GAINS
OVER 500 CONVERTS
Remarkable Success Of Revival Con-
Quoted by Evangelist
White.

Centerville, Ia, April 1.-THE
big revival at the Christian church
has reached the 500 mark, believed
to be the biggest revival in number
of professions held in Iowa during
the past year, except the Sunday
meetings in Des Moines. About four
years ago the same church had about
400 professions in revival conduct
ed by Evangelist Lockhart. Evange-
list White and his singer, Profess
sor Shaul, are the leaders in this big
awakening. Sunday will be the
closing day of the meetings, which
will have run five weeks, aud it will
not be surprising If the professions
reach 600. Last Sunday the Offer
ing was taken for the workers, and
1920 was received. The Sunday
school had Gil present. An effort
will be made to pass 1000 the COM
ing Sunday.

ARIZONA FLOOD HAS
GAINED MORE POWER
mandates Town Of Woodruff and
Causes Dam at That Place
to Burst.

Holbrook, Ariz., April 1.-THE
flood which swept away the reser-
voir dams at Lyman and Hunt and
submerged parts of st. Johns yester-
day, had inundated today the town
of Woodruff, IL miles southeast Of
here. Water, diverted from the ov-
erflowed Little Colorado river, sub
merged the streets to a depth Of
three feet before the Woodruff dam
burst and relieved the pressure.
Meantime all the people OF the
town had reached high ground and
there were no fatalities to add to the
list of eight. lives lost by the break
ing of the Lyman dam Wednesday
midnight.
The Little Colorado was out Of its
banks at this point early yesterday
and rising steadily. Every precau-
tion had been taken, however, and
no material damage was expected.

Baby Chicks Need
Drinking Water
Jars Inverted Over Saucers Make a
Handy and inexpensive
Fountain,

Chicks are "hard drinkers" and
should always have access to foun-
tains Of pure water.
Pay close attention to the little foun.
tains from which the chicks get their
water. They should be thoroughly
cleaned every day, as they get Shiny
and cause indigestion when neglected.
For this reason the little fountains
with saucers soldered on are not very
satisfactory. Better get stone jars OF
crooks, such as are used for butter de-
livery. Get those that hold about two
quarts and then use small granite OF
tin pie pans under them. Just file
notch in the edge Of the jar to let
the water escape. Fill the jar with
clean, fresh water, place the pan on
top upside down and hold them close
together, then quickly invert. This
can be done without spilling drop of
water. You then have nice fountain
that is easily kept clean. The crooks
are heavy enough to stay on the pans
when empty, and they are thick enough
to keep the water fresh and cool for a
long time. If the pans get clogged
with trash, dig it out with stock and
then lift the edge of the pan enough to
let the water flush the pan. This
should be done twice during the day,
then with the morning filling the
chicks will have good water all day
long. There isn't enough water in the
small fountains to do this and you al
ways have to be filling or the chicks
go thirsty. Chicks should never be
allowed to get so thirsty that they will
gorge themselves on water. It should
be there for them to drink as often as
they wish.
Don't put drugs into the water for
the young chicks. If you have some
chicks to doctor, give small bread
ball containing the medicine, or pour
the dose down the chick. 1ndiscrimi-
nate mixing of medicine in the drink
ing water is not in conformity with
good practice. Milk, though fine for
chicks, does not take the place of
water by any means. Some people try
to bring up chicks with no other drink
than milk. This is mistake. Give
the milk in separate dish every time
and observe the strictest cleanliness.
Take little pains at first to get the
chicks acquainted with their drinking
fountain. If you initiate several all
others will soon learn. Little chicks,
like children, are prone to try anything
they see others their kind do. If
they do not get water often they get
too thirsty and drink till bowel trouble
results. The first thing an overheated
chick wants to do is to drink, and it
nearly always drinks enough to make
itself sick. aa We.
