A POULTRY FOOD OF GENUINE
MERIT.

The manufacturer of any stock food
must be attentive to all the details of it's
preparation. being certain that only first
class materials enter into its compost
ton. 1t is claimed for pages Perfected
Poultry Food" that there doesn't enter
into its composition single particle of
the ordinary meat meal which is the
basis of SO many poultry foods. The
nearest approach to it is what is known
as tallow scraps or cracklings, and every
grandmother who has lived on the farm
and taken care of chickens knows there
is nothing better to make hens lay than
tallow scraps, and Pages Perfected
Poultry Food" contains a considerable
percentage of this ingredient.
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. S. Page. Hyde Park, VT, for his
booklet, profitable Poultry" 1t will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone men
tioning this paper.

Former Essex County Pastor Sue
ceeding in Massachusetts.
Many in this vicinity will be in
terested in the following clipping
from West NeWbury, Mass, as Mr..
Cameron was a former Guildha1l
pastor and his wife was Miss Annie
Balch of Lunenburg, VT. ''The
people of Second Congregational
church, West NewburY, were proud
recently when their beautiful house
of worship was formally dedicated
with appropriate exercises. Seldom
has a minister a better right to
thank God and take courage than
has Rev. A. J. Cameron, pastor of
this church. He is a church builder
both literally and spiritually. In
most of his preceding parishes he
has remodelled the church or built
a parsonage. While here he has done
both. On the eve of the re-dedication
of the re-modelled old church it was
burned, followed a few weeks later
by the mysterious burning of the
parsonage. The situation was enough
to discourage an ordinary congrega-
ton, but Seconds was dauntless.
With the exception of few hundred
| dollars they have rebuilt from their
own resources a beautifully equip
ped church and a splendid parson-
! age. They had little insurance, and
| so it has been a matter of conSecra-
ton and a spirit of self-sacrif1ce. A
| beautiful pulpit set and Bible were
| the gifts of private individuals. On
the day of dedication other gifts of
| complete furnishings we're announc-
| ed including a fine pipe organ from
a former resident of the parish.
This makes the fifth time in Mr..
Cameron's experience as a pastor
| that he has received the largest ac-
cessions in the history of five re-
| spectiVe churches he had served.
| The Congregational society and
| Sunday school will observe their
! Christmas celebration with exercises
and tree on Monday evening, Dec.
| 26 at the church.

A few FACTS ABOUT
OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS
HOW SOME ARKANSAS chill
DREN ARE RECEIVING AN
EDUCATION.

(By Anna Vineyard, Published by re-
quest of Conway Shakespeare Club
The twentieth century will give the
world civic conscience. In its in
fancy this conscience is insisting up
on the righting of wrongs inflicted up
on the helpless many by the powerful
few. OF the many are the children of
rural districts; their teachers blight
NJ ignorance puts her among the
powerful few. What these wrongs
are may be determined by considering
one actual occurrence.
Through the curtainless windows of
small box" school house glared the
pitiless July sun, slowly sapping the
sight of the twenty-five pupils and the
Se,,enteen-year-old teacher. This ig-
norart girl her certificate a directors
favor, granted to an influential friend,
had obtained her education in SINH
lar environment, with one additional
year at boarding school. ''She knew
enough to teach a country school"
Where most was needed, least was
given.
According to established custom, on
opening day each child was assigned
the lesson following the last recitation
of the previous summer. Parents op-
pose turning child back" Among
the texts, hereditary in families, were
three varieties of first reader, four
of second reader and three of third
reader. Similar conditions prevailed
among the biographies and arithme-
tics. AS many classes were formed
as there were varieties of texts. Three
older pupils, directors children
brought Latin, algebra, physics, etc.
''to prepare for college"
Between 8 a. m. and p. m came
"a recitations. Reading starved that
Latin might grow fat. The equip.
ment consisted of small desks of uni
form size for the seating of pupils
from six to eighteen, one map and one
square yard of blackboard; dictionar
les, encyclopedias, charts, globes, etc.
were unknown; reviews. examinations
and directors visits were myths.
Three dreary months of lessons

by teacher-for her to do SO would be
to acknowledge three
months of heat, mosquitoes, blue muC

Such was one country school. There
are many like it.

OPIE HARTJE FOR RECORDER

The Log Cabin Democrat announces
today the candidacy of Opie Hartje
for reelection as recorder of the city
of Conway. The office of recorder is
responsible one, but Mr.. Hartje is
qualified in every way to fill it. He is
first-class accountant and his rec
ords during the time he has served
have always been neatly, carefully
and accurately kept. Being already
familiar with the duties of the office,
he is in a position to give the city
better service than any new man, and
he will probably be nominated with
out opposition.
