The Pennsylvania State Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued a
call to the farmers and poultry rails
ers of the State to observe Rooster
Week" between May 20 and June 8,
and either kill a rooster a. day. or
pen up the cockerels.
A statement put out by the de-
partment says that the suggestion
to reduce the number of ROSTERS is
made by W. Theo. Whitman, the
poultry expert of the department,
"for the betterment of the poultry
industry of the State and the pro-
duction, of more non fertile eggs. 1t
is declared that fertile eggs are the
cause of heavy loss to the poultry
men annually, the department say
ing that the fertile eggs spoil easily
in summer months and that they do
not command as good prices as
others.
There are probably 100000 to
500, 900 roosters running on farms
in Pennsylvania right now, and with
what are in the villages, towns and
cities the total may reach 100000
ROSTERS" says the department state
ment. 'Three-fourths of these male
chickens we can easily and profit
ably do without and it is the earnest
desire of those Interested in the
poultry industry of this State to
have all poultry raisers either kill
off or pen up their ROSTERS not later
than the last week in May

GROWTH OF ADVERTISING.

Time was, and within the memories
Of many OF us, when but d few peo-I
pie read advertisements - and those
with misgivings
Advertising had not yet found itsI
proper place in the economy of life
Much of it was neither informing nor
dependable.
As with other phases of life. time
brought changes, Little by little the
tone of advertising improved, and it
came to be Of use and service to the
people. 1t developed, gradually, into
"A. medium Of information for the PEG
pie about commodities and products.
As advertising took on this charac-
ter, and was more and more aimed to
interest and inform, it gained readers.
Housewives learned that through read
ing the advertisements Of the stores
they could really learn things about
commodities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of shop
ping Thus the circle of people in
l.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to eff
| fcieney Of method. Buying for the
home almost the last of the rat bust,
Incsses of the world to come under the
sway of ''business methods, " at last
felt the impulse toward efficiency. The
housewife learned that she, too, was
I'm business, - and that she owed il
TO herself and to those for whom she
acted as buyer to see to it that her
task was performed with efficiency
and economy and wise Judgment. Thus
the circle of people influenced by ad
vertisiug widened and expanded.
And the extension of the circle goes
on. If a merchant holds the attention
and interest of the people in this town
who read and are influenced in thei
buying by the advertisements he neec
not worry about other people.
Yet, more than ever before, the ad
vertising of today must be informing
People are fact-hunters. They wan
facts about the goods you sell-fact
about the merits and qualities Of thos
goods, and their costs. If you hav
cut the price Of a commodity, the.
want to know why. 1t is their RICH
to know.
Earn and hold the interest and conf
dence of the people who read the ads
and your store 5 prosperity is assured

Stretching a Point.

(Randolph Herald and News)
1t is understood that Superintend-
ent Smith of the Anti-Saloon league,
after bringing to the attention of the
license commissioners of Burlington
the disqualification of Senator Powell
under the statute, which resulted in
the licenses being revoked, with con
siderable doubt arising as to the sen
ator's ability to reclaim the $500
paid the state, also complained to the
state 5 attorney Of Chittenden coun
ty and sought to have Mr.. Powell
prosecuted for selling Illegally while
he held the licenses. This would be
stretching a point, inasmuch as Mr.
Powell had been granted the licenses
in due form and had paid his fees
without question or objection. 1t rails
es the suspicion heretofore expressed
that Mr.. Smith has not forgotten
where Mr.. Powell stood when the
Perry act was an issue.

Baseball as it is played in rural
communities may not present all the
fine points that feed the appetite of
the follower of the professional game,
but as a spring and summer tonic it
is fully as effective. One who has for
years followed the box scores of the
games played in the small towns here
abouts cannot fail to be impressed by
the lasting qualities of some of the
players. Year after year they have
been holding down their positions -
some Of them for so long that they
have sons on the same team-and vet
they show no signs, in print at least,
.of being supplanted. Their ability APP
pears to be as perennial as their in
terest, and the one doubtless explains
the other. Long live baseball, of the
kind where the home team is made UP
Of home players. It is no in considera-
BILE factor in keeping the Of Ter gener~
alton young and the young 9r genera

SEWING MACHINES

The natives of Bombay capture tame
and domesticate wild sewing machines
for the American market A trained
sewing machine is used to decoy its
brothers and sisters into trap. When
a wild sewing machine discovers it
self in trap its struggles are terrif-
lie, until it becomes reconciled to its
fate.
Nearly every home has a sewing
machine, but few housewives know
how to take care of these sensitive
and sometimes ferocious denizens Of
the forest We will give a few sug-
gestions.
A sewing machine should never be
kept in the same room with a member
Of the family. A special room should
be provided, or better still, a garage
or kennel, about 80 yards from the
house.
A sewing machine is very untidy
about its person; that is why they are
undesirable in the house. They chew
up rags, and can litter up room in

Advice is a free gift which can be
taken or left, and is usually left The
amount of free advice distributed in
this country every day would reach
from the Brooklyn Bridge to Pike :
Peak, if laid end on end, and more
samples are left at people 5 doorsteps
in a week than the combined output
of all the liver pill and plug tobacco
factories in the land.
Despite the fact that advice does
not cost anything, it is given about as
warm welcome as a small but wiry
meat bin which has been paid four
times by actual count. Scattered all
through the closets, attics and spare
rooms in thousands of humble homes
may be found neglected, moth-eaten
packages of advice which were given
along with the wedding presents and
were then tied up and laid away along
with five or six extra sets of silver
nutpicks. Once in while some re-
pentant wife, who has maligned her
husband for refusing to partake of a
delicacv brought home from the last
church supper, viii remember some
advice that her mother gave her when
they were framing up the bridal
wreath and apologize with fresh cream

SUPPER PICNIC FOR LIZARDS.

you know are very fond of the Liz
ards, so today, as it was raining lit
tie bit the Fairies gave a supper Pic
mic for the Lizards
THE Lizards love a day when it
is just Raining little bit. That is
what they consider a really beauti-
full day. And the Fairies had told
them that the first day when it was
Raining a little they would give their
Supper Picnic.
AT three o'clock this afternoon all
the Lizards went to the wood grove.
The lizards love a day when it
rains in Fairyland where the Fairies
had planned to have their Party. When
the Red Lizards got there ahead OF
the others they saw all the Fairies
dressed in wonderful costumes of Red
''Of course, the Lizards were very
much pleased that the Fairies had
paid them such a compliment as to
dress up in the color they always
wore.
And when the Gray Lizards came
crawling along, the Fairies al
changed their costumes to Gray. And
all through the afternoon first they
would be Red and then they would be
Gray. And their wands all matched
whatever color their dresses were.

appeal to local graduates to attend the

who find little pleasure in the recollec-

point to attend the reunion for the
sake of the classmates of past years
who come from out of town. To the

by a great column of steam and
