wanted to hear Carroll, especially
since l. read the story Of his convcr-

the little negro lad drove him and
another minister to church one night
where protractcd services were going
on. Before going into the church
Mr.. Lama turned to the negro and
said, Come into the church tonight
and hear me preach possibly you will
hear something that will help YOU"
The boy did SO. believe the text that

converted and is now one of the lead
ers Of his race. However. Carroll did
not preach that night but more typi-
cal negro preacher did, the Rev Hill
of Columbia. Frankly the majority of
negroes appreciate more highly
preachers like Hill in preference to
Carroll--thc latter is perhaps two

Poultry Lice Do Great
Damage.

The offspring from a single
pair of lice, according to H. L.
Kempster Of the Missouri Aeri.
cultural Experiment Station, will
in six weeks be approximately
125,OO0. This fact emphasizes
the Importance of keeping the
poultry free from them.
Lice live upon the bodies OF
the poultry. They deposit their
eggs in the. p]umage, generally
near the vent and live upon the
scurf, dead skin and feathers.
To get rid Of them remedies must
be applied to the bird. Spraying
the roosts with lice killing reme-
dies are Of little value. One OF
the best and most common meth
DDS Of getting rid Of lice is to APP
ply insect powder, which should
be we'll busted into the feathers.
A second application ten days
after the fret will catch the SEQ.
ond brood of lice and make a
thorough job of 1t. Otherwise if
these live the first application is
Of little value.
A good, cheap and effective
louise powder is made by adding
q mixture ct one part Of crude
carbolic acid and three parts Of
gasoline TO plaster OF paris, all
that the powder will blot up.
When the plaster is dry pulver.
ize 1t and store in tight cans.
Another effective remedy is to
rub piece of blue ointment, the
size OF q pea, well into the skin
Just beneath the vent.
