Below arc a few suggestions of

those expecting to exhibit chickens
affairs. Lessons on this : have
been given the boys and girls of
the Poultry (Tubs and \ve hope
that many''of them will have birds
ready for the County Fair and are
dot preparing them for it.
There win be an egg. show in con
nection with the * State Poultry
Show to. which only members of
the Poultry Associations or Home
Demonstration clubs will be al

There is nothing that plays \ a j
more important part in. im pro vi ug j
the various breeds and varieties
more than poultry shows or exhi
bitions. A poultry show properly
conducted is the .final court in de
termining, the merits of a fowl. a?id
in dftermimng the' ability of a
breeder to produce standard bred
poultry. PouJtry shows not 'only
foster , competition, -.and- create:
rivalry, but they also make it pos-1

sible to compare results. The in
dividual breeders have an oppor
tunity to see what other breeders
j have accomplished, and to observe
j where their birds are- strong or
j weak in comparison. Besides these
[advantages, the exhibition of fowls
Jprov'des additional features. The
j best individuals in each class or;
: variety arc awarded premiums and]
j ribbons designating their place asj
! prize winners. While the money j
[prizes in most instances arc not of
[.great amounts, at the same time, j
the honor and distinciton of win-.
' ?ing cannot he measured in terms
; of dollars and cents. The advertis- j
ling value, of such winners is of J
jgreat importance .and piays a sig-j
j-rihTcunt part in the affairs of the:
j exhibitor who has for sale breed
[ ing stock and eggs.
The beginner just starting with i
j standard bred poultry should first j
i exhibit at the local shows and, as I
j his experience dev elops, exhibits j
lean be made at the-county and j
state fairs, aud finally at the larger '
shows. - ]
PreparingBirds.for the Show. '
Unless chickens are properly |
managed and grown so that they j
will mature .into typical represent-!
tatives of their breed, they will not j
make, a creditable. showing. ? The j
selection of the birds to be shown j
should take place by observing.the !
fowls as. they appear on.the .range
or in the yard at leasts, month or
two before the fair. Attention
be directed, to cer.tain birds that, are
outstanding' in. appearance,, thatj
possess good type and ,oolojt and
other characteristics ..that gb-.to
make, a' standard bred bird.. Such
birds should be examined careful
ly in detail for under color and sur
face, ?s well as for defects, and de
sirable points. .
. Some of the general ^?qtuahn
eations as igiven in the - "American
Standarji.oX Perfection" that should
.be'.guarde^.;against- are: ?
1. Comb
a. Lopped comb - in, all .males
and females, except the females of
the Mediterranean and Continental
classes and Dorkings.
b. Spht comb.
c. Side sprigs.
d. Rose comb, that is abnormal
size or lopsided.
I c. Comb foreign to the breed.
C Absence of the spike in
Rose comb breed.
H. Face .
a. White on face pf Mediterran
ean; breed except White Faced
Black Spanish.
X?. Back
a. Deformed or crooked back.
\ TV. Wins*
, a. Clipped flight feathers or sec
ondary feathers.
T. TaB
a. " Decided ' squirrel or wry tail.
b. Absence of main tail featfc
ers.
VL Shanks and i'ect
a. Absence of_feathers on out
er sides of silianks of Brahamas.
Cochins, and Lajagshans.
b. Presence of feathers on any
part of shanks or feet of breeds
that should have none.
.C Color, that. is. foreign to the
bteed.
d." Presence of more or fewer
toes than four on breeds ha^ng.
^oiir>;and: awe or fewer than five
on those, breeds so characterized. .
til/ WeJgtu I
a. Birds weighing . 2 pound's
i lese than standard weight for breed,
excepting."turkeys and bantams.
Vm. Faking:
: a. Deceiving the 7 judge by
changing or renioving a disquali
fying. feature.
Care should be taken, after se
lecting the bird, to send it to the
? fair, in the very best condition.
There is no question .that a. bird
i should be clean when shown and
j that a clean bird with .proper
i training will make a better appear
ance and impression than one
equally as good otherwise, bu^
having soiled plumage or is easily
frightened. If possible, the birds
j selected should be removed, from
j the rest of the flock and. confined
I for a length of time. They should
| not be confined to the. coop for too
| great a period, as they may lose
! their appetites and lose in weight.
. A very good plan is to allow the
birds range every other day and
confine them to the coop, and
ihandle them every other day al
ternately. This should be contin
ued until a few days before sending
j them to the fair. Then they should
; be confined to their coops for the
: tmal training and conditioning.
| White varieties and other light va
rieties frequently need washing in
j order to show to a good advantage
j when exhibiting. The most desir
jable place in which to wash fowls
j :s a room were the temperature
; is about 70 degrees or 80 degrees,
land one free from draft.. Place
i clean shavings in the coop and cov
?*r the top. back and sides with
cloth or paper to prevent a draft,
i leaving the front open. Provide :\
or 4 tubs of water?the first two
! luke warm, and the last two cool
! er. Use Ivory soap in the first
tub. Before washing the plumage
j clean {he face., comb, wattles and
i feet by scrubbing with a nail brush
;aud lather. Next, lather the plum
age well ajid thoroughly wash rub
bing v.iTh the feathers all the time.
1 fUuse in next two tubs and in last
tub add some bluing. Dry birds off
,wiih soft towel, Put in the. coop
and draw closer to. stove., but not
[too near. It' the sun is very warm,
[the plumage will soon dry outside.
r Keep the birds in a warm place
12 hours before shipping them. Af
; ter the birds are thoroughly dry. it
is well to moisten a cloth with *
very little sweet or olive oil. or
?vaseline and rub it on the shanks,
watt lew. eic lobes. Tac? und comb.
It will teud to bring out. the true
i c?>lor of these pans considerably.
Be careful not to apply too much oil
or vaseline, as it may soil the
: plumage.

