IN RECOGNITION OF THE 1916
.- GRADUATES.

Since the announcement by the
pastor, Rev. B. N. Murrell, that the
service Sunday night, June rs, will
be in recognition of the members of
the 1916 graduating classes from the
high schools, colleges and university,
keen interest on the part of st. Paul
citizens has centered itself upon that
event. Already it is being talked of
in the homes of the first high school
graduates, many of whom are already
planned to be present One feature
of the service that will be entirely
unique is the Introduction of former
graduates to the audience.
Since the sacrifice on the part of
parents and children alike is so very
great, and since to graduate from the
city high schools is such marked
achievement in the lives of the young
men and women, it is believed that
this service will add new impetus to
the efforts of the struggling students.
1t is hoped, therefore, that the parents
will bring to this service their boys
and girls who are now undergrad
yates in the city schools to this serv-
ice. College men and women are
especially invited.
/ Two minute talks will be made by
representatives of former graduating
classes. The addresses of the even
ing will be made by Secretary of
State, Hon. Julius A. Schmahl, and
S. E. Hall, chairman of the Trustee
Board of the church. William T.
Francis, Esq.,, will preside.
The following are among the 1916
graduating classes: Central High
School, Virginius James Henley, Luke
Paul Vassar and George Manning;
Mechanic Arts High School, James
Lloyd Stevens; st. Thomas College
Robert Earl Weber; University OF
Minnesota, Miles A. Cannon. These
young men will be seated on the
platform. The congregation is re
quested to assemble at 7::30 and fol
thirty minutes listen to the pipe organ
recital by Mr.. Robert H. Strong.

CLEAN the hENHOUSE.

Insanltary Conditions Soon Toll on tho
Health Of Poultry.
There Is always an imperative need
Of cleanliness In the poultry houses
and yards, and this is needed more In
the winter than the summer. The
houses being open In summer, the foul
air from uncleanly conditions has a
chance to escape, but If the filth is not
removed in the winter time, when doors
and windows are closed, the odors
arising are sure to produce disease
among the flock. With sick chickens
there can be no profit and certainly no
pleasure.
The litter on the poultry house floor
should be cleaned out frequently.
There can be no set rule about it, but
as soon as there Is an appearance Of
filth and the litter is all worked up to
pieces, make thorough cleaning and
put in fresh scratching material. The
dropping boards are breeding places
for vermin unless carefully watched.
If you permit an accumulation Of ma
nure you will soon have lice, as they
multiply rapidly in the midst of filth.
The proper thing to do is to keep
cleaned out. 1t Is better to remove the
droppings every day, If possible; but,
If not, then be sure to clean out each
week. Scrape of the dropping boards
and clean out the nests and spray both
with good disinfecting solution.
The side walls and the ceiling can be
sprayed as we'll, and the place will re-
ceive disinfecting that will help to
keep things clean. When everything is
kept pure and sanitary. the chances of
disease attacking your flock are almost
entirely eliminated.

Soft SheiIed Euus,

The Missouri poultry experiment sta
ton has been making some tests with
different rations In an effort to discover
the cause Of soft shelled eggs. Ono
pen of birds was fed a ration lacking
In fats, another ration lacking In pro-
TEN and another ration lacking in
mineral meter. The last pen produced
far fewer eggs than the others, but the
eggs were hard shelled. This would
indicate that the lack Of mineral mat
ter is not the principal cause Of soft
shelled eggs, as has been supposed
