Walt Mason Converted.

Walt Mason, one of our best be-
loved poets, has been converted by
the Salvation Army workers in Los
Angeles, Cal. Mason, who is genius,
has tramped every section of the
country. He has been friendly with
the Salvation army for a long while,
but recently corps No. 1, of Los An
geles, was engaged in street services
as Mason passed by and the call of
the army drum was too much for him,
and he became converted. Brigadier
Boyd, of Los Angeles, is loud in his
praises for Walt Mason.
In his characteristic style, Mason
wrote the following poem about his
conversion by the Salvation army:
Zone night while walking down
the street, my mind on pleasure bent
i sought the pleasures Of the world,
but my soul was not content-I saw
the bright lights of the theatre; they
beckoned me to come, as did the mu-
sic and the song in the place where
they sold rum. l stepped into pool
hall and found a vacant chair, antt
thought that I would rest a bit and
drive away dull care; but my mind
it still persist ed in turning memory
sod, reminding me Of the time when
l was winning souls for God. could
ut ind that rest and peace-satis-
faction would not come-When sud-
denly I heard the sound Of the good
old Army drum. Its voice it called
me closer, and I found an open-air,
and once more l could see myself
kneehng there in prayer. For had
been a soldier, and known .the Sa-
viour's smile, but now I was de-
serter-a sinner weak and vile. But,
in spite of my meanness, | went to
the hall that night. My intentions
they we're proper-I meant to do
the right. But deserter is coward
always ready with some eXcuse-or
perhaps a careless person, and won
ders. what's the use? But the pray
ers of Gods faithful people won my
hard and stony heart, and at the
front that night made another start.
And today-praise God-I'm fight
mo. Jesus took me back, and now
once more I'm travelling in the good
old Calvary track"

Miss Emma Jane Warn, Home
Demonstration Agent.
Chicken Campaign Opens Aug 1.

It is safe to say that fully % to
so ger cent. Of the hens which MAKE
I'D the farm flock Of poultry do not
Law eggs enough to pay for the feed
thew consume. Many hens are kept
from three to five years on the farm
and such individuals are always at
a loss to the owner. By keeping the
best LAYERS and culling out the poor
producers a greater profit will be de-
rived from the farm flock. Again
eggs will be Matched from only the
heavy layers and this will have ten
dency to increase the laying qualities
of the next generation.
By disposing of all inferior hens
during the early fall sufficient room
is provided for this years young
stock. This will allow them more
housing space and the health of the
flock will be increased, thus causing
a greater egg production.
The county home demonstration
agent is planning poultry culling
campaign as a regular part of her
yearly work. The campaign will be
carried on from August 1 to October
Is, as it has been proven that best
results are obtained during this sea-
son.
The purpose of the campaign is to
enable the farm owner to realize
greater profit from the poultry flock.
With the present prices of corn and
other feedstuffs it is necessary to Gull
out the poor producer or boarding
hen; to save as much high priced
feed as possible; to keep the best
egg layers for another season; to pro-
vide sufficient space for this years
young stock, and thus make it posi-
BILE to receive the greatest possible
returns from the farm flock.
It has only been during the past
few years that the culling work could
be successfully carried on. The U.
S. department of agriculture and the
different state universities through
the efforts of their poultry depart
ments have been able to make sci
.entific study of poultry and it is
through their efforts that the culling
work has been made possible.
The selection of the good producing
hen is very simple, and most anyone
after few moments practice can sue
cessfully perform the work. The
time of the year the hen sheds her
feathers, the color of the legs of the
bird, comb condition, and other SIM
pie physical characteristics are con-
sidered
The county home demonstration
agent, Miss Emma Jane Warn, plans.
to hold a culling demonstration with
each woman's club in the county. In
addition many individual demonstra-
tions will be given. In this manner
it is hoped to peach a majority OF
the farm f1ocks in the county. For
additional information and govern
ment literature on the subject get
into communication with the dem
onsration agent, Miss Emma Jane

the %pecuniary activities Of the school
are not confined to such linlita-
tons as formerly threatened it's very
existence. In this connection much Gre
dit is due the board of directors, and
the treasurer, MIR. julius Petersen, who
has handled matters very skilfully and
shown much practical interest in the af-
fairs of the school work. The premises
now occupied by the school are like
wise in accordance with other efforts
along progressive lines, the quar-
tiers being large and airy, and equip
ped with facilities not alone for ac-
tual school requirements bit also for
the comfort of the children during
recess and playtime. The staff of
teachers are all experienced people ac-
customed to deal with children, and
strict discipline, one of the most essen
tial assets in pedagogy, is religiously
enforced. 1t is believed that with pro
per support this institution offers all
the advantages of a good preparatory
school.

the company has spent $18, 000.0 in
employing the services of the repair

whose vessels naturally have their own
duties and cannot be placed entirely
at the disposal of the W. l. & P.

the Viking" Of the Amazon Tele-

times the company has spent hundreds
of dollars in chartering vessels, steam

the islands, and no effort has been spared
to reduce impediments to traffic to the
minimum. When it is remembered that
some criticism has lately been advanced
concerning the company's work in this
island, it is gratifying to learn the facts
herein set forth, and when it is borne in
mind that this company has served Cur
territory to advantage for generations,
the reasons for certain present defects
in the service may safely be accepted as
genuine and we trust, as the superinten-

be completed and conditions be so i'm
proved as to permit the resumption Of
work on a normal basis.
