Creston, Ia.,-Sidney Lyon, a few miles out on Route 4, decided to han dle a different breed of chickens, some four years ago. In making the change he decided to buy purebreds and to get the best stock. He bought eggs and hatched his flock for the coming year. He was delighted with the laying of the fowls. Neighbors heard about the eggs Mrs. Lyon was getting. The demand for the Lyon stock grew. It increased at a ratio surprising to him. The next year he decided his poul try was worth advertising. Advertise ment brought such a flood of inquiries and orders Mrs. Lyon couldn't attend to all the work in connection with the flock. Lyon was compelled to give part of his time. He was a farmer, not a poultryman. That was is 1919. Farm prices were high, times were good. But the prices the poultry busi ness was bringing were such that he couldn't neglect the chickens. So., while his quarter section farming .op erations were insistent, he obtained help and prepared to give more time to the chickens. As he was giving up part of his time the advertising con tinued. Chickens Kept Him Busy. That was the end of Lyon's field work. The next two years and again this year he has been unable to give the fields attention. Sidney Lyon, farmer, has become a chicken farmer because the chicken business would not be denied. Not that Lyon has quit farming. He's still on the farm. He raises much of the feeds his chickens eat. He raises corn, oats and other grain, like other Iowa farmers, milks a few cows, feeds from 90 to 100 hogs a year, topping the St. Joseph market twice in the last two years. But the chickens keep him busy. All because in buying a new farm flock, he bought the best purebred stock he knew of, out of a flock with high lay ing records behind it. Mrs. Lyon looks after the corres pondence and that keeps her busy. Yet only four years ago she believed she could do the work, care for the children (there are three) to do the housework and take care of the chickens. Paying Business a Surprise. "It surprised us,"- Lyon explained, and Mrs. Lyon's smile indicated she mijht have expected the 'surprise' that had puzzled her husband. It was she who first desired the single comb White Leghrons that made up the new flock. This year the incubator capacity was increased to 1,600 eggs. There are two large poultry houses beside the smaller ones in the pens. The big gest month, financially, was April, in which the business amounted to $500. That counts only the business on which deliveries were made. The biggest order received was for GOO eggs. No Dull Season on Farm. There isn't any dull season on this Iowa farm. When selling eggs for i hatching slows down there is the baby chick business. Then there are a lot of sales of pullets at S weeks. When th?; hatching season and chick season are out of the way there is the New York buyer who takes the eggs at good prices. And meanwhile there are the normal operations of a 160-acre farm. The grain is sold through the hogs. Four cows are milked. About half the farm is in grain, the other half in pasture. The result that followed getting good stock when he bought chickens wasn't lost on Lyon. He needed a man for farm work this spring. He got what he believed the best man ob tainable paying him SIS above the average wage for that work. Lyons plans to get more cows. Besides the cream, milk is valuable in the chicken business. He's going to buy "good stock" again when he increases the size of his herd. They'll be purebreds -good ones. So the chicken business, which be gan in changing the flock to suit what seemed to be a wife's whim, has grown until it reaches into fourteen states, customers living as far east as Massachusetts, west to Idaho and south well into Texas, and the usual farm operations are kept up.

