THIS TURKEY WAS
A PROSPECTOR

1t seems that the beloved and
popular turkey-the bird which is
in especial demand at this season
of the year is now appearing in a
new role-that of prospector. The
story reads like a romance but it
is plain, genuine fact. There are
several people in Glenwood who
would like to be made acquainted
with the grazing grounds of a
certain turkey which found its
way to a Glenwood table on
Christmas day.
Mrs. Mary Anderson, the col
ored woman who was formerly
engaged in the restaurant busi-
ness in Glenwood sent a Christ
mas turkey to Mrs. Newton Gra-
ham of Minter avenue. Nothing
especially strange about that, you
say. But listen; the strange part
of the story is yet to come.
When Mrs. Graham was prepar-
ing the bird for the table some
young people stood by, and one
young lady said, "Now, Mrs. Ora

continue to do so. The demand
for fresh eggs is especially brisk.
Instead of being overdone it is
just begun. There should be no
excuse for the cold storage eggs
having to appear on the market
at all. Poultrymen would be bet
ter off by far if they would incu-
bate the eggs that they sell for
cold storage purposes and have
the meat for SALE
The large sums that the poultry
Of the United States represents is
made up of small parts any one
of which is not of much impor-
tance. 1t is exactly the same way
with success in the business now.
Not any one of the essentials is
in itself very important, but neg
lect of any sort shows very prom
inently when the results are fig
ured. There is no other business
where it pays to attend to the lit
tie things as in the breeding of
poultry.

New Child Labor Law.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 31.-The
cotton mills of Alabama have ar
ranged to put into effect tomor-
row the new anti-child labor law
passed by the last legislature of
this state. The new law prohibits
the employment of children under
twelve years of age, and limits the
work of children between twelve
and fourteen years to sixty hours
per week. The enforcement of
the new law will cut down the
operating hours of some of the de-
partments in some of the mills six
hours per week. The mill and fac
tory owners, as a rule, are well
satisfied with the new law and be-

New Divorce Law in New Jersey.

Trenton, n. j., Dee. 3l.-The
new divorce law recommended by
the Uniform Divorce Law commits
sion and passed by the recent ses-
sion of the New Jersey legislature
goes into effect tomorrow. The
new law does not change the stat
utory grounds for divorce in New
Jersey, but it does make one very
radical condition. This is the pro-
vision to the effect that if a per-
son sues for divorce in New Jcr-
sey on grounds furnished in an
other state, the decree will DC re-
fused if the otfense is not recog-
niZed in the other state a, Sutfi-
cient for divorce. For instance,
a South Carolinian will not be
able to obtain a divorce in New
Jersey on any ground whatever,
the otfense taking place in South
Carolina, because no divorce is
permitted in that state.

Birmingham, Ala. Dec. 31.-Al-

NEWSPAPER PRINTS RECIPE

A well known authority on
Rheumatism gives the readers of
large New York daily paper lhc
following valuable, yet simple and
harmless prescription, which any
,ne can easily prepare at home
Fluid extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bot
tie, and take teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients
can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at small
cost, and, being of vegetable ex-
traction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for a few days, is said
to overcome almost any case of
Rheumatism. The pain and swell
ing, if any, diminish with each
dose until permanent results are
obtained, and without injuring
the stomach. While there are
many so-called rheumatism rene
dies, patent medicines, etc, some
of which do give relief, few give
really permanent results, and the
above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers
here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of
this neighborhood elicits the in
formation that these drugs are
harmless and can be bought sepa,
rately. or the druggists here will

ers if asked to.

Establishments have been thrown

hibition element declares that the
enforcement of the law will be a
mockery, with "blind tigers ev-
erywhere and stills galore.
On the other hand, the prohibi-
ton advocates believe that the

worth the cost, no matter what
that may be. They believe it will

to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,

In sise, as we'll as in the intensive character
of the work planned, this farm is the op-
pOsite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops Of the region are alfalfa,
corn, barley, and forages in general, compare
lively little attention being given to vege-
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling
land in this region is high, rarely falling be-
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex-
elusive of maintenance, of the Govern ment
irrigating system now under construction
will be about $3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
OF expense in connection with the establish
nlenJ of farm iii this region, intensive crops
of more remuneratiVe character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.
