Great Sunday School Gathering

The Annual Convention of the
State Association meets at Ashland
Catlettsburg. August 81. %, %. Every
Sunday School in the county is en-
titled to representation, but they
must have credentials signed BY ore
OF the county officers. Mr.. f. A.
Fox, our State Secretary. assures
us that this is to be one of the
Greatest Conventions ever held in
the State. Four OF the greatest Sun
day School experts of America are
to be there, besides the choicest
speakers of our own State. The rail-
roads have granted reduced rates
and all delegates will be entertained
1t will be a delightful trip in every
respect and we hope to have a large
delegation. from our county. Here IS
what Mr.. Orchard. the State Secre-
tary of North Dakota. says OF one OF
our speakers who recently attended
their State Convention There are
at least three others just like him,
and surely it is a great trea. to have
such men come to MS. Mr. Orchard
says
we would like TO speak OF Mr.
W. c. Pearce, of Chicago. as We found
him at the Valley City State Conven-
ton This. however. is almost impos-
sibe Pearce is Pearce and no one
else His originality sticks OFT through
every pore of his skin; his pungent
sayings are wrapped mp in the quaint
est of stories; his stories contain
rich gems OF truth.
He is very strong rs a story teller,
an efficient educator and pleasing
speaker. He bears the marks in
words, thought and deed If stud
cnt of human nature man OF un-
limited personality and a speaker Of
telling effect
His fund OF humor finds vent with
out effort and is so forceful and
aprcros that the most unpalataole
uutts are swallowed as thousl, they
we u ,%eeter than honey ;uG the
honeycomb
Under such leadership and speech
the man OF ruts gets out; the ego
list gets new views: TIE Indifferent
are deeply stirred and the loyal
worker cheered.
| Mr.. Pearce's beautiful Christian
spirit, intense enthusiasm and prac-
teal addresses has led to much
needed and far reaching outlook,
whilst his personal touch lent a
charm TO the convention that helped
to make 1t one of the most heart
searching, practical seasons ever held
in North Dakota"
Mr.. Pearce will have prominent
place on our State Convention pro-

No Need to Buy Fake Foods

Massachusetts investigators have
made the discovery that some Of the
meat products sent OUT in tin cans
are Dot all meat They contain corn
meal in free quantities Corn meal
IS not hurtful, but it comes high At
10 and 20 cents pound II would
be- better for the New England peo-
pie to buy 1t straight in the sack
not in the can. 1t is also discovered
that boned chicken and turkey are
as innocent OF flesh as Of bones
They are made up Of skin and feaih-
ers Feathers have their uses. but
are not nutritious as food. They make
rather light diet But nobody -
compelled to buy canned skin and
feathers And this raises the Ques-
ton why II should be necessary to
stir up all this racket In order to
keep people from buying such stuff
Anybody ought To know better than
TO keep on buying strings, untanned
ieatner, feathers and fragments for
food Are the American people in
their first or second childhood that
the government must spend millions
on inspectors to prevent them from
ealing any old thing covered by a
tin can? Heretofore II has been
fondly believed that our graet public
school system had made rarely in
telligent people. But now Il turns
cut that we don't know the differ
ence between trash and turkey until
some expert points It out Deliver
~! What the buying public needs is
sense enough 70 stop purchasing fake
foods because they are cheap. When
we bet right down 20 the bottom

have been humbuged because they
wanted to get something for nothing.

THE FARM.
POULTRY NOTES.

While summer is generally regarded
rs the dun season in the poultry bus
iness. 1t isn't difficult matter for
tthe poultry raiser to pick up a num-
her OF extra dimes and dollars and
keep tolerably busy with the fowls
during the hot months. People like
light food during hot months, and
fresh-dressed nice-looking poultry
sells well every year 1t should and
will be in better demand this year
than formerly, for the sensational
disclosures of the unclean methods
employed in the big packing houses
of the country will cause an appre-
ciable decrease in the consumption of
beef and by-products. canned goods
etc, and poultry will largely take the
place of those mwholesome foods,
The farm raiser of poultry will have
an opportunity to dispose of lots OF
surplus fowls, and at good prices.
During the next two or three months
all the surplus stock of old fowls can
be gradually sent to market, and sold
a few at a time TO private parties.
In most every village, town and city
in the country there are housekeep-
ers who fairly yearn for some honest
countryman to come to their doors
with fresh-dressed poultry and fresh
eggs II is an easy matter to make
regular customers of those once they
Far efound, and thereby add a regular
sum weekly 10 the income from the
fowls. The cockerel Weighing a pound
and a quarter sells for the squad
broiler, and when larger for the
regular-sized broiler. Those about
two pounds and little over sell for
fryers, and beyond that figure they
generally sell by the pound. although
the matter is largely regulated by
the custom of the locality or com
munity. The thing for the poultry
raiser to do If he or she has lots OF
fowls ON hand and wants to convert
them into cash is to study the market
in her particular locality. and cater
to its demands. Eggs should be
quickly disposed of during the sum-
mer months, else there will be no
profit from them. While non-fertile
eggs may safely be sent all over the
country during hot weather. fertile
ones cannot They will spoil very
quickly, and should be sold or used
as soon after laying as possible.
There is no good reason Why the
hot months should be profitless ones
in the poultry yard and they won't
be If intelligent attention is given to
the business features of poultry-rais-
ing.

With prime western lambs selling
at $3.50 and with wool fetching close
to 80 cents a pound, sufficient incen-
tive would seem to be provided to
cause whole lot of farmers to go
into the, business of raising sheep.
A flock OF them is bound to have a
part in the thrifty. conservative and
intelligent type of agriculture which
will soon be adopted by farmers
throughout all the western central
states.
As people we are only just wax
ing to the enormous loss that is an
nually sustained through hauling
products TO market over poor roads
a loss that is none the less real
because IL is one that is usually
taken for granted A speaker in a
Missouri good roads convention re-
Gently made the statement that a
farmer can get to town over good
roads with thirty dollar load of
produce with less wear on horses and
wagon than he could with a ten dol
lar load over poor roads. With good
roads he holds that time required for
marketing produce would be reduced
two-thirds.
