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.”

and 34 alleged members of the Ku
Klux Klan were indicted by the Los
Angeles county grand jury on five

The Klan officers were William S.

order; G. W. Price, king kleagle for
the State of California, and N. A.

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

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.

DRY CLEAN YOUR SUIT-
and Save Your Collars
That collar was put on clean an hour
ago—now there's a grimy streak all the
way 'round.
. 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. A telephone message
will bring us.
