SWAT ROOSTER"
CAMPAIGN NOW
ON in COUNTY

That the "swat the rooster" cam.
paign which was started in Oklaho
ma last Saturday, will be remark
able success in Grady county was
the forecast of Mrs Nettie r. Cory
ell, county home demonstrator agent
this morning. The drive, which is
being conducted in Grady will con-
tinue during the entire week.
The purpose of the swat the
rooster" drive is to exterminate all
roosters from the flocks that in
fertile eggs may be produced dur
ing the summer. 1t is pointed out
by Mrs. Coryell that infertile eggs
keep much longer than do the fer
tile ones,s and that $15,OO0.OOO was
lost in the United States last year
by producing fertile eggs, according
to the u s, agricultural depart
ment.
There is only one way to keep
your llock ol mems liolh pIouuOlii6
fertile eggs, and that is to get rid
of the ROSTERS" Mrs, Coryell says.
Arrangements have been made by
Mrs. Coryell to secure a market for
those who desire to dispos of their
ROSTERS. Local produce houses are
offering a special hisa price for
ROSTERS this week, as a boost to
the campaign.

ing the war" said Mrs. Coryell this
morning. Let poultry raisers prac-
tice it by disposing of their rooat-

Arthur BOland and Wife
Have Narrow Escape
From Death

A narrow escape from death under
an overturned automobile was the ex-
perience of Mr.. and Mrs. James b.
land of Danvillc last night when their
automobile under the unsteady hand
of Mr. Boland, crossed the Lyn-
donvillc road near the old
brickyard and turned turtle at the
side of the street. Arthur Boland, a
brother, was in the car also but he
was thrown clear of the machine.
A Mass. car came along soon after
the accident and after hard work
the accident and after hard work
rescued Mr. and Mrs. Boland from
underneath the car. Mrs. Boland
was in the rear seat and Mr.. Boland
was at the wheel. The condition of
Boland and his brother caused the
people in the Massachusetts car to re-
port the matter at once to Chief of
Police Finley.
The chief went to the scene and
promptly arrested the Boland BROTH
ers on the charge of drunkenness.
They were locked up in the police
station. A search for liquor upon
them was without results. 1t was be-
lieved by the police that they had
been partaking of "Jackey" otherwise
known as Jamaica Ginger which has
very strong percentage of alcohol
and it is known to have considerable
"kick."
The Boland brothers howled and
yelled in their cells for some time
until the effects of their "auto acci-
dent" wore off. Mrs. Boland suffered
severely from a smashed thumb and
a bad confusion on the left leg.
Early today when the party had re-
covered sufficiently friend drove the
party to their home in Danville. he

tcrnoon when the blaze in the Has
tings house was finally downcd out.

The fire is an unusually severe
strain to Mrs. Ford who came to
Concord with her husband only four
years ago. Mr.. Ford died last spring
of heart trouble. They came to Con-
cord from Gardner, Nc. M. Ford was
a native of Concord.
TO tell the names of those who did
heroic work at the fire would be to
mention most of the names of the peo
pic of the town. Miss Helen Reed and
Miss Ruth Hastinge did fine work at
the telephone exchange in summoning
help from every direction. Ladies of
the village made hot cffee and sand
wchcs and kept them going to the
fire fihgtcrs. This splendid work and
cooperation saved IL terrible loss to
the town.

FAIRBANKS IS
PROMOTED TO
RANK OF COLONEL

Notice of the promotion to the rank
of Colonel of Licut.-Col. Joseph
Fairbanks of this town has just been
received by his family at Brantview.
This is the 4th promotion given Col
Fairbanks since he entered the army
two years ago.
One of the first of the St. Johns
bury boys to enter the service Col
Fairbanks left home for the Officers
Training Camp at Madison Barracks,
N. Y, in less than month from the
time the President declared war. He
received his commission as second
lieutenant in the Quartermasters'
Corps in the summer and was order
cred to Camp Dix but October was
assigned to the Judge Advocate Corps
with the rank of Major and was trans
ferrcd to Washington. His First
work, under General Crowder in the
Office of the Provost Marshal General
concerned the settlement of appeals
to the President from the decision of
the various draft boards throughout
the country. He did important work,
also, in the revision of the question
nairc in the shape of promotion to
the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
When the draft work halted at the
signing of the armistice, Col. Fair.
banks asked for his discharge but
was transferred to the office of the
Judge Advocate General to do some
especial research for General Crow
der. In January of this year his re-
quest for a discharge was again set
aside and he was made legal advisor
in the Purchase, Storage and Traf-
fic Division of the War Department,
of which General Goethals was chief
during the war. That his record as
legal advisor was brilliant one is
shown by the fact that in May, Gen
cral Burr, the present Chief, appoint
ed Col. Fairbanks member of the
Board of Contract Adjustment-the
Board authorized by Congress and
the Secretary of War to settle the
many government contracts which at
the time of the armistice were sus-
pended or terminated. The recent
promotion is a recognition of his able
work in organization and administra-
tion-work which has earned for him
the highest commendation of his Of
fetal superiors.
The many St. Johnsbury friends of
Col. Fairbanks congratulate him on
his distinguished record in war SER
vice.

AUTOIST DRIVES
CAR INTO DITCH
AND DISAPPEARS
Massachusetts, Car Lands
Side-up on Danville Road
Seek Owner

An automobilist driving car num-
bered 76013 mass. registry took a
twenty-foot slide through space on
the West Danville road yesterday
when his car turned over on its side,
and he has disappeared completely.
There is some mystery about the
accident which the authorities have
so far failed to clear up.
The accident happened on the road
between Danville Center and West
Danville. Tracks in the road show
that the car ran along the edge of
the ditch for fifty feet. The front
wheel then struck culvert and was
smashed off. The car turned over on
its side.
A space in the grass twenty feet
ahead shows where the driver of the
car landed. He had gone over the
windshield which was not damaged.
Whether the driver was injured or
not could not be learned today. 1t is
believed he was picked up by pass
ing automobilist and possibly taken
to Montpelier.
The car is an Abbott Detroit road
ster. By the side of the car was
found an order book of the Davis
Baking Company. There was also
an order for films for the Colonial
Theatre of Andover, Mass.
The place where the accident oc-
cured is close to the Ainsworth cot
tage. This house is now unoccupied
and no one in the vicinity knew of
the accident.
The car was in Danvillc yesterday
afternoon and the driver stopped for
gasoline.
