profitable business This week Mr.,

arron country, brought in the last
installmeni Of a shipment of $50 tur-
keys. which brought them total
OF approximately $1,000. The last

some bad luck with turkeys last
summer, losing POO on account of
bad weather They have reserved
% turkeys as the basis for next
years flock.
Mr.. John Baker is another farmer
who is making money by raising tur-
keys. On Thursday he brought in

COUNTY WILL HAVE FULL
TINE HEALTH DEPARTMENT

This week, we received the in
formation that the county commits
sioners had made arrangements for
the maintaining of full time health
department for next year This
comes as good news and we are glad
that the commissioners have seen
their way clear TO maintain this
department, as it was feared that,
for strictly economic reasons, this
department might have TO be dis
pensed with.
This department since its estab-
lishment, has rendered a valuable
service to the county and has done
an enormous amount of work that
is beyond estimation in the estab-
fishing of healthier conditions thru
out the county While direct re-
suits have been easily observed, the
indirect results will far outweigh
them in value, and cannot possibly
be estimated.
We believe that the work of the
health department is not clearly
understood by the greater portion
of the citizens of the county, and
through this lack of knowledge the
department has had TO work against
odds, thereby retarding its work to
some extent and forcing those in
charge to use measures TO enforce
the law, which, if clearly understood
need not have been necessary. In
order that the people may more
clearly understand the work Of the
health department we are giving in
a brief form the plan under which
this organization works:
It's prime object is The decrease ol
mortality in the community, and to
accomplish this, correct record is
kept Of every death and birth, and
a system of education along health
lines is maintained. This education
is conducted by illustrated addresses
at community gatherings, by the cir
culation of pamphlets and folders
dealing with and emphasizing th'
importance of health conservation
and thru the cooperation of tn,
teachers. the press and organiza-
tiOns and through all available agen-
cies.
To the department is given tn
task of controlling communicate,
! diseases aud in the discharge of thi
work the department is governed b!
laws and regulations Of the Stat
Board of Health. These regulation
empower the health officer will
certain authority AMI requires clos
est adherence TO his line or dut

is required TO keep in the closes

SHRINE CLUB BANQUET
PROVES PLEASING EVENT

The Clayton Shrine Club held its
second annual banquet in Masonic
Temple on Thursday night, mark
ing the close Of the second year
since the club was organized. This
banquet is the crOwning event in
the year and is looked forward TO by
every member of the club. The
committee on arrangements this
year had their work so we'll in hand
that there was nothing left undone
pleasure of those attending.
The room was tastily decorated in
evergreen and on each of the four
tables was two large vases filled
with carnations Each member was
accompanied by his wife, mother,
sweetheart or sister and the num-
Der in attendance was in the neigh
bOrhOOd of seventy. A number of
the shriners were unable to attend
on account of being out of town.
sickness or other unavoidable rea-
sons and the attendance was not
as large as was at first anticipated,
but those who were permitted to be
present enjoyed every minute of
the time. The Shrine Club here is a
strong organization and with the
new members coming into the Ma
sonic lodge the material will he
here for steady growth of the
club.
The banquet was prepared and
served by the Ladies' Circle of the
Christian Church and every item of
the menu was cooked TO perfection
while the service in the dining
room was such that there was not
a moments delay between the SER
wing Of the courses.
OF course, aside from the banquet
speech making is the feature of the
occasion and the list of speakers
at this affair was made up of the
best orators in this part of the state,
and the subjects chosen were in
strict keeping with the order. To
try To give each speech due credit
would go beyond our allotted space
and then we would have only hall
told of the many good things broi
out by the various speakers. r
p. Kilburn presided as toastmasteT
and no better man could have been
selected for that position. His in
troductOry remarks were always to
the point and appropriate. AT the
conclusion of the program the party
retired to the lodge room where
some time was spent in an informal
social way bringing a happy closing
to the pleasant evening.

FIRE PARTIALLY DESTROYS
THE OLD SNYDER HOME

On last Saturday night, the old
Snyder home on Jefferson street
was partially destroyed by fire and
for some time It looked as tho the
building wOdld be a total wreck, but
the efficient work Of the fire de-
partment resulted in the saving Of
the walls and floor. The fire was
first discovered in the roof of the
building about i:35, and an alarm
turned in. Through the convenience
es which have been provided by the
local board of trustees, which pro-
vides sleeping quarters for several
men, above the fire station, the de-
partment was able to respond imme-
diately, and before the siren was
thru whistling the fire truck, we'll
manned, was on the job. The fire
made rapid headway and the roof
was all ablaze before the department
arrived. The house was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. r. f. Hamblen, who
were awakened, ana succeeded in
getting ell their furniture out of
the house, so that their loss amount
ed to practically nothing. The dam
age to the house is estimated at
about $1,000, which was covered by
insurance, and is owned by f.. F..
Hamm.
After the fire was under control
so that one party could handle the
situation, Bob Isaacs came and no.
titled the fire boys that they could
come to his home, across the street,
and they would be served hot bis
cults and coffee. The boys were
cold from their drenched clothing,
and gladly accepted the offer. Mrs.
I6aacs baked hot biscuits and made
coffee and the bdys went back to
their work with renewed energy:
The boys are all strong in their ap-
preciatiOn of this courtesy, and wish
thru these columns to thank Mr.. and
Mrs Isaacs for their kindness.
In the handling of this fire, no
greater efficiency could have been
displayed by volunteer fire depart
ment In fact, the service rendered
al this fire was the equal of that
of a paid department The Board of
Trustees and the Fire Department
who have worked hard to bring uI
the standard of the department, are
due much credit. The board has
fitted up a room of the fire station
as a sleeping room and it is occupied
by several members of the depart
ment, and the minute an alarm is
| turned in, they are ready to respond
The membership of the department
has been increased and the boys are
taking an active interest in THEN
work and are drilling and working
with a view of obtaining the highest
standard Of efficiency.
