was: Gan the Modern Business Man

the question in the Affirmative. Mr..
Taylor is business man Of wide ex-
perience and is an excellent author

hearers to become Christians, saying
that Christianity is one Of the bust

BECOME A GOOD LISTENER

Some people are known as brilliant
speakers. some as good listeners. Not
all of us can belong to the first class,
but all of us can TO the second. To
be a good talker is natural gift;
to be a good listener is an art which
may be acquired by anyone.
What is a good listener? In the
first place, he is courteous. He does
not do anything that may embarrass
or annoy the one who is speaking.
Then, he is attentive. Il is so easy
to let the mind wander, to sit still
and let the sound waves strike the
ear drums, but not the brain. This
state Of mind is not really listen
ing at all. A good listener is intelli-
gent. He makes an effort, il one is
necessary, to follow the speakers
train of thought, to understand what
he is getting at. He brings to bear
upon the subject all the information
which he already has concerning it.
A good listener is receptive. He is
willing to lay aside preconceived
ideas, to look at a matter from the
speakers point of view. He is will
ing to be taught.
Why should we be good listeners?
First of all, because it helps the
speaker. He is anxious TO do his
best, and nothing helps him more
than the feeling that his audience
is willing to do all il can to assist
him. Nothing, on the other hand, is
so discouraging to a speaker as to
feel that those to whom he is speak
ing do not care whether or not he
says anything worth while. And be-
ing a good listener is an advantage
to the listener as well. 1t broadens
the mind, and helps a man to really
gain something from what he hears.
Here is an art which is within
reach of every one OF us. Why not
resolve this year to help our speak
ers and ourselves by being good
listeners?

UPPER CHAPEL

The sermon by Rev. Mr.. Knight
in Upper Chapel Sunday night was
even better than the one a week
ago. The theme was "What will
you do with Jesus, who is called
the Christ" In an earnest and
eloquent manner the speaker pre-
scented the simple story of Jesus
and his love for the world. The
fact that no one can escape the
question Of the theme was empha-
sized and thoroly dwelt on. The
message was clear, concise and
forceful, with an appeal that went
straight TO the hearts Of the audi
ence. This was an especially ap-
propriate sermon for this prerevi-
val period.

DOES 1T PAYf

The above question was discussed
al the meeting of the Young Women's
Christian Association Sunday night.
The leader was Miss Margaret Dir
ney Of the Cooking Department. The
question, Does Christianity Pay?'
was thoroly answered by the leader
in a short and earnest talk. She
mentioned several different stand
points from which it pays, and con-
cluded that, however it may be con-
sidered, it is an investment that
bears large dividends. Several
people took part in the general dis
custom who showed by their speak
ing that they are greatly interested
in the coming revival. The young
women are preparing to do great
work at that time.

IMPORTANCE OF THE POULTRY
INDUSTRY IN KENTUCKY
By Prof. ]. w. Whitehouse

Most Of the farmers in Eastern
Kentucky look upon the keeping OF
poultry as a phase Of their farm OPP
erations which is Of small conse-
quence-work for the women and
children only. A few figures may
help to change this idea ond show
that the poultry business in
Kentucky is Of considerable import
ancp and can be made much more
profitable il little thought is given
to il.
From the 1910 census, we find that
there are 1855, 900 worth Of chickens
in Kentucky and that these chick
ems produced 81 COS, 900 worth OF eggs
in one year. II we include turkeys,
ducks. geese, guinea fowls and pig
cons we find that the poultry pop
ulation Of Kentucky is worth si.462,
900, which sum amounts TO about
one-half the value Of the hogs Of
the State. Some one has said that
il all the ROSTERS in Kentucky
were made into one gigantic roost-
or, he could straddle the Rocky
Mountains and his crow could be
heard on the planet Mars.
With Our poultry worth almost
four and one-half millions Of dol
lars, we might think that we are
one Of the leading States in the pro-
duction Of poultry. This idea will
soon vanish when we compare Ken
lucky with her sister State, Mis-
souri,. Referring TO The 1910 census
again we find that Missouri prOduc-
ed ii,Si6693 dozen eggs while Ken
lucky produced li,3ii, 377 dozen and
raised 3i,9i32iO chickens while
Kentucky raised only 1921, 2s7.
Missouri is larger than Kentucky
but not twice as large and she is
producing more than PA times as
many eggs.
Now, the question is, why is

MID-YEAR HOLIDAY

Academy Departments enjoyed a
mid-year holiday Wednesday. The
two departments have semester ex-

as a rest from the fatigue Of exam

feeling that the whole day should be
one Of rest and quietude. This was

results have been highly satisfac-
