RIRTHnAY SURPRISE

Last Sunday evening the Clark
brothers, James NJ. Noah N, and DR..
W. R., with their families, very
pleasantly surprised their sister
Eliza Jane Clark Morningstar, the
occasion being Eliza James fiftieth
birthday anniversary.
All the brothers were present but
S. j., who left recently for his work
in Wisconsin. Although s. ]. was
not here, his family was present.
In the wee sma' hours of Sunday
morning, Eliza Jane had been called
TO visit her small grandson, Keith
John Lamb, near Delta. When she
returned about $50 in the evening
she was greeted by a blast of autt
whistles, while on the porch were
gathered 25 jolly Clarks to welcome
her home and to extend congratula
tions TO Grandma. Inside the house
to make the event complete, was ;
table bountifully spread with a deli
cious birthday dinner.
Eliza Jane had to admit that he
kid brothers were some kids, afte

SAVE THE BABY CHICKS

As the warm weather draws near,
we must all double our efforts to pro-
tect our chicks and hens from mites
and lice. We can hardly realize the
thousands of chicks and eggs that
are lost every year from these pests.
The chicken mites are little gray
or red insects taht can be found in
the daytime in cracks, crevices of
roosts, nesth, and on the walls and
partitions of houses or coops. They
are ordinarily gray, but at night
when they crawl on to the chicks and
hens they fill with blood and appear
to be red. Thus, to eliminate the
mites, let US remember they are only
found on the birds at night; we can
kill them by thoroughly cleaning and
hpraying the house. Ordinary kero-
sene may be used very effectively and
by adding 10 per cent crude carbolic
acid the spray becomes more effective
and lasting. Spray every two weeks
Lice are entirely different. Their
color is light yellow, they are much
larger, and live entirely on the chick
en-. Instead of sucking blood as does
the mite, it annoys the bird by living
on secretions from the skin and parts
of feathers. The louise never leaves
the bird, therefore spraying is of very
little use in eliminating these pests
When hens woller in the dust they
are trying to kill the louse by filling
up the pores with dust. You can help
the hen by dusting with good insect
powder.
A bettersway to kill the louise is tC
buy a few ounces of blue ointment
and mix it with equal parts of vase
line and apply little to each chicken
or hen. If this mixture is used the
amount the size of pea will be suf
| ficient to treat one hen or from six tt
eight chickens.
A few meat fryings. lard or vase
line, is probably safe with young
chicks. A little sulphur added to any
of these makes it very effective. Ap
i ply a little under each wing, on heaC
and tail. Do not forget to treat thu
mother hen, as the louise migrates
from hen to chicks.
Let every one who has chicks thii
year watch for these pests; they vii
prove a detriment to your flock.
1t is our patriotic duty to save the
chicks.

FULTON's SHARE

Columbus, Ohio Especially. - War
Savings Stamps sales reports from
Fulton county for the week ended
May 2 were considerably in excess Of
the expectations of the Ohio War
Savings committee. The achievement
of this county made possible the rec
ord attained for Ohio in April of sell
ing more War Savings Stamps thar
anv other state in the country.
In this county total sales of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps to Nav /
are recorded at headquarters as $87,
706. This sum was made largely
possible by the increase in War Saw
ings Stamps sales for the last two
weeks of April.
For April, Ohio sold enough Wal
Savings Stamps to build seven trans
ports to be used in conveying Ohit
boys to France. The total cash de
posted in the United States treas
ury for this period was S6,477, ,730
a gain of $2,012,697 over March.

BOXERS AND FIGHTERS

Quantico, Va.-Any good boxer is
almost ready-made bayonet fighter,
according to Capt. A. ]. Drexel- Bid
die, athletic director at the U. S. Ma
rine Officers Training School.
"The Americans and English are
uniquely adapted to this most violent
offensive" says the former Philadel-
phia society athlete, "as boxing is a
requisite in the proper swinging Of
bayonet, and boxing comes natural
to them.
"Their athletic systems develop an
infinitely more combative spirit thar
the Germans because the training in
the various sports is along more
combative lines"

Plans are being made to make this
years May Day one of the greatest
days for the people that Fulton
county has ever had. The boys and
girls from all over the county will
be there. Patriotic men and women
from every section, anxious to get
more definite knowledge of the war
situation and clearer vision of their
duty as American citizens in this
world struggle, will be there.
Governor James Cox is the speaker
of the day and this assures one of
the greatest patriotic addresses of
the year. Governor Cox will also
present the pennants to the schools
winning in the War-Activity contest.

members of boys and girls clubs, and
drills by the Boy Scouts will add to
the interest and enthusiasm of the
day. Boys and girls races will be
free to all. The big picnic dinner at
noon will be a splendid time to re-
new old acquaintances and to make
new ones. Let every one plan to be
present. Look for the "poster" that
will give in detail the program of
the day.
