RNR@N M
SHOW In FULL BLAST,
Nth 800 Fancy Birds on Exhibit the
Sbow is the Best in the History of
the Poultry Association.

With the quacking of ducks, the
orowing of roosters, the cackling of
hens and the cooling of pigeons, the
.,;rd annual Henderson County Poul-
.v show opened in Hendersoville
tuesday morning with good attendance,
ICONS filled with some of the choicest
birds in Western North Carolina and
prospects bright for a glowing success.
Although the weather was very in
clement on Monday, birds arrived from
different parts of the county and some
from Asheville with the result that
when the entry lists closed Monday
night there were approximately 800
choice birds on exhibition, represent
ing 100 or mona of the finest exhibits
il this section.
Joseph Wardin, of Charlotte, began
iudging the exhibits Tuesday morning,
finishing Wednesday, when announce
ment was made of the handsome
awards, which will be published in the
Hustler-Democrat next week.
The exhibition opened at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning and will be open day
and night until Thursday night
By reason of the small admission fee
no one is barred from seeing the finest
collection of poultry W exhibited in
Henderson county, the price being
only 10 cents, as a result Of which
the attendance has been unusually
good.
The birds represent about fifty poul-
try raisers, all CT whom + greatly in
interested in the success of this insti-
tUtion.
DR.. C. Few, president of the associa-
ton, is highly enthused over the quail
ity of theexhibits as we'll as the num-
Ter, which is about double that of the
previous shows in this city. Secretary
A. l.. Beck has been extremely busy
for the last few days looking after the
entering and caring for the exhibits
and expresses the highest satisfaction
at the outlook for a most successful
show.
Those who have watched the pro-
gress of the poultry industry in Hen
derson county say that the specimens
this year are much finer than those Of
tie previous shows and it is believed
that his Improvement could mostly be
attributed to the influence the poultry
association has on the raising of i'm
proved birds.
The show is being held in the building
adjoining the Hustler-Democrat en-
Third avenue and in order that sutf-
Gent funds may be raised to defray
the heavy expense of the association
the management is hopeful Of having 4
good attendance on each day and night
OF the show.

Caring For The Children.

In April through the interest of
Mr.. C. j. Weiser, we were the recipi-
ents of a bequest left by Mr.. B..
Anundsen. This brought us $500,
very much needed at the present
time but almost equally pleasant is
the assurance of thorough endorse
ment of our work in Northeastern
Iowa, particularly in DEBORAH. This
gift is opportune in view of the fact
that there is always more work at
hand and in sight than we are able
to meet satisfactorily. We therefore
commend to the attention of others
the interest of Mr.. Anundson, and
of Mr.. Weiser as well.
We trust there will be other
friends of the work reading this edi-
torial who will remember our socie-
ty when making their wills; to such
and others we would be glad to give
information at any time, though all
that is necessary is to mention the
corporate name, Iowa Children Is
Home Society of Des Moines, Iowa. >

a Very Commendable Work.

We note that for the third time
Mr.. E. ]. Weiser, Of Fargo, n. D.,
formerly of this city, has been
elected president of the North Dako-
ia Children's Home Society, an hon
or which has come to him by rea-
son of his deep interest in the care
of unfortunate children. Though an
exceedingly busy man, he has found
time to devote much attention to this
most worthy charity, and his assis-
tance has been very great help to
the society in the northwest.
In the same connection it may be
stated that Mr.. C. j. Weiser of De-
corah has also just been reelected
trustee of the Iowa Children's Home
Society, a position which he too has
honored with substantial benefactions
and business-like supervision for
some years. The Des Moines institu-

and a depth of lis feet
Construction of the building, which
will contain at least two hundred
rooms and will be five stories, is to

Selection of the east side site is
hailed as another recognition of the
future of that section of the city and
particularly of Calumet avenue, as
Ithe coming main thoroughfare OF
Hammond.
With the east side selected for the
new hospital, as well as the manual
training school property owners are
confident of a big increase in real es-
tate values, and continued building
boom for their part of town.
The hospital will be a non-sectarian
institution for the public in general.
Any individual or company may have
the privilege of endowing room or
number of rooms as they may see fit

SUPERVISORS RESPONSIBLE.
New Law Makes il the Duty of Conn
ty Boards to Care For Tubercu-
lar Patients.

The whole responsibility for the
care and treatment of INDECENT per-
sons suffering with pulmonary tu-
bercuIosis is now squarely placed
upon county boards of supervisors.
This was accomplished when last
winter the legislature enacted a law
by which boards of supervisors were
authorized to make adequate provi-
sion for the care and treatment of
persons suffering with this disease.
1t is recognized that hospital care of
this class of individuals is the only
proper method by which to control
the spread of their dreadful infec-
ton. The people are thoroughly
aroused to this necessity and are de-
handing of the men invested with
this responsibility that something be
done.
The law is plain. 1t authorizes
county boards to either provide To-
cal hospitals or to arrange with in
situations already in operation for the
proper care of tuberculous sick
Boards may eXpend $500 per week
per patient so treated. The law is
regarded as most beneficient and ev-
erywhere, well-informed people are
demanding that supervisors shall ex-
anime carefully into the question. A
cursory investigation reveals the
fact that there are few cities in the
state which do not have a number of
advanced consumptives who need
immediate hospital care. They are
Ia menace to the entire community
and humanity demands that they
shall be properly treated. 1t would
be well if intelligent men and wo-
men formed themselves into groups
to study the whole question of the
control and relief of tuberculosis and
its great value to humanity. 1t
would be we'll to communicate at
once with the department on tuber-
culosis, regarding the matter. 1t
may be interesting to know that
quite a number of boards of super
visors are already planning to carry
out the law.
