ments about my work. Very re-
markable results often follow the
correction of bad vision by proper

low that bad eyes are responsible
for all ills and that the fitting OF

Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute held at the
Brockway Town Hall Thursday and
Friday was one of the most successful
meetings of its kind that have yet been
held in this vicinity.
County Road Commissioners, f. f.
Beard, gave a most interesting ad-
dress on "Recent Road Legislation" "
and explained in detail the $50,000,000
bond proposition now before the legis-
lature. Brockway people are becom-
ing much interested in good roads and
Mr.. Boards efforts were very we'll ap-
preciated indeed.
Miss Clara Waldron, st. Clair County
demonstration agent, discussed "Kitch-
en- Arrangement" and by means of
charts showed the most convenient
plans for the farm kitchen and de-
scribed various modern labor saving
conveniences. One Of the distinguish
ing features of the Institutes in this
section is the large attendance of wo-
men folks, and Miss Wal6ron's talk
constituted ole of the most important
numbers of the program. While there
she also organized Red Cross Home
Nursing Glass which will be started In
the near future.
The meeting was especially fortunate
in having present e G. Forman of the
Michigan Agricultural College, and
one of the foremost poultry specialists
in the country. Mir. Forman gave a
series of lectures on feeding, housing,
care and selection of poultry. Friday
afternoon this work proved especially
attractive, when with number of
fowls brought IN by The people who at.
tended he demonstrated the methods
of distinguishing layers from non or
low producers. This will be followed
up next Summer with a number of
culling demonstrations on the farms of
those present.
County Agent Brody outlined the
most efficient type OF county farm bu.
reau organization and talked at con-
siderable length on "Co-operative Mar
keting." That this was live subject
in Brockway township was demonstrate
ed by the fact that eighteen of the
leading men and women present de-
cided to form a Cooperative Buying
and Selling Association which will or
ganiZe in March.
The people expressed themselves as
being very we'll pleased with the Insti-
tute, aud torty-two of the leading far
mers and their wives signed an appli.
cation for similar meeting next year.

Ted Hofmeister, Former Detective and Ex-
Chief of Police.
Rev. Theodore M. Hofmeister, noted
evangelist, of Pittsburgh, will begin an
evangelistic campaign Tuesday, March
18th, 1919, at the Church of Christ, of
Yale. Mr. Hofmeister is one of the
leading evangelists of the field, having
conducted Union Tabernacle meetings
in various parts of the country, carry
ing with him party of five workers.
"These are war times" says the evan
gelist, "and this is time for every man
to double up, and do two mems work.
and more if he is able" The evange-
list practices what he breaches. The
people of South Solon, Ohio, where the
evangelist is now closing a return en-
gagement, were surprised when the
evangelist announced that he would
lead the singing. They learned that
Hofmeister could lead chorus as well
as preach. He told them that his first
experience in the evangelistic work was
that of chorister. The large chorus
choir which is now being organi Ied
will be under the leadership of the
evangelist, and everybody is being in
vited to greet the evangelist on the
first night with full choir and pack
ed house. 1t is worthy of note that ev.
eryone is urged to become a member
of the choir, and thus make this real
community revival.
The Wyandotte, Mich, Exchange
said, "Hofmeister draws the crowds
and wins them to Christ" Here the
evangelist conducted campaign three
years ago with three hundred additions.
Mr.. Hofmeister, better known to his
many friends as "Ted," has remark
able history. He was once a newsboy
on the streets of the city of Pittsburgh.
Here he also served as detective, and
was later Chief of Police in West Vir-
ginia AS lecturer he is known as q
man of no mean ability. He is one of
the National lecturers of the American
Red Cross, of Washington, ID. c., and
is also Lyceum and Chautauqua lee
turer, with role of twelve lectures.
Some of these will be given during this
Yale campaign.
He is student, being identified with
Reno College, Bethany College, Ameri.
can University, Crozier Seminary, and
the Bible Institute, where he has made
preparation for his work.
Yale is expecting great revival un-
der the leadership Of this evangelist,
who is called by the Hon. w. A. Lentz,
"The peer of the best in the country"

"In Recovered Trent. I"

Lloyd Allen, member OF the FIRST
party of newspaper correspondents to
visit the Trentino, the lost province
which Italy fought to recover at cost
of half a million men killed and twice
as many wounded, has written for the
Expositor most interesting article
describing the present conditions in
the province and in Trent, its leading
city. 1t is foregone conclusion that
the peace conference will award Italy
possession of this picturesque territory
which, though peopled chiefly by Ital-
isns, had been held by Austria for so
many years.
You will find much of interest in
this article, "In Recovered Trent,

"The Scout Master"

A splendid turnout filed the seats at
the Auditorium on Friday evening last
eager to see and hear what the young
scouts would do in their first attempt
at play. Perhaps all were rather
sceptioal and feared they were under
taking too big job, but everyone was
happily surprised at the smooth way
in which the play went off, and now
we think no job is too big for our boy
scouts.
"The Scout Master" rs play, is q
splendid exemplification of the work
and duties of scout, and the comedy
running through the whole, made II
vivid and bright, full of life and char
acter.
Ii was q good play, well selected. and
the characters splendidly chosen. Esct
one seemed fitted especially for the
part he impersonated, and none were
embarrassed or showed any constraint
In his manner.
They had been well trained and
coached by their scout master, Georg'
Stableford, who feels that his boys die
him credit.
The quartette of "culled gsnmen,
Willard Cough, Sam Ludington, Har
old Hallman and Bernard Holcomb
brought down the house with theil
minstrel songs and jokes, adding to th'
already good program.
The orchestra of young lads furnish
ed fine music during the evening and
solos by Harold Hallman between act
were greatly appreciated.
Long live the Boy Scouts.