I Carelessness Cause of Many Fires.
Chicago, Cct. 9.?Carelessness is
;th.e caufce of three-fourths of the
annual fire toll of 15,000 lives and
j property worth half a billion dol
lars, according to,George B. Mul
daur. general agent of the Under-(
|writers' laboratories, in an address !
I broadcast simultaneously from'
I twenty radio stations tonight as j
j pat-t of the observance of Fire Pre- j
! vention day, the anniversary of the i
Chicago fire of .1871.
"The,time to put out a fire is be
fore it starts," he Said. "No amount I
of fire extinguishing apparatus can !
cope with, universal carelessness, j
By. the education of the public, in- i
jdustrial organizations and school j
children to avoid carelessness, In- j
difference and selfishness, the de- i
sired result can be brought about, j
"What.do you know about the;
fire hazards existing in your own j
"house? When did you last go over!
the house with a view of seeing if j
lany danger exists? Where is the j
j nearest tire alarm box? Do you j
[know how to operate it? What do!
i you know about the condition of
j your children's school? Is it fire
| proof? Are there plenty of exits? ;
] Has it fire escapes? Do they have j
i fire drills? Ar? the motion picture
j theaters to which you and your;
! family are in Ihe habit of going
I properly protected ?
i "A clean house is a safe house, j
; Safety from fire is largely a mat- j
i'ter of good housekeeping. An an.- !
j nual house cleaning is as slovenly
;as a weekly bath. The house should
i be kept clean at all times, not pe
riodically.
j "Place fire extinguishers where
[they may be readiiy got at and train !
j yourself in their use. Provide!
yourself with home inspection j
{olanks and see that they are filled'
Iout at regular intervals and the in- !
formation thus obtained placed in
the hands of the proper city au
j thorities."

Coffee Miuor Deprivation of Coffee- !

"Deprive the people of any big
American city .of their daily news- |
papers lor a week, or n month, and :
imagine what; would happen. "Ye't i
such deprivation is the real sigfii-':
ficanco of what, the coffee-house'j

ceedingly costly: but they fiue:u

the gyrations of exchange rat?.

faced such emergencies as food;
rationing, railroad and coal strikes,j
he never has had it brought homc:

loss he would sustain' by not beingj
able to buy his daily newspaper;
for a fixed sum.

houses, or the sudden cessation of j

shock, yet 'such <:aIfsmitios could;
hardly be considered as much cf a
wrench to the daily lives of th^
average citizen as a temporary lull
in the even tenor of Viencsc co*~:

"Even the city-dwelling Ameri
can is accustoined to look upon his
home as his evening headquarters
for icst and recreation. In Vienna

who rasnrd their abodes as pla -es

i duties of looking after the attend

I legislative delegation and Sumter
City Board of "Education, will take
the necessary steps immediately
to see. that books are provided,
cither by the city and county au
thorities, /or by popular eontribu
I tions for that purpose. It might be
; now. as it has ever been the case
'that some unfortunate boys and
i girls, in the absence of a truant of
ficer to enforce the compulsory at
: tendance, laws, which were enact
i ed to protect helpless children, are
j the victims of ignorant, carles?, or
'indifferent parents, who are too
?stingy to assist in giving their ch'l
' dren an education, even when the
state, city, and county provide

"The contribution of Classic
Greece , to world culture is univer
sally recognized: but the renaisance
of .Greek cities and towns durntg
eighteenth century is not so gener

of the Turks, had a famous .'ohoul
with a great library, and the city
itself was called a*;veritable vomc'
of civilization and intellectual prop

j Area of Greek Administration
j "When Greece revolted in 1821,
j and America was stirred by Daniel
j Wesbster's famous oration on the
i Greek cause, Asia Minor Greeks felt
j the fury of Turkish massacres. Avil:
was razed and Smyrna devastated
j but the Greeks survived. The sea
coast area of Asia Minor which
was assigned to Greek administra
tion and which the Turks'have now
captured, was carved from the old
Turkish vilayets of Brusa and Aid
.: in. .,. u:.
"In these two divisions the Greek
population is estimated to have
nearly doubled within the past 25
years, until it now appraaehes a
! million. .
I "One element in this expansion
I has been the Greek aptitude for
] trade in contrast fo the Turk's in.?
j grown, distaste of commerce. A
! striking aspect of many a town in
j Western Asia Minor is the single
j shop, with merchandise as con
glomerate as an old-time American
[village country store, and invarir
J ably this shop Is kept by a Greek.
1 Greek peasants settled in many fer
tile, fields, and all over the land
?they have erected- schools^ In
I Smyrna itself more than half the
j population is Greek, and in lessen
j ing numbers the Greeks have pen
letrated the coastal plains, but the
?plateau which forms the interior
of the peninsula is the stronghold
jof the Turk.

itts one of those' minor obstacles
! which may be just enough to di

j "One other absence, beside Turk
ish merchants, is conspicuous in
(Asia Minor?that is the women,
i Where Christian mingles with Mos

j entering a Greek home one may
j look upon the faces of its women
