CHRISTIAN CHURCH
BAZAAR A SUCCESS

The Christian Church bazaar held
last Saturday afternoon and evening
proved to be one Of the most success
full as well as the most remunerative
affairs held this winter. The flower
parcel post, fancy work and candy
booths were prettily decorated and
were well patronized throughout the
afternoon and evening.
The most novel feature of the aft
ernoon was parody on "The Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.' Ruth
Noland, impersonating fairy, was
enthroned in dainty blue slipper on
a platform covered with dolls of
every description, which was drawn
up and down the hall by a group Of
children dressed in Kewpie costumes.
Raymond Robinson, Eleanor Hobby,
Marjorie Helms, Evelyon McCombs,
Neil Ross and Willis Carey made a
charming gathering of Kewpies.
Light refreshments were served dur
ing the afternoon and in the evening
charming matrons presided over ta-
bles, where a delightful repast was
served

Rowing Races.

San Diego, Dec. 7.-Despite a

'Shepherd of the Hills"
Will Draw Well Again

Occasionally some play strikes a
note that rings out clear and true
in the midst of the commonplace and
impresses its auditor with the thought
that it was written, not for gain, not
for pastime, but because some man
had something to say to other men
and he took this means of express
sion.
"The Shepherd of the Hills" Har-
old Bell Wright's dramatization of his
novel of the same name, is this kind
of play. Mr.. Wright had felt with
in his soul the peace and beauty of
the hills and he wished to set down
their meaning before him. He made
a play that in plot is compelling, one
that never fails in sincerity. The
people who move in it are so human
that the auditor will pick them out
for like and dislike as if he really
knew them.
There is the shepherd, the man who
came to the hills to learn, and re
mained to teach; Old Mat, who cher
ished the memory of wrong that
could never be righted; Young Mat, a
Hercules of the hills country, whose
strength of heart and soul equaled
the strength of his body; Sammy
Lane, bright and buoyant with the
youth of the hill country, and the
other quaint characters that enliven
the play with humor.
The scene of the play is in the high
hills of the Ozark mountains. He
mists of the valleys, the glories of
the sunsets, the magnificent vistas
from the SUBMITS have been brought
out by the wonderful ingenuity of the
scenic artist and electricians craft.
1t is the spirit of the land that Mr..
Wright has caught that makes the
play one that. is unique and one that
will stand in field of its own.
"The Shepherd of the Hills" will
be the attraction at the Opera House,
Friday and Saturday, December i and
II. The enormous popularity of the
Harold Bell Wright novels indicates
that the second annual engagement Of
this, his first play, will prove a great
er popular success with patrons of

IMPERIAL VALLEY
HAS PECULIARITIES

Imperial Valley may be unparalleled
for its fertility and wide diversity of
crops, but it also has its peculiari-
ties, according to c. w. Hayes, I'm
perial county representative at the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
and lecturer at the San Francisco
exposition in 1915.
where wood will sink and rocks
will float; where we dig for wood and
climb for water" said Mr.. Hayes, in
speaking Of the valley. When asked
by Press reporter to explain himself
Hayes laughed.
Il often use that phrase on the
lecture platform and later there are
sure to be some people who come to
me for an explanation"
The ironwood Indigenous to this
county will sink like stone. and
pumice, which is practically the only
rock formation we have here, will float
like cork. Mesquite, which ordinar-
lily grows on hummocks, has to be
uprooted to get the heaviest part of
the growth. Really there isn't any
water below the surface of the earth
in the valley except in a few places,
and if man is digging he would GER
tainly have to come to the top fo,
water if he wanted drink.
Hayes explanation was quite sim
ple-after he made it.

Jubilee Singers-One Of the novel
features Of the entertainment by the
California Jubilee Quartet, at the
Holt Opera House Wednesday and
Thursday, is the performance Of the
double voiced singer, John c. Payne.
This talented singer has a wonder
full lyric soprano and baritone combi-
nation of voices. When he changes
in the middle of a song the effect
is almost startling and people are
often at a loss to know just how 10
take it. This man-soprano goes up
t. ID above the staff and on the high
er notes trills like any well trained
lyric soprano. The Pomona Progress
says: "Mr. Payne rendered a soprano
solo in a manner which would have
done credit to Mrs. Porter Collins,
the famous soprano who earned such
reputation in the East with the
original Tennesseeans years ago" Mr..
Payne comes out rugged up in a styl-
ish gown and many in the audience
are led to believe that he is really a
lady who had been concealed behind
the scenes, until he gives an encore
in a robust baritone.

