PICTURES SHOWN

AT I. M. c. A. RALLY SUNDAY |
 At the afternoon meeting at the local | r. M. C. A. Sunday two reels Of motion | pictures were shown, beautiful scenic. Into the Big cypress and Saving savAges in the South seas. The first showed pret- ty scenes aniene Dig cypress trees and the life of the natives living there. and the second reel pictures wildly the work of the missionary among the savage tribes-of the South Sea islands. how
 through the influence of these Cody
 workers lives were transformed from
 savasery 10 Christian living
 A brief talk was given between the
 reels by General Secretary Edwin Hill
 on the subject of Power. and in part the | speaker said:
 We stand amazed in the presence of
 the great power all around us Who
 would have thought that from the experi-
 meht with a tea kettle the wonderful ! power would ever be developed to It's
 present capacity; how many millions of
 factories and billions of wheels are run
 ming because of steam; floating palaces
 cross the ocean by this wonderful power l Ben Franklin little dreamed that his
 simple experiment with his kite would lead to such marvellous developnent of
 electricity; it would take hours to tell of
 what is being accomplished because of this great power. AS we look upon the
 little acorn, an apparently dead thing. we cannot measure the possibilities
 wrapped up within it, and yet after while we look upon the great oak tree What wonderful things are being wrought
 by the power of water; in recent years the great Niagara has been harnessed and now serves millions of people. All of these things and many others are sug- gestions of great power; we say see what men have accomplished. but Almighty God is responsible for these powers God
 made them and man simply discovered them. In the book of Genesis very significant statement IS this: God said let it be. and # wat 90 let there be , light" le there be a Armament. let the . waters come to.ether.7' 'let the earth bring forth" and 1t was s6."

Was Feed stnr. Error.

It was recently stated in a column of this paper that certain farmers in Leba- non had on the same day bought cotton seed meal at two different prices from a feed concern in this county. It has been brought to the attention of the writer of the article that this was an error at the feed store, that prices were changed on this day, and that due to a misunder- standing among some of the employees of this firm some of the farmers were charged $46 per ton and others $51 per ton on the same day. All farmers who were charged the higher price have been seen since that time by this firm and re- imbursed SO that they. paid but $4s.

SHIPPING TO SMALL CITIES
As There Is Little Opening for carIot
Shipments, 1t Is Advisable to Mix
the Produce.

In small cities there Is little open
ing for carlot shipments of fruits or
vegetables. Shippers of carloads should
never conslgn to such markets I'M
less previous arrangements have been
made with dealer, say specialists Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The small cities are easily
Oversupplied and only at certain times
offer an opening for a carload Of any
kind Of ptrishable produce. Often a
mixed carload is more salable in such
markets than a car filled with one
kind. The most reliable plan Is to
load and ship the car according to re-
quirements previously ascertained
from the dealer who handles the sale.
1t is still better to dispose Of the car
+. o. b. shipping point. This may be
done when the dealer is in need of
the supply and when the shipper is
able to convince the buyer that his
guarantee is good regarding the grade
and quality of the produce.

SANITARY HOUSES FOR HENS
To Secure Adequate Returns in Eggs
and Growth Buildings Must Be
Light and Ventilated.

Chickens will not give adequate re-
turns in eggs or growth when kept
under insanitary conditions, say spe-
cinlists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The construction
Of the poultry house should receive
first attention. Sufficient air space,
lighting and ventilation should be pro-
vided, and the entire house cleaned at
frequent intervals.
While these precautions cannot be
depended upon to control mites and
lice, they aid the poultryman in de-
terminlng when these pests are pres
eDt. Furthermore, the fowls are kept
In vigorous condition, which in itself
aids in controlling pests. Dirty and
iBsanItary houses provide ideal breed
ing conditions for insects and germs
which are detrimental to poultry. Dis
eased fowls, or those with uniformed
bills or feet, fall ready prey to lice
mites and other insect pests, and
should be removed as soon as discov>
cred.
