County POultymen
Fight Fall Diseases
Innoculation Found to Prove Most
Effective in Arresting Poultry
Diseases-Miller Makes Tests.

With the first snap of cold weather
each fail we find local poultrymen con-
fronted with the same problem of dis
ease in the form of chicken-pox, roup
and caflker infesting their fiocks. 1t
is safe in saying that these diseases
destroy few thousand chickens in
this locality each year.
H. A. Miller, local instructor in the
agricultural department, conducted
experimental work last year among
several of the local farmers in the in
incubation of birds for the control of
these diseases. Last year seven in
dividual cases were under observa-
tion The practice of innoculation
was only performed on birds which
had already contracted the disease,
and it was found that of the 453 birds
innocuated, only two percent were lost
and the remainder recovered spec lily.
The results have been so successful
in these cases that Is farmers in this
locality are now innoculating their
entire fiocks. The policy of inocula-
tion this year has been to perfof m
the work on the pullets at 51a months
of age just at the time they are plac-
ed in their winter quarters. 1t is
hoped that in this manner the dis
eases may be entirely avoided. 1t
might be stated that the biggest loss
to the poultrymen thru an<outbreak
of this disease is not so much from
the loss of life of the birds which
varies from to 20 per cent, but more
particularly the loss of income from
the eggs because of the fact that the
fiocks discontinue laying when infect
ed. The outbreak of colds and roup
is usually very discouraging to poultry
men depending upon the period of
best prices to get the major portion
of their profits. Should results again
be as successful as last year the prob
lem of eradicating the disease among
all the local f1ocks will be relatively
easy matter.

ported on the affair given in honor of
the Club last Saturday night. The
Chairman deplored the fact that SO
many of the members had absented
themselves on an occasion of this ma
ture. 1t was brought out that this
was partially due to the fact that sew
eral of the members were in ignorance
of the fact that the event was TO take

Coolidge Club
At"Crannywood''
Speakers Discuss Respective Mer-
its of President and Running
Mate and Urge Support

The Atlantic County Coolidge Club
met at the country home of Mrs. E. c.
Shreve, Grannywood, Northfield, last
Friday evening, with large attend
ance present. The president, Mrs.
Amy Penhallow Riley, presided.
Speakers were Prof. z. ID. Riley, of
Absecon, and Mrs. Robt. Huse, of Eliz-
abeth. Secretary of the State Commit
tee. Prof. Riley told of the many ster-
ling qualities of the candidate for vice
president, Charles G. Dawes, peculiar
ly fitting him at this time for the Office
to which he aspires. Mrs. Huse spoke
for both of the candidates, Coolidge
and Dawes. She told the women they
had tremendous responsibility in the
coming election, their biggest problem
being to get the women's vote out on
election day. She said the LaFollette
campaign was well financed and orga-
nized and doing much work among the
dissatisfied Industrial workers. She
showed there was no other country
where all classes of working men went
to their work in their own automo-
biles. LaFollette's motto, placarded
everywhere, is Help LaFollette to
help you," which sounds very catchy
and well calculated to fool those not
knowing the calibre of the candidate.
She impressed on the women the
greatest danger was from LaFollette.
She thought Coolidge had a supreme
endowment of character, and for this
reason said we want to keep him
where he is, and in Dawes We had a
candidate fitted in every way to take
up the reins should they have to be
dropped by Coolidge as they were by
our late President Harding. She stat
ed it was up to the Rural districts and
Republican strongholds to give Re
publican majority, and this could be
accomplished If every disinterested
woman was interested and cast her
vote on Nov. 4th.
A splendid musical programme was
rendered by Mrs. Ella Ireland, soloist;
Miss Josephine Carr, soloist, and trio.
Mrs. Chas Wilson, Mrs. Ella Ireland
and Mrs. Harry MacCauley.
Many active plans for work were
made in the executive meeting, which
preceded the meeting of the Club.

ALASKA AND MISSION WORK.

At the First Baptist Church on Sun
day night the Rev. Raymond Clemens
will deliver a sermon-lecture on Alas
ka and our mission work there. 1t
will be illustrated by so beautiful col
ored stereopticon slides showing the
wonders and beauty of that far off
portion of our country.
Alaska is about one-fifth of the area
of the United States and was pur-
chased from Russia in 1867 for ST.
100000. or two cents per acre. The
last few years have shown that Alaska
is a great asset. The story of Bap-
tist Mission work there is one of pc
culiar interest and great good is being
done. The lecture will, we are sure,
be of interest to all and the next best
thing to going to that land is to see
the pictures that will be shown upon
the screen.
Music win be furnished by the Jun
ior Choir and orchestra. There will
be "a short song service before the
lecture
