developed yesterday when his con
tract was received.
Hurley is a small mining camp and
there was but one notary public in
the camp. Donavon said that If he
had taken his contract to this no
tary to be sworn, that it would be
known all over the camp in short
time that he intended to leave. That
meant that he would lose his job on
the spot. 1t finally did get out. how

is on the hand that the Federal's con-
tract is just as good as the Ameri-
can or National contract. The reserve
clause, must soon be interpret
ed if the fight proceeds, in any direct
line and not merely work in a circle.
The contention Of organized baseball
is that players who signed with the
Feds were not free to assume a new
contract, being held under the re-
serve clause. The Esd contract there
fore had no standing, according to
their way OF figuring, and the player
consequently had no contract to VIC

their old places.

Educational
 -

All necessary supplies for holding the Annual School Election, May 18th, were mailed to the secretaries of the different school districts, April 23rd. Enumeration blanks, contract blanks, etc, were included. Warrant books, registers and such other supplies as may be needed may be had by address ing the County Superintendent at Brinkley or by calling at his office at Clarendon on the second and fourth Saturdays in each month.
 COUNTY UNIFORMITY OF TEXT
 BOOKS
 This county has had county uniformity of textbooks for the past six years. The present adoption expires next November. At present each common school district in the county is using the same kind of text books. A family moving from one school district into another does not have to provide a new set of books for each child sent to school. The books now in use were selected by a committee of five teachers.
 Without county uniformity, each district may use any text, books it wishes. There could then be thirty eight different sets of textbooks in use in the county a different set for each district. This would hardly be the case but it would be possible.
  Every move of a family from one school district to another might necessitate a new supply of books for each child sent to school.
 To carry, county uniformity requires majority of all who vote in the election and not a majority of those who vote on the question of county uni- formity.
 Special districts do not vote on the question of county uni- formity.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
 DEPARTHENT
By Wm J. Johnston. County Correspondent U. s.
 Agricultural Dept.
MAY Is DESIGNATED AS ROOSTER R DAY IN KENTUCKY AND
 TENNESSEE

In the interest of the infertile egg the poultry specialists have started a campaign for the elimination of the rooster among poultry focks during the seasons between May 1 and December 1. In this connection Saturday, May 16, has been set aside by the people of those States as rooster day in Kentucky and Tennessee, when every poultry dealer in these States has greed 10 pay the same prices for roosters as they do for hens and bullets. There is an enormous loss in eggs as the result of the fertile egg. especially during the summer and fall months. and it is for this reason the department recommends that the rooster be kept away from the hens during these seasons.
 Fertile eggs spoil very quickly when subjected to the ordinary methods of handling on the farm and when marketed during the hot summer months under adverse conditions. Infertile eggs will keep in good condition in temperatures which will cause fertile eggs to rot.
 It is estimated that one-third of the tremendous annual loss of eggs is due to the fertile egg.
 The department specialists advise that on the 1st of May all male birds be either killed, sold, or confined until the 1st of December, or as late as the 1st of January in some localities, inasmuch as it is not necessary to the laying qualities of a hen that a rooster be maintained in the flock. Moreover, his presence during those months means fertile eggs, which mean bad eggs and the consequent loss to the producer and consumer.

CHURCH SHOULD ADVERTISE
clergymen Should Adopt Modern Methods to Fill Empty Pe.Ss,
 Declares Preacher.

By REV. FRANK E. EBRIGHT. (Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
 Church at Whitestone. L. I)
 If any one has common sense he ought to use it. This is just as i'm portant in the ministry as in busi- ness, finance. politics or war.
 People who are in rut make no progress. Those who are stupidly following pre1udices, sentiment or the exploded notions of their grand fathers are not progressive.
 If clergyman finds his audience fs small f As- h1s duty to find ways end means to fu the empty pews. If a department store can i'll it's aisles by announcements in the press. if doc to1s can spread the teachings of clean lfness and hygiene through the col umns of newspapers and if theaters can be filled by billboard announce ments-then we have set of facts which minister of the gospel may well consider.
 If there is lesson for him to learn from this he is stupid not to learn it. This is an age of the printing press and the dissemination of knowledge through type and white paper. Is there any sound reason why pro gressive clergyman should not resort to these modern instruments of pub licity to fill the empty pews in his church?
 If then, we are agreed that the pub licity of the printing press is legitl mate and effective, why should clergy men not make use of 1t? can sec nothing but a purely sentimental ob- jection. The medical profession. bound by ancient traditions. has felt 1t 'unethical" to advertise-but this stupid superstition is being broken down by the really intelligent men of the profession. The day will come when all progressive clergymen will feel as I do that every legitimate fn- strument must be used to draw the attention of mankind to the greatest and most profound business of all- the saving of mems souls.
 When took charge of the Epworth Methodist Episcopal church at White stone, Long Island, I found the audi ence smaller than they should be. reasoned that 1t was my duty to in- crease these congregations by attract ing attention to the church. The first advertisement that I published in- creased the attendance in my church one-third, and I feel that my convic- tions have been amply justified.

Osaue OranQe.

The osage orange is native of North America and is generally used as hedge. In some instances it at tains a height of 60 feet. The fruit is not poisonous, but Is seldom, if ev- CT, eaten, being filled with woody fiber and a milky juice which Is far from attractive to the taste.
