DISCUSSION CONTEST
TO Be HELD HERE
Sixteen High Schools in New State
Debating League Formed by
Manchester College.

Bemidji has been chosen as one Of
the three places in the state to hold
an elimination contest which will
decide on the delegates of this dis
trict to a statewide discussion con
test given by and held at Manchester
college, st. Paul. The two other
elimination cities are Willmar and
Mankato, and at these places the
student who wins first or second hon
ors will be selected as delegate to
the finals at St. Paul. ~s-1.
Medals to Be Given.
Prizes will be offered both for the
school which sends the winning rep
resentative and for the winner him
self. A silver loving cup will be
awarded annually to the school that
wins, thus making it an annual at
fair. Medals will be awarded to
every student who takes part in the
finals.
G1&nC mIuuUeS TO LAX.
Professor Glen Clark of Manchester,
in organizing the contest, decided
that in order to make it as easy for
the contestants as possible, instead
of having a debating contest which
would make it necessary for the
teams to change sides for the finals,
discussion contest would be more
satisfactory. Each speaker will be
given eight minutes for a construc-
tive speech and three minutes for re-
buttal. The subject of this years
contest is, "Shall the United States
materially increase her naval and
military armament?" The speakers
can take any phase Of the question
they care to.
Contest in January.
The Bemidji contest is already in
the process of organization, although
it will not be held until some time
in January. Pamphlets and articles
are being massed to provide good ma
terial for the local representative. 1t
is undecided whether the contest here
will be senior-junior affair or
whether the whole school will be per-
mitted to choose a speaker, one from
each class.

and seemed very anxious to do this
without any experience because, as
he said, he had $4,000 and could al
ford to lose some of it and still sue
ceed. Persistent argument changed
this mans determination and he de-
efded to take the poultry course and
to become acquainted with practical
poultry problems. Now he is we'll To-
Gated on a thirty-acre farm and two
years of experience has put him well
nthe road to success. l might quote
many such examples, from the eX-
perfenceS of our own students, which
would show the soundncss of this ar
gument.
To summarize: | would not dis
courage the city man from going into
the poultry business, but / would earn
estly caution him against going into
the business unless he has had thor
ough experience, either at a short
course or on a practical farm or, bet
ter yet, both. This experience alone
will not insure success unless he has
capital enough to finance the enter
prise. My advice to the city man with
a good position would be. to get the
fever. start along the lines above men
toned, save up all the cash possible
from the city job. and at the same
time keep a few birds for the sake
of experience and to find out whether
he is the possessor of a natural liking
for such work.
Above all things know what il
means TO care for chickens; not keep
chickens, for they should keep you.

ISOLATION in the community. If there
are none get busy and form one. Such
cooperative action on the part OF en-
thusiastiv amateurs results in the Sc
curing of wonderful educational fa-
cilities.
Eighth, just before taking the final
plunge he should spend a winter taxi
ing the short course in Poultry Hus-
bandry at one OF our State Agricul-
tural Colleges. These courses are de-
signed to give city men just enough of
the theoretical side to make practical
operations clear. If possible, a year
spent on a commercial poultry farm
has material advantage.
The above scheme can be recon-
mended for it's soundness and ease of
attainment.
Examples of Successes
There comes to my mind number
of examples of men now very success
full poultrymen who secured their in
itial start in Just this way. One, q
young man who was an electrical en-
gineer and who had been working for
number of years with no definite
chance for advancement, began to
study poultry as above outlined. He
had a capital of four thousand dollars
and by borrowing two thousand on
mortgage is now the proud owner and
operator of one of the most success
full poultry farms in the East
Another man twenty-siX years of
ago. who for some years had been
the advertising business and had ac-
cumulated q capital of nearly $4,000,
wished to make the change. He
wished to go into the poultry business
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-03-20

