Poultry Industry on
Eve of Greatest
Development

IT. HE best show Of the week opened yesterday in a
building on Dolorosa street under the auspices
of the Lone Star Poultry Association. The bill is
varied, entertaining and educational and the perform
ance is continuous from o'clock in the morning until
1880 each evening this week
This, the fifteenth annual show Of the association
Is OF unusual interest not only because of the exhibits
but also for the that pertains to an industry now
upon the eve Of its greatest development in this section
OF the United States. The emphasis placed upon utility
classes is significant
Conditions here are ideal for poultry production
and for all the allied industries That advantage has
not been taken Of these conditions is attributable
to the fact that the development of this territory had not
arrived at that stage where satisfactory markets existed
as an incentive to poultry production and where nten-
sive practices We're advisable.
The assertion that conditions here are ideal for the
poultry industry is made advisedly We have a mod
crate annual rainfall natural drainage an euuabe eli
mate an abundant supply of pure water green foods the
year round and plenty of sunshine during each of the
IL months conditions which all successful poultry men
will tell you, are codueive to cleanliness and comfort
in the chicken yard and hence profit-makng factors

In the winter time in northern eli
mates it is important TO keep the air
of the home fresh and sweet. You
know how quickly flowers will droop
and die unless they have fresh, cool
mir. OF course, if it is too cold they
freeze, as your family would. 1t is
important to exercise common sense in
such matters.
cannot resist saying that man uses
common sense in almost everything ex-
cept the care Of his health. 1t would
seem the natural thing to look after
the body, to give it the same attention
that plants, the automobile and the
golf clubs have. But the body does
not get onc-half the attention that
most material possessions receive.
Endless experiments have been made
in an attempt to find out what degree
of temperature is best for health. As
in almost everything else. science has
forced us TO revise a lot Of our old
ideas.
1t is believed now that what We
usually describe as overheating does
not decrease the power to work. The
ability to do hard work is present,
but the inclination TO do it is not
there.
The result is the same. II takes n
lot OF character for a man to work
. when be doesn't feel like it. 1t re-
quires the stimulation cool air gives
the skin to whip the unwilling spirit
into an eagerness to work.
On this account the living and work
ing rooms should be kept fairly cool.
Most writers mention 6S degrees as
the proper temperature. That is too
low to suit me. For my comfort and
happiness 20 or ~ degrees is about
right.
Not only is temperature important,
but the moisture or humidity Of the air

We would have a civilization with

We would have a civilization with.

We might still be believing that We
could catch the sun as it sank over
the hills at night. For only by the en-
ployment of intricate mathematical
calculations has scientific astronomy
been made possible.
We might still think that disease
is caused by devils. For the discovery
of bacteria depended upon the produc-
ton Of the accurately calculated mi
croscope.
To ask what sort Of a civilization
this would be if the knowledge that
two and two make four had never
been understood is like asking what
kind of orange you would have If the
orange was without skin or pulp or
seeds or juice.

.Life's Hurdles
BY L. E. Bisch

Opposites seem to be closely placed
in the mind.
Ideas that have two contrary and
opposing feeling-tones are numerous.
We could not conceive of a noun
tain IL we did not also understand
the conception Of a valley.
Nor could we picture a valley with
out knowing what a mountain is.
This same intimate relationship be-
tween opposites exists in multitude
nous reactions Of the mind.
High suggests low; tall, short; thick,
thin; happy, sad; beautiful, ugly !;
white, black; and so forth to innum-
cradle examples.
Try to take a list Of words and
to write the next word that comes to
mind.
You will think Of the opposite word
more frequently than any other word
association.
Psychology speaks Of this tendency
to opposites as "ambivalence.'
Ambivalencc gives to a word or an
idea both a positive and a negative
quality.
1t is by this same principle that
people can hate the most those whom
they have loved the best, because love
and hate are ambivalent.
This principle also explains many
Of the strange thoughts that people
find themselves harboring--ideas and
feelings that shame them.
For example, mothers may find
themselves disliking their own chill
dren intensely because, apparently, for
some slight misdeed.
But such mothers need not worry.
The intense love they bear the chill
dren prompts the intense dislike. 1t
is merely the principle Of ambivalence
that is operating.
We often feel a tendency TO act
in a way opposite to what is expected.
Adults do that as well as children.
If we know that someone expects
us to be thankful and pleased over n
gift, let us say, we may be tempted
to turn face about and appear very
dispirted, sullen and annoyed. This,
TOO, is ambivalence.
Always suspect ambivalence in cx-
nggerated behavior or speech.
People often make strong statements
because they feel weak.
Ambivalence may manifest itself in
numerous ways.
It is interesting to watch for IL;
In fact. to observe this or any other
psychological principle operating in
other people.

generosity or friendliness, and we feel
so happy afterwards, perhaps even
happier than the one to whom we have
been kind.
Here is a little act ] often do-and
recommend IL to anyone. 1t is not n
sacrifice; is such a tiny thing; yet It
can be such a blessing to another: /
often pick up in my motor one toiling
along the road and put him or her
down at the place where they would
have arrived exhausted after a weary
way.
What did it cost me? Nothing.
Only the thought and a tiny stop on
the way.
The other day 1 thus picked gp
weary old mother with bent back, car
rying her heavy baskets to the far-off
town market. / invited her into my
motor and whisked her off, depositing
her in no time, baskets and all, Mt
her destination. The affectionate look
she gave me out of bleared. tired eyes,

kindness a day See how well you

Minnesota State Fair Will

No Other Fair or Exposition in World
Will Pay As Much-Dates Sep
TENDER 4 to IL

The Minnesota State Fair and
Northwest Dairy Exposition, Septem-
Der to IL, is offering $145, $3.50
in premiums for educational exhibits,
which is considerably more than the
total prizes presented by any other
state fair or exposition in the world
this year.
Since agriculture and livestock
raising are our two greatest North
west industries, the premiums for
agriculture, horticulture.
and allied exhibits, are unusually
large. Cattle are given 8,786.00;
agriculture, $20,533.00; horses, $780,
$1,000; horticulture, $7,756.00;
swine, $8,170.00; sheep, goats and
wool, $5,052.00; and poultry, 49,
No other fair in America has given
such encouragement to boys and
girls work, and the premiums for this
purpose amount to $2O,O11.5O this
year. More than 1000 boys and girls
will attend the fair to demonstrate
club work projects at the fairs ex-
pense. The dairy, speed, bee culture,
fine arts and woman's departments
are given the balance Of prizes.
It is the plan of the State Fair this
season to encourage the largest entry
of Minnesota products of all kinds
ever seen at the fair. The COMPETE
ton of exhibitors from other states
has always been keener in the live
stock department than any other, and
the fair is making special effort to
interest Minnesota breeders in send
ing their best animals to the coming
show that the lions share of pre-
NUNS may not be won by outside
entrants.
The liberal prizes offered for all
kinds of exhibits insure such splen-
did displays and large attendance that
exhibitors from all parts of the
country are entering this year, and
record-breaking shows are assured.
