POINTS FOR BEGINNERS
IN POULTRY RAISING

The safest way for those who are
about to make their first attempt to
poultry raising is to start in a small
way with a few fowls, and learn the
business thoroughly before making
large investments. Mistakes will be
made and many difficult problems
will be presented for solution before
success in any large measure will be
attained. AS. soon as it is found to
be a paying investment, more capital
may be put into the plant. .->>..
Anothe good plan for the beginner
who wishes to learn the art Of poul-
try keeping is to: secure a,position
with some successful poultryman.
One or two years Of work on large,
practical plant will be,found great
help, as the methods of caring for
the birds and of marketing the pro-
ducts can thus be learned better than
in almost any other way.
The question is often asked as to
what is the best time of the year for
one to begin. When to begin is not
very important, but the fall of the
year is good time, for then stock
can be purchased for less money than
at any other season. It is also ad-
visable that the fowls be moved to
their new quarters before they be-
gin to lay. =.
If the beginner has had experience
in poultry keeping, it will be all
right to purchase eggs, otherwise he
should begin with the fowls and
thus gain some knowledge of caring
for poultry before attempting to
raise chickens.

at the White House and the. Senate

making on the treaty, the committee
adopted a resolution declaring that

TEXAS TOWN OF 5000
PEOPLE WITHOUT A NAME

Burkburnett, Tex, July 22.-Of
the many startling and strange trans
formations wrought by the magical
wand of oil, none is perhaps more re-
markable than that which has taken
place during the last six weeks upon
the open prairie about three miles
northwest of Burkburnett. In the
midst of derricks that are set over
drilling and producing wells, a town
of 5000 population has sprung up
during the brief time that has elapsed
since the bringing in of the Burk-
Waggoner we'll. This town has not
vet been name, although it already
has two banks, hotel, stores, numer-
jous restaurants and various other en-
terprises that 60 to make up thriv-
ing, pulsing community. The inhabl-
tants of the town say that they are
too busy to give any thought to NAM
ing it. Their mail for the most part
comes addressed to them at Burkbur-
nett. 1t is usually referred to as
"new town., and in the absence of
any formal action in the matter on
the part of the citizens. themselves,
it may be given that name by the
,postofice department. 1t is hurly-
burly sort of a place, with the garish
evidence of newness sticking out
from every angle. =; /

COUNTY TREASURES OF :-..::
WAR WORKS CAMPAIGN
-. ASKED TO CHECK UP

Columbia, July ZZ.-A SIaJement
urging all county treasurers of the
United War Work campaign to check
up their accounts and make a final
effort to secure outstanding, sub
scriptions at once in order to show a
clean slate for government inspec-
ton, has been issued by John w.
Simpson Of the National Loan &
Exchange Bank and treasurer Of the
campaign in South Carolina.
Mr.. Simpson likewise makes. an ap-
peal for individual subscribers to
pay up their subscriptions in full
Immediately: It is not only the fair
and square; thing for them to do,
he says, but he points out the fact
that it is to their interest to dis
charge such long standing obliga-
tions now and face the forthcoming
era of prosperity free of debt and
worry.
"Within the next few weeks it is
the purpose of the leaders who put
over the United War Work campaign
last fall to clean up all their ac-
counts for presentation to govern
ment authorities" said Mr.. Simpson.
GAS treasurer Of the campaign in
South Carolina, 1 think it is not un-
fitting for me to suggest that treas
urers everywhere and the public gen
orally cooperate with the United
War Work committee in helping
South. Carolina and the South to
make the best possible showing in
the final check up.
"There are still outstanding sub
scriptions wholly or in part unpaid
which can be paid at once. This is
true of Columbia, of many counties
in the state of the entire South.
"Quite aside from any patriotic
consideration or the fact that these
subscribers are as bounden to make
good this debt as they are note at
the bank, which volunteered to act
as treasurer IN the interest of them
selves and the community at large
to complete their payments.
ut is an annoyance and poor busi-
ness to let this promise slide. Our
bank which volunteered to act as
treasurer for the campaign, has been
forced to keep several people on this
job alone. The United war work
committee has found 1t necessary to
employ others to look after the. de-
tails of collection. It is high time for
the public to make possible the re-
lease of these responsibilities.
Moreover, 'it,lis to the individ-
uaul's own interest to discharge
these debts. No man wants to have
these things hanging over him, to
feel in his own heart that he is lag
ging in his payments and promises,
or to know that others are aware OF
his dereliction. There could be no
better time than now when times
are booming and the future looks
prosperous for all, to clean up these
obligations and start afresh with a
clean slate.
eff every county treasurer will
make an effort to secure all outstand-
ing subscriptions, and if unpaid sub
scribers will make a final effort to
make good on their promises, we can
