Strawberry and vanilla ice cream were on sale Saturday as well as beef and hash. A number of frying size chickens have been prom! ised, come early and get yours. No * j orders have been reserved as they II have outgrown the supply. \ * ; I Poultry t This is one of the ?>est months of the year for chicks. Dust all hens and chicks with good insect powder. Pay particular attention to head lice that may be on baby chicks. Provide j , chick size charcoal and ground bone i or meat scraps in the mash hopper; r; feed when practical. Sour milk [ I should be fed constantly. It is a good L supplement for meat scraps. Clean i?summer quarters at once. Spray : house to kill vermm. Maite spring cleaning in poultry yard. i Preservation of Eggs During the spring months of the ] year the hens are in heavy egg proj duction. There is a large supp' / of j eggs pushed on the market which ' tends to bring the price down. Much ! of this supply finds sts way iiito the J cold storage plant where the eggs are 1 stored for winter Jf too peers I during this flush of production could be economically preserved for winter I use by the consumer a great saving i could be made on the egg and meat I bill. j Preserving of eggs at home in the spring and summer for fall and win- , ter use is not a new practice. The i practice of preserving eggs has j year we find more people putting 'wear we find more people putting.; ! eggs away in storage. The method j that has given probably the best re-', ! suits is the water glass method. The . | chemical name of water glass is so-:, i dium silicate. In any method of home!, i preservation the object is to surround ( the eggs with some material which ] will fill up the pores in the shell and Ikeep the normal liquids in the shell from evaporating. I H ? * Method of Using Water Glass. In this method use the following ; materials: stone or earthen ware ] ' crocks, a supply of sodium silicate or ] water glass and strictly fresh eg^s. j Each crock should have a cover. The j 1 crock should fce washed and steril- j i ized in boiling water, be sure that it ? is absolutely clean. . ! The preserving solution should be 1 'made by taknig ten parts of water j which has been boiled and cooled and, j! one part of sodium silicate, mix and|i I stir thoroughly, the eggs should be j carefully placed in the crock, small ji ends down, care being taken so as not f 1 to break or crack any of the shells. 1 Fill the jar up to about two inches of 1 the top with eggs and then pour in ] the water glass solution and fill the t ; crock to the top. The eggs will then t | be covered with two inches of this t i water glass solution. Place the cov-j^ er tightly on the crock and set the | i contents in a dark cool place. By j putting the cover tightly on evapor- i ation will be lowered to a minimum, 1 : examine ihe crock occasionally to 1 see if more solution is needed to l keep the eggs properly submerged, t This method will preserve eggs for a 1 ' period of nine months to a year. < , Canned eggs required a little differ- i ent treatment in cooking than do i fresh ones. Unless the large end is < punctured before hand they will < crack when boiled. They are entire- 1 ly satisfactory for scrambling, ome- > (lets, custards, cakes and other kinds j ! of cooking. ; J Only absolutely fresh eggs should ] be preserved, dirty eggs or eggs that 1 : have been washed should not be used, < | washed eggs will not keep because the ^ j protective coating has been removed j : by the washing, and dirty eggs will ' 1 becmoe tainted in flavor. Infertile ?' ; eggs are better than fertile eggs for, 1 I preserving. |1 > _ i < ?MM*? ! . ]. Community Market j The proceeds from the market on (Saturday were $146.23. Wednes! day's receipts were $44.00, making a 1 total of $190.23 for the week. The demand fo^ fowls is still ; greater than the supply. Folks, get busy! j: Some of these feHows who are try- . ing to secure Muscle Shoais seem to |have nothing but nerve. <$> <$> t '<$> ROTARY LUNCHEON <S> v j Q> <$> p j Tuesday the Rotary club was host ^ to the senior class of Newberry col- f lege and the lobby of the Newberry s hotel was all abustle about one-fifteen ! s whpn tfip seniors and Rctarians be-1 ?

Sixty-one had gathered when j the main dining room was thrown f open and the co-eds, each with a Rotarian on either arm, led the proces- ^ sion to the two long tables which had been spread and specially decorated ^ in scarlet and grey for the occasion. ^ Many gay floweri added to the charm of the dining room and with the pretty co-eds it was indeed an unusual c gathering and one not soon to be for- ^ got- f, After all were seated Zach Wright j appeared at the door with two other j y guests who, though invited, came as| a surprise to most of the diners, for| Miss Carolyn Cromer, daughter of; ^ the retiring president Ben Cromer,! r( and Mrs. E. H. Kibler, the wife of the I ^ incoming president, Hask Xibler. The j entrance of Zach with the two addi- j jr tional guests caused Hask Kibler to ]y 'most have to call Bob Mayes for first aid, but before the dinner was half,' over he had completely recovered, as n. the record will later show. j ^ Sixty-five plates had been set and i fhp four unused reDresented the base-' ? * CL -ball players who are members of the j Q] senior class who were unable to be present on account of the Furman: game that afternoon and upon motion of Ben Cromer the club express- ^ ed its regret that they were unable to j attend and extended to them an invitation to be the\ guest at the next ^ luncheon. j fi.nmni' mas nroc i r? i n<r n n rl Ji f JUCH V1UU1C1 n?c j/ivuniiLt, ?? ter grace by Earle Babb several songs ^ were sung and then the menu was the thing for the next twenty minutes. With the first lull in the ser- T] vice Zach Wright was asked to say a word of welcome to the seniors and a\ Zach did this right nobly. He is a fe pleasing speaker at all times but he Ci shines at Rotary luncheons, for the pr Rotarians love good jokes and they ly humor Zach by giving him rapt attention when he tells one of his jokes to m illustrate his point. Zach had sever- qial jokes and stories in his welcome ce speech and properly conveyed the ni warm welcome to the class of 1922 te which the Rotarians hold deep down of in their hearts for the, gradating p* class of our college. Miss Gaillard al responded in behalf of the co-eds and pr Earl Kinard for the entire class. Both to 3f the collegians made fine responses p and received generous applause. w< After this Earle Babb led out his co Razoo sextette, composed of Hask ad Kibler, Jim Moon, Harry Pominick, of Ben Dorrity, Jim Kinard and the pe leader, and he gave the club some- qu thing entirely new in the way of musical entertainment. This part of the ge program was a scream and they re- ta ;ponded to several encores and prob- re ibly would have been "Razooing" un- to ;il now if Jim Moon had not spied ;he ice cream and cake which had be jeen brought around and this broke co ' in. -p - - j.t__ A: I _ ip zne sextette ior tne tunc ucmg. a Ben Cromer arose, after the desert lit ivas served, and asked all the direc- th ;ors to arise.

