EARLY BIRDS HAVE ADVANTAGE
OVER THOSE HATCHED LATE

The early bird-rcfcrring to poul-
try-not only gets the worm but
seems to have every other advanta G
over the one that is hatched late. Up
on early hatching largely depends
the success Of poultry keeping, say
specialists Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Early hatch
ed chicks, they are, produce we'll
maturcd, vigorous pullcts, which will
begin laying in the fall and early
winter. 1t is only from such early
laying pullcts that the best production
and greatest profit can be secured.
Early hatchcd chicks also mean hons
which grow broody earlier the next
spring, and these in turn allow early
hatching to be continued to a greater
degree when natural methods Of in
cubation are relied upon.
For several years the department
specialists have conducted early
Matching campaigns. The movement
has been encouraged by State officials
and county agents until now such
campaigns are conducted carly in the
spring over practically the entire coun
try. Reports from poultry special
lists and other sources indicate that
early Matching is being practiccd
much more generally this spring than
ever before, the favorable weather
conditions being largely responsible,
for this fact.

Listen to the true story Of
"A Regular Nurse"
There had gathered i'm the Court
House the little group of women who
had struggled and prayed for Pub
lie Health Nurse for their mountain
community. The men of local in
fluence, who had opposed that strug-
gle, consented at last to consider the
matter.
Unmovcd, the men sat; anxious, the
women waited during discussion of
the Public Health Nurse, her Qualifi-
cations, and the need Tor her that ex-
isted.
Finally, local doctor rose and said
slowly, 81 don't know about these pub
lice health nurses, but regular nurse
came to our town and tended the low
downdest fellow in this county and
since then he amt been such Il low
down fellow and his family amt been
such low-down family"
That simple tribute won the day.
The community is looking for a reg
ular nurSe--a regular Public Health
Nurse.
That's what you may be, but, no
matter what form Of nursing you de-
eide on after three years (and oh ,
how fast they fly), you will always
hold tender, funny memories of

this human interest-and if you real

uniforms, lectures, and eight or ten

nineteen years old, have completed
