SERMON PLEASES
HIS. GRADUATES

HBe honest, upright and play the
game" was Rev. C. G. Fox's admoni-
ton to the graduating class of the.
Valley City High School at the Con-
gregational Church Sunday evening.
Rev. Fox preached the baccahareate
sermon to SO graduates Of the High
School, the largest number that has
ever graduated from the local institu-
ton.
Glove things that are pure and man
ly, and establish a firm basis Of love
in our great American homes" con-
tinued Rev. Fox. "And then religion!
Do your duty toward your God and
community by living a life that is
both pleasing to God and an example
to the people of your community" .
Rev. Fox's sermon was concise and
to the point, and made an impression
on the large class Of young folks who
graduate this year and either continue
their studies in advanced schools or
take up the duties Of making a living
in life.
V. C. H. S. means more than Valley
City High School, Rev. Fox said. 1t
can also mean virtue, charity, honor
and sincerity, and the speaker urged
the graduates always to keep these
initials before them in both meanings.
A large crowd attended the sermon.

POSSIBILITIES OF CHICKEN
RAISING IN TAIBAN

Our friend, Mr. William II. Waugh
ter, gave some very interesting facts
sto chicken-raising, which may be
an incentive to others after learning
his remarkable results.
In conversation the other day, he
informed US that he had raised forty
full-blooded Leghorn hens from n
Spring Matching that were z months
old at New Years. In one month 5
time he had sold SO dozen eggs from
thsi number Of hens, that brought on
an average of forty to sixty cents a
dozen, At present he receives two
dozen eggs per day. If one would stop
to think, this is a very simple way of
receivin ga small income. Mr. Waugh
ter was too modest to say how much
he had revceieed from his hens, but
we used little mental arithmetic and
concluded that he had enriched him
self to the extent Of $500.
