The annual supper and meeting OF
the Congregational Church held
Wednesday Jan. 10th was success

Supper was served to nearly 200 by
the men of Hae church who surpassed
even last years record in cooking and

called the meeting to order and the
reports of the various church societies
and branches were heard. Each re-

balance in the treasury.
The Sunday School reported larg-
er average attendance than any pre-
vious year and the Missionary society
a larger amount raised than ever be-

strength to the Legion team. Saul

ten. The final score Of 43 to % doesn't
indicate the difference in strength be

ever, Brooten put up plucky fight
Their home floor is wholly inadequate

have lot of potential strength and

Young Farmer is Making
Poultry Raising Pay
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Pullets
Laid 1,20O Eggs First Fifteen
Days of January

About year ago George Minette.
Junior member of the firm, F. p. Mi
nette & Son, went into the poultry
business in small way as a pastime
and he has made a remarkable show
ing. At the present time, his hero
numbers 81 Brown Leghorn pullets
and 70 Road Island Red Pullets. The
first Is days in January the 122 pull
lets laid 1900 eggs. TheSshen house
is 14x18 feet with 9 #. ceiling and g
dirt floor. Electric lights have beer
installed and the juice is turned or
automatically at 500 A. M. and o.
at 500 p. M. This is effected by an
alarm clock continuance fixed up by
the young man. The chickens are fec
from hoppers and in filters. They
are also fed silage for green feed, the
straw being cleaned up every day and
new straw added. Very often the
hens have laid 20 eggs before day
light. George has proved that it pays
to visit his chickens several times
each day. On each visit he scatters
oats in the straw which makes the
chickens work. The young man is
making more from his chickens than
many farmers are making from their
cows.

WEEKS ADVISES OFFICERS
 TO AVOID CALCULATIONS
War secretary Docs Not Want Any Hints of Imprudent Dealings
 in Army

Washington, Dee. 27.--The stock market operations of Lieutenant os- borne C. Wood served today to bring out general statement Of the attitude taken by Secretary Weeks toward the investments of army officers.
 NIT. Weeks holds that officers should be required to avoid speculative en- terprises on scale that would mark the transactions as imprudcnt in view Of the means of the officers concerned. ! It was in line with the police that the suggestion was conveyed to Lieut.. Wood four months ago that his specu- lative ventures in Wall street should be terminated.
 Lieutenant Woods operations prac- tically ceased at that time. it was said today at the war department, his sub scquent transactions being in con- ncction with the closing out Of the operations in which he already was engaged.
 \ congressional investigation into Lieutenant Woods operations proba- ply will he asked for by Representa- tive Frcar, republican, Wisconsin, who has a resolution pending for general inquiry into the administra- ton Of Govcrnor-Gencral Wood in the Philippines. Representative Frear said today that he considered that his resolution. 1T favorably acted upon. would permit the investigating com mittee to go into such cases as that Of the lieutenant.
