sALEM's POULTRY SHOW
Many Cups Offered For Winning Bird'

Many cups OIIered FOr winning DIV"
SALEM SUNBEAM
Present indications point to a big
poultry show in Salem, December
20 to 90. The premium list which the
Salem County Poultry, Pigeon and Pet
Stock Association is sending out is a
very large and creditable one. Thirty
two haIfdeome silver cups are offered as
specials besides over 200 merchandise
and money specials. This grand list OF
specials will no doubt bring a large entry
of birds to Salem; the officers OF the
Association say they are assured of nearly
| ore thousand of the best birds in the
country, as entries have been received
rom many OF the most prominent breed
ers both in this and surrounding states.
The exhibition will be held in Rum
sey's Hall, and the birds will be cooped
by the Superintendent, G. w. Thomp-
son in the Associations new Empire coops.
The show is not held exclusively for the
benefit Of the big breeders as many
|. would have you believe, but it is held
for the beginners and the amateurs as
well and probably the latter derive more
benift from an educational standpoint
than the oldtimers. Poultry shows have
done more than any other medium to
bring the breeding of good poultry to its
present high plane. They have started
many an amateur along the right road
and encouraged him to breed more and
better poultry. A poultry man can learn
more at a show III one day than he can
at home in six months. He has al OPP
%portun1ty of asking questions of the
Judges regarding his birds, which will help
him in the mating up his stock next
Spring.
The officers OF the Association are all
f~anciers. The President, c. B. Allen, is
probably the biggest raiser OF Pekin ducks
in South Jersey; the Vice President, w.
T. Barker. and the Superintendent, CIV.
Thompson. are breeders of White Wyan-
dottes, while the Secretary, VIM. ID.
Nuneviller, is a Rhode Island Red man.
With these officers at the head OF the
show it should be a big success.
A premium list, explaining how to ell
ter birds, can be had by addressing the
Secretary.

White Swan Coffee Demonstration.
This week Mrs. NJ. p. Du Mas,

brand of coffee, is serving the public
TO some Of The finest aromatic cof-
fee at Ditzler Dry Goods company's
store. that it has been our pleasure
to taste We are a lover of good cof-
fec and consider ourselves as good
a Judge of the article as can be
found most anywhere. We like to at
tend these demonstrations of va
rious foods and drinks, not so much
because one gets the treat for moth
ing. but for the reason that the lem-
onstrators themselves, through their
courteous dainty treatment of those
who apply make as great if not
a greater impression upon the buy
ing public as the goods they ham
die. Especially was this so in the
case of Mrs. Du Mas, who drew for
us the most delicately aromatic cup
of coffee. in the dainty china cup
and saucer (Which by the way are
given as premiums in the three
pound packages of White Swan COT
fee), that We have had the pleasure
Of drinking for many a day. This is
served with dainty waters. This
4
pounds packages, whole grain or
ground, as you like It, and the small
er packages contain coupons, which
for a certain number you get a
premium. Mrs. Du Mas will likely
continue the demonstration this week
and probably next and you will miss
a treat indeed if you do not go and
sample the product.

COMING BACK
TO OKLAHOMA
DROUGHTS OF TEXAS AND NEW
MEXICO MORE THAN THEY
CAN STAND-COME BACK.

Can 1 get my old place back for
the coming year? | am tired of liv'
ing in a country where crops are
short. it never rains, and all of the
wood does not come from trees
Excerpt from letter received
from former tenant of one of the
largest land owners in this section,
and to which he replied TO pack up
and come back, his old place was
waiting for him.
This is but one of hundreds of in
quries that have been received
from people who left this section
some time ago to an imaginary Ell
dorado In west Texas, Mexico, or
somewhere else on'y to be awakened
to the realization that they left the
best country in the world and sad
experience is teaching them that
here they must return to recoup their
lost fortunes.
Carter county is today offering the
best inducements to settlers of any
place on earth, said one prominent
'busindss man yesterday, "and the
man who has an ounce of hustle in
him can come here with his family,
establish a home and be independent
for life, land values in Oklahoma
have been on the increase ever since
the coming of statehood and the man
who purchases now and establishes
his home is the man who in years
to come will be beyond the need of
avarce. Z
Failure of crops in this section is
thing unknown, the seasons are
propitious, and there is always plenty
though some years may exceed 9th
ers in percentage of yield. Other
countries are not so fortunately stu
ated. 1t is either a drought or a de-
luge, but principally the former, for
that reason they are vending their
way back to Oklahoma, the Land
of the fair God"
