Calhoun Family of New York
Brought Into Notoriety.

Friends in Anderson OF Col. John
G. Calhoun, of New York City, will
be interested, says the Anderson In
telligencer, in the report that his
daughter-in- law, Mrs. Mabel Sny-
der Calhoun, has brought suit
against MIN for 100000 for the
alienation of her husbands affec-
tions and also suit against her young
husband for separation, alimony
and a whole lot of other things. The
Atlanta Georgian of yesterday car
ried the following account of the
affair, together with large photo
of the young Mrs. Calhoun, a dash
ing looking young woman:
"The John G. Calhoun family, as
well known in Atlanta as it is in
South Carolina and in the neighbor.
hood of Broad and Wall streets,
New York, has come another mat
rimonial cropper.
"This time it is James c., who is
in the divorce court. His wife is
blue-eyed and golden-haired, and
has the other qualifications which
go to make stunning show girl,
the which she was in Zeig6eld's Fol-
lies. Her name was Mabel, yes,
Mabel Snyder.
''Mrs. Mabel Snyder Calhoun is
suing her husband for separation
and incidentally 5000 a week ali
mony; to say nothing of several
thousand dollars attorneys fee. She
is also suing her father-in law, John
Caldwell Calhoun, for 100000 for
alienation of her husbands .affec-
tions.
II was a stage girl and that was
too much for John G. Calhoun, my
father-in-law," says Mabel. He
couldn't bear to have it said his son
married an actress. That's the sum
and substance of it. My, are ac-
tresses so dreadful? Really, he'd
never recognize me as a member of
the family.
Young Calhoun's father is a
wealthy fnancier who has sccumu-
lated fortune in railroad promo
tion in the south, a grandson of
John Caldwell Calhoun, once vice
president of the United States, and
a brother. Of Patrick Calhoun, once
a noted figure in Atlanta, and later
in San Francisco. BE married Lin
ME Adams, ,.grsndniece of Richard
M. Johnson, also a former vice
president of the United States. He
served through the Civil War and
afterward become planter and l.
nancier. He was special ambassa-
dor to France in 1897 and has acted
as president and director of many
southern railroads.
"Atlantans still remember the
marriage of another of the young
er Calhounssshere. John c. Calhoun,
Jr., swedded the beautiful Mamie
Martin at midnight at the Georgia
Terrace hotel in November, 1913.
A year later he started action
against her, alleging that she had
neglected to get a divorce from one
Benjamin Everett Irwin of Louis
ville."

Compromise Made.

Corunna, Sept. 1.-The litigation
over the Family theatre in Owosso,
has been settled. A stipulation was
filed in circuit court Tuesday after

the parties to the litigation agreeing
to fulfill the contract entered into
when Maurer & Monroe sold the the
atre to Black & Rickle last December.
There is still $3.50 due Maurer &
Monroe and half of this, with inter-
est will be paid at once. The bal
ance will be paid in the near future.
The mortgage, under which Maurer &
Monroe seized the theatre on August
Is, has been discharged and the in
junction restraining them from SELL
ing the property, will be dissolved at
once. In case Black & Rickle wish to
sell the theatre, Maurer & Monroe

Thrift Proclamation by Governor.
To the clergymen and Sunday school
teachers of Michigan:

To the clergymen and Sunday schoo
teachers of Michigan:
The American Society for Thrift a
meeting held recently at San Fran
cisco, passed a resolution requesting
that the Sunday preceding Labor Day
September fifth, be called Thrift Sun
day, and that clergymen and Sunday
school teachers on that day discuss
the subject of thrift. Fifty years age
there was a practice among the best
New England families of encourag'
ing their children to cultivate habits
of thrift. Today many American
fathers and mothers give to their
children money in haphazard way.
The most prosperous and thrifty
Americans of today learned the value
of dollar by earning it when they
were boys. Many parents do not
realize the Importance of giving their
children the splendid opportunities
they themselves enjoyed when they
were boys and girls. The lack of
thrift among American youth is an
alarming symptom. Thrift does not
mean stinginess, nor does it mean un-
due regard for the dollar. Habits OF
thrift in youth would largely do away
with the demand for old-age pensions
Thrift is really a practical form of
patriotism. Owing to this lack OF
thrift there is an inclination to con-
stantly insist that our government
shall become more and more paternal
in its character. This nation, in or
der to maintain its high position In
civilization, needs to train American
youth to habits Of thrift. With thrift
other desirable habits are invariably
associated.
|, therefore, Woodbridge n. Ferris,
governor of the state of Michigan,
suggest that Sunday, September fifth
be set apart as Thrift Sunday, and
that clergymen, Sunday school teach
ers and all engaged in church work,
make a special effort to inspire youth
with an appreciation of the tremen-
dous value Of habits Of thrift.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the state, this first day
Of September. in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and fif-
teen, and of the commonwealth the
seventy-ninth.

