INTEREST SHOWN IN THE
CONDITION OF CEMETERY
Suggestion of a Correspondent,
If Followed, Will Be Valuable

A few weeks ago The Republican
printed communication relative to
the existing condition of the Oakland
cemetery and as a resule several COM
munications were received by the ed
itor suggesting various means for
overcoming the distasteful and I'M
slightly 1--WE may say disgracefuD
state presented to the visitor in many
sections of the burying ground.
One suggestion offered was that an
association of lot owners be formed,
assessments made and the funds thus
collected be used in defraying the iex-
penses necessary in keeping the GEM
etery in at least presentable condi-
ton. With this association as 60
ing concern individual effort on the
part of lot owners would not be nee
essary aside from the payment into
the treasury of an amount each year
for the upkeep of their holding the
work to be done by caretaker and
thus all lots would receive the same
consideration. Other plans were adj
vanced but in some instances these
seemed to be too wide in scope for
the amount Of money possible toy be
raised through the formation of the
proposed association.
The Republican has message fl rom
former resident of Oakland Calvin
Grim now successful business man
of Cincinnati in which Mr.. Grim offers
stipulated sum for stated number
of years for the upkeep of the cerne
terry.
Saturday last The Republican re-
ceived the following communication
from an Oakland resident on the sub
ject:
To the Editor of The Republican.
Dear Sir:-The Oakland cemeteries
are nicely located and with very lit
tie work and attention could be made
a pleasant place for those who desire
to do so to resort for quiet half an
hours meditation. =
Some of the lots are nicely kept and
cared for but others are neglected and
allowed to grow up in grass andweeds
thus marring the beauty of the last
resting place of the departed dear
ones. One half hour each month of
the summer season with lawn now
err, would keep your lot in fine condi-
ton.

Frogs Prefer Triangles

That frogs can distinguish between
squares and triangles was shown in re-
cent tests made by S. Biedermann, an
European scientist. He set before the
jumpers square and triangle blocks in
pairs. One of the blocks had an in
sect attached to it. After the triangu.
lar block had appeared accompanied
by food several times, the frogs would
hop expectantly to triangular blocks.
Tests with several species of frogs
confirmed their ability to distinguish
between different shaped blocks.
Biedermann says that little frogs are
the "brainiest."

Fowl Houses

July, August and September are
usually the best months for the build
ing of poultry houses.
All too often, the matter of hous-
ing the pullets for the winter is left
until everything else has been provid-
| ed for, and then any kind of an old
shack will be hastily thrown together,
and often in a location not specially
chosen for the house, but used be-
cause it was left after everything else
was taken care of.
When you are about to erect poul-
try house, select the best piece of
ground possible, on well drained
location with a gentle slope to the
south. After the location for the
house has been determined, construct
house not only for the comfort of
the chickens, but for their health as
well. The good that can be obtained
from handling poultry in a house best
suited to their needs is equally as
important as the cost of the house,
and perhaps more so.
Housing conditions arefundamental
to successful poultry production. The
relation of housing conditions to eff
fcient utilization of feed, sanitation
for the prevention of disease, and
good fall and winter egg production,
can hardly be over-estimated.
Many poultry troubles, such as
disease, parasites, low production,
etc, are often aggravated by housing
conditions, which do not provide suf-
fcient ventilation, sunlight, protec-
ton from weather and wind, or facili-
ties for ease in cleaning and manage
ment to insure clean and healthful
environment for the birds.
Poultry raisers too often overcrowd
birds in houses which may be poorly
constructed from the standpoint of
principles of poultry housing.
The average layman in building a
poultry house is apt to make as many
mistakes in it's design and construc-
ton as he would in designing and
constructing any other building, the
principles of which he was equally
unfamiliar with. Much money and
labor is misspent each year in the
construction of poultry houses, which
if more wisely directed would aid
greatly in solving problems of disease,
parasites, and low production.
Plans and specifications for the
Maryland type poultry house are
yours for the asking This house is
the result of many years of study
and experimentation at the Maryland
Agriculture Experiment station,
If you can afford to lose money in
the poultry business, you can afford
to do your own experimenting. Don't
experiment in building a poultry
house unless you are sport enough to
stand the loss that might be involved.
Your County Agent and poultry
specialist can give you some helpful
service in constructing Maryland
type poultry house. For further in
formation and help on poultry house
construction, call on your County
Agent.
Don't wait until fall to build OF
remodel that poultry house. That
means last minute job and, usually
poor one.

Everywhere in the country you see

there so much grumbling? We believe
that grumbling one moment and be-

the most outstanding American habit.

TENP|N TITLE TILT
HAS 1900 ENTRIES
Maple Smashers of U. S. and
Canada Shoot for Prizes
TotaIing $107,77O.
BY PAUL r.. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Editor,

CHICAGO, March 2.-The greatest
extravaganza III bowlings lore, the
twenty-ninth annual American Bowling

structed alleys at Dexter Pavilion to-
night.

Canada, were entered in the tourna-
ment, which was baited with prize
money totaling $l07,770, the largest pot
Of gold ever offered bowler or boWlerS
Every detail connected with the
tournament was a record smasher. In
the five-man event 1888 teams were
entered. Two-man teams totaled 4,9l6
and with the pin smaShers doubling up
Cor the doubles and all-events, the
entry was easily around 10000 With
competition running until April 9, all
attendance marks seemed certain to be
shattered.
. Nothing of disturbing nature to the
fancy all-time marks is anticipated
during the first five days, however, as
competition will be from Chicago
booster teams. Rolling in three squads
the Chicago Rotary Club pinsters will
take the floor tonight for the bloW-ofT.
When the regulars compete the
cannon balls and naples will crash con-
tinuously from am. to past midnight.

for the fact that they always keep

We'll, what are you going to do about

DO Nothing-as Usual.
What am going to do about it--just
nothing at all" admitted the Old
Timer, though I might persuade Lon
ME to keep a set of the old pins just
for my individual use. I guess, how
ever I'll merely use my regular stuff
and a prayer"
You'll need the prayer, all right,
agreed the Kid. But that reminds me
of pretty fast one they put over at
the office today A man named Mike
O'Lary, down and out and in a home
for the aged, addressed a letter to the
Almighty asking for $25. OF course the
message reached the Dead Letter Office.

any more-happened to show it to a
man who took it down toilets call it
Rochambeau Lodge-to show to the
boys. After having lot of fun over
it, some one suggested that they take up

and they wrapped up SIS and put it in
