Sell The Broilers

There is no better time to sell than
when they are just ready for the
frying pan. They bring the highest
price and it stops the feeding bill.
Too many allow the pullets and
ROSTERS to run together indiscrimin-
ately until fall, when the wedding
out process begins. This is entirely
wrong.
Look well to the pullet. Feeding
them intelligently one can expect
reasonably satisfactory results. If
every poultry man will study, the
subject and try to eliminate the
losses, the day of cheap friers, and
eggs at 10 cents dozen will be at
hand"

Fifteen Chalmers Cars
Travel Over One Million
Miles--Are Still RUNNING

Here is record for endurance it would be
hard to beat
Fifteen Chalmers cars with total mileage
of 1012.185.
Here are cars from all parts of the country
driven by men in many lines of business and
they show an average of more than $1,000
miles each:
And these cars are still running.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-04-30

Here is not ONE car which has held together for
lOO, 900 miles, but fifteen which have totaled
one million miles. In the files at the factory
are the reports of many other Chalmers cars with
records of $4,000 to $4,000 mles-and there are
undoubtedly others of which we know nothing,
with records of 40, 900 to rs 600 miles.
Think of what these figures mean-ths average
of over 81, 600 miles Ten years ago nobody had
ever travelled that far over the roads Few, indeed
had ever gone that distance by any mode of con-
veyance The automobile has made it possible for
men to cover this great mileage in the course of
their daily business.
Such record as this is the greatest tribute ever
paid to the endurance of car. Isn't this the kind
of motor car you want?
We invite you to see the Chalmers cars. Phone
call for demonstration.

MRS. HoBARTs TALK PLEASED.
Teachers Elementary Union Had En-
thusiastic Meeting.

One of the largest attended meet
ings of the Sunday School Teachers
Elementary Union was held last
night at the Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Jean Hobart, organizer OF state
Sunday school unions, gave a talk
on how to use the sand table and
sthe blackboard. She also taught the
Junior lesson. Many people have
given their time and gone to much
expense to attend conventions at a
distance and have not received as
much help as those did who heard
Mrs. Hobart last night. The Union
is to be congratulated upon the fact
that she will again be here in charge
Of the work for the coming year.
Many plans are being formulated to
make the meetings more instructive
and interesting.
The president appointed a NOM
mating committee whose choice OF
officers for the coming year met
with unanimous approval. Inc Ol-
ficers elected are as follows: Presi-
dent, Mrs. C. A. Cole; general vice
president, Mrs. Harry Taylor; be-
ginners' vice president, Miss Anna
: Engle; primary vice president, Mrs
H. E. Keel; junior vice president
Mrs. Mason; secretary, Mrs. B. H.
Hobbs,n 1t is probable that an in

soon to this list. The Union will
send a delegate to the Kansas Sun
day school convention to be held at
Hutchinson. The next regular meet
ing will be held at the United Breth-
rem church May 9th.

The railroad companies refused to

been using them free and the tele-
phone companies were prohibited
from leaving the telephones in with

commission cinched the matter yes

binds both the telephone companies
and the railroad companies. The
telephone companies cannot remove
their telephones and the railroads
cannot order them out. The phones
must stay in and the railroads must

DICKINSON FARMERS Will
BE CUTTING ALFALFA SOON

Fred Beeman OF Dillon In an in
teryiew at Kansas City stated that
one OF the rather strange things
about the alfalfa crop this spring
Is that It is good on uplands as well
as along the streams on the land
that is more especially adapted to
raising II.
Everywhere the alfalfa fields are
green" MIR. Beeman said. 1T Is
making a very rapid growth. In
two weeks 1t viii be ready TO har-
vest. thus bringing II along as early
as other seasons when the weather
seemed more favorable. This will
give farmers a good start on pro-
4 ducing a big yield Of that great feed
for the season. II the remainder Of
the summer is as favorable as 1t has
been for the first crop, then we will
have alfalfa galore.
THE wheat was little spotted
and some fields had to be plowed up
but where it is good, 1t is In ex'
ceIlent condition. 1t is making q
good growth, and is a dark green
color"

ORDER FOR THE PHONES
TO STAY IN STATIONS.

An order was issued by the public
utilities commission prohibiting rail-
road companies from ordering tele-
phones out of their stations and pro-
hibiting telephone companies from
taking them out, says dispatch
from Topeka.
1t is calculated that this order
will be responsible for a number OF
suits brought by telephone companies
to collect telephone rental from the
railroad companies:
It has been a custom for a long
time for telephone companies to place
a telephone in the railroad station
for the convenience of the patrons
in each town. In small towns the
telephone has been furnished free
Of charge. In the larger towns the
railroad companies have paid Tor us
use. But the last legislature put the
free telephone out of business.
Through the public utilities law tle
legislature requires that there De ao
discrimination among telephone as
ers. That means that the telephone
companies must cut out the free SER
vice. The public utilities commission
ruled on that and has been enforcing
its order.
AS soon as the commission made
it's ruling the railroad companies be.
gan ordering the telephones out OF
the small stations. Then the patrons
of the telephone companies and OF
the railroad companies began 20
make a roar. They complained to
the public utilities commission. the
people could not find out anytnine
about the arrival or departure o.
trains without going to the station

True AltruiSm

True altruism is that state or
condition of the soul in which all
of its energies and activities are
centered upon the needs and re-
quirements of our common hui
manity. 1t is the stage of devel-
opment where the we'll being and
the advancement of others be-
come the normal occupation of
intelligence. 1t is that stage of
experience where pleasure, re-
creation and entertainment are
found in labor for others. 1t is
that point of individual life
beyond which our happiness con.
sists in the transmission of the
truths we have learned and the
benefits W e have enjoyed.
True altruism is that state Of
being in which the heintelligent SOU
increases its happiness thru
what it may bestow rather than
thru what it gnins. 1t is that
state in which will and desire are
concentrated upon giving in
stead of acquiring.
To the completed individual al,
truism is a JOY and a privilege,
1t is neither a duty norsa sacfi,

Altruism thus interpreted, i:
the opposite pole of egoism. Il
means the substitution of you
and yours" for "I', me" and
