A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which can never be filed.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.

To Help Crop Movement.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The treasury
department today began making de-
posits of the additional S50,000,00O
government funds that are to be placed
with banks in the agricultural states
to aid in the crop movement. The
first deposits were made in the re-
serve cities in the Southern states,
among which, it is unoficially stated,
were Baltimore, Nd, Richmond, Va,
Atlanta, Ga., and Memphis, Tenn,
the three latter each receiving $3.50, 200.
The apportionment of the funds has
been completed, according to informa-
ton at the department. 1t was state d
unoficially that the largest deposits
would be made with the national
banks at Chicago, this being the most
important reserve city in the agricul-
tursI states. The next largest deposits
are to be made at St. Louis, with Bal
timore third and New Orleans fourth.
No official announcement of the
amount sent to these cities has been
made, but unoffcially it has been
learned that Baltimore will receive
between S1,o0o,o0o and s2,ooo,O0o and
that Chicago and St. Louis will divide
in the neighborhood of s15,oO0,00o;
The New Orleans banks, it was
learned unoficially, will receive about
s1,000,OOC.

Paint Put-on

Think of paint put-on and not by the
gallon.
A gallon of paint in the can is of no
account to anybody. Put it on. Now
reckon it's cost and value.
The secret is: one paint goes twice
rs far as another. A good one goes
>Svice as far as bad one.
You have job, say an average job.
ItN take 10 gallons DeYoe and II or 10
or IS or 20 of middling poor, very-poor
and trash. You know painters wages
in your town. Put the price of a gal
Ion of paint and thepainter's day-wage
together. You can, we can't.
Deyoe costs less than any inferior
naint: there are hundreds of them.
One paint is as good as another. so
long as it lasts good; one lasts months
and another years; and the one that
goes furthest lasts longest.
DEvOE
Harmon Drug Co. sell it.

CULLlNG OUT THE
UNDESIRABLE HENS
All Fowls That Have Passed
Term of Usefulness Should
Be Sent to Market.

1t is always seasonable to Gull out
the undesirable birds from a flock.
All hens that have passed their term
of usefulness should be marketed.
While calling should be continued
throughout the entire year, the most
heroic work should be done in the
fall
What are called yearlings in poultry
are those which were hatched the year
before the pullets. They are nearer
two years old than one, and make ex-
cellent breeders. After breeding pick
out of this flock those that are con-
sidered Improbable
What we call the twoyear-olds
are the ones that are going into their
second molt. Very often some excel
lenth layers are found among these,
and 1t pays to keep them, but at that
age the closer we Gull the better will
be our profits This culling, however,
can only be successful by close watch
ing.
No matter how valuable hen may
be, If she proves to be feather pull
er or an egg eater, she, too, should be
sent with the culls to market.

MUSIC MAKES BAD MEN GOOD
So Says Columbus (o.) Warden After
His Experience With His
Orchestra.

Columbus, O.-Not a prisoner has
been guilty of an infraction of the
prison dining hall rules since the
eleven-plece orchestra has been enter
tanning the men during meal time
Two weeks ago the warden conceived
the idea of having the prison orchestra
play in the two dining halls. The mu-
sicians play in one hall at noon and
in the other in the evening, but the
two halls are so close together that
the music from one can be heard in
the other.
In this way nearly 1000 convicts
have the uplifting influence of music.
Under the old plan, Warden Thomas
said about half the fights were start
ed in the dining room. Good music,
the warden thinks, does not necessar
lily mean classical music, and on each
program there is a goodly sprinkling
of popular music, including ragtime.
Warden Thomas is considering the
advisability of forming two crack mil
itary companies. II the plan under
way materializes, one company will be
of white prisoners and the other of col
ored. Residing temporarily behind the
bars are former members of the L. S.
army and the National Guard of other
states who might be used to start the
two companies.
