In Perfect Accord.

Some years ago there came to an
American city delightful German,
Herr Won Blitz, who intended to sup
port himself by giving lessons in his
native tongue. When he had been here
several months and had secured a
moderate number of pupils he went
one day to the mother of one Of them
and to her great surprise asked for
her daughters hand in marriage.
"But, my dear SIR" said she, my
daughter has no fortune"
The sutton smiled upon her In an ex-
pansive generosity.
"Me, too" said he reassuringly.
"And, although we are not rich, we
have thus far been able to give her
every comfort. She is indeed used to
luxury"
"Me, too was the smiling rejoinder.
"But, Herr Won Blitz, she will never
be able to manage affairs"
"Me, too" rejoiced the lover.
"And ! feel obliged to tell you that
my daughter has very high temper"
"Me too--me too"
That was enough. The mother re.
tired from the contest, and the pro
sessor won his suit

Ruth. who has been married just two
weeks, lives in q little fat ana there

She has read little and is wise be-
yond her nineteen years. On Sunday
after their dinner had been served by
the wife she went to the kitchen and
returned with pumpkin pie.

his wife answered timidly.
He attacked the CONNECTION with a
knife and fork, but could not make
much Roadway and was about to de-
clare himself when Ruth announced:

Your mother sent one over yesterday"
She then produced the second pie,
which was as tender and appetizing as
the first had been tough and unsavory.
That's something like It," he said
patronizlngly "Of course you couldn't
expect to become expert at once, my
dear"
The girl laughed. You're eating the

(From One Who Knows HIM.
To My Friends in Hillsdale County:
have felt that l wanted to say q
Few words to you, giving my opinion
of Chase S. Osborns qualifications.
Tor governor of this state, and take
this way of doing so. My reason for
this feeling is that Mr.. Osborn has
been my close friend for many years
and l have great admiration for him
as marked character. He is so pre-
eminently fitted for the duties OIL chief
executive of our state that am con
fdent If you all knew him as | do
you would at once be his loyal friends
and supporters-that the dignity of
his character would commend him to
you. He is a man of wide sympathies
and is deep and conscientious stu
dent OF civic and social problems; in
this particular he has few equals. He
is honest with himself and all others
In any position of trust which he has
held he has never been swayed or

but has had an eye single to his duty
and responsibility to do the best pos.
sible as he understood it. He is a
thoroughly trained statesman. an edu.
Gated gentleman, graceful, polished
orator, successful man of affairs
and, above and beyond all, he is
true to himself and, as Shakespeare
says:
This above all: To thine own self be
true,
And it must follow, as the night the

Thou canst not then be false to any
man."
l take much pleasure in saying this
to you because it comes from the
heart. Hoping that in the interest of
good government you may give to him
your support, l am,

UT is seldom profitable to doctor
chickens. Where with a similar
- disease it would be wise to give
medicine to horse, cow or hu-
man it would be Improbable to give
the same attention to chickens. The
main reason is because in fowls,
which are much smaller animals, dis
ease usually runs very rapid course
and is past the point where treatment
is Of use before observed by the poul-
tryman.
Moreover, individual fowls other
than fancy stock are worth less than
81 apiece, and the time, worry and
danger of exposure of other fowls to
contagion usually more than offset the
chance Of saving an individual ailing
bird.
Poultry ailments may be caused
from unfavorable environment or may
be due to bacteria or animal PARISHES.
The first group of ailments are to be
corrected by correcting the environ

Since early spring large force Of

and a much more attractive appear
ance than ever before will greet Fair

This is along the lines of the policy
adopted by the State Fair management
in making Comstock Park gratifying
to the eyes, as well as enriching the
mind by the splendid exhibits and
other attractions that will constitute
the Fair his year.
The policy of identifying the Fair
grounds is carried out over the entire
Fair grounds. Many new flower beds
will be found in various locations, and
In the course of time Comstock Park
will be one of the beauty spots Of
Grand Rapids. The removal of the i'm.

treating chicks In this connection
more than is discussed elsewhere I'M
der the topics of housing, food and
care.
Cleanliness.
The advice commonly given in poul-
try papers concerning cleanliness in
ficts upon the poultry keeper more
labor than need be. 1t is all right for
high prices and whose profits depend
largely upon the impression his plant
makes upon the visitor. to sweep the
floors of his chicken house with as
much care as the housewife does her
parlor. But the farmer and the utili
ty poultry keeper cannot afford to in
crease their labor unnecessarily, for
the labor bill at best is the heaviest
item in poultry keeping.
There is general notion prevalent
that filth causes disease This, strictly
speaking. is not correct, and lack of
cleanliness does not breed disease, al
though contagious diseases can be
checked by disinfectant, which, Of
course. involves reasonable cleanli-
ness. Poultry If given dry whole
grain will have no opportunity to get
filth in their food, and If the house is
dry, so that no fumes of ammonia
are given off. there is no need of re-
moving the droppings more than once
a month. In winter time they can be
allowed to accumulate for even longer
periods.
In mild climates where birds are on
free range commercial poultrymen
only clean their poultry houses about
twice a year. Damp poultry houses,
even with the most scrupulous care
in cleanliness, will never give salts
factory results.
Contag ious Diseases.
Poultry suffers from numerous in
dividual diseases. such as bound crop,
bumblefoot. apoplexy. etc. Such dis
orders must be dealt with by the poul-
tryman when the occasion arises and
need give him no serious concern. as
the loss involved is of small conse-
Quence.

consumption. is germ disease and

How Bethel VI. f. Church Was RniIt

To the editor of The Advertiser:
Please allow me space i'm your columns
to express in a humble way our thanks
Tor, and appreciation of, the very eX-
cellcnt consideration and uniform
kindness that have been shown us
by the white and colored people of the
city and community in our church
work here. We have labored on al
most without means to live upon, and
certainly without sufficient means to
take care of ourself and family and
pay our obligations promptly. But
somehow we still continue to move on,
hoping for a better and brighter day.
This state of things has gone on
for these three years while we have
been striving to build house of wor-
ship for our congregation. The house
VIII be creditable to the congregation
and to the good white and colored
friends that have contributed to its
erection.
1t mas been three years of great
sacrifice upon the strength. faith and
resources of the membership, and we
have endeavored to be an example
of sacrifice and privation along with
the people for whom we labor in the
vineyard of the Lord
Our white friends have helped us
most eNcellently in the past, for which
we are very, very greatful indeed, and
trust we have merited sufficient of
their confidence as to satisfy them and
all concerned that every penny given
has been properly applied. Bro. j. S.
Hunter who is chairman of the build
ing committee, has had charge of the
application Of every dollar of the
funds We endeavor to be an example
to our congregation and people for or
der and respect of law and decency
in all things; we preach it from our
pulpit, and in public and private.
We are now at work on the church,
finishing the auditorium, which we
hope to complete by the 10th of April
next, and on that day hold the first
services in it, which will take the form
of grand jubilee and thanksgiving
rally, and all our members will give
five dollars and upwards as a thank
Offering.
While we heartily thank our good
friends for what they have done for
us in the past, we cordially and pray
crfully invite them to come with us
