other OF their popular entertainments at
the Congregational church last Saturday
evening. The number who gathered to
receive them completely filled the church
and every one was highly pleased with
the artistic rendition OF the several parts.
Miss Gambell as solOist, and Miss
Holmes as an lmpersonator are hard to
excel and their public efforts have
gained Tor them warm place in the
hearts of Hood River people Mrs. P.S.
Davidson, jr. ably presided at the piano,
and Mrs. A. A. Jayne rendered beauti-
ful solo. The receipts were about $27,
part of which was given to the public
library. Prof. Thompson stated that
there were 2S0 volumes in the school
library and during the past school year
750 volumes were read by the pupils OF
the school. This is an excellent show
ing, and there is hardly any public inter
est in our midst that is more deserving
OF support than our school library. The
surplus proceeds of the two entertain
ments given by the Misses GanIbell and
Holmes have been devoted to this worthy
object.
These warm days are espec ally favor
able to the propagation of lice in tie
chicken coops and houses. One OF the
very best remedies for vermin in use is
prepared as follows: Dissolve pound
If sulphate of copper (blue vitrioD ia a
quart OF hot water, using wooden or
stOneware vessel, slack pound of quick
lime, and when these materials are
thoroughly dissolved put in a wooden
vessel containing 10 gallons OF water.
Stir thoroughly and strain through a
fine sieve or coarse cloth, add ounces
carbolic acid and apply to the entire sur
face Of the inside OF poultry house with
spray pump. This spray may be put
on with brush but not so effectively.
1t is an excellent disinfectant and
will kill both the lice and their eggs
wherever it touches them. Remember
