Woo explains in a practical manner the op portunities of profitable poultry pro duetlo^ Ir the South and the articl (poted below should* prove informin' and helpful te tlu members of the new organization and farm folk ii general, "No section of the United States taking all conditions into consider ation, offers better opportunities for profitable poultry production that nr own Southern States. And yet millions of dollars worth of poultry and eggs are shipped into our South ern states annually front sections less 1 adapted-to poultry culture than our our own states. It is unbelievable and yet true that.there are thousands of farms in our section that do not have a chicken on them. The average num ber of birds per farm is considerably lets than BO. Our Southern States have compara tively mild winters that make good winter egg production possible. Win ter egga are the profitable eggs. Because of our mild winters, the laying houses, brooder houses, and ether buildings can be constructed more economically and hence with smallest possible investment. We are blessed with a long hatching and brooding season which allows maximum production with the use of a minimum amount of equipment. Birds can h>:ve green grazing most of the year and thereby keep, the feed Cost at a minimum. We live in the best fryer and broil er market in the world where fryevs can be marketed any month in the year. Our hens start laying each winter two months earlier than do those in the heavier producing: centers. They ■re also through laying and ready for market two monthg earlier. In fact, fgl?s. fryers, cull hens and all of our marketable products bring top prices because they are a little ahead of the shipments from other sections of the Country, New York ur Florida tow of, the bes* poultry nd egg markets in the world, We in easy shipping distance from any point in our section. Every farm should have not less than 50 purebred chickens. A flock of 100 will not require any more labor w'^ be a mor® economical unit than 50. A good poultry flock is as much a component part of the farm I a* the mules family cow, or hogs, and ‘should be so considered. The first duty of the flock should be to furnish eggs and poultry meat for home consump tion .Enough extra birds should be kept to pay all expenses of feed and labor and make a profit besides. Chickens consume a great amount grain that would .otherwise be wast ed. They also consume enormous num her* of weed seeds and insert# that would otherwise be detrimental To crops. Table scraps and surplus gar den crops can be turned jnto profit able meat or eggs. Poultry will show more profit from skimmed milk or buttermilk than will any other farm animal. Poultry can be cared for at times when no other farm work is being done .and the necessary attention rat be given by members of the familj that cannot or should not do heaviji work. Poultry and eggs are casl. crops that can he sold unywhere a" any time an.I w.'ll bring in rash every month in the year. A good farm flock should pay all grocery bills. The South is fast developing ini. a poultry producing section and wil. in a few years be one of thy biggest producing centers. Every farmer should have a profitable purebred farm flock to help supply the future demand. Now is the time to start. Be gin with a small flock and increase gradually as returns warrant.” 'I'llK SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. Thf spirit of Christines is the ’.pfrit of remembering our friends. We send srift jUst as the wise mer\ of the Fast took their frankincense and murr to the Christ child who war born at Bethlehem in a manger ovei nineteen hundred years ago. The giv ng spirit has come down the ages tnd as years have' rolled by, it h» frown as the |>eople have prospered intil today the mails are loaded for t week in advance with millions of oaekages going to and fro. Tfie giv ng habit it a pood habit for the 'Jood Book truly says, “it is more blestsed to Rive than receive.” This treat doctrine has made America the 1 g brother of suffering humanity in he less fortunate nations of the verld. Whether at Christmas time or nid-summer, America has never turn 'd a deaf ear to the the cry of bun fry children and the wail or suffering nen and women of any race or creed There is lots of giving to those vho really dc not need help, but it jhould continue just the same, be 'ause the giver is helped by the act. It makes the givfer more charitable and more generous to all worthy •alls and is in keeping with the right Christmas spirit Just as the Christ dtild came to bring peace, we hould at th;s season remember first ■■p,take offerings to the poor and less ortunate ns a token of our brother hood to man and our kinship to Him who brought tins greatent gift man kind has ever had.

MAN was walking: in swift, angry strides down the snowy street. He wjas think ing about a big business deal that had Just fallen through, and blaming his partner for it. Indeed, he had only a minute ago parted from his partner with scornful words. And the part ner, who was a younger man, had said nothing. He, too, had felt that the blame was all his, nnd he was ashamed nnd grieved. Hut harder than hav ing lost the (mslness for the firm, thut yonng man found it to have hist the good will and respect of his senior partner, whom he- admired, even re vered. The angry man was suddenly called from Ids unpleasant thoughts bj a lit tle newsboy thrusting a paper under his nose. "All about the murder, the big Riverside murder!” he Intoned through his little nose. “Paper, sir?” "The angry man shoved the boy away. “(let out of my path,” lie growled, absent-mindedly. Hut the newsboy was hot taken aback. He grinned tip if to the cloud ed face and drawled: “Aw, sir, let yourself have a Happy New Year.” The man walked another block be fore the words reached his conscious ness, so absorbed had he been In his anger. Hut then they came clear nnd calm—“Let yourself have a Happy New Year.” > How foolish would be the man who wouldn’t let himself have a Happy New Year! Had business that of turning happiness away from you. Nobody, nothing could give you a Happy New Year, of course, unless you let yourself have It. Funny thought. Hut stop. Wasn't that exactly what he was doing now, not letting himself have a Happy New Year? Had busi ness that; worse than that bad busi ness his young partner bad Just fallen Into. Suddenly he stopped, whirled about and retraced his steps. "I'm not go ing to cut myself out of a Happy New Year Just to indulge myself In a little poisonous anger,” he cried to himself. "I'll Just hurry back to the office anil Invite that young man to lunch with me. We've always been good pals till now." And he did hurry to catch his part ner hefore he, too, left the office. Hut he did not hurry so much that he could not stop at the corner and huy the few remaining papers from the Inso lent little newsboy there, though It goes without saying he hadn't time to stop for the change. tA Rollinq Stone ■iimwtmw ®v J CQ Hazard 19JS, Western Newspaper Union.) OUNO SKIPJACK makes me think of the water beetle* that we need to watch as they skated aimlessly about on the waters of the pond, leaving no track behind them. He has been In business all over the place, but has prospered In nothing. He takes advice, but ha never uses It. Else I would give him some New Year recipes for prosperity. I would tell him that one thing well stuck to Is worth a dozen experiment' ed with; that the scale of our present life will matter little a few yean hence, but that the character of It will matter much; that the neglectful stew ard will find that he was In business for himself; that to be good for noth ing Is to be bad for a great deal.

Also with this lower price you get an even more attractive Coach body and a six cylinder motor built on the principle of the famous Hudson Super-Six. It continues Essex qualities of economy and reliability known to 135,000 owners. It adds a smoothness of per formance which heretofore was exclusively Hudson's. Both cars are alike in all details that count far Ion ' satisfactory service at small operating cost. \ ou will like the new Essex in the nimble case c f its operation. Gears shift ipiietly. Steering is like guiding a bicycle, anil care of the car calls for little more than keeping it lubricated. That, for the most part, is done with an oil can. The chassis design lowers the center of gravity, giving greater comfort and safety, at all .speeds, on all roads! You will be interested in seeing how this is accomplished! Greater fuel economy is obtained. The car is lighter, lunger and roomier, \ ou wnl agree that from the standpoint of appearance, delightful performance, cost and reliability, the new Essex provides ideal transportation. ^Hie Coach s975 Touring Model-$850 Freight and Tax Extra f f A 30 Minute Ride Will Win You THIS CAR IS NOW ON DISPLAY HOEY MOTOR COMPANY Shelby, N.
