Masquerade Party.

Last Friday evening, May 1st, William
and Edgar Ketcham gave masquerade
party to about fifty of their young
friends. The large, comfortable home
was the scene of profound happiness to
the jolly crowd of youngsters from S
until IL o'clock. All of the excitement
and mystery attending the unknown
quantity was fully tasted by them, for
vacation week allowed ample time for
preparation and anticipation. Some of
the costumes we're quite elaborate and
pretty while others aimed rather at
cuteness. They were all cleverly plan.
ned and the characters we'll acted.
Mrs. Ketcham, assisted by Mrs. Boone,
Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Curry, served de-
licious refreshments at $50. After this
a huge May basket was relieved of its
contents, consisting of treat of sweet
meats for all. Games quickly followed
and the hour Of departure came all too
soon. Such events are remembered for
lifetime by the participants, and are
enjoyed as only the young can enjoy.

talent for the benefit of the city library

sentation for two reasons-to help so
worthy Il cause and to encourage our
local Thespians in presenting such plays
of merit.
Considerable interest is being mani.
tested by the friends of the cast as to
the showing they will make. They all
promise good show, worth much more
than the price of admission.
| Pictures of the cast in PLAYING cos
tune are In the windows of Van Wer
den's drug store, and any time during
| the day an Interesting crowd can be-
seen gathered around them.
MIR. and Mrs. Emmert will take the
leading parts. Wherever they have
played "The Little Minister" the press
and public announce that they are par.
ticularly adapted to this play.
| The play Is endorsed by the clergy,
and playgoers and church members
alike will fill the opera house Friday
and Saturday nights. The curtain will
rise little late to accommodate those
who come in on the train from neigh.
| boring towns.

lWill pay Sl.OO per dozen for
live pigeons. r. A. SIGLER.
Poultry Bits.

Be sure and do not feed young chicks
any food in sloppy state.
Keep plenty of grit and fresh water
before your chicks all the time.
A liable animal food is very necessary
to insure strong, vigorous chick.
Feed when about thrty-six hours
old, and feed dry crumby food.
Sweet milk is very good but should be
boiled when feeding young chicks.
DO not leave any food lying about
when chicks have become satisfied.
A cheap incubator or brooder will
cost lot of money in the long run.
Remember a cooked dry feed is the
proper food for newly Matched chicks
Variety OF food is of great value in
keeping chicks hardy and in good con-
dition.
Mix two parts corn and wheat ground
together, add little salt and pepper
and moisten with boiled sweet milk.
Keep the brooder chicks away from
wet grass and have your brooder hardy
so that they can run in and out at will
Got a first class brooder for your
newly Matched incubator chicks and
one in which the heat is distributed
from the top.
Oatmeal and barley, equal parts
mixed makes a good change. These
two feeds are better when cooked
baked or scalded.
Keep chicks in closed run or small
enclosure. There were more chicks lost
last season from straying away from the
brooder than from any other cause.
Food should include besides the grains,
meat scraps and bone, some green food !;
lettuce is excellent and cabbage leaves
beets and green oats are often used
Cut clover is good.
1t is good policy to keep chicks in a
small yard where they can scratch and
have the benefit of air and sunshine,
but at the same time be SO confined as
to keep cats, etc. away from them.
Don't let the chicks get chilled during
the first two weeks in the brooder.
Keep temperature at go and gradually
reduce as they grow older to normal
animal heat. Chicks will crowd if
brooder is too cold.
When in Leon get your warm meals
and hot and cold lunches at DERRICK Is
restaurant. They have everything 10
season, cooked in the best ST vie. Oysters
served in ali styles, and the finest line
