Make Your Plans To Attend Now Notables Attend Royal Wedding Belgrade.—Among the persons reg istered for seats in the stand to wit ness the King’s marriage procession are Ella Wheeler Wilcox, James J. Jeffries, James K. Hackett and Will iam Jennings Bryan. Even more in teresting are other applicants for seats, namely, Abraham Lincoln, Ed gar Allan Poe, Steve Brodie and James 6. Blaine. These notables have been resurrected from their graves or imported without their knowledge to honor the Serbian King, owing to the strict regulations of the Belgrade police. The American colony decided to erect a special grandstand holding 150 to watch the great procession to the church, but the committee dis covered, after all arrangements had been made, that the police would not allow them to issue tickets except to well known persons. The committee was anxious to have all their tickets in hand in order to circumvent red tape, so solemnly presented a list of applicants for every seat, containing mostly the names of leading states men, prize-fighters and movie stars. The list was solemnly stamped with a large red seal by the police. An American on arrival applying for a place to see the show received a card bearing the name of some notable. Mrs. A. N. Hicks, from the Wiscon sin Relief Organization, probably will sit as President Harding. Careful Crossing Campaign Is On Under the auspices of the Ameri can Railway Association a Careful Crossing Campaign was inaugurated on all railroads in the United States, commencing June 1st and extending to September 30th, 1922. This means that the drivers of au tomobiles, and all other vehicles, will be called upon to exercise the utmost caution at all railroad grade cross ings; in other words they will be expected to “STOP, LOOK and LIS TEN” before attempting to cross the tracks. Handsomely illustrated posters will be put on display in conspicuous places in every city, town and village all over the country. These posters forcibly point out the danger of at tempting to cross railroad tracks without exercising proper caution. The railroads have put all crossings in safe condition for vehicles to pass over, and all whistles, bells and othei earning signals have been thoroughly tested to see that they are in good working order. Slogan: “CROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY.” 3 Chiefs and 34 Members Indicted Selling is like mining. Making good consists of doing everlasting mental digging. Your head is like gold mine.

Thief Borrows Money; Returns It 1 Be sure that the birds have enough fresh air. Sunlight is a good germicide. Clean yards are essential to good health. Healthy hens will always require a clean sanitary environment. Sanitation means clean houses, clean equipment, clean yards, and clean birds. How To Clean a Poultry House: Lock the birds out of the house for the day. Remove all litter from floor and nests. Sweep the walls, ceiling and floor. Remove all food hoppers and other movable equipment. Place the nests in the yard so the hens can use them during the day. Thorough ly clean, wash and disinfect all food hoppers, water vessels and other fix tures. Whitewash applied with a foroe pump may be used for disinfecting purposes. A good whitewash can be made by using the following: Five quarts of cream of lime (fresh stone lime slaked with hot water and cov ered while slaking), one pint of zeno- leum, or any other good coal tar dip upon the market, and one quart of kerosene with an equal amount of water. Be sure the whitewash is forced into all racks add crevices. White wash in the morning so that it will Courtesy of the Florence County Poultry Assn. Poultry Hints For June Clean Up be dry by night. Put the movable fixtures that were cleaned and dried back into the house. Have new clean straw for the nests. Cover the floor to a depth of 6 to 8 inches with a good clean straw litter. See that the birds have plenty of shade and an abundance of clean fresh water, in clean basins. The water basins are of great im portance because many contagious diseases may be spread through the drinking water. Wash and scald all water basins once a week at least. Each morning when filling empty all the old water out and rinse thorough ly before refilling. Place the basins well off the ground so the birds will not scratch straw and dirt into the water. Your next fall and winter supply of.eggs is dependent on the way you feed the early hatched pullets. Be a liberal feeder of the very best feed obtainable. Food hoppers should be so located that they will be perfectly dry at all times. Broiler prices are coming down so market all surplus males. Also fe males that do not show plenty of vigor and which have crooked backs, toes, and beaks. CLEAN UP.

Usually there’s just one reason for that grimy streak—a grimy coat collar. Ever stop to think of an the dirt and dust and grit and cinders and smoke your clothes collect every day? For your health’s sake, and for neat ness, too, it’s just as important that coats and trousers be cleaned frequently as it is to have your personal linen launder ed regularly. And it’s a good thing for one’s pocket- book in the long run—for it’s the grit and grime and the loss of shape that kill clothes—not the wear. We can call for that coat or suit tomor row if you wish.