A COMMON ERROR
IN FEEDING POULTRY

One Of the greatest errors made by
American farmers is the overuse of
feed OF carbohydrate value, writes J..
*. Morrison in the Country Gentle
man. In order that the hen may eco
nomically use feed she must be given
the proper amount of protein for the
upkeep of her body. with a surplus
for the making of eggs. AS rule,
corn is the prevailing ration for fowls
on the farm.
Carbohydrates may be bought more
cheaply in corn than in any other
cereal. Protein may be purchased
more cheaply in cottonseed meal than
in any other feed product.
L. G. Hare of the South Carolina
station in Il pamphlet on winter egg
production in that state recommends
this ration:
Cottonseed meal, 100 pounds; corn
meal, fifty pounds; ground oats. fifty
pounds; wheat bran, fifty pounds:
shorts, fifty pounds; ground lime rock.
sixteen pounds; ground charcoal.
twelve pounds; salt, two pounds.
The carbohydrate feeding value of
cottonseed meal and beef scrap is al
most the same. and unadulterated cot

ton seed meal contains within 4 per
cent as much protein as beef scrap.
Scrap costs about twice as much as
meal. Cottonseed meal contains about
three times as much protein as does
bran. and protein purchased in bran
costs about three and half times as
much as the protein that is purchased
in cottonseed meal.
In our work with cottonseed meal
In Missouri we have found that when
the chief source of protein is cotton
seed meal and there is no variety the
pens that have beef scrap eat more
of the feed and give better results
When a variety of feed is given and
some bone meal is added there is not
much difference in egg production or
I'm the amount Of mash that is consum-
ed by the hens.
In one month pen of hens at the
Missouri station ate as much OF the
cottonseed meal ration as they did Of
the beef scrap ration, with the same
nutritive value. A pint of grain was
given each day to ten hens. A pen fed
on mash containing wheat bran ate as
much mash as they did grain. A cot
tonseed meal fed pen laid rs eggs. q
beef scrap pen laid 40.
At the Mississippi station in pen
fed a mash composed of sixty-seven
pounds of cottonseed meal and twenty
three pounds Of cornmeal. five hens
laid 200 eggs in September. October.

POULTRY GOSSIP.

The raising Of poultry may be a
hobby. but it is profitable one.
Pullets may lay small eggs at
first, but as they grow older
their eggs will reach the normal
size.
There is a whole lot Of pleasure
In raising chickens, an interest
ing, fascinating study, and the
longer you stick to 1t the more
fascinating it becomes.
For the average farmer the
bronze turkey is perhaps the best
breed. possessing as it does
hardness with large size.
Early Matched pullets make the
best winter layers: next come the
year-old productions, and as
breeders when mated with ma
ture cockerels they are unsur-
passed.

The Rose Comb White Leghorn
is preferred to the single comb va
riety in sections where severe cold
is common in winter. Its large,
thick rose comb is not so easily
affected by frost as are the single
combs. therefore the possibility of
more uniform production of eggs
in winter from the rose combs is
assured. In every other way the
rose comb is like its single comb
sister in size, shape, color and abil-
ity to produce an abundance of
eggs. The hen shown is a Rose

BEST FERN FOR LIVING ROOM
BY J. T. GRANGER.

The best fern for the living room
depends on the temperature of your
living room. If your room is heated
with hot water you can grow ferns
in it that would soon die if kept in a
room heated by steam, or hot air, or
a wood fire. For such room I would
advise Whitman's, one of the most
beautiful varieties of recent introduce
ton.
1t is a sprout from the old Boston
fern. 1t has shorter fronds than that
variety, but they are broader, and the
leaflets on them are developed into
miniature >fronds, thus making it a
most graceful plant, when well grown.
It's fronds have plumelike effect that
make a fine specimen of one of the
most ornamental of decorative plants.
Give it a soil of leaf-mold, or turfy

VALUE OF MANURE sPREADEF
Saving Of Labor Is Only One Of Many
Advantages Offered by the Use
of the Implement.

Most farmers believe that the great
est value to be derived from a ma
nure spreader is in the saving of labor
AS a matter of fact, this is only one
of the advantages offered by the use
of such an implement.
Another advantage which is even
more important in many ways. is the
fact that manure scattered evenly and
rather thinly over wide area will
give very much more return per ton
than where scattered irregularly and
on the thinner places, as is usually
done when distributed from wagon.
This increased return is due to the
fact that there is less loss in fermenta-
ton when put on thinly, and also to
the fact that considerable share of
the value of manure comes from the
addition of beneficial bacteria to the
soil, so that when this takes place
over wide area it is much more bene-
fetal than when limited to a small
area.
