June Brides

The month of June will certainly be a month of weddings if the record started yesterday in the issuance of marriage licenses is maintained" said Bert Stiles, deputy clerk in the probate court.
 We made splendid start yesterday and issued more marriage licenses than for any day, with the exception of Saturdays, in many months.
 The beginning is unusually good, and if it Is kept up throughout the month, 1 believe we will break all previous records for June."

 T simply have enumerated them to show that whenever public thing of worth is pulled off in Birmingham, you can count on Rotarians having their full part in it. l also saw quite a few members of tLe Axis club with baskets on their arms. The Axians are the wives of the Rotarians.'

Double benefits accrue as the re-

important thing is that the people
who use more water than others
must pay more and those who
waste water must pay for such
waste The meter system has taught
the MASTERS how to use the service
in the correct way. Many find that
they need not use so much water
as they did and others have re-
paired their plumbing and stopped
leaks. This means a saving to the
CITY. as there is no longer need for
a Zig pumpage and operating ex-

New crates delivered by truck in most
cases, can be made in Delaware and
sold at a profit. With the power facili-
ties available all over the state, in the
cannery business particularly, the manu-
facture of egg crates, Matching egg bas-
kets and day-old- chick boxes looks like
a profitable possibility.
Trap nests in single units, in batteries
and interchangeable units, are in de-
mand, and the most successful trap nest
known is free for public use, no patents
covering it as an invention. This is the
nest used in The North American compe-
titions. Any manufacturer is at liberty to
use tits freedom from hardware
makes it particularly desirable from a
manufacturers standpoint.
Delaware should not be forced to i'm
port second hand egg crates from either
New York or Philadelphia-in carload
lots about $50 crates to a car, on 531a
cent rate per 100 pounds minimum 1000
pounds, crates f. o. b., Milford, cost the
local user II cents each; in less than
car lots the cost is 1872 cents each crate.
Hundreds of thousands of egg crates
are annually used in Delaware-the es-
tablishment of a manufacturing plant OF
sizable proportions, to utilize a goodly
norton of the idle season of canneries,
will work to the advantage of the can
merry owner and egg crate purchaser.

they lay around the first week of the
competition. Selected at least a month
before the test begins, there is ample
proof that a more thoro education in
selection for egg production must be Sc
cured by poultry men; logically if the
English poultrymen can pick bird to
begin laying thirty days hence the Am
erican poultrymen must be educated to
the same degree. Likewise, they must
not be content with selecting birds that
are laying thirty days ahead of time and
have them molt after opening date and
neither should they, for commercial pur-
poses, hatch birds that mature unevenly,
too soon or too late.
Selections of breeding stock with
known traits will eliminate a great deal
of the loss accruing from uncertain and
uneven maturity and fixed rules of feed
ing and housing will more nearly bring
about certainty of results.

cent chicks and 10 per cent Matching
eggs and each year the volume of hatch
ing eggs is less than the year before.
The reason is very plain; buying hatch
ing eggs is a gamble, pure and simple,
the eggs may be of the most fertile when
they are packed and shipped, but for
one reason or another the fertility is de-
stroyed in transit and only very poor
hatch or no hatch at all results Three
weeks valuable time is lost and it will
probably be six weeks lost before a dup
licate setting can be had and that may
turn out just as poor With day-old-
chicks there is no gamble at ALL as the
hatchery guarantees live arrival and full
count and you know when you place the
order that you will get as many chicks
as you order and pay for; the chicks are
just as easy to raise as though hatched
at home if proper breeding instructions
are carried out. I foresee that the busi-
ness in Matching eggs will ultimately re-
duce itself to just high class fanciers

POuI-Tra-TOne
A Tonic For Poultry
Makes Hens Lay.

Are you interested in your poul-
try?
Naturally you are-possibly more
than in years past, because of the
failure of crops, while the reduced
prices for produce compels you to
look to poultry for assistance.
If this is true in your case, we
will endeavor to assist you in in
creasing your income.
We are introducing to poultry
raisers a preparation known as
POUL-T which is alb
solutely guaranteed in every re-
spect.
This preparation is compounded
for exclusive treatment of poultry
including Turkeys, Ducks, Pige-
ons and last but not least, Chick
ens-from the day-old chick to the
laying hen.
Many ailments prevail in grow
ing chickens-but, those such as
Cholera, Gapes, Roup, Timber
Neck, ETC., are common and re-
spond to treatment. AS a general
tonic for chickens and turkeys, we
absolutely guarantee POUL-TRA-
TONE to effect a complete cure.
Here is our offer. You purchase
a package and give it to your poul-
try according to the directions,
and, if you are not perfectly satis-
fed, return the empty package
when we will not ask you any
questions why you are not satis-
fled, but will return your money
as freely as we received it. If we
could make a better guarantee, we
ask how it can be. done.
Possibly your chickens are ap-
parently in healthy condition-yet
you are not getting the number of
eggs you should. This is due to
weakened condition that needs
treatment.
In feeding TONE
YOU will find that it will increase
the yield of eggs from the flock
repaying you many times for the
cost of its use and treatment.
Our object in writing you this
letter is, not to make a single sale
but to prove to yorI that there is
a remedy which will help you to
grow better turkeys and chickens
which will lay more eggs.
We know that when we help YOU,
that Won will helm us to introduce
POUL-TRA-TONE throughout the
country and make of it a Nation
al Remedy instead of a local one.
We have not yet been able to
place it in the hands of all deal
ers, but, in order to secure pack
age at once-send us 80 cents and
we will send it by Parcel Post
Prepaid.
Thanking you for your attention,
we are,
