Thanksgiving AT Covert's

When the frost the punkin' straddes
And the fly in haste ''skedaddles,
And the Autumn leaves have turned quite
brown and scar,
When October greets November
Then tbs time should remember
That grand Thanksgiving Day is almost here.
Have you counted up your blessings
And reviewed them one by one?
If you have not then you'd better,
Ere the setting of the sum-
For you find my jolly neighbor,
If you'll kindly look them Ger
That of ifes great blessings
Was delivered at your door.
Twas a basket of fine groceries
That was left there day by day,
From the leading pure food grocer,
On South Bridge street Ger the way
But in looking Ger this matter,
If your heart weighs quite ton.
Then you've not TRADED AT CovERT's,
AS you surely should have DONE
There's rich salmon fresh from Hawk
And cranberries from the South,
And all kinds of turkey trimmings
Just right for the hungry mouth
Here's the place to buy your goodies
For Thanksgiving on the way.
Here's the place to fill your larder,
For Thanksgiving every day.

is to allow two groups of pupils each
to have pen of about six hens and a
rooster. If there are eight grades in
the school, the grades would be di-
vided equally so that the First, Third,
Fifth and Seventh grades would have
one pen and the Second, Fourth, Sixth
and Eighth grades would have the
other pen. A small prize of some kind
would be offered to the group whose
pen made the best showing during the
school term, it being understood that
each group would have entire charge
of the birds in their pen and would
take care of them. One of the older
pupils would be appointed to keep
track of the eggs laid and of the
money spent for feed for each pen.
Cheap colony houses could be built
for the pens and they should be sepa
rated from each other so that the hens
from one pen would not go into the
other house to lay. The teacher could
see that sensible coops were built
for the birds and after the contest was
started all that would have to be done
"Oulu NC W near lll6 WG6hly Reports
from each pen. In order that com.
petition should be kept up among the
classes, these reports would be read
at the close Of school each Friday by
the person mentioned above Zap
pointed to keep record of the pens).
If the idea of such contest proved
popular with the pupils, it is probable
that the parents of some of them
would be glad to loan them the chick
ems to carry out the contest. 1t is
also probable that the eggs received
from the pens could be taken to town
by some of the older people, and the
feed purchased by them as we'll. The
financial part of the proposition, how
ever, should be left with the pupils,
and it would be necessary for them to
first raise small fund for the cost of
feed and the necessary lumber-un-
less they are fortunate enough to Sc
cure couple of large packing boxes,
which would be good enough to answer
all purposes for such small flocks.

During the past few years several
Of the states have had under consid-
Grafton the question of including in
the regular courses branch devoted
to poultry culture. This has been met
with favor in some parts Of the coun-
try, but the idea has not been tried
out enough yet to prove whether or
not it will be of value to the pupils.
1t should be understood, however, that
the main purpose of such courses is
to benefit only those who intend to
go into farming Tor poultry farming)
upon completion of their school edu-
cation.
The general plan is to include such
a course in the last two years of the
pupils grammar school education. By
the time that the pupils have reached
these grades it is presumed that they
are ready to absorb the more material
things of life and to more readily reap
the benefits from such course.
There is one place, however, in the
schools where poultry is not receiving
is in the rural schools, where the prac-
tice of poultry keeping should be
taught to every pupil in the school
and should form part Of the regular
courses-and an important one, too.
We can readily understand that all
the teachers in these school have all
that they can do to keep up the regu-
lar work of the pupils. The plan given
below, however, if started with the
right idea in the minds Of the pupils,
will not result in any more work on
the part of the teacher other than a
careful watch on the progress of the
contest" Interest in the work may
be lost at times and this is the only
thing that the teacher will have to
watch-to avoid any tagging and to
keep the pupils keyed up to the proper
point of interest in their work.
In the first place, the matter should
be taken up with the entire school
and the proposition put up to them.
They should be told that the scheme

Ibelieve there is enough of strug-

greatest achievement. Against the
stubborn opposition of great bust

tons of wealth. with their shrewd
agents on every hand. many remedi-

giving everybody a square deal.
The great tariff wall, the stronghold

banking and currency laws have
been revised so as to break the
strangle hold of the money trust;
public lands, natural resources and
water power have been safeguarded
for the use of the people; the trusts
have been curbed; and commerce
with foreign countries has been en-

not this administration deserve
credit? Does not every Democratic
Congressman deserve the endorse
