POULTRY SHOW PLANS FOR BIG EXHIBIT

Addition of Corn Show, Egg-Laying Contest and Exhibit of Appliances Will Help.

Superintendent Jesse A. Snyder, of the Rensselaer Poultry Association, assisted by Secretary John H. Webber and the other officers, are planning to make the annual show the best ever held and a great amount of interest is being created in the show, which will be held at the armory in Rensselaer the week of Jan. sth to 10th. Last year the show was held just before the holidays, when 'there was so much going on that people took less interest than usual in the poultry show and the managers believe that they have selected a much better date this year. The corn exhibit is to be held in connection with the poultry show and promises to be a big drawing card. Many corn growers have promised to make entries and the elevators are giving this feature of the shoV encouragement 'by substantial cash contributions. The corn shown.will remain the property of the exhibitor and not revert to the association.

An egg laying contest also promises to create a great amount of interest. The contest will cover five days. Each entry fo:r this must contain five hens, but they are not required to be thoroughbreds, Any selection of five hens will be eligible, and they can be all of one kind, mixed of mongrel. The five laying the most eggs during the week will win the prize. Purdue University will furnish a splendid exhibit at the show. H will consist of poultry appliances and poultry rations. There will be nothing in this exhibit for sale and it will not advertise' any article, but everything exhibited will be something that poultry raisers can make for themselves. The method of making and the uses to which they are placed will be shown. Dry mash and other rations will be ■Shown and the .best methods of securing egg production discussed. This feature will be of such impor 3 tance that no person having chickens can afford to miss the show. The premium lists will be out by ■Nov. 25th and persons desiring a copy can get one by applying to the Secretary, John H. Webber, or the Superintendent, Jesse A. Snyder. Canvassing for the advertising has been met with a cheerful response arid already SIOO worth of advertising has been secured from merchants. The early indications are for a successful show this year and the help of all poultry raisers and corn growers is asked in order that the exhibit will be a splendid one.

PRODUCTS EXHIBIT IN NEWTON COUNTY

Superintendent of Schools Schanlaub Has Established a Good Method of Instruction.

Newton County Enterprise. County Supterintendent W. O. Schanlaub is a believer in practical education. So far as it is possible to do so he wants to show the child mind the substance, and not preach too much theory, fin harmony with these ideas and in keeping with the new vocational and domestic science propaganda Mr. Schanlaub has for some time been gathering together exhibits of various kinds, and now has on display in his office a very valuable collection. From the American Manufacturers Association olf Products of Corn he has an exhibit that is of particular interest to "the stndentrof agriculture. It includes 35 sealed bottles containing as many different products of corn, from oils and syrups to sugar and flour. He also has exhibits of various kinds of food cereals. There is also shown m sealed glass bottles twenty products of petroleum, sent by the Standard Oil Co< and in addition to this exhibit Mr. Schanlaub has crude oil from California, Indiana and Kansas. The Larkin Co. sent twelve exhibits of* soap materials, and the Lowney Co. sent six exhibits showing the products of the cocoa bean, such as cocoa butter, chocolate, etc. There are also exhibits of crude carborundum, asbestos and magnesia. Another interesting exhibit preserved in alcohol shows the development of the silk worm from the egg through the cocoon stage to the adult or winged moth. Supplemental to this exhibit is a big display of raw silk, silk samples, floss, thread, etc. In the line of arts the Easterbrook Pen Co. furnished a sample showing the twelve stages in the evolution of the pen. First the raw component metals used in the making of pens, followed by samples of each step taken in the manufacture of pens. He also has similar displays of spoons, shears, needles and pencils. The exhibits are all labeled and arranged in order of their natural progress. The collection is exceedingly interesting and people visiting the office find pleasure in examining the same: - To make the collection valuable to the schools Mr. Schanlaub is following two courses. First, nearly all the teachers of the county have studied tha_sam&._aniL.-axe-thereby-better able to instruct their pupils, and second, when a study of any subject is taken ,up that touches on these exhibits Mr. Schanlaub takes the exhibit to the school and gives the pupils a talk along that particular line. If seeing is believing, Mr. Schanlaub has. hit upon a novel plan to educate the child mind.,

Young Jewelry Thieves to Reformatory for 1 to 15 Years.

The two young men who gave the names of Montrose after their arrest at South Bend for having robbed a jewelry store at Kent land, and who were confined in the Jasper county jail for some time, pleaded guilty at Kentland Thursday and were given indeterminate sentences of 1 to 15 years in the state reformatory. The youths were nice appearing chaps, apparently from good families and claimed to have good homes in Buffalo, N. Y., and to have given assumed names to shield their Identity. They had evidently committed other robberies and it is fortunate they were nipped before they became confirmed criminals.

AUSTRALIAN BEEF HARD ON THE JAWS

Vaudeville Star Thinks American Dentists Would Prosper in Sydney—Delightful Trip.

