How to Get the Money
Some Secretary Morton How the Money MAJ
Be Mad. o Pay or a Years Schooling a Beea.

Often during the last two years let
tiers have come to my desk from
boys and girls out in the mountains
pleading for q chance to come to Be
rea. In many cases. because of the
lack of funds. have had to say that
we could not receive them. The same
kind OF letters are coming to my desk
now and will be coming thruout the
summer. In many cases a few sugges-
lions as to how to raise the money
necessary for a term or a years
schooling at Berea would solve the
problem for boy or girl and enable
them to carry out their desire for an
education.
Herewith | am venturing TO make
few suggestions to those who live
some distance from a railroad. and IN,
prices | am quoting are those that
may be obtained in eny community a
dozen miles from the railroad.
Hens Will Pay the Bill
Now is the time to set hens. Any
young boy or girl who has a half doz-
en- sitting hens might set about one
hundred eggs, and during the ason
1t is reasonable to suppose that as
many more hons might want to sit,
or, In other words, the boy or girl
might have, six 10 nine months from
now, two hundred chickens. Thirty
laying hens should average nine doz-
en- eggs week. This is not an UNI
reasonable average as it has often
been attained by others than the
writer. These nine dozen eggs per
week at twelve cents per dozen would
bring sl.OS, or. for the purpose Of our
figuring, let us estimate that there
could be obtained 81 per week and,
providing we had laying hens On May
first, there would be from that date
until September 10th, when the fall
term at Berea begins. nineteen weeks
in which to sell sl.00 worth OF eggs
per week, making a total of $500.
Had we six or seven hens which came
off on May first, the same date, we
should have one hundred chicks. Fig
uring that one-third OF them would b.
pullets and two-thirds ROSTERS, IN
nineteen weeks these sixty-six roos-
tiers ought to WEIGH four pounds and
at the price Of chickens, ten cents
per pound, would bring forty cents
making total income for the sixty
seven, $3.50, which. with the $500
from the sale OF eggs, would bring a
total income OF s45.S0. IL would be
necessary to buy corn, wheat, and
perhaps a little oats and buck wheat.
Corn sells at an average price Of fiji
ty cents per bushel. and five barrels
OF corn would be more than sufficient

The total cost OF feeding then would
be $3.50. and, II we allowed $50 for

raising this flock would amount 10

THINK THEY WE'RE SNUBBED
Kentucky Suffragettes are reported
to be very indignant because they
were not given a place on the pro-
gram of the Kentucky Educational
Association which is in session at
Louisville this week. They claim that
they were refused because the lead
crs in the Association feared that
through the spread Of suffrage senti-
ment the women teachers would de-
mand higher salaries-salaries equal
to that of men. The officers of the
Association reply, however, that they
had no objection to giving certain
members O place on the program 10
discuss educational topics and would
have done SO but for the fact that
the program was made out before
they were asked.
The sutfragettes organized coun-
ter-show on lot adjoining the edu-
cational association.

the thirty hens in our original flock
and thirty-four others, giving us a
flock of sixty-four hens to lay eggs
turnout the winter. The income from
the remainder OF the flock, il well
taken care Of, ought to furnish
enough to meet the balance of the
school years expenses.
Profits in Ducks and Geese
We might make about the same
estimate for ducks, for the average
price of ducks for such a community
IL ten cents per pound. the same rs
for chickens. Geese would sell at five
cents per pound and would bring just
half the income IL sold for meat but
with geese the real value is obtain
cd from the feathers. At the present
time one or two firms in the city Of
Cincinnati carry on a large business
buying feathers which are used for
pillows and beds. The average price
of feathers per pound in such a COM
munity is forty cents.
Greater Profits from Turkeys
Turkeys, while hard to raise. much
harder than chickens. bring a larger
price and sell for twelve and one-half
cents per pound. A flock of one hun
bred turkeys raised new and sold 1T
Thanksgiving time ought TO bring at
the very least estimate, seventy-five
cents each. estimating each turkey at
six pounds weight and averaging THE
price at twelve and one-half cents
per pound. This Is the minimum
weight, for an experienced meat man
has just told US that the weight Of
such turkey ought to be from six
to eighteen pounds. IL is therefore
reasonable to assume that some
would weigh more and some would
weigh the minimum of six pounds
but for the purposes of our calcula-
lions we will figure them all to weigh
six pounds and to sell at seventy-five
cents each. thus bringing SIS in cash
Estimating our feed bill at SIS, this
would leave a net profit of $50 or
enough to see any boy or girl from
the mountains thru two terms If
school at Berea and still have enough
money left over to attend some lee
lures and pay laundry bills.
Potatoes and Onions

bring thirty-five to forty dollars. An

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTlSTs'
ISLE

The Pitcairn Islanders do not often
have visitors, but recently the ,inhabi-
tants of this romantic island, insep-
arably connected with the mutiny of
the Bounty, were visited by Mr.. Rob-
ers Hesketh, F.C.LS., while on his
way from Valparaiso to Sydney. On
his return to modern civilization Mr..
Hesketh had some interesting things
TO say anent the life of this strange
little colony The population now
consists solely of Seventh Day Adven-
lists, and numbers $50 all told. They
have a school and a church, and the
choolnaster- is preacher as well as
medical adviser There are sixty-sev
ZEN children under sixteen. The food
of the islanders consists of sweet pota-
toes, little corn, a few yaIns, pump
kins, and tropical fruits. The total
wealth of the islands in English coin
is about f10.
The government of the island is
conducted by a chief magistrate-in-
council, two assessors, chairman OF
internal committee and government
secretary. These positions are all
honorary. All persons over eighteen
years of age, whether male or female,
have vote, and each elector can cast
five votes-one for each officer. The
elections are held between Christmas
and New Year. ts.
Law cases involving a penalty of I'M
der e5 can be tried by the chief mag
.istrate, but over this amount two as
SCISSORS have to be associated with
him. When a man is fined. there be-
ing little or no money on the island,
he has to work it out by repairing the
roads. The days work is started and
concluded with religious ceremony and
the majority of colonists retire at sun
down.
