SINGING CONVENTION

On account Of so many things TAX
ing place this fall it seems that
something conflicts with every date
the singing convention sets. We
don't want to conflict with any meet
ing or anybody, because all of these
gatherings are for the interest of
everybody in the county. So it seems
that about the only thing to do is 10
have the convention on the first Sun
day in October, the 7th, at the fair
ground We are looking for more
classes this date than any conven-
tion yet. l want each class leader
and teacher to pick a mixed quartet
out of his class or as many classes
as he may have. l can put all of
them in chorus and practice them
on the songs we will sing on Agri
culture Day. Mr.. Jaquess wants
several songs from this chorus at the
courthouse. By 0utting this off it
will give everybOt y chance to be
in shape for the first Sunday. Hop
ing we may have a great day. am,
Yours i'm song,
JEFF WALL.

woMAN's MISSIONARY SOCIETY

The Woman's Missionary Society
of the Methodist Church met on Mon
day afternoon at the church with
several members present.
The meeting was called to order
by the president with the song Call
Hail the Power of Jesus Name" and
a most fervent prayer, after which
some business matters were discus.
sed and some dues paid.
Mrs. Sisk then had charge of the
program, the subject of which was,
The Kingdom of God in Legislation.
She called on Mrs B. NJ Stanton to
read the Bible lesson-the Golden
Rule-"ThOu shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and thy
neighbor as thyself" THAT We love
one another as have loved you" It
is this spirit of love which prompts
us to give to others their rights and

CHICKS INFESTED WITH LICE
Mother Hen Should Be busted With
Some Good Insect Powder-Make
Examination Often.

Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested
with lice. If the lice get very nu-
merous, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she is put in the coop
with the chicks, and at intervals Of
several days or q week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the head,
under the wings and about the vent.
If any are found, a little grease, such
as lard, should be rubbed on in those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much will injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated if lice are
found on them.