Tivoli Theatre, Sydney, Australia, Sept. 21. Editor Republican: ‘ We left Sari Francisco via the Ventura on Aug. 26th, and arrived at Honolulu Sept. Ist. It was a line trip. Honolulu is the garden of them all. We spent hut qqe day there, but I could have enjoyed 6 months. It is a great climate and everything seems to be raised there. There were nine running races on The card the day we were there and we saw part of them, but spent the majority of the day motoring. The army barracks where 7,000 men are stationed, is beautiful, fixed for the convenience and comfort of all the troops. Honolulu is a great little city, very thriving and up-to-date. We left at night for the Samoa Islands, Pago Pago, where we spent a day among the natives and the U. S. A. naval officers and men stationed There on the Princeton. There are about 250 of them, with their wives, children, etc. They seem very bright; the men are very big and strong and the women are beautiful for dark skins: We enjoyed their hulu hulu dance for an hour. Our next stop was Sydney.

On Sept. 10 we went to bed and woke up on Sept. 12, having lost a day in our lives. This will be recovered if we Should return by the Pacific, but will be permanently lost if we go back via London. There seem to he 1,000 reasons why we lose a day, most of which are of a comedy order. The climate was fine the entire trip, the temperature never above 80; even crossing the equator it was only 72 and we slept undec blankets. .We had a great trip;. 36 show people on board, including 13 vaudeville acts, and the time passed rapidly. We arrived at the gate head of the famous Sydney harbor Sept. 15th at 2 p. m. Sydney has a beautiful harbor and when you have said that you have said all. It is fifty years behind Francesville. It has a population of 650,000, scattered all around in suburbs. The people seem courteous and they' enjoy good American vaudeville. We all opened yesterday afternoon and all was a big success. I can’t tell you yet how much the papefs like us, as the criticisms all come put Monday. There are no traTn caTs andmothing open in Australia on Sunday, so if you want to go any place you must walk. The Wentworth hotel, where we are stopping, is the best in Sydney. The rates are $5 per day for eaoh. You have possibly heard that Australian beef is the best in the world. I really have to laugh. We have been here nearly a week and I never put my teeth into such leathery steaks. This country should be a good place for American dentists, as a person must have sharp teeth to get away with this famous Australian beef. They ship, however, steamer after steamer of frozen beef and mutton to the Islands of Fiji, the Tahita Society Islands and hundreds of others on the north coast, even Honolulu is importing the majority of its beef and mutton from here, but even if beef is admitted free of duty into the U. S. A., it will never hurt the home industry, for it is too tough. The mutton, however, is fine. Australia is larger than the United States. It has great resources, but it is claimed capitalists will not invest here on account of the country being in the hands of the labor party. Labor is high and living just twice as high as it is In America.

Upon our arrival at Honolulu we received a cable to the effect that we must be vaccinated as there were 10 to 20 cases of smallpox daily in Sydney, so we all got tho ship doctor to give us the needle. There have been about 1,500 cases in Sydney the past five months and no doaths. They are now trying to make themselves believe it is nothing more than chickenpox, in fact, the medicals seem to be somewhat at variance, on this score. The city has been quarantined for five months, but one would scarcely know It, except that tho business interests have suffered. Out of 650,000 people nearly 200,000 haye been vaccinated, the doctors averaging one pound far vaccination, and now it is turning out to be chickenpox. Only a few new caseg have been reported since we have been here and it is agreed that they are chickenpox. We have twenty weeks here in Australia, then we go to Monte Carjo, Nice, via Colombo, Ceylon. Ruez .Canal, and we may stop and go over to India for a few weeks, providing I oan postpone my French engagements. If I can’t ar range for this we will go to Paris

Just to Correct One of Our Brother's False Impressions.

The Democrat seeks to defame J. A. by charging him with furnishing this paper information about democratic troubles and inspiring articles against Babcock. This is not the ca*se. Mr. McFarland has never suggested an article in this paper, except the one he wrote himself and which so conclusively exposed Babcock as the posed friend-of-thc taxpayer. Mr. McFarland is doubtless much truer to his party at all times than Is Babcock himself and has never bolted any ticket ever named. Neither has he been.guilty of speaking of an act of William Jennings Bryan as “damfoolism” nor of kicking up a local fuss over a postoffioe. Had his candidate been beaten for the postofr flee Mr. McFarland would have swallowed a big lump and goneright 'back into the trenches, but not so with Babcock, who has cut more unbecoming capers than any defeated candidate we have ever seen. Mr. McFarland has been libeled by The Democrat in many ways and it is quite probable that after the city election Babcock will be required to back up or stand a libel suit—one of his own strong specialties.

The members of Trinity M. E. church gave a very delightful and successful reception to Dr. and Mrs. Paul C. Curnick and family Thursday evening.

Dr. Curnick starts out in his new pastorate under very favorable auspices. Last Sunday large congregations attended the preaching services, both morning and evening. Both pastor and people look forward 'to this year's work with great expectation and hope to make it one of the best years in the history of Trinity church along all lines of church activity.
