.ENSLEY CITIZENS LAST TRIBUTE
 TOLATEPRES|DENT
Immense Gathering Heard EuIogieS To Warren G.
 Harding
ENSEEY BUREAU l THE EGE-HERALD Enslev Ala AuQ 10

Memorial services for President Warren G. Harding were held at the Ensley Methodist church Friday at o'clock. After all business had been suspended in this city, men of every walk and creed gathered in the church and there heard eulogies of the departed chief which held then unmindful of the time. for over an hour.
 The' services were presided over by Rev. E. c. Scott. pastor of the Ensley First Presbyterian church. The Rev. J. A. Holmes of the Ensley Highland Methodist church read the scripture lesson and there followed an address by the Rev. Theo Harris, pastor of the Pike Avenue Baptist church. The Rev. David Griffin, pastor of the Ensley Christian church rendered the invocation.
 Rev. Mir Harris said that God promised His blessing upon the na- tion and the people who loved and served Him. The experiences of Is real proved this to be true. He said that this was religious nation and that the Divine word said, When the righteous rule the people rejoice" He pointed out General Washington slipping away fro mthe eyes of men at Valley Forge and praying for Gods gudience over land he wanted to lead to liberty. There followed Abraham Lincoln whose trust in God and how with Gods help he held nation together. He pointed out Roosevelt as faithful servant ot God. He said President Harding was a Baptist. However, he added that men were not so much concerned as to creeds or church as they were the man and how he lived and thought and acted. MT. Harris said that Mir. Harding was a devout churchman and invited the attention of the as- sembled congregation to the last an nouncements of the President, when at Colorado Springs he said this country needed more of Christ's spirit and more Christianity to save this torn and distracted world. And then the final speech that Secretary Christian read at San Deigo. The time was almost when the President was dying how he said Peace on Earth Good Will to Men" The ad dress of Dr. Harris held his audience absolutely spellbound for 15 minutes.
 Dr. Edmonds Bennett rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, next paid an eloquent tribute to the late Presi- dent and pointing out he lived a>life of rare and useul service to his fellowmen. Dr. Bennett said he was leading his people to a greater tnlns than ,normaley when In the wisdom of God he was taken away.
 The service was closed with a benediction by Rev. William H. Mans field, pastor of the Ensley Meth odist church who in his prayer said the people had come to God for comfort and strength in faith and in trust.
 Music was furnished by a male quartette and, Miss Corey played the organ. Nearer My God to Thee, Abide with Me, and other favorite songs of the late President were rendered.

No, sir, it wouldn't have fooled

Farther and farther away Mrs.

leave her. She allowed Black Pussy,
to just miss her once more and them
she whirred away on her stout;

Let's AN Try the Golden Rule


The older poultry raisers can well
remember when it was a common
thing for the whole country to be
swept every year with cholera, sore
head, and minor ailments, Just sick
chickens" would be the diagnosis.
But every one of us, whether we
raise fine poultry, or Just chickens, -
are indebted to the so-called Fan
ciers" for the almost perfect control
of the diseases common to poultry.
The American Poultry association
celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary
not long ago Fifty years ago there
were not many that thought much
about specializing. but it was done
and we should rise up and thank
those pioneers for sticking to their
convictions. in the face of sarcasm,
and sneers.
I remember the first really fine
cockerel that came to my mothers
flock. A friend OF hers paid three
dollars for thirteen eggs, that was
the number in those days, and she
only raised two cockerels, and sold
one of them to my mother. 1t was a
light Brahama, and such a fine speci.
men that it made some hens of the
same breed a necessity. And from
that time to the present we have
had nice breeds. | don't rememo er
much sickness among the home flock
for cleanliness was a part of her daily
program, in the chicken yard as in
the house.
This nice weather is the time for
all of us to get things in shape, [
am not pushing my flock for eggs, 1
want them to lay good fertile eggs
later, and you can't expect a hen
to lay quantities of eggs all the year
and get results in the way of thrifty
chicks and every egg fertile. The
mar or woman VINO wants nothing
but eggs can feed for that but don't
expect the hen that has laid contin.
uously a whole year to give YOU uni.
formly large and fertile eggs.
[ know the ms and outs of the
tlocks bred in back yards, as we'll
as those raised on the farm, and l
assure you that my penned flocks
pay better than those that have the
entire farm to range on. The range
is good for the young if you can keep
the hawks and thieves from getting
them. But when you get ready to
save eggs for setting, and now is the
time to get ready, it will pay you to
pen at least seven hens and a cock
erel, also about January to pen as
many of your pullets that are begin
nlng to lay now. Put the old bird
with them. 1t is folly to try to raise
chickens from pullers, they are weak
and liable to contract all sorts 'of
diseases.

