Interest in Poultry Work Growing;
sehoIsrship for Canning Club
Girls; Other Things.


Ever since came to the county IN
1917 I have been talking better poul.
try and better use Of poultry pro
ducts. But now everyone is talking
these things. and am very glad 70
have. not only the boys and girls. blu;
also the men and women, young
middle aged and old. come in and
tell me the kind Of chickens they are
raising and the success they are nav
ing and all those things.
As you know, q very isrge part Of
my work is along the line Of poultry
raising. And since we believe this
the best section Of the State for that
work we are putting special emphasis
upon II this year II seems likely that
we are going to have feedstuff in
abundance, and see no good rea-
son why we cannot make a record in
poultry raising this year.
The boys and girls who have joined
the Poultry Club have all the adyan-
tage this year. and II they do not
make q success Of their work | will
be anxious TO know why. The peo-
pie over the County who are raising
pure bred chickens are all telling me
that they are Interested in the boys
and girls and that they will let them
have eggs for Matching at reduced
prices. You can often get your eggs
near home. But II you need any
help about locating good eggs or need
any financial assistance about get
ting them you had better let me know
at once. You remember that the
Chamber Of Commerce is helping
those who want 10 take advantage Of
their offer. You had better see me
~ once II you want 10 secure your
eggs In this way.

"War Time"

A novel memento Of the great war is
clock, which is made from munitions
both enemy and allied-collected on
the Somme battlefield by soldier,
who afterwards used them for this
purpose. The body of the clock is a
German shellcase, and German cart
ridges form the legs. Of the three
cartridges on top of the timepiece, the
two outside are German, and the one
gracing the center French, while the
two small ornaments between these
are Belgian bullets. The side orna-
mehts are made from Verey-lig ht
cases, pierced to ADMIT of q British
cartridge projecting through the top.
The pendulum consists of five
French bullets, and the figures and
hands are bent to shape from copper
wire taken from German trenches.
To complete the whole, the clock
movement inside is also of German
make, and, after necessary repairs, is
found to be entirely adequate.

D. W. GRIFFITH'S TRIUMPH
''EEARTS OF THE WORLD"

"Hearts of the World" the supreme
triumph of D. W. Griffith, to be pre-
sented at the Grand Theatre commenc-
ing Tuesday, Jan. 7th, has inaugu-
rated a new era in the realm Of the
screen drama. Here, with the great
war as background, Mr.. Griffith has
filmed simple little love story, old as
the ages yet ever new. "Hearts Of the
World" has proven the latest sensa-
ton in the screen world. Mr.. Griffith
realized that the public which became
enthusiastic over "The Birth Of Ma
ton" and Intolerance" would expect
something big from him in this latest
picture, and therefore instead Of try
ing to out-do himself in staging gigan-
tic battle scenes, he used the great
war only as q background for the
filming Of simple and attractive
story of tremendous human interest.
"Hearts Of the World" shows the
happy, peaceful life of the people of
small village before the grim horror
war reared it's ugly head over the hor-
lion. The causes that led up to the
war are shown; the meeting of the
English parliament or the eventful
AiSLL "IlSu CuS VCCc Was Cast lOT WAL,
the session Of the French senate vot-
ing upon the declaration of war; the
session of the cabinet awaiting the IA
tai hour when the ultimatum to Ger
many would expire. These scenes
come as prelude; then the great
drama begins when the German
hordes enter France.
In taking the battle pictures for
Hearts Of the World" Mr.. Griffith
had the assistance and cooperation of
the British War office. It is the opin-
ion Of all who have seen Hearts of
the World that Mr.. Griffith had out
done his own best achievements and
has established new artistic record
which it will take wears and years for
someone else IT. erua' If indeed s,,ch

Ancient Czecho-Slovakss

The CZechs are an ancient race
They were tlourishing in Bohenlia
away back in the fifth century before
Christ, and they have always been
noted for their progressive spirit, for
their longings in the direction Of lib
eralisn and democracy, and above an
for their industrial and commercial
enterprise, thanks to which they have
been for the past 400 years the eea-
nomic backbone of the Hapsburg mon-
archy.
They were independent, and there
fore unfettered, until they foolishIy
elected Emperor Ferdinand of Aus
tria as their ruler in 1920, not only
because he was married to the daugh-
ter and heiress Of st. Wenceslaus, but
also because he solemnly pledged him
self to respect their national rights and
liberties. Needless to add that Ferdi-
nand I failed to keep his promises
This is a popularity of the house Of
Hapsburg, which is at last to bring
ruin upon their empire.

Edible Fish IN Eosporus.

DR.. William W. Peet, who recently
returned to the United States frorn
Turkey, says that there are so va
rieties Of edible fish in the Bosparus
During normal times great wagonloat1s
of these fish were carried through
Constantinople. A fish 20 inches long
often sold for the equivalent of five
cents. The poor were thus able fe
obtain food for very little money. To
day similar fish is sold for ten times
the usual price. 'sThis is not because
there are fewer fish in the Bosperus.r
said Doctor Peet, 'but because there Is
no longer an adequate supply of fish
ermen.''

The soldiers abroad and in hospi-
tails are still in need of more books.
The public library has selected the
days from January 1st to 18th for a
special book drive. Your books will
be welcome at any day between those
dates, and will be promptly sent to
headquarters for redistribution. The
need is greater now than ever, as the
wounded in hospitals will have to
pass away many long days before they
will be free to return home. The lives
of the boys abroad are more inactive
now, but there are duties yet to be
performed to keep many there. Time
of inaction and separation could not
be better spent than with good books.
Make your selection, and bring them
to the library. We will prepare them
for immediate shipment.-Eelen Grit
fths, Librarian.

Look to Africa for Food,

The worldwide shortage of food and
the certainty that this shortage will
continue in modified form for years to
come has reused France to utilize more
fully her great colonies just across the
Mediterranean. Comprehensive plans
are being formed--and started on the
way to fulfllment-for refrigerating
and packing plants in Algeria, so that
the animals need not be shipped across
the sea alive. These institutions, too,
will give a much reader and steadier
market than has been available hither-
to. and that is probably all that is
