GREAT CONVENTION CHURCH

One Of the most notable of the many
recent additions to Chicago's greatness is
the church in which the Convention will
be held. The Chicago Temple, located in
the heart of the city at Clark and Wash
ington streets, is great, modern sky
scraper surmounted by a towering spire
that lifts golden cross to the highest
point yet reached by builders in down
town Chicago. Within this building is
the great church auditorium of the First
Methodist Church of Chicago 1t is here
that most of the sessions of the coming
National Convention will be held. Its
impressive cathedral style of architecture.
its wonderful tapestry wall decorations,
its great organ, all combine to make the
First Methodist Church extraordinarily
interesting and attractive.

BIG FIELD DAY PLANNED
Speakers Will Occupy Pulpits in Many
Churches in Chicago on Conven-
ton Sunday

However large the attendance at the
Chicago Convention of the Anti-Saloon
League there will, of course, be thousands
of persons who want to hear the messages
but who can not be present even if they
would. So the messages must be taken
to them and this will be done on Con-
vention Sunday, November g. In 800
churches in Chicago and in the area
around Chicago, not only in Illinois but
IN neighboring states, speakers of the
Anti-Saloon League will have morning
and evening sessions speaking from the
pulpits of the churches which support the
League movement The active energetic
ministers in this area have opened their
pulpits to representatives of the League.
There will be mass meeting Sunday
afternoon at the Temple with the possibil-
ity that another mass meeting may be
held in the Sherman Hotel at the same
hour and a certainty that the second mass
M Getting will be arranged if the audience
warrants it.

here to stay. In the south a great many
persons are today as ardent in support of
prohibition as they were when the act was
passed. | do not advocate the return of
liquor or the saloon, but do believe that
Congress might do something to amend
and popularize the Volstcad act The
failure TO enforce one law breeds popular
contempt for others"
These two men have an attitude that is
all too common. The Chicago Conven-
ton will bring all these matters to the
fore and will plan campaign to educate
the people as to widespread activities of
those who are opposed to prohibition and
its enforcement.

In Great Role,
Valley Theater

George Beban, the screens great
est character portrayer in his new.
est role, 1.-The Greatest Love of
AN will open oday at the
Valley theater for q two day en-.
gagement. Beban stands alone as
4 delineator of italian characters
and as Joe, the ice man, in his
latest offering, he again shows his
wizardry at wringing tears and
laughs alternately from his audi.
ences at will.
The story is that Of an italian
who settles in New York s east
side and there, making a living as
an ice man, sends for his mother in
Italy. She arrives, but her happi-
ness is short-lived, for her ignor.
ance of language and customs gets
her into trouble, and circumstan-
tial evidence convicts her of a
crime of which she is innocent.
How Beban and his sweetheart
fight to free his mother provides
plenty of humor and pathos to suit
even the most critical fan.

'Turkhens' Newest
In Easter.
Poultry

Six curious looking specimens
of the poultry world are coop
ed up in the poultry pens of
Rath and Marshall, which have
been found unusually interest
ing by those who have seen
them.
The poultry are called turk
hens,' and are crosses between
. rooster and turkey hens. The
Rhode Island strain of the
turkhens'' is shown ty
their rod feathers, and the tru-
key peculiarities are present in
the form of long necks and
large legs, both these parts be-
ing much larger than in the
ordinary chicken.
Like most half breeds, che
tmkhens' are freaks, and one
is almost tempted to feel sorry
for their outcast appearance,
being neither chickens nor tur-
keys, at the same time, both.
Five of the freaks are of
the feminine persuasion, and
one is of the mora belhgerent
sex, though there appears to be
little belligerency about him.

Prevention Best Remedy
for Chicken Diseases

When one goes into a chicken house
and hears the birds singing, it is a
pleasant contrast to the appearance
Of flock that is droopy, with pale
combs and indicating a general I'M
healthy condition. The difference In
the majority OF cases Is not due to
one producer curing the disease and
the other not curing it. but rather to
the fact that one breeder prevents the
trouble that is affecting the other per
sons flock
Most cases OF roup and similar con-
tagious diseases are the result Of the
disease being brought to the farm with
new fowls which were not Isolated
until they had been proved to be
healthy. Sometimes the disease comes
from an outbreak OF a previous attack
after which the premises were not
properly cleaned up and dislnfected.

own way. The good poultryman does
not wait until they get a strong foot

mo other great Improvement IN our

Of better bulls" This comment *
made by the bureau OF dalryIne Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
In the fOreword OF a new directory Of
cooperative bull associations In the
United States.
The statement Is based on the COM
parative milk and butterfat records OF
large numbers OF COWS and OF their
daughters sired by pure-bred bulls. IN
milk production the daughters ex-
celled their dams by 14.5 per cent.
on an average. and IN butterfat Dro-
duction by 10 per cent. These figures
represent an Increased milk Weld Of
968 pounds and an increased bufter-
fat yield OF 4S pounds. That the in.
creases are due to qualities Inherited
from the pure-bred slres is a fair con-
eluslon based on the knowledge that
In nearly every case the dams and
daughters were. In the same herd and
received the same care
The new directory shows that AZ
the beginning Of this year there were
20 cooperative bull associations in
the United States. These associations
owned LOB carefully selected pure
bred dairy sIres. While the increase
In production because OF good breed
Ing Is very noticeable in the FIRST gen
Grafton, the benefits are also ae-
though the gains are
usually less rapid In subsequent gem
