Enthusiastic Singing IS
Feature at Tabernacle
Services at Mechanicsburg
Special TO The Telegraph

Mechanicsburg, Pa, Jan. 16. - If
anyone thinks Mechanicsburg is lack
ing in religious enthusiasm, just let
him come to the Miller tabernacle
meetings. From the instant Professor
Hohgatt swings the big choir into
song, the congregation is alive. And
the people sing. Yes, and whistle, too.
Everybody enjoys that part of the ser
vice and when the professor asked the
boys and girls on the two front seats
to whistle the chorus, they responded
with vigor. An effective part of the
program last evening was the song,
1.-THE Word of God Shall Stand" by
the choir, each member holding high
a Bible. Among the ministers present
were the Rev. A. S. Fasick, district
superintendent of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, who led in prayer and
the Rev. Mr.. Hall, of Shiremanstown,
who read the scripture. A duet was
sung by Miss Cree and Professor Hoh-
gait. "Backsliders' was the subject
of the sermon delivered by Evangelist
Miller.
To-day was scheduled for a big
children's Cay, with a parade in the
afternoon, and booster chorus choir
tonight Last night was dollar
night" and the collection amounted to
one hundred dollars.

Miss Fairfax
Answers Queries
MARRY HER

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty-five, and two years ago
I kept company with lady of the
same age. We were engaged, but ow-
ing to other peoples opinions we
gradually drifted apart. Two weeks
ago we met and resumed our friend
ship, and I should like to know If 1t
would be best for me to marry this
girl. She is a girl of neat appearance
and very plain. 1 felt greatly attract
ed to her when we first met, and 1
heard these expressions very often
such as "I wonder whatever made
him pick her out" etc. She is taller
than /, and that fact, coupled with
the above remarks, got me discour-
aged and I gave it up. My parents
think q great deal of her and vice
versa, but it is just other people who
hold me back. What would you do?
PERPLEXED.
BY all means marry the girl you
love- The people who are discussing
your affairs have nothing to offer you
in place of the love you are weak
mindedly giving up because of their
criticisms. After all, what difference
does 1t make to you what anybody else
thinks about your choice since you
know that you love her and would be
happy with her. Can't you see how
absurd you are and how unfair both
to the girl you love and to yourself?
Have a mind of your own. People
will respect you the more for it.

How to Combine
Utility With Fancy

Many mistaken notions have
been entertained by the breeders
of utility and fancy fowls. So
much so that one might almost
think they were different kind
of animal.
The fancy breeder has had the
best of it because for high-grade
stock he has had to breed for the
very qualities that utility fowl
should possess-that is, good lay
ers-in addition to the points for
fine appearance. The plain look
ing good layer has been discounted
too much. However, beauty and
productiveness can be combined.
Next weeks article will tell how.
Look for it, appearing eXclu
sively next week in the Telegraph.

WHITE WYANDOTTES
BY Louis Paul Graham

1t has small fine bones, is very full in
breast development and grows big
evenly, maintaining good flesh at all
ages.
The hens are remarkable layers of
large tinted brown eggs. (In some
strains the shell color is almost white,
in others it is coffee brown. They
will become broody, sit, hatch and
rear chickens. making excellent moth
ers. The chicks are hardy and vigor-
Gus, growing rapidly and feathering
most rapidly of all the American
breeds. When full grown the males
weigh from 6 "a to 8 pounds, the fe-
males from 8 Y to pounds The pull
lets mature at from 8 to months of
age. All Wyandottes are generally
recognized as good winter layers and
the White variety is the leader in
this respect. For that reason it is
especially valuable as an egg-producer
for winter eggs bring twice as much
in the market as do summer eggs.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-01-16

In an effort to produce a breed of
fowls which would combine great egg
laying qualities with good table quail
ties-a so-called general purpose fowl
the resourceful American breeders
have produced three great breeds
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
r. I. Reds.
OF the several varieties of Wyan-
dottes. the White is the most popular,
not only among fanciers who pay
enormous prices for extra fine speci-
mems, but also on utility poultry
farms. Its great usefulness both as a
layer and for table poultry makes it
popular with the commercial breeder
and there are many strains of this
remarkable hen where the majority of
the females lay 200 eggs or over per
year. AS table poultry it is preferred
from broiler size to roasters, being
salable at all ages in between. The
build of the fowl makes this possible.

the poultry house. Such an arrange
ment not only allows of the entire
window being opened at once, but they
are much less apt to get out of order,
and are much more quickly and easily
operated than the sliding weighted
windows.
Provide on the wall of the poultry
house. just inside by the door, one or
two large hooks, in the form of har-
ness hooks. where can be kept large
heavy basket for cleaning the drop
ping boards. The hoe or rake
used for cleaning the perches can also
be kept hanging on this hook. A sweet
potato hoe which has a long thin
blade enables the doing of this work
much quicker than a common ordi-
nary garden hoe. A pitchfork for
loosening up the litter, broom for
sweeping off the muslin curtains and
for removing any dust or filth around
the drinking fountains and hoppers
completes the necessary appliances. A
spike driven into the wall about a foot
or a foot and one-half from the
ground upon which mangel beets can
be placed will eliminate the need of
purchasing of expensive hooks for
hanging them from the ceiling.
Lastly, provide in a handy place in
the poultry house a large smooth
board made of soft pine upon which
a record sheet can be kept. The rec
ord sheet should be so ruled that the
poultryman can keep a record of eggs
laid and feed consumed, and hence be
able to determine the profitableness of
his work.
Any appliance which saves labor
without hindering efficiency should be
part of every poultry housr equip
ment

S48 Braiding Design for Band.

4Se Braiding Design for Panel.
The plain gown IN Empire style is one
of the very latest developments and this
model is especially attractive for the rea-
son that it can be utilized for many ma
terials and finished in two different ways.
On the figure, the neck is high with stock
collar but the suggestion for the V-shaped
neck with high military collar at the
back and sides, which is shown in the
small view, is good one and will be pre-
ferred By many women. Long sleeves
are smart, but there is no fixed rule and
those of three-quarter length are quite
correct, they are finished with poirted
cuffs and these cuffs may be of the same
material or of the trimming. Just
now there is a notable fancy for
sleeves of different material. but here
again there is opportunity for choice
since matching sleeves are used in equal
numbers. In the picture the gown is
made of gabardine, the sleeves and
trimming are of velvet and braiding of
soutache, which is both handsome and
fashionable, but the model is one that
can be utilized for still handsomer gown
of velvet, of broadcloth, or of charmeuse
satin, or of any material which is heavy
enough to be made in SO simple style.
For the medium size will be needed OF
yds. of material 27, 53 yds. SO, S yds. A.

That's an error that many mer-

themselves that their store is so
we'll known that it doesn't require
newspaper advertising that the
trade will naturally drift his way,
anyhow. There isn't store any

can be increased by careful news

true, why is it that a stream of
mail orders is constantly going out
of your town to catalogue houses.
And are not these sales made by
these catalogue houses the result
of persistent advertising in the
very field you feel that YOU have
cultivated to the limit? Whenever
you get such an idea fixed in your
mind, and really believe that there S
nothing more to conquer. you are
simply turning over ready money
to the man that does possess the
broader vision--you are ceding ter

careful newspaper advertising,
would retain in your possession.
