HATCHERY HAS
TWO GIANT INCUBATORS

The Hastings Hatchery at Parsons
burg, Md, has just installed two more
of the giant $4,000 egg incubators in
an effort to keep up with the demand
for their chicks. These machines are
of the latest design and are the last
word in modern incubation. The Has
tings Hatchery was the first hatchery
on the Delmarva Peninsula to install
this type of incubator and this new
equipment brings their capacity up to
$4,000 eggs, which is more than
double their capacity of two years
ago. This hatchery is now one of the
largest and the most modern in the
East.
Poultry raisers are urged to pay a
visit to this modern plant located at
Parsonsburg on the Ocean City Road,
just seven miles from Salisbury and
three miles from Pittsville. Visitors
are always welcome and no advance
notice or appointment is necessary.

remarks were listened to with rapt
attention and pleasure. His opening
remarks showed how the war in
Europe differed from the World War
in respect to the lineup of the war
ring nations. He reviewed the
strength of the fighting forces and
noted the preponderance in favor Of
Germany so far as air power is con-
cerned, but, at the same time, stress
ed the fact that the Allies were add
ing, daily, to the planes by manufac-
ture from the United States and Can
ada.
He drew a rather somber picture of
the conditions following cessation of
hostilities, no matter which side won,
due to the unemployment situation
that would arise as the result of clos
ing down of munition factories.
He would venture no prediction as
to the outcome of the war. He did
say, however, that, at present, affairs
favored Germany, but if the contest
was prolonged, the Allies might be
victorious.
In passing, he touched upon the
Chino-Japanese conflict and passed
out the information that Japan was
practically bankrupt, but kept on
fighting. Her "yen" had fallen to
almost zero in the international
money market, and her ability to bor-
row was in similar condition.
With regard to the eventuality of
the United States having to enter
the war, Mr.. Tydings would make no
prediction, but considered it healthy
policy to see to it that we shall be
prepared to- defend ourselves.
His whole address was full of val
liable information and all pronounced
it an able effort from Maryland's
Senior Senator.

You know, there's going to be Il nice
little picnic at that State Convention,
and there will so much politics RAM
med into that stove-pipe hat, that I'll
defy any magician to pull anything
out except a political candidate-no
room for rabbits, boxes of candy, rub
Der balls, or other contraptions. The
fight for delegates in the counties will
be like a game of tennis compared
with the European War. Wires will
have to be of extra size to stand the
pullin' and haulin' they'll get.
Well, there's just one thing about
it, this is a good year to realize on
the great privilege an American citi-
zen has in casting a vote. I had a
man, the other day, to side up to me
and in mysterious voice, asked what
I thought votes would bring this
Spring and Fall. He talked about it
just as if he had calves, chickens,
shoats, greens, eggs, old clothes, or
real estate to dispose of. told him
1 hadn't consulted the market as yet,
and 1 didn't know as l would, as the
only thing I had to sell was a pair of
old shoes, and I thought I might ex-
tend the use of them over and beyond
May day or the fatal Tuesday in No

Joining a Club?

It's club meeting time again. That
may mean you're considering join
ing another club. If 1t does, there
are some things you ought to con-
slider. It's only common sense to
check up on things like these:
What is the purpose OF the club?
Does that purpose suit your ideas,
plans and present way of living? Are
the members likely to be congenia
according to your notions? What is
the status of the club in the commu-
nifty? Does it tie up definitely with
your interests?
If you don't carefully 60 into such
queries, you may have headaches
and hard feelings later.
Also. you must know how much
work there is to being club MEM
ber. Do you have the extra time
to spare and can you rearrange
your schedule to allow for club &C
tivities? An inactive member gets
little for herself from the club and
gives it little.
You don't want to get the reputa-
ton of one who joins clubs just for
the sake Of adding her name to an
other roll.
You need to know how much
money is involved in club member
ship. Your budget deserves that
much consideration.
If you decide the club is what you
want to add to your life this winter,
then 60 ahead. Plan to be on time
at meetings and to attend them
regularly. Pay your dues promptly
and cooperate with other members
in work and finance for special prof.
ects.

try and there's a club to At your
