CARNIVAL WELL ATTENDED

The Carnival at the High School
last Saturday night was well attend
ed and was grand success, the
gross proceeds being in the neighbor-
hood of $40. The carnival consisted
mainly of little side-shows, ranging
in admission from / to 10 cents
there also being one room where eats
were served, this being managed by
the teachers. In another part of the
building, ice cream and cake were
served. The minstrel show in the
auditorium, made about $40, this be-
ing the most taken in by any of them
The Baby Show, Two Beauties, the
American Revolution, Sousa's Band
Seven Wonders of the World, Real
Shamrock, and the Museum and the
German Submarine all made their
portion of the proceeds. The earni-
val as whole was very much enjoyed
by all.
The proceeds will go to buy sweat
ers for the basket ball players. AL
though this is not sufficient sum to
pay for them, it should be an easy
matter to make up the remainder by
subscription.

MARCH HINTS FOR
POULTRY RAISERS

The University of Missouri College
of Agriculture offers the following
suggestions for poultry raisers:
/. Hatch early.
2. Use fresh eggs.
3. Long, pointed, short, round, thin,
or too thick shelled eggs should not
be used for Matching purposes.
a. Chilled chicks are apt to have
diarrhea.
5. A good incubator insures early
matches.
6. The pullet Matched before April
10 is the one which will lay next win
ter.
7. If incubators are used, remem-
Der that it is just as important to
have a good brooder.
8. The small coal stove brooder
which will accommodate 300 chicks is
a good investment.
9. Little chicks should be kept dry.
Don't turn the hen loose too early in
the morning.
10. Yards sowed to oats furnish
hens and chicks material that can be
supplied in no other way than by
green food in some form. Later, rape
or buckwheat can be used TO advan-
tage.
H. Most people either raise twice
as many chickens as they should or
provide half enough breeding equip
ment. Plan your equipment for the
worst weather that can be expected.
II. Initiate nature in hen Matching.
Either make the nest in bottomless
box on the ground or put an over
turned sod in the bottom Of the nest.
This assists ten hen in controlling
evaporation from the eggs.
13. Kill the louise. A piece of blue
ointment the size of kernel Of wheat
rubbed into the skin just beneath the
vent will do it.

LIFE TOO BRIEF FOR
SPITE AND BITTER WORDS

Life is too brief
Between the budding and the falling
leaf,
Between the seed time and the golden
sheaf
For hate and spite.
We have no time for malice and for
greed; 40 oetsr-
Therefore, with love make beautiful
the deed;
Fast speeds the night.
Life is too swift 1888
Between the blossom and the white
SHOWS drift,
Between the silence and the lark's up
lift
For bitter words.
In kindness and in gentleness our
speech
Must carry messages Of hope and
reach
The sweetest chords.
Life is too great 43 la
Between the infants and the mans
estate,
Between the clashing Of eaIth's strife
and fate
For petty things.
Lo! We shall yet who creep With cum
bered feet,
Walk glorious over heavens golden
street,
Or soar on wings!

Helping
St. Valentine

1AVE you forgotten about St.
Valentines day? 1t is coming,
you know. OF course you can
not really have forgotten, with
all the foolish, sentimental, happy
things cluttering up the show windows,
but you may have forgotten that st.
Valentines day Is something more than
window display and that you are a
part Of it, says the Indianapolis News
It is no good saying that you are not;
that you had nothing to do With it in
the beginning and have nothing to do
with it now. If. you have forgotten
and If you haven't a valentine stuck
away in your market basket, 1t is time
you were remembering.
It is time you were remembering ev-
cry sweetheart you ever had and every
one you ever wished you had. It Is
time you were remembering every bit
of proof you ever cherished that any
body, anybody at all, loved you. There
is no sense in being ashamed Of it.
Living in a world without sweet
hearts would be a dismal thing, and
you would be dismal sort OF person
Il YOU pever had one-it you haven't
one now.
st. Valentine as We know him is
vefy likely 9 sentimentalist, but he is
a useful Sort OF person at that. BE
makes it very easy for you to tell
folks that yog love them, and that IS
thing that has to be told somehow
some time, although nobody is sup
posed to know who is telling it, =
: OF course, like all senttmentalists,
st. Valentine is likely to make many
mistakes, and that is the reason it is
70 necessary for you to do your part.
He is likely to fill one pretty girls
room with flowers and give her more
candy than Is good for her, forgetting
an about the girl across the street,
who really needs little candy. he
loves to stuff the mail boxes with val
entines for the children, forgetting
that old ladies like them too.
He may persuade the agreeable bach
elor of comfortable years to send a
valentine to the young woman who
sits across the table from him at the
boarding house when it is the woman.

Before st. Valentines Day.

Long before Rome was converted to
Christianity the youths and maids on
Feb. Is annually drew names from
two sacred urns in the temple, Of those
of the opposite sex who fate decfeed
were to be their sweethearts for the
coming year. The early fathers Of the
church, finding they were powerless to
entirely eradicate the pagan practices
of the Lupercalia, changed it from Feb.
Is to St. Valentines day, the 18th.

not quite 30 young, to be sure, who
sits at the end of the table who wants
q valentine.
1t is a, sad thing to want valentine
and not get one, but probably sadder
thing not to send valentine at all.
And the only possible remedy for st.
Valentines mistakes Is for everybody to
send a valentine to somebody he loves.
