An Ideal Rest and
RecuperatingNook

The camp Of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. G..
Forster, on Wolf Creek, about five
miles south Of this city, is certainly
an ideal spot for rest, recuperation
and pleasure. Splendid trees furnish
constant shade for their tents and
camping grounds, which is practically
on the banks of the stream, which
abounds in game fish. Right at hand
there is also bathing pool, which
furnishes much pleasure.
Fof some time past Mr.. and Mrs. j.
G. Watson and Jimmie have been
sharing this camp with Mr.. and Mrs.
Forster, until it is now more common
ly known as the Forster Watson
Camp. There one who is rundown
can soon regain their normal vigor in
hunting, fishing, bathing or in any
thing else they may feel inclined for;
or, they can sit around the "camp-
fire., which in truth is a real stove
in a fly-proof kitchen, and hear har-
rowing tales of every description, as
there are usually warriors" present
I'who have fought. bled and died" on
many fields of valor. as5 s4'pl
1t is certainly a real pleasure to be
permitted to enjoy the hospitality of
that camp, either for an hour, day
or week. No one who has an invi-
tation to enjoy the hospitality of that
camp can afford to forego such a
pleasure, nor will they, If they sus-
pect even part of the pleasure that
there awaits them.

GEORGE WILLIAM HARLAN

At 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
July II, Rev. George William Harlan
passed to his stefnal reward, thus re-
moving from this city one of Gods
true noblemen. He was 81 years, 10
months and 4 days old, making him
the Oldest man in Pennington and i'm
mediate vicinity. Death was due to
pneumonia. Funeral services were
held at 10 o'clock yesterday morning

in the Masonic cemetery.
Rev. Harlan was born Sept. Z, 1924,
in Trigg county, Kentucky, coming
from a family of noble traditions,
Christian purity and intellect. In his
18th year he professed belief in Je-
sus Christ and later he heard the call
to, the ministry, to which he eagerly
responded. He received is education
at the Illinois College at Jacksonville,
ILL.,, and later took work at Andover
college and at Princeton University.
Immediately after finishing his school
ing he came to Missouri, where he has
spent his entire life. Those, were pi-
oneef days, without the comforts of
the modern home Or ease in travelling.
But Rev. Harlan was not daunted and
often went fifty miles to fill "a pulpit.
He was among those who laid the
foundations of the present Presbyter4
ian church of Pennington. Among
his various charges we're: Patterson,
Wayne county, where he served ten
years; tSyenite, years. and Farming
ton, 15syears. One of his great de.
sires was to place a, Bible in every
home sand for many years he repre-.
sented the American Bible Society
working, toward this end. He was al.
so for more than fifty years stated

was married inyApril, 1853, to Emily
Morrison and to this union two chill,
dren were born, Mary Wilkinson

and w. M. Harlan. prominent citi.
zen and member of the Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Harlan died in 1864. A
second great love came into his life ir
July, 1867, when, he. married Mis-.
Martha Kennedy, who has been hi;
faithful helpmeet for many years anG
who survives him at DEATH. 70

Time to Gull HenA

In spite of the fact that culling Of
hens for egg production has been
practiced In st. Francois county for
several years, there are great many
flocks where improbable hens are
kept and even used to restock the
flock. Chilling IS a simple, effective
and inexpensive practice. Thousands
of farmers testify to these facts. Just
why farmers viii continue in keeping
Improbable hens after an opportunity
has been given them to learn to Gull
is uncertain. Reports from farmers
over the county show that there are
quite. a few who do not Gull. Mr..
Townsley and Mr.. Schroeder, poultry
extension specialists from the Col
lege Of Agriculture, were in the coun-
ty Tuesday and held culling school
for county agents and poultry COM
mitteemen at Roy Johnson's. Some
points discovered recently about char
acteristics of good and poor layers
were brought out at the culling
school. !. Mr.. Townsley advised the
agents In their culling work not to
Gull flocks that had not received pro-
tein feed this summer. The culling
practice sometimes receives set
back when a flock Of this kind is cull-
ed.ii Those se,hensfclassed as culls are
culls sometimes. because of lack Of
feed that geesSto1 make the eggs. Con-
sequently, when they. are separated
and all fed according to instructions,
some of the culls will lay.
Efforts will be made to hold culling
demonstrations in every community Of
two or three school districts in the
county, upon requests by people whose
chickens have been receiving a pro-
tein feed. These requests may be
made by phone or letter to the Farm
Bureau office. The farmers should
remember that it is not possible for
the agent to Gull every flock in the
county and that efforts must be made
by the farmers to attend culling
demonstration In their community ev-
en- if they must go two or three miles
to see it. Each flock should be culled
two or three times during the months
of July, August, September and Oc-
tober, therefore the. quicker the flock
owner learns to Gull the better off he
IS. ,sNe.,vs. e,,,,
Here are the requirements to get
your flock culled: been feeding a ra-
ton with protein; notify the County
Agent by'1etter Of phone. at the Farm
Bureau office; aftef tlfe Date sf1d hour
hhas been arranged, notify everyone
within a radius of two miles of the
demonstration; have the hens enclosed
inra small space where easily caught;
have plenty of help to handle the
ahens;sasall the, culls. irnmediately-@or
keep them at least week, feeding
them as the good layers are fed and
report the number Of eggs the culls
and the good hens lay in weeks
time This do, and you shall have a
culling demonstration. 80

Notice to Public

The coal situation is extremely
grave. At present it is impossible to
get coal at all. We are now burning
wood, endeavoring to keep the plant
in operation the full "a hours, but the
wood supply is limited and only
through the very closest cooperation
of the consumers of light and water
can this be done. Patrons of the plant
will please use only such light, power
and water as is absolutely necessary.

ST. Franeois County Farmers

Reports from different counties in
Missouri state that the 'chinch bugs
are doing an enormous damage to the
corn crop and that they have dam
aged wheat and oats The damage
done this year in St. Francois county
has been small and only in a few
communities. The action Of the
farmers of the county taken in Grad.
icating this pest, has been successful
in reducing the loss by ehinch bugs to
minimum. The close pasturing and
burning have resulted in destroying
millions of these bugs. II is felt that
some credit is due the Farm Bureau
in this work of getting the farmers to
take steps in control methods. 1oo.s