A Weekly Page of Poultry Hints

poultry house will be protected some
from the severe north winds. In a
house located where the surface wa
ter collects, the floor is sure to be
damp. All successful poultrymen
know that damp floor is one of the
worst conditions to have in chick
en- house. For this reason. when Sc
lecting a site for a poultry house,
choose location little higher than
the surrounding ground.
A good poultry house should be as
simple in construction as possible.
Absolutely no fancy work of any de-
scription. A good many put in fancy
door frames and unnecessary window
castings. These are absolutely worth
less except for appearance, and ap-
pearances will certainly never make
hens lay.

FEEDING THE CHICKEN.

~ HIEF among the different ele-
~ ments necessary for balanced
ration are-Proteids, Carbohy-
drates, Animal Foods, Vegetable
Foods.
Proteids-So called because they
are high in proteid matter. embrace
the following: Cottonseed meal, flax
meal, linseed meal, gluten meal,
brewers dried grains, malt sprouts,
wheat bran, middlings, etc. Because
these foods are high in protein, you
must not feed too heavy, because the
system will absorb or assimilate just
SO much; over that will cause bowel
and other troubles. Some foods con-
tain too much protein.
Carbohydrates These embrace
such starchy foods and heating foods
as corn, cornmeal, cob meal, hominy
meal, ground oats, barley, buck
wheat, etc. Feed these mixed, or a
different variety for each meal. They
furnish the fuel for the body, keep
ing it in warmth, keeping the steam
up" one might call it. If fed too
excessively, it will cause over-fatness.
Animal Food-These are COM
posed, in part, of the following: Milk,
beef scrap, blood meal, green bone,
etc. These foods are by far the rich
est of the lot, and are essential for
egg production. Milk is most excel
lent Of all; beef scrap easily OBJ
tanned; green bone, the most danger
GUS of all, as it is very easy to put a
fowl off its feed by its use.
Green foods are alfalfa meal, Glow
er meal, sprouted grains, cabbage,
beets, etc, All domestic fowls should
have some green food to balance the
ration. 1t is very essential.
The most important part in feed
ing, is not what, but how much, and
how often is the question Six ounces
Of feed daily should be the required
amount Of feed supplied to fowls
that are laying. Do not forget that
oyster shells, charcoal and grit are
also very much needed and cannot
be dispensed with. Green cut bone,
II fed with care, is very valuable and
is resultant in full egg basket if it
does not cause bowel trouble.

ing stopper on these small but tor
.menting creatures. A hand spray
pump and a gallon Of coal oil will do
wonders in the hands of an expert
sprayer.
The spray is for the eggs of the
insects and for such insects as are in
hiding in cracks and on roosts. For
the bird itself use any good insect
powder, and sprinkled clear down
through the feathers once a month.
Hold the fowl by the legs and miss
no part of its plumage.

THE SICK FOWL.
FHE SICK FOWL is always an

THE SICK FOWL is always an
especially hard proposition to
come up against. Poulterers
should know and realize that it is
easier and wiser to watch for the
first symptoms of disease than it is
to check or cure it when it has come.
The fowl has peculiar digestive or
gans. Whatever is to reach them
must first go into the crop, and the
crop is apt, in case of disease, to
stop its operation the first thing, so
that medicines find difficulty in get
ting into circulation and doing their
part in healing

DISINFECTING.

no NOT suppose that because you
- have sprinkled or sprayed even
the best disinfectants over the
roosts and houses, you have really
achieved removal of the evils. To
really disinfect, a house must be
swept, walls, floor, roof; the air
must have good chance to do its
sweeping through it; light must be
let in, and then every square inch of
the space occupied by the fowls must
be made dripping wet with the disin-
fecting solution. 1t is easily possible
to get too little. 1t is not so easy
to get too much.

my own course in dealing with such
matters. No one will be responsible
for what I do except myself. The
matter of making Mr.. Coleman a
scape goat is not palatable to me.
Who is responsible for Mr. Coleman
and the position he held? The people
who were responsible for him were
perfectly familiar with Mr.. Coleman
and his history. I want to say in con-
nection that I am writing under as
much restraint as l can put upon my
self. I do not want to hurt the feel
ings of those I respect SO highly, but
these things grows up me. | think
some things bigger than I, and I
hardly think are depreciative to per-
