Producers of live stock are finding

also moving at the years low point.
A break of SO to 75c was registered
in the cattle market last week, and
trade opened weak to 25c lower this
week, but on Tuesday country de-
mand for stockers and feeders showed
signs of reviving, and this factor to-

MORRIS Is BUSY
CLEANING HOUSE
Captains and Leutenants Are Ap-
pointed for Clean Up Day. Only
One Week Left

Cleanup time in Morris is being
very well spent. The residents are
busy at all hours of the day raking
their lawns, taking off storm win
dows and picking up their yards
Every effort is being made to make
Morris a city beautiful by April %
the final cleanup day.
Miss Elsa Klipptsein, president of
the civic league has appointed the
captains for the east and west side
for that day. Mrs. George Geenty
and Mrs. L. D. Tripp are the captains
for the west side and Mrs. G. w.
Beise and Mrs. C. G.. Jennings for
the east side. They will appoint
lieutenants to take care of the vari-
Gus streets who in turn will have
volunteer school children under
them. On April %, the squads will
patrol the streets on Morris final
day of spring house-cleaning. Chill
dren from both the public and paro-
chial schools will be given an oppor-
tunity to volunteer.
In preparation for Cleanup Day

Mother Goose health rhymes and a
magic health book to children with
good records.
The schools will send in their
health crusade records to the health
association in St. Paul from whence
awards will be sent. There is a
strong possibility that the rural
schools rather than the town schools
in Stevens county will be prize win
ners in the opinion of Miss Labrie.
The close of the health crusade
does not mean that the precepts car
ried out by the children in their
crusade will be discontinued. Tooth
brushes and soap will still be popular
even though the active movement is
over.

S. S. CONVENTION
LARGELY ATTENDED
Newest Methods in Instruction Given
By Methodist Leaders at Success
full Institute

A large crIwd of Morris people
and ninety delegates from out of
town attended the Sunday school
convention of the Litchfield district
which was held at the Methodist
church in Norris on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
The Importance of grading the
work in the Sunday schools accord
ing to the needs, capacities and eX-
periences of the children was en-
phasized especially by Rev. H. G.
Wilson, Miss Nina Clark of New York
and other national Sunday school
workers who we're the leaders of the
convention. Rev. Elijah Lonbreake
of Minneapolis came in place of Bis
hop C. B. Mitchell who found it i'm
possible to attend.
The old idea of giving some truth
and little theological dogma in
rather haphazard way on Sunday
is a thing of the past according to
Miss Nina Clark, one of the national
workers.
eve are approaching the Sunday
DIOUlSIl lIOl11 I11C VIZ" pO4lAN
of educators" she said. The organ
ization of teachers training schools
through out the country, a carefully
selected Sunday school curriculum to
train children in worship and church
service have brought about a great
advance in the work of the Methodist
Sunday school in the past four
years."
The separating of the children into
departments such as cradle roll prim-
ary, intermediate, young peoples and
adult has also been a big step for
ward, she said. The children are
I promoted from teacher to teacher and
from department to department, and
are given more complicated problems
to study as they progress.
F'To win every available child for
Sunday school and the church" is
the task of the Methodist church ac-
cording to Rev. Wilson who spoke at
the afternoon session on Tuesday.
Gilbert Loveland emphasized the
necessity of giving the child an idea
of his part in relation to the world
through the work of the Sunday
school. Contests to increase member
ship are dangerous in Mr.. Loveland's
opinion because the corps of teachers
is not generally increased enough to
take care of the new recruits.
The bewildering effect on class in
the primary department by lesson
requiring a knowledge of the jour
ney of the apostle Paul was brought
out in the evening session by the
Reverend Wilson. In an illustrated
talk he showed the newer style OF
architecture in churches which re,
quires several class rooms to house
the Sunday school students in order
to make the graded lessons really eff
fective and do away with the DANCE:
of one class disturbing another. Miss
Clark answered the argument
against the graded lessons.
The Reverend Longbreake spoke OF
the relationship of the child to th'
church, recommending that parents
allow their children to join the
selves as willing regardless of how
young they are.
On Wednesday the details of thu
departmental plan we're taken up b.
the Reverend Wilson and the othe
leaders. Five is an ideal number fo
a Sunday school class, in the grade
lessons system. The necessity fo
allowing young people to run thei
own classes and decide their owl
form of church service under care
full supervision was also brought ou
in the Wednesday sessions.

To Control Chicken Lice.
Sodium FIuorid Most Satisfactory.