McMurrain's old stand near depot The Soldiers' Bonus Bill. The Chronicle has been asked to explain the provisions of the pending soldier bonus bill. We are using a statement made by the Washington correspondent of the New York Times. The bill ordered Wednesday by the senate committee t- be reported is entitled "The World War Adjusted Compensation Act." Under it a veteran of that war is any? individual who was a member of the American military or naval forces at any time after April 5, 1917, and be fore Nov. 12, 1918, but it does not in clude any man who was dishonorably discharged from the service, con scientious objectors who performed no military duties and persons dis charged from the service because they were aliens. The compensation is to be comput ed on a basis of SI a day for home service and $1.25 for overseas ser vice when that service exceeded in duration sixty days. The maximum payment to men who remained in the United States is $500 and those who served overseas $625. Veterans whose compensation is $50 or less will re ceive cash in full settlement of all claims. Those whose compensation exceeds $50 have the right to avail themselves of one of the following plans: . 1. Adjusted service certificate upon which they will be authorized to bor row from any national bank, bank or trust company 50 per cent of the face value of each certificate, such loan to mature on or before December 31, 1925, the interest on the loan not to exceed 2 per cent. 2. Vocational training aid. 3. Farm or home aid. 4. Land settlement aid. The controlling provision of the bill is the plan of the adjusted service certificate which, in the event that its face value is not obtained through loans, matures in twenty years from the date it is issued. In the event of the death of the holder, the govern ment will pay the sum to his heirs. If a veteran who borrows money upon his certificate does not meet his note within six months after its maturity, the bank holding the note and certifi cate will present them to the Secre tary of the Treasury who will cancel the note and pay to the bank the amount cf the unpaid principle and unpaid accrued interest. This provis ion applies only to loans maturing prior to January 15, 1926. After January, 1926, the Post master General is authorized and di rected to instruct Postmasters of the first, second and third classes to take applications for government loans and to collect the payments on them at maturity. The loans secured by the certificates will be paid by the Secretary of the Treasury, who is di rected to send a check for the amount involved to the holder of a certificate. The veteran will make repayment upon an amortization plan by means of a fixed number of annual instal ments sufficient to cover, first, inter est on the unpaid principal at the rate of 4^2 per cent, and, second, such amount of the principal as will ex tinguish the debt within an agreed period, not exceeding the life of the certificate. When a veteran fails to make a payment when due, the Secretary of the Treasury will cancel the note and restore the certificate to the veteran upon receipt of the total amount due thereon, principal and interest, to gether with interest at 4% per cent annually on all payments that were in arrears. If the loan is made three years af ter and before six years after the date of the certificate, the amount obtainable is 85 per cent of the sum due the veteran, plus the interest from the date of the certificate to the date of the loan at the rate of 4 Vs per cent. On the other hand, if the loan is made after six years from the date of the certificate, the loan may be 70 per cent of the sum of the ad justed service credit, increased by 25 per cent, a year, plus 4% per cent interest, compounded annually. No certificate issued under the provisions of the bill is to be nego tiable or assignable as security for a loan except under the conditions laid down. Any negotiation, assignment, or loan made in violation of the law will be held void. This provision is intended to prevent the trcrsfer of the certificates to money lenders and speculators in government securities. The other options included in the b ill, such as vocational training and land settlement aid, are practically the same as provided for in the other bonus measures which have been be fore Cngress in the last three years. -Augusta Chronicle. Dairy Cows Pay Debts. Two years ago, when John Adair, a young Hughes county farmer, de cided to convert his cotton farm into a dairy farm, he started with five reg istered cows and two grade cows and a debt of $3,300. Today, according to figures obtained by T. A. Vander poel, farm demonstration agent, he has thirty-seven head of cattle, eight een of them milk cows and his debt has been reduced to $650. In the meantime, he has been feeding and clothing a family of nine. Adair's re?eipts from the sale of whole milk, cream and butter are $280 a month, Vanderpool says. Af ter the monthly payment is made on his debt, he is putting $50 a month into a savings fund. Adair's farming experience began as a member of Vanderpool's junior agricultural club.-Oklahoma Farm News Service. i _ Candidates' Assessments in Richland County.

