 With Mae Marsh and Robert Har- ron as co-stars and with Wilfred Lucas as the villain there is bound to be enough attraction in ''The Wild Girl of the Sierras," a five-part Fine Arts-Triangle photoplay at the Trianon theatre today to create fa- Yorable impression on the patrons of that popular playhouse. In fact, the names of the stars, Mae Marsh, Rob- ert Harron and Wilfrid Lucas, are sufficient in themselves to bring crowds to the theatre as they are a guarantee of excellent acting.

 SOME NEWS.
 It might be interesting to the op- ponents of the Sunday movies to know that it would be impossible to get up a referendum on the question, as the legal authorities have given 1t as their opinion that the initiative section of the commission bill is un- constitutional. Quite naturally, that makes very little Sunday movies are opponents to the Sunday movies are in the game merely to get their names in the newspapers.

EASY CLEANING NEST BOXES
Sulphur Smudge Is Good Way to Pre-
vent Mites-oranac or Cracker
Boxes Are Economical.

All nest boxes should be of a kind
that will permit removal from the hem
house, and easy cleaning. A sulphur
smudge is a good way Of preventing
m~ite-infested boxes. The smell of sui
phur is o 10 gone, and no trace is
left to spoil the flavor Of eggs, as is
the case with disinfectants. To use
the smudge, empty the nest box, and
brush all straws and dust out. Have
a shovel Of Goals on the ground; hold
the box against it, preparatory to
turning over it, and throw in a little
sulphur directly on the live Goals. Drop
the nest box, and leave till the sui
phur p~enetrates every crevice. Then
whitewash, and put in clean litter.
The box should fit on the ground
closely about the shovel or kettle.
A permanent nest box should be well
built; cheap nest boxes can be re-
placed with orange or cracker boxes at
less cost than it takes to clean them
properly.

Ribbon "White Elephant"

Three yards Of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby a great problem as
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something of
a white elephant, the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value Of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount Of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be established. The rib
bon is about -four inches wide, vari-
colored and Of exquisite heavy quail
ity.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was postmarked Paterson. N. J.. There
was no message Enclosed, the package
being addressed simply to 1.-THE Con-
science Fund, Washington, D. c." 1t
Is presumed that the ribbon itself was
struggled in and is now surrendered.

SELECTING BEST EGG LAYERS
Without Trap Nest Poultryman Must
Resort to External Indications
Makeup Of Hen.

While the trap nest il the most GER
tain method by which to select birds
Of high egg production, the additional
labor and expense involved prohibits
Its use under average farm conditions.
Without the trap nest, one must re-
sort to external Indications.
When selecting pullets, choose only
those from early matches with strong
constitutional development, heavy ent-
ers, early risers, late r~etirers and ac-
tive. Hens Of highest egg produc-
ton have asfeminine appearance, fine
head, alert eyes, comb. face and wat
ties fine Of texture and medium in
size. They should stand square on
their feet, legs wide apart, with the
front end of the body slightly higher
than the posterior end, long back and
tail carried rather high. The body
should present n wedge-shaped appear
ance, yielding ample room for the re-
productive and digestive organs. Late
molters make heavier winter egg pro-
ducers.

Good Flock Average in EGG Produo

Don't Poison Baby.

EORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and Ia FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP
FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who
have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregouc, luda-
mum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists
are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children 1t al, or
to anybody without labelling them poison" The definition of narcotic"
is: "A medicine uhich relieves pain and produces sleep, but .hich in poson-
~ doses produces supor, coma, conclusions and death" The taste and
smell Of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names
of Drops, " :" Cordias," Soothing syrupe,S etc. You should not permit any
medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know

Determining SEX OF GEESE
Hardly Possible to Select Male Birds
at This Season-Wait Until They
Begin to Mate.

Determining the sex of geese is O
difficult thing to do before along In
January or February when the birds
begin to think about mating and lay.
Ing Then the stronger and larger
gander will drive all the rest from the
pen and if watched they can soon be
noted. They do not drive the hens,
but will drive or fight the males. Then,
too, the male bird has a more mascu-
l~ine-looking neck and head.
1t is hardly possible to select the
male birds in a flock of geese at this
season.

Mr.. Poultryman, IL you take pride
in marketing good eggs at a good price,
consider the following; -af
Do not keep mongrel stock. They
are not high producers, and their eggs
are not uniform as to size and color.
Keep laying hens separated from set
ting hens. ffttf4R
Gather eggs carefully in warm
weather twice daily.
Insist that your buyer candle and
grade your eggs and that he pay q
premium for e.Hrsts" over seconds

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1916-08-11

son.. Fertile eggs are poor keepers.
Keep nests free from filth and pro-
vide plenty of them. 1t is the foul,
dirty, unattractive nest that compels
the hen to seek the weeds or some
other undesirable place.
Market eggs in a standard egg case.
Never haul to town over rough roads
or in an open basket or pan exposed
to the hot sun.
You will have the largest number
OF "frsts" If you market at least
twice q week.
In keeping eggs, provide a dry, cool,
well-ventilated place. Fertile eggs
must be kept below 6S degrees to abso-
lutely check termination.
Never wash eggs; it destroys their
keeping qualities.
Eggs are easily affected by bad
odors. Do not keep In n musty grain
bin, or in the vegetable cellar, OF
where they can absorb the doors OF
