POULTRY RAISERS
READY FOR DRIVE
Organize Association To Pro-
mote Raising Of More And
Better Poultry

Poultry raisers of Rusk county met
at the county training school Thurs
day evening, May is. and organized an
| association for the purpose of con-
Quoting a drive" for more and better
poultry for the purpose of helping
Uncle Sam in the production of more
food
The stimulating cause of the organ
| iZing was the presence in the county or
Merritt e. SibOle of the College Of
Agriculture at Madison, who is also
representing the Federal government
in this line of work. Mr.. Sibole got
busy right after his arrival here to stir
up interest in the poultry industry and
it was he who planned the meeting
and the organization. Local poultry
men co-Operated in the movement with
enthusiasm and the result was an in
teresting and instructive meeting.
The slogan of the government is "a
Hundred Hens On Every Farm" to
add to the meat supply and release
beef and pork for our troops and the
allies. SO this is a patriotic move
ment as well as one intended for a
reasonable profit for the one engaging
in it. Mr.. Sib0le believes in the pure
bred bird but said that there is no one
"best" variety or breed. It is the in
telligent management and care of the
flock that counts.
The following officers were elected:
President-D. III. Richards Lady
smith,
Vice Pres-Sarah HeacoX, Bruce.
Secretary - August Simon, Lady
smith.
Treasurer-Bertha Tatro, Bruce.
Directors-Sam Dean, Aaron Muir
ray, G. NJ. Householder, Harvey Sugg,
William Dunn.
A big effort is to be made to have
larger and better exhibit at the county
fair next September than was ever
made in this county, and it is expected
that the fair management will coop
crate with this, the Rusk County POul-
| try Association, in making the coming
show a credit to the county, by offering
liberal premiums and furnishing better
| accommodations and equipment than
has obtained in past years.
Everyone interested in poultry is
invited to join this association. Mr..
Simon, the secretary, will issue mem
bership cards, the fee being fifty
cents.

hereafter cease to vex the users of this
important highway. Philadelphia abol-

perform similar part. The ferries
will remain until the Delaware is

ton, is engaged to Gerald Vantage

expert, who gets rid of the unwelcome
ones. A butler is one of the applicants
and then along comes his master

master is Noel Corcoran, one of her
admirers. Mabel learns that Vantage

"A Lady's Name" is no exception to
the rule. 1t is dandy production all
the way through, a bully good story,
and an attraction of superior merit

and there is lots of it, is all clean and
refined. Dainty little Connie" is at

with telling effect and is at all times
charming. The supporting cast is an
unusually fine one, headed by Harrison
Ford, who. gives an excellent portrayal
of Noel Corcoran and Emory Johnson,
who is fine in the role of Gerald
Vantage. "A Lady's Name" is thor
oughly delightful comedy that is bound
to please all who witness it. Para

UNIQUE BUSINESS
FILLS GREAT NEED
FOR ANNAPOLITANS

A new enterprise which promises to
fill one of those proverbial long felt
wants" in Annapolis is the little
'mending shop" on College avenue.
Mrs Allen Lester Fowler, proprietress.
Here old laces are mended with care
and skill. and table linen is darned
with the greatest neatness as well as
the worn stocking There is no need
or excuse for the candidate or the coli
lege boy to go about wearing stockings
with holes in them, when he can have
them neatly darned at the mending
shop.
BESIDES filling that want" the shop
offers employment to those on the out
side and the proprietrress is adver-
tising in another column for help.
Girls and women. capable of sewing
and darning neatly at home may find
work and earn something in the way
of pin money. or money for church
needs and for the Red Cross.
The shop is fitted out most attractive
". and is a cosy nook to visit as well
as place of worthy enterprise.

Avn THE REPUBLIC TOMORRoW

Advertisements in the popular mag
azines by concerns that contract to
build anything from one house to a
complete city have attracted consid-
cradle comment lately. The contract
seems somewhat less formidable how
ever, when ii is recalled that construc-
ton work of this sort is mere mat
ter of rou .ine in the motion picture
production business.
A village. complete with church,
stores, houses, rustic bridges over a
specially provided stream. lighting
system. drainage and paving, is the
scene of large part of the new Theda
Bara super-produc ion. 1.-The She
Devil" recently completed by William
Fox. The work, required only few
days, and included, besides the village,
a house on the apex of a mountain and
directly opposite, on another noun
tain, a reproduction of an ancient
Moorish castle.
"The She-Devil" will be shown at
the Republic theatre Friday.
