CURLING BOOSTERS
NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
Meet to Let Light Contract
But They Talk About the
Weather Instead.

The directors Of the Grand Forks
Curling club met this morning.
For about an hour they passed
around enough gloom to fill all the
coal houses in the city.
This pastime was started when Con-
tractor Rudser reported that the rink
would be completed one week from
tonight.
The meeting was called to consider
the question of letting the lighting
contract. but it resolved itself into q
discussion of ways and means Of maxi
ing the rink fit for skating and curl
ing.
Occasionally the lighting contract
was mentioned. In order that they
might give their full attention to the
ice problem, the directors decided to
delay action On letting the contract.
When A. A. Pelletier, one of the
Canadian gentlemen who are to man.
age the rink, arrives in the city, the
contract will be awarded.
Whether or not the directors
thought Mr.. Peiletier would bring ice
with him is not known, when they
adjourned, they were beyond speak
ing for publication.
Not that they didn't say anything.
Oh, no Zantippe! But the careful pro-
lection given the English language by
postal authorities precludes any re-
cording Of their u%tterances

RELIGION FILLS
LIFE With JOY
Declares DR.. Clarence Bar
bour in Address to the
University Students

The Joy Of Living was the theme
Of an address given by DR.. G. A. Bar
bour Of New York before the students
Of the state university Friday night,
at. Woodwork hall. in connection with
the religious campaign which he Is
conducting at the university.
Health, work, friends and religion
are all factors entering into this joy,
according to DIR. Barbour. One of the
greatest joys which comes to men,
he declared, is the consciousness Of
being in the right relation with the
divine.
why cannot the lawyers, the BUSH
ness men and the teachers have this
joy?" he asked, without this har-
mony with the divine people cannot
have the real Joy of life."
Sin is the great Joy stealer, ac-
cording to DIR. Barbour. 1t separates
a man from his own best self, from
his best friends, and from God. It
saps the Joy of living. "a man ought
to be getting ready here for the life
that follows this, and in order to do
so he must live a life Of service to
his fellow men," declared the. speaker.

FOR SUCCESS WITH POULTRY
Practical Way Of Building Up laying
Strain Of Hens is TO Breed Those
With Best Records.

Trap nests are the best gnide.posts
to success. They point out the hens
that are doing good work. and expose
the drones. They not only tell you
how many eggs each individual hen
laying In year. but they also point
out the color OF the shell and the
shape OF the egg.
The time Is near at hand when hens
will be sold on their egg records, and
prices governed accordingly.
II Is an excepted fact that the only
way to build up a laying strain Of
hens is TO breed from those giving the
best records, says the Farm Journal.
BY annually picking out the best OF
the flock, II is possible each year to
increase the average OF the flock.
In line with the introduction of
trap nesting came the question of the
laying hens giving a better percent
age of fertile eggs as well as reeeiv-
ing an extra allowance Of feed. II IL

Trap Nests.

is one that is not laying It remained
for a man by the name of Albert
Angel, Jr., to strike the proper idea.
In this direction.
Briefly stated, this system consists
of house and yard divided into two
unequal parts. One side is large,
enough for IL hens, and the smaller
side is for the cock. In the house are
trap nests with two openings Every
night the hens are put In the larger
house. The cock stays permanently
In his own quarters. Every hen tbat
lays an egg or enters a trap nest
goes out into the apartment with the
male. When night comes, the laying
hens are all with the male and they
then are returned to their own side Of
the house and yard, to 20 through the
same process each day. In the morn
ing the male bird is alone. The trap
nest is made by simply fashioning
two light doors, using one-inch mesh
wire netting. The door to the nest
which the hen enters TO lay is hinged
from the inside, and is pushed open
by the hen, and closes behing her.
The door in the rear of the nest open-
ing out into the cocks yard, is hinged
from the outside. When the hen en-
tiers the cocks pen she can not re-
turn, as will readily be seen. These
doors, or gates, are light, and work
easily and should be the size of the
entrance Of the next box and hinged
to the top.
The illustration, a popular make Of
trap nests, such as is used on many of
the large poultry farms. A shows
trap nest turned to open nest.
B shows nest closed after hen
has entered. C shows trap set,
When hen is through laying she
will stick her head out OF the nest
and cackle, and should then be re-
leased.
On the leg Of each hen is placed
an aluminium band on which is stamp
ed number. Upon opening the door
of the trap the hen is picked up and
her number ascertained This is then
written on the egg, and at night Q
record is made of these numbers.

While the marriage market has been
called wicked custom, and has served
for countless sermons as warning. It had
some very excellent points The daugh.
ters were not sold into slavery, but into
honorable wifehood. OF course, they had
no choice. and the element of bidding ia
probably repugnant to many women OF
today. but the customs of the time were
different. and it is extremely likely that
the Babylonan girls looked forward with
much delight to the day when they would
be auctioned off to some one who cared
enough for them to pay large sums for
them.
Besides that the sale of the beautiful
daughters enabled the ugly ones to get
married, and this in a very odd way The
money that was paid for the beauties was
given as dowries for the ugly ones.
Herodotus says once year the maidens
o. age to marry in Babylon were collected
at the marriage market while the men
stood around them in circle" Then
herald called up the damses one by one
and offered them for sale.
He began. continues Herodotus, with
the most beautiful When she was sold
for no small sum of money he offered for
sale the one who came next to her In

wives. The richest of the Babylonians
who wished to wed bid against each other
