riety of domcsticated fowl. and even
some species of wild birds. IL Is

and houses where the birds are not
in thrifty condition. The general ma
ture of the disease and its method
of sprcading over district resemble

tering n flock whore the disease IL
prevalent In the district. great care
must be exercised to avoid carrying
the germ by means OF droppings,
Garth attached to clothes, eggs, birds,
wind. water or feed.
Symptoms.
Tho svmptoms vary considerably In
affected birds The first indication
nj cholera is usually diarrhea with
a yellowish coloratioD OF the urates
which normally appear white in the
droppings. The coloration may hnal'
" turn TO a greenish or blush green
color as the case advances. Some
times affected birds maintain a good
annette till death, but usually they
quit eating and fever Is always pres
emit. The comb and wattles lose their
bright appearance and the birds as
sumo a dropping, rounded outline
caused by the lowering of the tail
head and wings. The period OF incu
bation varies from one day to severa
weeks. averaging about eight days
Death may occur at any time, beint

beneficial.
Prevention.

a remarkable growth and its prosperity is attributed by it's members to the snlen- did work of it's pastor, the Rev, <. L. Pruett. M1. Pruett became pastor of this church three years ago, when it was
 merely a mission under the protection of another church. The membership has been built up under his pastorship until IL now has 300 members and the building IS entirely too small for the present con- gregation. More room is also needed for the sunday school and for the various young peoples societies and other organ izations connected with the church.
 While the plans of the new church have not been drawn, Mir. Pruett stated today that Il will be modern in every detail and Just as soon as the plans are completed the contract will be gwen and the work rushed. The plans will include a large auditorium. Adequate rooms will also be supplied for the Sunday school classes and societies. A house already occupies one of the lots purchased and this will be repaired and painted and put in shape for occupancy by the pastor.
 The board of stewards is composed of the following members of the church: Dave Waldrop, chairman: E. NJ. Crouch, J. T. Stanfield, ". G. Baker, L. G. Geier. J. L. Skipper, G. E. Mayne, ]. L.. Trip lett, ]. F. Brown and M. A. Crews. The following comprise the board of trus- tees: ]. T. Hughes. W. M Chastain J. A Norton, E. M. Crouch. Dave Waldrop. M. A. Crews and C. c.

 "That's nne." said the genial ieweler. its about time business picked up.''
 E. ]. Baldauf and Miss Viola Raumgar- ten, both of Cullman, were then intro- dueed and Mir. Baldauf pulled out a mar riage license and asked of Mir. Jaffe> if there was any objection to the marriages being performed in the store. There were no objections-in fact, the clerks were eager.
 The Rev. Thomas 0. Jones. the pastor responsible for the first wedding at the Jaffe store, again officlated.
 Again Mir. Jaffe returned to his office to ruminate on the unusual weddings, when another couple entered the store. This couple. however, only purchased wedding ring and hastily departed.

ENTHUSIASTIC FOR SCHOOL

Thursday evening the editor of the
News attended an oratorical contest
held by the Ardmore High School.
That city has always had fine repu-
tation abroad for its splendid schools,
and this visit impressed on us one
reason for this. The people are fully
alive to the value of good educational
facilities, and showed their interest by
turning out by hundreds to attend this
contest, even though an admission fee
was charged to cover necessary ex-
penses. The auditorium was filled by
the boosters and the close attention
they gave to every detail of the pro-
gram showed how thoroughly they are
imbued with the school spirit They
are justly proud of their schools and
as a result the city stands pre-emi
nent among Oklahoma cities in the
matter of educational facilities.-Ada
