WOULD ADVERTISE CHURCH

Milwaukee Minister Tells of What He Could Do If He Were a Millionaire Layman. Rev. \V. T. Dorward. in a sermon at Milwaukee the other Sunday, told his; congregation what he would do to advertise his church if he were a millionaire layman. He said: “I would advertise in all our city papers, paying the price 1 for space as do our city merchants; 1 would use printer's ink freely in every sensible way. I would have in glaring Tetters of electricity the name of my church. It would burn and glow every night in the finest place In the city that money could buy and in such a wav that the biggest film in our city would pale in insignificance. I woußl help with my money to make my church the most attractive place in the city—attractive outside and in. I would have an institute for boys and men, girls and women. “Rut having said all this, as a millionaire and Christian, I would try to remember that my church, in spite of this advertising glare and flare, would soon die of dry rot unless the spiritual light were kept constantly burning. I am sorry we have not a millionaire of this type in our church. If you find bjm, tell him I desire to see him at once.”

The Little Marcy

By M. J. Phillips

(Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press) “The little Marey!” John Burden smiled as he said it to himself. Geraldine Marc/' succumbing to the 1 craze and buying Christmas presents! He had supposed her almost as immune to such frailties as himself; but there was no question that she had succumbed. Abrahams’ store had engulfed Burden, drawn him in and tossed him about amon§ the bewildering aisles with thousands of others like a. chip in a whirlpool. He had come in search of his particular brand of drawing pencil. Presently he found himself drifting past the handkerchief counter, where the current of eager women shopperß fairly boiled. There he had seen the familiar little tailormade figure, and his heart gave a throb of recognition. He had passed close to her —had almost brushed her shoulder as he struggled to free himself frdm the entanglement of women. oShe had just completed her purchase. It was a heartshaped box of handkerchiefs, the coyer decorated with sprigs of holly. The clerk was handing ’ her a card for the address—a Christmas card which would inevitably be recognized as coming from the store of the canny Abrahams, siaee one corner had been cut off.

Burden worked his way to the exit and out into the crisp winter air, just fading into dusk. “The Little Marey !” he repeated again. He could not reconcile the Christmas frivoling with her daily air at dinner among the babbling, cheery actor-folk .that made up, with the exception of Miss Marey and himself, their hoardinghouse circle. She would sit there like a weary princess, engrossed in’ her own thoughts, the piquant little face masked by indifference. Occasionally the childish bickerings or equally childish display of vanity of the actor-folk brought a flicker of mischievous mirth to her eyes. When Burden surprised that look he wondered whether he really understood the girl after all. Burden loitered in the streets for a time before going home to dinner.

They were crowded with eager holiday crowds. There was snow underfopt, and an occasional flake was floating down. He had never seen so many smiling faces in the city before. He found himself smiling, too, and feeling vaguely excited, though he expected neither to buy nor to receive any presents. Every one was in high spirits at dinner. The actor-folk had been through a matinee and were soon to hurry back for the evening performance, but they babbled constantly of the Christmas tree which was to be set up in the dining-room “after the show." Even Miss Marcy had a light in her indifferent eyes, and a delicate color in her cheeks. Burden realized with a start that when she looked like that she was pretty. • He did not feel In the mood to go out, so he retired to his room with a book. But in half an hour the landlady came knocking. She demanded his help up the tree, decorate it, and arrange the various presents. “We’ll surprise them poor things,” she said, with more kindli-, ness than grammar; “they’ll be all tired out when they come in, and it’s quite a task to dress a free.”

So they set up the tree, decorated It with candles and geegaws and started to arrange the packages. The sight of a familiar one attracted his attention. It was a light, heartshaped box, decorated with sprigs of bolly. The card on it —a card with one corner lopped off—bore these words: “To Miss Geraldine Marcy, with best wishes for a merry Christmas.” - Burden excused himself - abruptly. Donning hat and coat he went out into the street. So she had to buy her own Christmas presents. No friends to send her, trinkets; no joyous looking forward to the holiday season! In the glow of pity for her loneliness he quite forgot that he was similarly situated, and that there would he no present on the tree for him. He came to a resolution swiftly. It was to buy “the little Marcy” everything which a young man can with

