can be said of few plays but it can
be said truthfully of Human
Hearts" A drama which provides
beautiful recreation for the public

So young and old alike find much
in this beautiful living story to
think over and enjoy long after
wards. Rich in incident in it's
variety of characters, in it's stage
settings, it is one of few attrac-
tions of great merit on the road.
The spectator is carried into the
delightful atmosphere of life in
the Hills of Arkansas. The trouble
which falls upon the simple folk
of the Logan Farm, reminds one of
the line-"The Trail of the Ser
pent," WAIT-The author has
struck notes, many true notes in
this play and the well-chosen cast
blend their harmonies with fine eff
feet Adv.

the gaze Of the multitude. No one,

Bonded herself to abide by the fol-
lowing stipulations:
Miss Bara will not marry within

Miss Bara is not to appear in
public unless heavily yelled.

PENN STATE DE-
FEATS "DELAWARE"
in CLOSE GAME

In the hardest fought and most
exciting game of the season, Della
ware lost to the fast Penn State
five last Thursday night by the
score of 1851. The game was fast
throughout, and neither five had a
commanding lead at any time, only
few points separating the teams
at all stages.
Delaware secured the lead after
two minutes of play when Pierson
dropped in foul. This point was
followed by four more by the home
boys before the State" team scor-
ed. The lead changed hands sew
eral times during hte remainder of
this period, the Pennsylvanians
running up lead of five points on
the Delaware boys just before the
end of the initial half. The score
at this time stood 20-15.
With the start Of the final p period,
both teams began to display the
same aggressiveness which char
acterized the entire first half.
Delaware started to play a defen-
sive game at this point and their
change in style of play completely
checked the Estate" scoring mach
inc. Both teams scored 16 points
in this half and it was the five
point lead secured in the first per-
iod by the visitors that finally re-
suited in their victory.
In view of the fact that Penn
State has won all of its games this
year, with one exception, having
defeated some Of the fastest teams
in the east, the Delaware boys de-
serve much credit for the plucky
game which they played. estate"
has defeated Pittsburgh, Lafay-
cite, Syracuse, Carnegie Tech, Lee
banon Valley, Juniata and Dart
mouth this year, most of these
victories having been decisive, the
last mentioned team being touched
to the tune of 44-22. By most
critics State" has been picked as
intercollegiate champions.
For estate" Captain "Ike" Wal
ton and Laubach played the best
game. 1t was largely due to the
defensive play of the former, who
repeatedly broke up Delaware's
play, and to the accurate shooting
of the former that gave estate" the
victory.

ADVICE FROM THE
POULTRY EXPERT
The Value Of Early Matching

Contrary to general belief and
practice, chicks do not grow or
thrive as we'll during the warm
months or hot summer days as
they do earlier in the spring. Ex-
perienced poultrymen realize this
fact. The average farmer, how
ever, does not make an effort to
hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage of a longer
and more favorable growing sea-
son. Early Matching not only in
sures more rapid gains in the
growth of chicks but mas favor
able influence on the size of the
individuals of the flock. Late
Matched chicks rarely, if ever, at
tain the size of those Matched
early. Early Matching likewise in
fluences early maturity and con-
sequently early egg production.
Given the same food, care and
attention, chicks Matched the first
of March will weigh more when
they are four months old than
those Matched a month later. So
the poultry specialists of the
S. Department of Agriculture.
This likewise holds true with
chicks Matched the first of April
as compared with those Matched
May first. This is due to the fact
that the rate of growth of a chick
is greater during the first four
weeks of its life than at any other
time. Consequently, the early
Matched chick, having the advan-
tage of more favorite growing
season, makes greater gains dur
ing the first four weeks of it's life
than the late Matched chick. Dur
ing the early spring months when
the temperature is not so varied
the growth of chicks is more uni
form and constant than it is dur
ing the summer.
Millions of chicks die every
year as result of being infested
with lice which, under average
farm conditions, are ofttimes diff
ficult to on troll. Hen-hatched
chicks are not as subject to lice
in the early spring as they are
during the warmer months when
lice are more prevalent. If for no
other reason chicks should be
Matched early so their growth will
not be interrupted by the presence
of lice.
Many farmers realize consider
able money each spring from the
sale of broilers, the price of which
is usually governed by their size
when sold and the time marketed.
Thus it would seem that in order
to increase the amount of money
from the sale of broilers and fry
ers early Matching would be en-
ployed so as to have a marketable
sized fowl early in the spring
when prices are highest.
