their dairy work. Several books OF
noted writer's on dairying and agricul-

The program of the day as an

ence in the subjects given. c. II
Fuller. the first speaker. told OF his
experience In remodeling an old barr

| Unstable windows, and windows thai
would not frost up, being double
lighted: also his method of ventilatine
his barn, using the simple one string
| pull method of opening and closing
the ventilators on the roof from the
foor below. Mr.. Fuller is firm be-
lever in all sanitary principles about
the barn and dairy, and he arranges
to carry these out in his dairy work
| Before becoming patron OF the

Harvey b. Goodwin has recently
completed a job on the new Agricul-
tnral building at the park. This struc-
ture has such large roof area that
in winters where snowfall is heavy
an unusual strain is brought upon the
roof truss work. To make sure thai
the building received no INJURY from
this source, sufficient number OF
iron truss rods have been put in place

r. & e. SONG SERVICE.
Sunday Afternoon Service to Be Con-
Quoted by Factory Employees.

The Sunday afternoon community
singing will be conducted by the en-
ployes of Russell & Erwin for next
Sunday afternoon and the program
will start at $50. The song meeting
will be held at the Elihu Burritt
school hall, which was filled beyond its
seating capacity for the song service
of last Sunday. The people from Rus
sell & Erwin's plant, together with
their friends, will try to duplicate this
large and varied crowd. The best fea-
ture, however, of these Sunday pro-
grams Is not primarily the size Of the
crowd which attends, but 1t consists
rather in the spirit and enthusiasm
with which the program and the COM
munity singing Of the audience is
characterized
Each separate Sundays program
presents some features that are dis
tinctive and different from those that
have preceded it. The people who arc
preparing the program for the Rus
sell & Erwin plant song service will
not attempt to provide a program just
like the others, but one just as good
or better than if possible.

The work of finding the scarlet fe-
Yer patients was not left to the doc
tors of the city who in turn would re-
port to the health department. In
several cases where one case was re-
ported by a doctor, the laboratory
nurse upon visiting the family,
would find more members sick with
the disease. In one family, where one
patient was reported, the laboratory
nurse of the health department found
four other members of the same fam
lily afflicted. The same was the re-
suit in several other cases. If the
health department reports general
conditions as excellent they want to
be sure that the conditions are excel
lent and this can be aided by mutual
cooperation, the superintendent de-
clares. Not only are the people in
general asked to aid in the matter,
but the doctors also are asked to take
more care in reporting contagious
diseases. The majority of the doctors
in the city have co-operated we'll
with the health department.
The health of a, community should
come naturally before anything else
in that community. If general health
conditions are good the city gets along
much better than if it is threatened
every few months or years by vari-
Gus epidemics.
DR.. Stockwell of the health depart
ment stated this morning that the
cases at present are not confined to
one section of the city but that there
are few in many sections. Thus the
schools cannot be blamed as possibly
harboring the carrier Of the germ, as
it is prevalent in more than olb
school district. A complete and thor
ough investigation of the scarlet fe-
ver sickness has been made.
