Last night was the first time during the ten years that the Central school has presented a play that the school had an orchestra of its own to provide music. Although the orchestra has been, organized only a few week-i, the young musicians suprised the audience with their fine music. Play Has Interesting Plot There were eight characters in the play, entitled, "His Last Legs." All of the members of the cast were between the ages of twelve and fourteen years, but they handled the roles of adults in excellent fashion. Daniel Schafer played the role of Charles Rivers, a young college student, who was home for a vacation. When it came time for him to return to school and leave his sweetheart, Julia Banks, he decided to play sick. The rcle of Julia Banks, was played by Ema Lankenau, while that of her mother, Mrs. Banks, was played by Enid Walters. Dr. Banks, husband of Mrs. Banks, who has been separated from hfs wife for ten years, meets Felix O’Cal-

| laghan, down and out Irishman, who ( 'la penniless and hungry. Thetwo roles ( were played by James Burk and James Engeler, respectively. The doctor gives his card to O’Callaghan and leaves. When Charles feigns sickness, his father Mr. Rivers, played by Randolph Brandyberry, hurries out in a search of a doctor. He meets O’Callaghuu and tells his trouble to him, offering lUO pounds for a physician to save his son. O'Callaghan decides to take a chance and Impersonate a doctor. He gives Dr. Banks' card to Mr. Rivers and goes to see the patient. 1 When alone, Charles admits he i» not sick and O'Callaghan confess* d he is not a doctor, but they ugtee to help each other out ot his predicament. Charles’ aunt, Mrs. Montague, is a. former lover of O'Callaghan, and si e recognizes him. Many amusing circumstances arise before the play ends with O'Callaghan and Mrs. Montague becoming lovers again, and Charles winning the hand of Jullt. Harold Melchi played the roll ot Jpt.e a butler, in excellent tash.on. The play was directed by Miss Grace Coffee, a teacher in the Central schools, who has successfully directed the Central school plays for the last several years. o- — POULTRY SCHOOL WELL ATTENDED (CONTIMVm FROM that, care should be taken to select relialile formulas. During the noon hour, quite a num- • ber of those attending visited the ■ Geneva Hatchery and were conduo ed through the plant. Many expressed wonderment and surprise when shown broilers more than 12 weeks old that had never had the advantage of sunshine, the hatchery building having been their abode during their entire Hyes. Rickets, or ordinary leg weakness were prevented by 1 the feeding of cod liver oil, according ’ to Mr. Stucky, proprietor of the ' hafchery and director of the feeding of the chicks. The chicks were ap parenjtly in heajlthy condition and now weigh about one and one-hall pounds. Dutflng the afternoon session, Mr. driffin spoke concerning the growing 1 of baby chicks. "Cleanliness is the 1 first and probably the most import r ant necessity in saving a large perr centage of baby chicks,” Mr. Griffin declared. Changing the location ot ! the brooder house to dean ground each year is almost necessary for - success. By definitely following a 5 sy&'em of rotation, placing the brooder houses on alfalfa pasture each - spring where chicks have not. been ; brooded for several years, practically one hundred per cent of the disi eases of clucks can be prevented, he ’ stated. Mr. Griffin also explained ’ the new all-mash ration for chicks, ,- now being recommended by the Puri due Poultry department w.t nmr. — ir '' '—f* l ww- »e«M«»aMa***i>M**«»«******'**’*"*** AMMONS IS FATALLY HURT THIS MORNING i ; tCONTIMUKD FROM PA<t!t ONK> ’ all possible methods were used to save the man, but he died a few min- • utes after arriving nt Berne.

SOYBEAN HAY ; VALUABLE FEED County Agent Tells How To Feed Soybean Hay And ' Thrashed Soybeans By L. M. Husche, County Agent In spite of weather during the late summer and fall that almost prohibited making soybeans into hay, inquiries at the county agent's office indicate a number of farmers were successful in getting some hay into the barn. Wet weather almost beyond Imagination, however, caused a great amount of nay to be left in the windrow or cock, thereby depriving many an “Old Bosay” of lots of the best hay to be had. Many acres of beans in the county yet remain standing, of which the larger proportion doubtless will be threshed when weather permits. Several farmers have asked, "Now that I have soybean hay in the mow, what is the best way to feed it?” It is to be remembered that soybean hay is very high in protein, making it exceptionally “rich" and should be fed accordingly. It should not make up the entire roughage given milk cows, because of its “richness". Not over I*4 pounds to each 100 pounds live weight of cow should be fed dally. Straw or corn stocks can well make up the balance of the roughage the cow may desire. Although soybean hay probably may be safely fed to horses, there is more danger of overfeeding than with cows. Also, more profit will be realized from feeding it to cows for milk production than to horses merely for wintering them. In round figures, approximate., pounds whole, threshed soybeans will replace 2 pounds 60% tankage when fed to hogs providing minerals are added to them. Tankage contains plenty of mineral, —soybeans do not, so the deficiency must be made up. The mine - al mixtuer of 100 pounds 16% acid phosphate, 100 pounds wood ashes and 10 pounds salt has been found to work best when added to soybeans. Feed soybeans whole to hogs, unless they are ground with other feeds. Don’t make soybeans more than one-sixth of the grain ration fed hogs. One pound of ground, threshed soybeans replace one pound oilmeal or cotton seed meal with fed in the grain ration to dairy cows. Soybeans should never be fed to cows without being ground. In case the ration is homemixed. a 400-lb. corn, 200-lb. oats and 100-lb. soybean mixture, all ground, does very well. They are slightly laxative, although not as much so a» oil meal. o John B. Franke, Prominent Killed Fort Wayne, Jan. 6.—John B. Franke, 62, president and general manager ot the Perfection Biscuit company, of this city, and prominent English Lutheran church layman, was instantly killed in an automobile accident at Pleasant Lake, near Angola, about 9:30 o’clock last night. Harvey Mullendore, mechanical engineer for the Perfection Biscuit, company, 2711 Kensington boulevard, was driving the automobile and was injured. Mr. Franke and Mr. Mullendore were returning to Fort Wayne from Battle Creek, Mich., where they had gone on a business trip early yesterday morning. The accident occurred at a "T” formed by two roods at Pleasant Lake. Their automobile swerved off the road and plunged down an embankment It stopped a short distance from the lake. They became confused by the two roads, Mr. Mullendore told Coroner THE BEST REMEDY KNOWN FOR PILES No Failure in 6 Years. Thousands of Cases. Quick Results.