to expect to go into the poultry bust
ness as it would be for me to go into
the tailoring business. The probabil-
ity of success would be equal in either
case. The point was well taken, and
the Young man decided to follow my
suggestions and get some cXpei ience
before making the start. My advice to
him was that he should understand
thoroughly what was before him be-
fore he decided to give up a good
position and a pay envelope at the
end of each month.
How TO Get Start
There are many ways I'm which a
city man can gain poultry experience.
/ would suggest the progressive steps
as follows: First, move to a subur-
ban community and keep from eight
to ten hens in the back yard. BY
studying these closely much can be
learned. And what is even greater
than this, the man can learn whether
he is going to like the work or not
Second, he should subscribe to a
number of reliable poultry papers and
read them intelligently and carefully
He should not only read the news
items, but should study the advertise
ments and editorials carefully.
Third, he should secure a number
of reliable poultry books, of which
there are a number of excellent ones
on the market, and should read them
carefully-with the idea of applying
the knowledge gained to the manage
ment of the few hens in his yard.
Fourth, he should get in touch with
his State Experiment Station and re-
quest their bulletins and circulars. He
should not hesitate to ask them ques-
tions by correspondence, nor should
he fail TO visit the college plant and
become acquainted with the expert
ments under way and the men in
charge. This work is at least in part
supported by his taxes.
Fifth, he should get in touch
through correspondence with the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture al
Washington and request their pub
lished pertaining to poultry keeping
Sixth, he should visit successful
poultry farms in his community. This
is a good occupation for Saturday aft
ernoons when work in the city is not
pressing. He should come to know
these men personally and become ac-
quainted with their problems.
Seventh, wherever possible get in
touch with an educational poultry as

| she said she would be home immedi-
ately and it would be more satisfactory
! to see her in person."
Warren thanked her and hung up
the receiver with a snap and went into
the dining room. Nora began to wait
on him silently, and II was n quarter
of seven before the bell rang and Nora
fastened to open the door.
Helen hurried in. looking very
flushed and sweet.
What did you want, dear?" she
said, hurrying into the dining room
and bending to drop a kiss on the top
of his head
Warren was very busy buttering a
piece of bread and Helen dropped into
chair opposite without knowing that
he was in temper. Then he looked
up and she started.
Dear, You knew Friday was my
bridge day. and as this was the first
meeting we had a lot of things to talk
over and arrange after we had stopped
playing
Yes. see you did" Nora came in
at this moment.
will you have something to eat,
Mrs. Curtis?" she asked as she passed
Helens chair
Yes, Nora: you might bring me a
cup of coffee"
Nora left the room and Warren went
on eating sullenly.
II wanted to go out to dinner to-
night and L got home early on pur-
pose. l didn't expect that Your bridge
club extended to far into the evening" a"
For the first time Warren raised his
head and looked across at Helen.
She was wearing a little hat made
of flowers. and 1t was most becoming
to her.
When did you get the hat?" he
inquired.
Il made it," she confessed proudly.
And do You know, dear, not a soul
suspected. Even Louise raved over
It,"
Il have seats for that play you
wanted to see he said testify
I'm so glad, Warren. You're a
dear"
Warren finished his pie and drank
his coffee. The room was filed with
lily of the valley perfume that Helen
was very fond of and somehow he felt
somewhat Modified. He had never
seen a hat more becoming to Helen
than the one she was wearing, and
then with a stab of remembran he
thought of the bridge club and the
fact that he would probably have to
cat alone every Friday night. He was
about TO resume his injured attitude
when Helen called to him from the
buffers pantry.
Warren. do come out and watch
pussy. It's too dear for anything"
Warren pushed his chair away from
the table and went out into the
kitchen. He had determined not to
act, agreeably, but the sight OF pussy
playing with a ball of worsted made
him smile.
'Wouldn't Winifred he delighted if
she saw this?" said Helen. turning a
smiling face to him as he stood beside
her.
Not very much doubt of it," he said
1oNiallN. Come on now. we don't
want to be late for the show"

BUFF WYANDOTTES
COPYRIGHT, 1915.
BY Louis Paul Graham

The coming Of the Buff Wyandotte
was hailed with delight 1t was intro
duced at the time the American breed
ers were enthusiastic for buff colored
fowls of all breeds and it's popularity
quickly spread throughout the coun-
try. The Wyandotte is one of the
most, If not the most, popular of all
American breeds. Their fine plump
formation. quick growth and maturity,
good egg-laying qualities and general
docility and adaptability to either con-
finement or free range are a few of
the reasons for this popularity.
The Buff variety possesses all the
good utility traits of its white and col
ored cousins and has the plumage of
rich golden buff which is so much ad-
mired by many fanciers.
It is very much bred to-day and
gives splendid results on utility poul-
try farms and furnishes fine breed
ing to many fanciers with a corre-
spending satisfaction when any one OF
them produces an extra high class
specimen in shape and color.

