s i - ESTABLISHED I87i LINCOLNTOX, N. C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 1, 102O. FIVE CENTS. PER C0PI-$2 ptr year SPECIAL COMMUNITY CLUB MEETINGS . Mr. A, G. Oliver, the State Poultry Specialist was in the coui.ty last -week working witn tne. f arm ana Home Demonstration Agents, in the interest of better poultry on the farm. The following Community Clubs held special meetings: Gainsville, Pleasant Home.Oak Grove and Salem. Also a number of schools and homes were visited. These meetings were well attended and much interest was shown. Mr. Oliver presented the work from a practical standpoint, and at the close of his talk, entered into a round table discussion. He emphasized these facts, More money in Pure Bred Poultry Than Scrub Poultry: Because more money in Pure Bred Poultry Than scrub poultry, because, They will gain more weight from the amount of food con sumed, therefore will bring a better price on the market The eggs com mand a higher price in the city mar kets. The importance of Hatching early, because, They will get their growth early, having the advantage of young, tender grass, bugs, and worms, and will stand hot weather better, will be fully matured by fall, and will lay eggs in the winter when the, highest price is obtained and they will be the early setters, for hens must lay a certain number of eggs '.before thev become brood v. t Ho stressed the importance of not selling the early hatched pullets, that is, those hatched prior to April 25th. Set the hen in a nest free from lice and mites and dust the hen with a good insecticide before setting, and three days before hatchimr. . Do not feed baby chicks until they are w nours old. They should have access to sharp sand and the first food should be a hard boiled egg crushed shell and all , mixed with well baked Johnny Cake crumbs, hom iny, grits, or rolled oats. When about ten days old feed them cracked corn, wheat screenings, or ground oats. Give them nlentv of sour milk, and clean drinking water. Young chicks should not be allowed to sleep on the cold damp ground, but should have brood coops with plant floors and with a roof that will turn water. ' He also took up the importance of leeaing tor egg production, stressing the necessity of feeding the hens the kind of food, out of which she can make an egg. Beef scraps, being ab solutely essential during the fall and winter months . There are twelve or fifteen govern ment bulletins dealing with the rais ing of poultry, and a set of these can be had upon application to the county Agents. Anyone interested in securing pure bred eggs, should communicate with Agents smarr or Winn. VAULE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS IN OUR DIET. The value of poultry products in the diet will be taken up by the Home Demonstration Agent in the uubs for girls and women. In this year's work we want poultry club member in every family and I believe when we learn the in structive value of these foods then we'll become even more interested. Eggs are a protein food, that is they belong to that class of foods that will build and repair the tissues of the bo dy and will give heat and energy. Thev contain the elements that go into the construction of muscle, bone and blood. They are more nearly interchangeable with milk in nutri tive value than any other" food nd are richer than milk in iron. They are more nearly interchangeable with milk in nutritive value than any oth er food, and are richer than milk in iron. They are more nutri tious ": - than ; meat, - because they contain more kind of proteim and more mineral matter. When tak- ing in account the factors of food val ue 1 dozen eggs is equal in the dietary to 2 lbs of meat No other food except flour has so many uses in cooking. Hence ' the necessity for greater production, stu dy of preparation, and the preserva tion of eggs for later use, wnen they nr nlpntif ill and the nrice is low in ; April, May and June, by the use of water glass.

IN MEMORIAM On. last Friday morning about 3 o'clock the ; death angel visited the home of Mr. Henry Huss and took away the mother and grandmother of that home.

She was before marriage Mary Elizabeth Bess, and was twice mar ried, first, to John Houser, who was killed during the war, to that unicn was born 2 children, one boy and one girl. She was next married to Henry Hues, and they were blessed with 8 cmiuren, o living ana & aeau. one leaves to mourn her lost an atred husband, 8 children, 46 grandchildren, ii great grandchildren. she was a good neighbor, a true mother, and a loving erandmother. She had been in feeble health for the last few years, being unable to get away from home, for the last years at all, but she was always glad to have anyone to come to see her, she always greeted them with a smile, and made each and every one welcome, large or small, rich or poor. She was always faithful to her church services as long as health permitted. In her young days she would i take her children and po to Sunday school, where she had her little class, but as the years -passed by and she became older, she cave ud her Sunday schnnl class, but she attended her church ser vices faithful until she became dis able to go at all, and then it was her request to have her pastor come and talk and pray with her, which it seem ed as if it was his pleasure to do, for he knew he was always welcome; But for the last week she was unconscious of the fact of him being to see her, she did not recognize any one at all, but lay in a helpless condition, looking as if the end would come at almost any hour, but she took it patiently until the last. All was done that could be done to keep her, but it was all in vain. There was a vacant place in Heaven where she was needed more then she was here; She had fought the battle here, she- had done all that she could do in this world, so let us not grieve, but let us look to him who knoweth best.

A place is vacant in that home, that never wiu De niieo, v But let us live and hope and Pray That we too might meet her some day.

In writing to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National Amer ican Woman : Suffrage . Association, Judre Charles . Hrghec says: iou say m your letter that it has been asserted by opponents of the amendment tnat in States where the constitution contains the word 'male,' in describing the persons en titled to sutfrage, the State constitu tion would have to be amended before women could vote, and also that the amendment in any event would only permit women to vote for Senators and members of the Hoi-se of Repre sentatives. "In my opinion both these state ments are erroneous. If the suffrage amendment is duly ratified so as to be come a part of the Federal constitu tion, l am of tho opinion that the amendment will Tie immediately self- execrting and will render invalid and therefore ineffective i.ny existing pro vision in any state constitution or statute establishing a suffrage- dis qualification solely upon the ground of sex. . - wnere a atnte - constitution or statute contains the word 'male' in de scribing suffrage qualifications the ef fect of the amendment, will be to strike out the word 'male' and leave the State constitution or statute to operate as though he word 'male' were no in it. Further, the amend ment, in my judgment will apply to all elections and not simply to the election of Senators and members of the House of Representatives" It is announced that an internation al Chamber of Commerce will be or ganized in Paris in June.