White at once flew over and drop

way in front of Black Pussy. She
pretended not to have seen Black
Pussy at all. At once Black Pussy
began to creep slowly and softly
as only Black Pussy can straight
toward where she had seen Mrs.
Bob White drop down in the grass.
Mrs. Bob White began to f1utter
along the ground as if she were bad

Pussy became excited. Yes, sir, she
became very much excited She
didn't stop to think that she had
seen Mrs. Bob White fly there in

So Black Pussy no longer crept

myself. But men are curious in the
standards they hold for themselves
and women. w. X. w.
Answer:
Right you are. w. r. w. The
most sublime exhibition of human
nerve in the world is the fact that
the darker a mans past is, the more
spotless record does he demand of
the woman he marries.
Certainly the man who admits
that he has been no angel may be
very sure that any woman is quite
as good as he is, and let go at that,
with both wi ping off the slate, and
starting a fresh score with life.
1t is actually less difficult to tell
whether the woman who has once
strayed from the straight and mar
row path and then fought her way
back to it will be a true and faith
full wife than it is to tell whether an
interrupted young girl will. For the
one has had her lesson, and the 9TH
err has not. The one knows from
bitter experience that the primrose
way is the way of the cross in
reality Her soul has been scared by
shame. Her eyes WEI: dry of the
scorching tears of repentance. She
knows the sordidness of the illicit
relationship while to the ignorant
girl there is always something CLAM
orous in love under the rose.
Not every woman who sins is
sinner at heart. Many a girl who
stumbles into the wrongdoing that
wrecks her life does it through the
noblest instincts of Ter nature. 1t
is because she has it in her to love
greatly; because she is too generous
to bargain; because she is too tender
to say mo- to and deny one dear to
her; because she is too trusting that
she is the victim of the villains who
betray her. Such a woman is not
immoral. When she finds what she
has unwittingly done, she repents in
sackcloth and ashes. She pulls her
self out of the pit her enemies have
dug for her, and walks warily the
balance of her life. And she makes
the most loyal wife in the world for
the man who is big enough to under
stand her and trust her.
It is easy to distinguish between
that kind of woman and the woman
who is Il born wanton. Any man can
do it. But note this we'll, w. r. ".
Don't marry any woman with a past
unless you have a soul great enough
to forget it, and never refer by word
or deed to it. The cruelest man on
earth is the miserable little creature
who marrieS a Wo.Aan, and then uses
his knowledge of her past life to tor
ture her with.

Old Mother Nature.
All day the wounded young Bob
White crouched in a. clump of weeds
on the Green Meadows. It was a
clear, bright day, but the weeds
shaded him from the sun. All day
Mrs. Bob White remained with him.
Her mother heart ached for him. He
himself felt too. i'll to think at all,
and so he did not worry. But his
mother knew what the dangers
were, and she grew more and more
anxious. She looked forward with
dread to the coming of the Black
Shadows and night. She knew that
during the day there was little to
fear down there on the Green
Meadows from Reddy Fox or Granny
Fox or Old Man Coyote. Hidden as
they were under the weeds she was
not afraid Of being found by any of
the Hawk family. But with the COM
ing of the Black Shadows all would
be changed. Then Reddy Fox and
Granny Fox and Old Man Coyote
and Jimmy Skunk might come
prowling around at any time. Then,
too, Hooty the Owl would be out
hunting.
IF only T. could get him over to
the dear Old Briar-patch, Mrs. Bob
White kept thinking. Every once in
a while she would coax young Bob
White to try to walk. But he felt
too badly. He felt so badly that he
wouldn't even eat. She stole away
from him two or three times to get
him some food, but he refused the
most tempting tid-bits. Once in the
afternoon she discovered Black
Pussy the Cat prowling about not
far away. She knew that if Black
Pussy should discover young Bob it
would be the ~end of him. There
would be no escape. So Mrs. Bob

things prove it. Some of these days,
not in my time probably, even the
fishermen will tell exactly which
fish they cought and which they
bought, and come nearer the size of
those they lost.
The other day a man sent for me
TO see a flock of young chickens
he had, baby chicks two weeks old.
[ went to see them for 1 never have
been able to resist seeing Rhode Is
land Reds, nor any other kind, but
not on a lot large enough for chick
ems and a garden. They were from
eggs that came from a celebrated
place, and tempting. but 1 told him
that while they would be worth thir-
ty cents each in the spring / would
not give half of that for them at this
time of year. To my mind it is a
mistake to set more than one or two
hens before December. they are sure
to get saunted unless they have
warm dry place to live in, not mere
ly to roost in, and they must not be
crowded either.
I wish some of the turkey raisers
would write me how they succeeded.
The late spring and wet summer
made that branch of poultry raising
almost a failure through this sec
ton. I've an acre that has just
been fenced, it's for my Reds, but I'd
like nothing better than to put
young turkeys in there next spring
There is not much prospect of tur-
key raising on an extensive scale
though, here unless it is proved that
they can be raised behind q wire
fence. Whole droves, a dozen or
more, go at once, and that is not
encouraging.
I have just received a book that
will help any poultry raiser to keep
up with their flocks, and will help
you to plan for next year.
Send a card to Rosenbaum Bros.

good suggestions for every month.
