SUPPLY YARDED FOWLS GRIT
Sometimes Lime Needed for Shell
Making Is scarce-keep Oyster
Shells in House.

If poultry has been kept on the same
range for many years, it is a good plan
to keep a few oyster shells in the
houses, as there is sometimes a scar
city Of things about for the hens to
pick up that contain the lime needed
for shell making. Yarded fowls must
have grit and shells all summer
through, as these are not winter feeds
as seine would believe.

Brevet is a French word, meaning
commission or warrant. In military
usage it gives an officer higher nomi,

ceives pay. 1t is an honorary promo

United States army was in 1912, when
Capt. Zachary Taylor, who afterward
became president, was made major by
Lrevet for his brave defense of Fort
Harrison against the Indians, neal

A Name Lover.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
am 10 years old and / am usually
considered beautiful by the college
men with whom I associate.
might have married one of them
but for very silly idiosyncrasy. Is
1t possible that any thinking human
being could fall in love with a
name? Yet I am simply wild about
the name Jack, and when l saw the
golden opportunity" in Wednes-
days Bee my heart leaped within
me and ! decided to write and ask
this Jacks address. VIII you please
send me his address and I shall
write to him. Yours truly,
A NAME LOVER.
No human being in her right
mind could fall in love with a name.
Can you imagine me sending any
thing addressed to "a Name Lover"
If sent such a silly thing to Jack"
he has too much sense to be in
terested. Why don't you send your
name and address?
Brownie and Blondy-Be natural
and friendly with every one, that Is
all that is required of girls of your
age. Have some nice boy friends, if
you like, but forget the sentiment.
Blonde-You had best dye your
dress, for l know of nothing that
will remove such spots from or
candle. Consult good doctor
about your cold, for you probably
need treatment.

Heartbeats
By A. K.

am my keeper
Not my brothers.
Every minute
| must live with Me-
There are blessed hours
Of solitude
In which
Communion with me"
Is inevitable
And soul inspiring.
From infancy my companions
Have influenced my course
But there was ever alive
A repulsion for the
Petty sinner
And the vulgar mind.
Wholesomeness
Is attractive
Free from smudge and slime.
As the years go by
A desire to surround me"
With superior people
Intensifies itself
And l am my closest friend.
I cannot hide from the
me" within
One thing false or true.
Being disloyal to others
I would contaminate Me
Therefore
/ must ever work
And think
And live in frankness
To win the respect of Me"
If l err
Others may shun me
But there is no escaping
From my inner self.
Unless I live true
To my convictions
I am playing dishonesty
With Me"
So
Let me follow those convictions
Rather than emotions
Be a discreet winner
And a brave loser
A square comrade
And a loyal friend.
Succeeding in this
/ have given Me"
A trustworthy
Inseparable companion
Failing
have plunged into
The torments of hell
Which will destroy
My ambitions
And char my soul
For I cannot escape
From the "Me" within.
SELAH!

Of boxes of potato chips.

you think we could get along on
that? Which is the most proper
way for a young man to part his
hair, on the side or in the middle?
Well, I will close, hoping to see
my answer in the Monday or Tues
day paper. E. S.

would be best II you did elope, for
surely each is as deserving Of pity
