NORMAL SOCIETIES
HOLD JOINT SESSION

The joint open session of the Nikati-
ima-Clary literary societies held at
the Normal auditorium Saturday
night was one of the most successful
and altogether delightful entertain
ments ever given by these two popu-
lar societies. Much of the charm of
the entertainment is due to the untir-
ing efforts of Miss Mary A. Bernard,
who so ably assisted in preparing the
program, the feature of which was
"The New Woman comedy of A.
d., 1850. The following interesting
program was rendered:
Society Song.
Reading-Irpeel Paxson.
Making Him Feel at Home" rep.
resentative from Crestomath Society
Clara Hudson.
Solo-Miss Iris Hubbard.
Greetings from the Wingo Society
Vernon Thompson.
Boys Glee Club.
Piano Solo-Myrtle Lewelling.

POULTRY PROFITS
S35O0OOOO RECEIPTS II
JOHN II. PAGES WEEKLY LET.
TER TO THE FARMERS OF
ARKANSAS.

The poultry industry is of great inn
portance in this country and should
have more attention among the farm
ers. The receipts from poultry and
eggs in Arkansas amounts TO more
than $30,000,000 annually. Last year
1T amounted to about S35 900 900
Compare this with the cotton crop and
you will get some idea of it's magni-
tude. The farmers themselves, whose
wives and sons and daughters raise
the poultry, do not recognize the full
value of poultry as farm asset. 1t
will pay the farmers to build houses,
make coops and provide the proper
equipment necessary to give the best
opportunity to that branch of the do
nestle circle having the poultry inter
ests in charge.
One of the most profitable features
of poultry is overlooked by the farm
err. AS a matter of fact, about the
most profitable feature is for the
farmer to cat the chickens and eggs
produced on his premises. A dozen
eggs will weigh a pound and half,
and a chicken, the right size for
broiler, will weigh two pounds. The
eggs, when sold to the country mer-
chant, who in turn ships to the com
mission merchant, usually bring from
10 to Is cents dozen, and the chick
ems from 50 to $50 a dozen. At the
same time, side meat costs at least Is
cents q pound, and ham and break
fast bacon cost 90 to 80 cents a pound.
The eggs if salable at Is cents a doz-
en-, would bring only 10 cents a pound
and the chickens would bring less. So
why can't the farmer save money by
eating eggs and chickens? Too many
farmers overlook this contrast and
take the poultry and eggs to market
and sell it for less than it is worth to

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS

Harold Bell Wright, the author of
"The Shepherd of the Hills" which
comes to the Grand tonight, is con-
eeded to be the most popular Ameri-
can novelist. No modern authors
books have had anything like the sale
that has been accorded to Mr..
Wrights works.
Nearly everyone is familiar with
the characters in THE Shepherd of
the Hills" They are people out of
the ordinary run of life-people
whose veins run good, rich, red blood.
They do things in a natural, human
way; they love and hate with deep
passion.
In making a play Of his novel, Mr..
Wright, with the assistance of Els
burg W. Reynolds and Lem b. Park
err, has retained all the dramatic mo-
ments of the story and enlarged upon
the character of "Preachin' Bill"
making a character Of him that will
be long remembered by theater-goers.
the love between Sammy
Lane and Young Matt is the pivot
upon which the play revolves.
Messrs. Gaskill & MeVitty. the pro-
ducers, have mounted the play in
manner and given il a cast
that promises to prove unique in the
matter Of types.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DIR. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
Christian Charity, SCI Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and hnd that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful Tor
having been made acquainted wen
them. We have had good results IN
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diffi-
Guilty is overcome The shape OF
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence Of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