Death of Mr. W. R. E. Winn. On May 30th, 1922 our community was shocked and grieved to have re moved from our midst one of our neighbors, Mr. W. R. E. Winn. Mr. Winn was born March 19, 1877 in Edgefield county and here in this county he resided all of his life. Death is a sad visitor, even when it comes and carries away those whose years have been many, and upon whom time hangs heavily. How ever, it is so much sadder when a per son is snatched away so suddenly, and just in the prime of life. But in His Infinite Wisdom, God does all things for the best. Th?' body was laid to rest Wednes day a. m. in the Rehoboth cemetery beneath a mound of beautiful flow ers. Mr. Winn is survived by his wid ow, who was Miss Susie Culbreath be fore her marriage, and seven chil dren. "The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of Heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for The fair sweet morn awakes; Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But day-spr'ng is at hand, And dor?, :;-.ory dwelleth In tba, fair, fair land." LUCILLE CULBREATH. Alcohol and Narcotics. Prohibition has not caused an in crease in the use of narcotics; in fact in the opinion of" Colonel/Will Gray Beach, United States narcotic agent in charge of the Chicago division, which includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, narcotics are not being more widely used. "I am aware that an effort is be ing made to show that prohibition has caused people deprived of alcohol to turn to narcotic drugs," said Col onel Beach, according to the Chris tian Science Monitor of May 8. "Such an argument is, however, utterly without foundation. I have been in this work, from the beginning and if any such effect had been produced I would have been the first to know of it. The records of this office show nothing of the sort. "The- use of narcotics is not on the increase. There is a great deal of this evil to be fought and we are fighting it all the time, but we have not had more to do because of the prohibition amendment. I could not say that any effect on the drug sit uation has been caused by it in any way. "In-the first place it is not in the nature of things that the alcohol ad dict should turn to drugs. It is con trary to the experience of this office. The physical effects desired by the two types of addicts are entirely op posite. No one familiar with this kind of work could be misled by any such argument." Colonel Beach is inclined to think that the belief that the use of nar cotics is on the increase is fostered by the publicity the newspapers give every kind of rumor of the sort, but that this kind of newspaper advertis ing does a great deal of good, as it keeps the public awake. "But as for prohibition having caused an increase in drug addic tion," he said, "this office doesn't talk much for publication-we don't give interviews, but I can state my opin ion and observation the same as any body else, and you may say it from me-absolutely no!" Its alluring fragrance TT A VT tempts a trial V XX J3I Will Revive Red Cross Work. ?As a result of a conference held iast week between. Miss Susie G. Dawson, Field Representative of the American Red Cross and a number of the leading lady club workers of Edgefield it is planned to revive Red Cross work in Edgefield county. It is recalled that immediately af ter the war the Red Cross chapter here, which did splendid work during the war was practically disbanded, all of the officers resigning with the exception of the secretary Miss Mary DeVore Butler and Mr. James 0. Sheppard, who assumed the chair manship after the war. It is believed that the Red Cross work is too im portant to give up, especially in view of the hard times through which we are now passing which brings to light many local needs. The plan for reviving the work is to have an executive committee com posed of one member from each of the organizations of the town. This will include all of the women's clubs, the fraternal lodges, the Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion, church societies, etc., The ministers will be asked to represent their re spective churches. This Executive Committee will form a nucleus from which the chapter officers will be se lected. Each of the ladies present at the meeting last week selected a number of organizations to see with the view of interesting them in the plan. Each orzanigation will be asked to appoint a permanent representative who will serve on the Executive Committee. A meeting of this committee will be held on- Friday night, June 23rd,* at 8:30 P. M., at the Dixie Highway Ho tel, at which time Miss Dawson will return to Edgefield to explain Red Cross matters to the committee. It is planned also to reorganize the Junior Red Cross to work in co-oper ation with the organization of grown people. The Junior U. D. C's are very much interested in the Junior organ ization. With a re-organized Red Cross it is hoped that duplication of relief work will be done away with. It is planned to establish a garment clos et for the distribution of clothing to needy people and a loan closet to pro vide supplies to those who are unable to purchase such things. Ultimately it is hoped that a rest room can be provided for the comfort and conve nience of ladies who come to town for shopping purposes. We have little money now but a concerted effort on the part of all the organizations of the town can accom plish a great deal for the needy of this community and county, and we will be able to secure financial assis tance from the National Red Cross if we have a good local organization. Terefore I wish to urge that the rep resentatives from each organization of the town to attend the meeting to be held on Friday night, June 23, at 8:30 P. M. and let us support this great work.
