W. G. T. U. Reception
To the Teachers

The reception given by the Won
ans Christian Temperance Union. to
the teachers, at the residence OF
Mr.. Guy Toph, was a very enjoy
able affair. The teachers appre-
ciate being drawn together in this
social way and the parent who is &C.
quainted with his child's teacher
has the advantage over those who
are mot, in that there can be more
perfect cooperation. More than
fifty attended the reception. The
program was short but interesting.
Mrs. Peterman gave an enjoyable
piano solo. Mrs. Wilson made q
welcome speech, responded to by
Prof. Jones. Rev. Patterson gave
some interesting thoughts on "Why
Teach Temperance in the Public
Schools" A song, "A Saloonless
Nation in 1920" was sweetly sung
by Gladys Turner and Helen Shaffer.
accompanied by Mrs. Peterman. A
very instructive talk on How to
Teach Temperance" was made by
Mrs. Dr.. Hanna. A game of feath-
err blowing was INDUCED in by the
younger teachers. Divided names
were then passed around and part
ners were hunted up for an "egg
contest" beginning with the ques-
ton "How should these questions be
answered" "Eggsactly." Prof {.
Jones and DR.. Hanna will pass to

possible out of the names of the
bride and groom-to-be, Ave minutes
being the time given in which to
form the words. Miss Margaret
Southland was the winner of the
prize, having SO words on her list i.
The most important and most in
teresting part of every shower is
when the gifts are bestowed upon
the bride-to-be, and as little Ruth
Bryan and Dorothy Cardwell,
dressed in pretty white dresses and
pink ribbons, came into the parlor
carrying pink and white basket
filled with mysterious packages. the
assembly settled down to enjoy a de-
lightful half hour inspecting the
many beautiful gifts Of linen on

II the flock Is not culled every year
1t will deterioriate rapidly.
Attention to detail often means sue
cess in the poultry business.
The merits of the scratching shed
are shown during bad weather.
The incubator should be in readi-
ness before it is time to start 1t.
Overcrowding is one of the worst
and most frequent mistakes made by
poultrymen.
Allow chickens of all sizes a good
dust bath. They enjoy it, from the,
smallest to the largest.
Dry mash, charcoal and grit can be
fed in a box covered with halfinch
poultry netting, without waste.
Don't keep unsightly or crippled
chickens, even though they have been
valuable birds in their day.
Some tell the sex of the guinea fowl
by it's wattles. Those of the male are
double the size of the female.
Some of the causes or roup are sud
den and extreme changes in tempera-
ture, damp houses and draughts.
A good poultryman is industrious,
not easily discouraged, filled with
pluck and grit and full of ambition.
Have your fowls so tame that you
can go among them without causing
fright. You will get better egg pro-
! duction.
Excited men and women make ex-
cited birds, and that has a bad effect
on the egg-producing mechanism Of
the birds.
DO not put males in adjoining pens
with only netting between them. Have
twelve-inch board at the bottom OF
| each partition.

An Optimist.

Ole Uncle Finn was a good old chap
But he never seemed fer to carearap
If the sun forgot
To rise some day,
Just like as not
Ole Finn would say:
Uncommon dark, this here we're in
But faint so bad as it might "a
been
But big cyclone came long one
day,
An the town was wrecked and
blowed away.
When the storm had passed
We stood around
And thought at last
Ole Finn had found
The state O things he was buried in
About as bad as it could "a been.
So we dug I'm out G. the twisted
wreck,
And lifted rafter off his neck.
He was bruised an cut,
And sight to see;
He was ruined, but
He says, says he,
With a weak look round and a
smashed up grin,
faint half so bad as it might "a
been!'
But after all, it's the likes O Finn
Makes this world fit fer Twin in.
When days are drear
And skies are dark,
It's good 10 hear
Some ole cuss bark,
Nov see here son" with a cheer
full grin,
faint half so bad as it might
"a been!"

BY MRS. E. r. HEWITT,
President of Women's Municipal league
New York city.

New York city.
The women who don't meet their
own little responsibilities are often
the very ones who are on the lookout
for bigger ones.
It's bore to see that our own ash
cans are of the right size, and it's 50
much more interesting to hustle about
and make the public conscious of its
responsibility about something.
We women of the better class are
the worst offenders, because we know
what We ought to do. and we don't do
it. Somehow we feel outside of the
law. The poor are made to feel its re-.
strictions much more sharply.
Cleanliness is an instinct with WON
en- that has survived in spite of the
fact that we are all fundamentally lay
and many are untidy. 1t has survived.
l think, because it makes for health.
l don't blame the men for being I'M
tidy. because 1t isn't their fault. We
haven't brought them up properly, and
nature didn't make them so to begin
with. We haven't been stern enough
with them. For one thing, we don't
make them ashamed to look US in the
eye when they come into the house just
after throwing cigar away in the
street before entering. We don't OBJ
ject to their lazy ways so long as they
don't bring the stumps in with them.
There you have the root of the whole
matter-we don't, any of us, feel our
own responsibility in the little things
that 20 to make our streets dirty, our
city bad example of municipal SANTA
ton.
You can't legislate virtue and clean
mad on the subject Of making laws
| and quite Indifferent to enforcing
them. We are not law abiding citi-
zens; we are chronic breakers of the
| law. We adore the order that we find
| i'll European cities and wonder why
we can't have it here. That order is
| imposed from authority above; here ii
| must come from within If it comes at
| all. If we don't like that kind of sell
| government we may go and live else
| where. but while we are here we mus,
abide by our self made rules if W.
would have order and good health.
Enforcement of the rules of sanitati0n
lies with the woman ut the head of the
| house.
The Womans Municipal league is
making propaganda for cleaner city
by disseminating information about
the rules and regulations which W,
would follow if we tried to be law
abiding citizens. 1t is divided into sec
lions, each of which is captained ana
organized like a separate county in 4
state and through which the work i,
being done. One of the most recent
activities of the league was the meas
uring of ash cans. which revealed :
very distressing state of affairs-t,
wit, that the greater number wert
diversified ana only imposed upon the
city's ash can bumper Il harder tasE
than his should be.

The Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean

in the transcontinental route stu
alton. The new highway was

The entire route from Ocean t.
Ocean is passable today, and it is
the intention through the various
state divisions to push the rapid
development of every section. The
Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean High
way Association is not relying on
any outside aid. L announces that
the road has been and will be de,
veloped by the cities, towns, coun-
ties and states through which it
passes. This independent attitude
Oh the part of IT'S organizers, backed
up by the substantial progress that
has already been made by each OF
the state units means that the road
. will not merely passable but thor
oughly practical for the present sea,
son, and that it will be developed
rapidly along such lines of road
construction as may be best suited
to the varying local needs and con
ditiOns.
1t is claimed for this transcOnti
mental route that it is the central
and most direct across the country
On the map it follows the same lat,
itude and appears as nearly &