They were th ?iven the glad hand. Then the pres- re' dent elect Hask Kibler was asked to de stand up and be inducted into office, th ifter which Ben Cromer, in a very re lappy way, turned over the gavel to th lis successor and wished him well. | lask was ?:ven a rousing welcome th vhich showed that the members were mi for him good and strong and he pro- se needed to make a very fine address,'cil n which he told the club that they riust stand behind him and he stressed the point that they must be close, * 1 -L -Ll 1 J ' snougft behind mm so mat tney cuuiu or help him and he promised that if they tvould cooperate with him that all to- v; ?ether would make this a banner, pear for the Rotary club of Newber- ^ ry. Hask really surprised everyone vith the grace and ease with which he accepted the gavel and the force and g feeling: with which he spoke. He then j n( asked the vice president to arise and|?r Sid Derrick was greeted with a hearty j applause when he arose to answer to j ]e the name of vice president. Some one called for a speech from Sid but ( ^ since the seniors had been promised er that they would be spared a speech' a] from their college president, from or whom they hear so nuny speeches, he s;< did not do more than bow acknowl- aI edgement of the honors of his office j and the applause given him. Hal Kohn, the secretary and treasurer, stood up in answer to the call and so did Jim Moon the sergeant at *ir arms. After the installation was com- th pleted the seniors were called on for i l song and they gave several sele ions, with a whistling number whic fas very pleasing. They closed the iart of the program with a lusty ye or ''Rotary." Miss Merchant playe or the seniors and A. R. Busch pe ormed on saxaphone. Following t? eniors Earle Babb led the club i everal songs, with "Smiles" the mo: opular and the one which all kno nd sang best of all. Senior Mulle hen delighted the diners with sever, 'azoo solos and got much applaus or his efforts. Hask Kibler asked Ben Porrit e had on his mind and Ben got u nd with a small package in his han e unburdened himself of a speec rhich could be classed as an addres f welcome but which was at tne las linute turned into a speech of appr< iation to the retiring president an le package turned out to be a gol ountain pen which the club preoeir d to Ben Cromer for his year of sei ice to the club. Ben accepted ?t i very pleasing manner. Three o'clock was fast approachin ' hen the secretary made a very shoi *port. He announced that the al ?ndance of the club had been unusii lly good at this meeting, there be lg twenty-three of the twenty-fou lembers present to answer to the ro all, giving the club a percent o inety-five and five-sixths for th Leeting.

McCarey writes his brother-in' law, Mr. R. B. Focht, a letter from Turkey, from which we copy portions for the benefit of our readers. We can not reproduce the contents of the letter'entirely, as parts of it are per' snnal. but will give the most interest ;ing facts. The letter was written just after Mr. McCarey's ship had sailed from Odessa, where for ten days he was "watching the Russians die of starvation.'' It was an awful sight he described in watching those mis, erable wretches die of starvation. Look at the picture and think of yourself as "watching men die of starvation." Hear the writer as he tells of the dead in the streets and in . the graveyards, "piled up in stacks like cordwood, the bodies stripped of ii every sign of clothing, the dogs, in some cases, having eaten the most of the bodies." The writer continues his gruesome narrative with the statement that everywhere around the 1 frt Ko coon an arm or cjai uo c*jl t tu ik/v, *- -* w?- ? ? , a head or some other part of the human body, having been buried in graves only about a foot deep, sometimes not covered and bodies exposed, or, if covered, dug up by dogs, as the people are dying faster than they can be buried. "The health department can't cope with the situation,'" says Mr. McCarey, and "conditions are in j ' a most deplorable way in Odessa, and j I am told that they are worse yet in | the interior." All of that was about j the already dead and the dying. Now look at the picture the writer draws of the yet living, the starving and near-dead. While in Odessa, he says n tVio Ar\r*\r a 1 nr>crciHp thp Llitll/ UUVVil KJl 1 UVVtt ?..w ship things were in a fright; people were down there begging for something to eat, and they would eat anything regardless of how it was served: throw anything out on the dock ip the dirt and filth, and down they would go on their hands and knees like so many dogs and eat it." He "even saw two liicl.j b:?ys mi 'he dock in Volta fighting over a dead rac. ' I,ct us draw the curc.ua and shudd.r Rt \ that. i "Who killed John Barleycorn?" asks an exchange. Is he dead?