Clemson College, May.-Poultry lice
do not suck blood. They feed on por-
tions of the feathers or on the scales
of the skin. The greatest loss from
lice is possibly that Of young chickens
which may become infested from the
mother hen, even before they become
dry after leaving the egg shell.
Though there are several kinds OF
poultry lice, they can all be controlled
BY the same method.
Control.
Sodium fluorid appears to be the
most satisfactory chemical to use for
the control of all kinds Of poultry lice.
The treatment must be thorough, and
every fowl in the poultry yard must
be treated, because II one infested
chicken escapes, it may then be but
a sort time until the entire hock is
again infested. The commercial form
of sodium fluorid may be obtained at
most drug stores. Small amounts or
"pinches" of this chemical should be
placed on dlnerent parts ol lne pouy
of the chicken as follows: Place the
fowl on a table in an open vessel, hold
the legs and wings in one hand, and
with the other hand place a small
pinch of the chemical next to the skin
among the feathers on the head, neck
each thigh, underside of spread wings,
and distribute by pushing the fingers
among the feathers. One pound Will
treat about 100 hens For Young chicks
the head. back and body are the only
parts that are necessary to treat.
Precautions.
Wash the hands thoroughly after
using chemical 1t will not injure the

sores. It should Of course never be
taken internally.

THORN ON CHAUTAuQUAS

see any reliable dictionary; after that, all dis
cussion is useless Last season there came to

Florida, couple O. danes with words sweeter
than honey, with garments that werewolf, to
say the least, that were some attractive and
smile that sweet as young girls first
dream of a kiss from her first lover Uh-huh
They didn't land me-f'r I've been fooled before;
but they did land lot of those more susceptible

formers and they put on the show. Everything
was velvet for them. Even their squares are
provided for and their lodging is guaranteed by
local representative citizens And thereafter the
said l. +. C. had to dig down to rake up the cash
to fill the gap that needs bridging When a min.
strel show comes to Kissimmee it comes upon its
own initiative; it may break even, go in the
hole, or make profit; but it doesn't ask guar
anee fund. If these vaudeville shows that travel
under the nom de plume of 'Chautauquas' had
merit, and weren't bunch of beggars and graft
ers, they'd be willing to do the same thing Why

SMILING THROUGH
(Middleton S. Barnwell in Birmingham


hardly ever meet friend on the street who
does not smile as he speaks and passes by. He
smiles at me and | smile at him. and think that
this is happy world after all, and step forth
a little more gaily, l rise little farther above
the sorrow or responsibility which has pressed
down upon my soul; l carry on my face the
bright reflection of his smile for half block or
more, and then, if am fortunate, meet another
smiling friend. l begin to think that am
fool for not smiling all the time, and that am
weak beyond forgiveness when l let my own
little troubles cloud my spirit and break my
heart. When all the world is happy, why should
| be sad My clouds will some day pass away,
and come to believe that they will pass most
quickly before the sunshine of a smile.
And then make discovery. My first smiling
friend, whom had not seen for a month or more,
has recently been told by his physician that he
has but few months more to live. My second
smiling friend only two days ago laid his only
child away in EImwood The one who sent me
on my way frightened and encouraged, but
little envous of him, who had not care in all
this wide wide world, has just lost the last dollar
he had in the world, and all of these from theE
depths smiling on me who passed by frown
ing; frowning because God had given me some
little burden to bear.
There is no truer measure of manhood than a
smile When we look out on life we may begin
by taking it for granted that every mainland
woman, TOBIAS cross to bear. This is without
exception, and I find myself now looking into
each smiling face with this unspoken question,
what sorrow you graphing with in secret?"
! know it is there. And then | find myself try
ing to win the confidence of him who smiles
When this is DONE find myself entrusted with
his secret, and staggered by the greatness
of the burden he has smingly carried for so
long alone. And as l go through the street and
about my daily work, l find myself wondering
how may help him solve his problem or bear his
burden. In thinking of him. | cease to think
of myself, and soon l am smiling And now it is
no mask to hide the misery within, but the nat
ural reflection of soul made happy by giving
itself in service, by losing itself in love- And so
life is deepened and manhood strengthened and
bound together more and more with
bands of impershable friendship, because some
one whose heart breaking had the courage
to smile on me while l passing by
This old world is full of trouble. 1t may be
that in our lifetime we are powerless to change
it. 1t may be that cannot lift one burden,
nor make the dangers less. 1t may be that we
must go to the grave at last buffeted and beaten
but one thing we can do. We can face it un-
afraid and smiling! The road may be winding
and rough today but God is just around the
corner
