Housewives. The contribution of the 20,000,000 American housewives is not included by the bureau In the national income because they are not paid In money, But the report points out that if the were paid at the. lowest possible figure (the average recompense of personal and domestic service) their addition to the total national Income would be or 18 billions. On about that basis, the bureau gives the following conjectural figure as to the fluctuation of the housewife's contribution to the national income since 1009: HOUSE PULLETS BEFORE LAYING Putting Them in Winter Quarters Early, Results in Larger Egg .

New York, Oct 27. The total national income of the United States In 1018 was 61 billion dollars, as com pared with 84.4 billions In 1013; but this Increase In dollars did not repre sent a like Increase in production. Most of It was due to the rise In prices, for the dollar of 1018 and 1019 was a much less efficient dollar than that of 1013. The actual total of commodities produced increased very little, If at all, and a large part of those which were produced were war materials, not of a kind really benefiting consumers. Consequently, individual Incomes, estimated on a per capita basis, rising from ?340 in 1010 and $354 in 1913, to $580 In 1018, represent more dollars but little or no real Increase, because the $588 of 1918 is equivalent to only $372 in terms of the purchasing power of 1013. These are the most important findings of the National Bureau of Economic Research, made public today In advance of the formal publication of the results of a year's study of "Income in the United States." This the most exhaustive ever made itudy, ' the Income question in this country, bas been conducted by Wesley Clair Mitchell, Wlllford L King, Frederick R. Macaulay and Oswald W.

The report says that only one out of a hundred (1 per cent) Income re ceivers In the United States In 1018 tad Incomes of $8,000 or more, and that this one per cent had 14 per cent of the national Income. Five per cent, representing Incomes above $3,200, had 26 per cent of the total. Ten per cent, including income above $2,300, had nearly 85 per cent of the total; the most prosperous 20 per cent. Including Income above $1,750, had about 47 per cent. Eighty per cent of the Income receivers had Incomes below $1,750, receiving about 53 per cent of the total income. Shares of Labor and Capital. In .most of the years since 1012. the bureau finds that In the principal or ganized Industries, wages and salaries were about 70 per cent of the total In come; while capital (Including man agement) received about 80 per cent, out of which were paid rent. Interest and profits; but these proportions varied materially with relative pros pen Ity and depression. In 1016, for example, the share of capital Increased to about 85 per cent, with 65 per cent to labor, while In 1019 capital's share fell to about 22 per cent, vhlle labor got about 73. Of the total payments to employees In the highly organised Industries, about OS per cent goes to the manual workers and clerical staffs, while 8 per cent goes to officials. Share of the Farmer. The farmers, who during the past decade have made up about 16 per cent of the total of gainfully employed, had from 12 to 13 per cent of the national Income in the years between 1910 and 1916 Inclusive ; since 1917 'they have been receiving 16 to 17 per cent, or a somewhat higher proportion, as the following figures from the report stows Pr131Cent " im ii 1918 114 lit 12 8 11 1 117 13 a Wit i 118 118 118 1U .

Prepared by the United State Department of Agriculture.) To get good results from a flock of poultry during the winter all houses tnd coops should be in good condition, only healthy fowls placed in these buildings, and good care given to the poultry. As it takes about two weeks for hens or pullets to settle flown to their new quarters they should be moved early. The moving should be done before they begin to lay, for a shift after egg production begins may set them back for a month to six weeks. Moving pullets around from one bouse to another Is the best means of holding back egg production If they are developing too fast The United States Department of Agriculture points out that it is highly to bring the pullets In from the range before they begin to lay. Prepare Houses for the Winter. The bouses should be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and made tight for the winter. It Is much easier to fio this work while they are empty than after they are filled with fowls, tf the house has a dirt floor, it Is well to remove the top S or 4 inches and replace this with dry gravel or sand. t.83 18.44 Other Countries.

The pullets that mature early In tha fall and that molt late the next year are usually the best layers and should be saved for breeding stock. Cull the chickens carefully whlih are brought into the laying house, and fatten and market all which are small, poorly developed, or In poor condition. These d chickens are small, apt to catch cold If put in with the other poultry and develop diseases which quickly spread through the Clean the dropping boards at least once a week, and spray the roosts once a month during the winter with kerosene or some commercial preparation for killing mites. Have a good supply of sand or dry dirt on hand to use on the dropping boards during the winter. If any of the birds develop colds, put as much potassium permanganate as will remain on the surface of a dime Into a gallon of water and keep this material in their drinking water for several days, or until the sympr toms of the colds have disappeared. Remove any sick birds from the flock as soon as noted and- treat them In coops by themselves or kill and bury them If they are not worth treating. Examine the pullets end hens for" lice and dust thoroughly with a good Insect powder, or apply a mixture of equnl parts of vaseline and mercurial cr blue ointment,-applyina piece about the size of a pea, one Inch below the vent, rubbing the mixture lightly on the skin. An application of this ointment two or three times a year will keep the fowls free from lice. Provide a small box In the house, partly filled with dry road dust or fine dirt. In which the hens may dust themselves, thus helping to keep free: from lice. - - LS Austria The report is in press, and will be published early In November. Hew the Bureau Is Constituted.

Fowls will stand considerable exposure to .cold air provided It Is dry, and ventilation will keep the air In the house dry. Before the pullets are mixed with the older fowls be sure that the hens are banded or that the web ef the foot Is punched in some way, so that yon can distinguish between the pullets and the hens. This plan permits the older stock to be culled out whenever desirable, and the young hens to be kept for further laying. For egg production do not keep hens over two years, but some of the best hens may be kept for breeders until three or four years Bring the Pullets In From tne Range Before They Begin to Lay, for Moving Them Retards Egg Production Two to Four Weeks.