What time did Mrs. Curtis go out?'
growled Warren after he had hung up
his coat. Nora had fingered near the
dining room door to answer any ques-
tions that he might have to ask.
She went to her bridge club, Mr..
Curtis. and she told me to tell you that
she would get home as soon as pos
sible.'
Warren growled out something
about it being just his luck and Nora
went back to the kitchen, while he
settled himself in the living room with
the evening paper. AS luck would
have il, Warren had come home early
on purpose. He had some theater
tickets in his pocket and had thought
they might go out to dinner. Helen
was always ready to go. but to come
home like this and find her at her
club. Well, he might have remem-
bered that this was Friday afternoon.
He finished the paper and threw 1t
down. The little French clock on the
mantelpiece chimed o'clock and he.
in rage. walked to the telephone and
was about to give number when he
realized that he had no idea where the
club had met.
Mora" he called. and as Nora ap-
peared in the doorway he turned and
Where did Mrs. Curtis go to-day,
do YOU know"
"Yes, Mr.. Curtis" said Nora calmly,
She went to Mrs. Dalton's.'
Warren considered before calling up
Mrs. Dalton's number. He had never
liked the woman, probably because he
had an idea that she knew entirely too
much. She was president Of the Cur
rent Events Club and was rather a
brainy woman. Helen had always
manifested a great admiration for her,
but Warren had pronounced her con-
ceited. Furthermore, he had never
liked her husband, and as he was not
inclined to be generous Mrs. Dalton
had never gone up in his estimation
for this reason.
However, that was no adequate rea-
son for hesitating about calling Helen
up. He pulled his watch oub and eX-
claimed at the time. Ten minutes
wasted. Nora was moving around in
the dining room arranging things for
dinner and she stopped to see if Mr..
Curtis was telephoning.
Mrs. Curtis said that she would not
want any dinner, sir" she ventured
timidly. so If you want yours every
thing is ready"
Warren did not answer. but took up
the receiver impatiently.
Hello. give me Schuyler 24670," he
said, not waiting of anything more
And then, as central connected him.
Hello, is this Mrs. Dalton's? [ want
TO speak to Mrs Curtis, please"
He waited for a moment, and then
someone took up the receiver and
spoke sweetly.
Mrs. Dalton Comes to the Telephone
What is it you wish. please?" 1t
was Mrs. Dalton, and Warren asked
again if he might speak to Mrs. Cur
tis. There was a babel of voices going
on in the same room and Mrs. Dalton
said sweetlv:
"Oh. Mrs. Curtis? My maid could
not understand you. there is such a
racket. Is this Mr.. Curtis? How do
YOU do? Just a minute and I will see
If Mrs. Curtis has gone. ] think she

Buff Wyandottes originated from
light colored Rhode Island Reds in
some instances; in others from Golden
Wyandottes run out in color. Some
Buff Cochin was used to perfect the
color and some White Wyandotte to
perfect the shape. The result is that
the Buff Wyandottes shown to-day are
almost perfection in shape and color.
The hens have always been consist
ent layers and steady filters of the egg
basket. Many individuals and flocks
have made egg records that are to be
envied by other breeds. The chicks
are strong and vigorous, make rapid
growth, and are easily salable from
broiler size to maturity. Like all
Wyandottes the Bluffs are full breasted
and meaty with rather fine bone and
very little offal. This makes them de-
servedly popular with the market
poultrymen and small breeder alike.
AS a fancier's fowl they furnish a few
fine problems in breeding to produce
fine specimens that not only have typ
ical Wyandotte shape but the real
golden buff color throughout.
