KEEPING THE I FLOCK HEALTHY i (By J. A. Glazener) -y Careful thought and attention should be given the bi^ds as the cold, damp days of winter begin to make their approach. Have you given your birds a tonic to help get their system in prime condition for winter? If you have to say no to this question, don't wait any longer. Tht- following mixture is recom mended by Tom Barren, one of England's greatest poultrymen and also T. E. Quisenberry, one of America's foremost poultry author ities. This tonic is said to be ex. h ceptfonally good for the correction land prevention of roup, canker, chicken pox arid other diseases. It contains the following ingredients: ' Magnesium sulphate which acts on J the blood; gf round ginger stimu- . lates all organs, and sulphur is a general antiseptic. You can get this tonic mixed in the right pro portions at either Macfie or Davis Long drug stores. Give one table- ' spoonful in moist mash to twelve 1 birds each morning for three morn- 1 ings and discontinue for two weeks, 1 then repeat. Have you made a general clean- ' ing of the house and grounds? Un- ' sanitary quarters and filthy grounds 1 invite trouble. After making a 1 good cleaning of the house, spray it ' well using one-third kerosene and ? two-thirds oki motor oil that has 1 been drained from the crank case. - Then plate plenty of clean nesting 1 material in the nest and fresh straw ! ten inches deep on the floor. Try to * make your house as dry and free 1 from drafts as possible, yet see that - there is plenty of fresh air. - Houses to give best results should ' be not less than fourteen feet deep, s twenty is better. They should face L' the south so plenty of sunshine will enter the house through the three a or four fo'ot wire opening. The a other sides of the house should be s real tight as cracks, will cause birds 11 to take cold easily. '' Birds that are properly housed, K fed on a balanced ration along with sufficient green feeds and have ac cess to a liberal supply of minerals c will not take cold or have roup to b the extent that the neglected ones will have it. Just as soon as you a notice a sick bird by all means re- p move it from the flock and keep it jj in a separate place, where special BLANTYRE BREEZES (intended for l??t week) Mrs. Jane Rhodes o fCrab Creek is visiting her brother Mr. J.

FOR THANKSGIVING The Next Best Thing after?a good Thanksgiving dinner is a spin in A NEW FORD. If you do not have one? come in and get yours now from LOWE MOTOR CO. LINCOLN? -FORD-? FORDSON CARS? TRUCKS-TRACTORS BREVARD, N. C. I EAST FORK NEWS i We are sure We have a county ; paper now, we think 'just about the I best ever.' Last week it told about every tfting that had happened in ' the county for a few days except about Eck Sims getting two block ade stills in the same place. Yes, of course, he got them on East Fork? but we are thankful he did n't happen to get the men. So why can't we make another one? v We are just about up with . our home town and its recent dynamite spree. The difference ? ours was only a gun duel ? and while we think it was just a crowd of boys out to make a fuss and raise ex citement (which they failed to do), we are not prepared to give out a j statement to that effect. i We were glad to see our own old i pastor, Rev. J. C. Richardson, in his old place, filling his regular ap pointment at the M. E. church the first Sunday in November. Some , times we don't like the thought of ( seeing a new preacher in our pul j pit more often than every four years, and this hoppened to be one | of the times. Some of our farmers are still , trying to get their 1926 crop stored. 1 There is some complaints as to the Equality and quantity of Irish pota- ' i toes. Some say they have real nice | potatoes, while some think they have so few they aren't worth caring j for. Some of our boys are trapping, ? while others are amusing themselves coon hunting. Mrs. B. A. Gillespie says she set a hen on fourteen eggs and when ? they hatched there were sixteen chickens. We suppose it's so ? stil! ' we didn't count them. But no doubt ' there are plenty of hens that have beaten that. ' We enjoy Mr. M. J. Orr's pieces ' on "Now and Then," and we were greatly interested in Mr. Glazener's ' last weeks letter in which he spoke ? so well of the farmers. 1 ANOTHER LYCEUM NUMBER. 1 "Flapper Grandmother," an aina- 1 teur play, will be presented at the ' High School auditorium Tuesday evening, December 7, under the aus pices of the local Music Lovers' club.

Not so many years ago, the really big advertisers were p?/,?n|t imodi cines and baking powders. Today, financial advertising is featured be cause the public has more money to invest; wage-earners who in the old days barely existed, today have a surplus. Prosperity is general; then is at least a little money every where, and the public has the de sire to invest. The old cay of indi vidual ownership of every business is passing on. Men buy _nnd sell col lectively; they invest C'.'l^ltively, to get collective service that. no indi vidual capital could provide. They buy as corporations, where the very voluftie of the invesin?< : and its creed of universal servic- makes it more safe from radical T.'rvys of ev ery kind. The corporations of ;?> i:.y are <iur corporations; we, every-- .(y, finance their building and buy *:ieir prod ucts from ourselves as ? ers. Pub lic ownership is here . it'; ideal form.

The president of :h-: republic if Andorra in Euror.-. rr 'Ives alary of $2.1 a year Thanksgiving THREE hundred and six years ago a band of Pilgrims from the OM ? Country, "moored their bark on a wild New England shore." Nine weeks previous this brave band, one hundred in number, flee ing religious persecutions, had left Plymouth, England, in their little ship, the Mayflower, and started west across the broad, stormy ocean to the land of freedom. This was the coming of our "Pilgrim Fathers," and the place of their landing in Massachusetts was known as Plymouth Rock. Scarcely bad these brave pioneers become settled in their n?v colony when the terrible New England winter was upon them. The suffering which they endured is evidenced by the fact that before th<; following summer one-half of the party had died. Nothing daunted, those who were spared, happy in their new ?found freedom, stayed on, planted their crops, and prepared for the following winter. In 1621, the year following their landing, after a good harvest, th< Colonists determined on a peiiod of recreation combined with thanks giving for their many mercies. The Governor sent out four huntsmen, who in one day securei: enough game to supply the colony for nearly a week. This was the original American Thanksgiving. For two hundred years it continued to be an Eastern Holiday, taking place after every fall harvest. Today it is a national custom, the day ' being observer throughout the United States. In commemorating this birth of our nation let us remember that i; was founded and raised on the Bible; that religion came first and bus iness was a secondary consideration ; that the laws of men were basec upon the laws of God; and that the church was the first and most im portant organization of every community. The best that is in us we owe to these sober, uncompromising, God fearing New Englanders. And the farther we drift from their sterr teachings and tenets, the greater is our danger of shipwreck as a na tion and as individuals.
