Thousand OF chicks are lost annual

declares Prof. C. II. Burgess, OF the
poultry department at NJ. A. C.
When artificial heat is applied there

The following hints and sugges-

upon tests made in the college flock
at East Lansing
A temperature OF s2 to s5 degrees,
two inches above the floor at the edge
OF hover, is the correct initial tenn

Thoroughly disinfect the colony

After the FIRST week use plenty OF cut

RETURN FROM BIG
CHURCH CONVENTION

The delegation from the First
Christian church headed by DR..
H. w. Carpenter have returned
from the international Conven-
ton of the disciples of Christ,
the sessions of which have just
closed in Cincinnati. In many re-
spectS the convention was epoch
making. The great issue of the
meeting was the, unihcation Of
all the missionary and benevolent
organizations of the church. Al
though at the outset there was
considerable opposition to this
movement, on the closing day of
the convention, the merger was
unanimously adopted and F. w.
Burnam, of Cincinnati, was elect
ed to head the big movement.
The union carries with it the
merging of more than ten mil
lion dollar properties and the
setting up of program which.
has the largest promise. The
annual reports of these societies
showed an income of about two
and quarter million dollars
last year.
The convention gave its en-
dorsement OF the Inter- Church
World Movement, named rep
resentatives and agreed to UNDER
write the Disciples part Of the
expense of operation.
The great convention brought
together some 1000 delegates
and more than 10000 sat in the
Sunday communion service. In
spite of two or three stormy ses-
sions in connection with the
above issues, the opposition was
withdrawn and the warnest
spirit of unity marked the clos
ing days of the convention.
Among the delegates from the
local church were, Mrs. r. E.
Turley, Mrs. N. B. Deatherage,
Mr. and Mrs. G. c. Stocker, Rev.
and Mrs. Homer w. Carpenter,
Mrs. B. E. Belue, Mrs. Elmer
Deatherage, with number of
others present for the week end

the Second Christian church.