buy for a young woman who is almost a total stranger and who passed him on the stairs or encountered him at dinner with the briefest and most formal of salutations. • V : Firsts there were dowers. He purchased a prodigal box of them. Next candy, plenty of candy, for did not all girls like to nibble at chocolates? Then music; Miss Marey occasionally played on the boarding bouse piano. He invested in half a dozen popular songs, of varying degrees of inanity and tunefulness. And, last of all, he bought a book. Ah, that book! It was a volume of love and dreams and longings in verse. He remembered it from his childhood days. He had wanted to possess a copy, but never dared to buy it, because it seemed incongruous for a man to care for poetry like that. Yesterday it would have seemed incongruous for Miss Marey even. But in the light of that box of handkerchiefs, and all its purchase implied—yes, “the little Marey” would like that book, he felt. • The tired actors and actresses came trooping, home. They whooped with delight at sight of the blazing tree and the heap of presents. Wraps were tossed aside, .Billy Cummins, the comedian, by reason of age and authority, assumed the role of Santa Claus Never did he play a part more unctuously or sympathetically. Burden watched the door furtively until Geraldine Marey came in, head held high, the unwonted color still in her cheeks. There was a little touch of defiance in her manner to receive the box of handkerchiefs. Burden wap afraid she would leave then, but she was a plucky little thing. She sat down, determined to until the end.

When her name was called again, a few minutes later, only Burden noted the start of surprise. Wffen the great box of flowers was placed in her arms by th£ courtly Billy, there was a little clatter of applause. -The of perception where sentiment is concerned, saw something out of the ordinary in the glance of misty brilliancy she turned swiftly on Burden. As for that young man, his heart bumped suffocatingly for a second or two.' How did she know so quickly and so surely it was he who remembered her? How pretty she was!

They encountered each other in the hall when it was all over, and went up the stairs together. With an absurd sense of elation Burden was carrying another copy of the book he had bought for Miss Marey. It had been a wonderful evening—and that was not the least wonderful feature of it —that she should not only have known and loved the book, but guessed unerringly that he knew and loved it, too.

At the first landing she paused and faced him. opposite her owp door. So changed was she by the clear flush In her cheeks and the happy light in her eyes that Burden wondered. He tried to recall and could not howshe had looked in that mask of scornful, weary indifference, which was but lonesomeness after all. Now she was bright with the gayety which is girlhood’s, heritage and very lovable. “I can’t thank you,” she began; “you have made this my happiest Christmas in years. I have been alone so long. I left the old home when my parents died and came to the city—and I’ve been among strangers ever since. And these —” She gazed down on the armful of his gifts. “It was nothing—nothing,” said Burden, hurriedly. “You’ve thought of me. This book, now —I’ve always wanted it, and I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.” There was a pause, awkward on Burden’s part. Then he stumbled on. “By the way, I believe in giving one’s self a treat on Christmas. I have tickets for ‘The Buccaneer’ tomorrow' night—or rather, tonight. Would you care to go?” Miss Marcy did not speak; but she nodded, while her eyes overflowed. With a sudden impulsive gesture she hugged his gifts to her breast and smiled through her tears at him. “The little Marcy!” whispered Burden to himself, tenderly, as he went up the stairs. His heart was singing.

FAKE ADVERTISING A CRIME

A Clear Conscience the Reward for Publisher Who Refuses to Print Deceptive Matter. _ln an address to the students of the Northwestern University School of Contmerce A. P. Johnson, advertising manager of the Chicago Record-Her-ald, said: ( '“The greatest drawback in the development of modern-day advertising comes from the same source that undermines all other professional and commercial enterprises—the fakers, schemers and promoters of fraudulent undertakings that depend upon advertising to accomplish a dishonest purpose. . “The publisher of any medium hav-, Ing a general circulation, whose editorial columns are read and accepted in good faith by the public, whose opinions on the political and economic questions of the day are read and believfed, and who, at the same time, accepts and prints advertising which he knows is fraudulent, deceptive and mlsrepres’enting, commits the greatest social and civil crime ever perpetrated on a civilized community. “Refusing ‘fa.ke’ advertising does not pay in a direct increase of legitimate advertising, nor does it signify that a paper pursuing such a course should expect any great material reward, other than the satisfaction that comes to any one who deals on the square with his feliowmen.”

POULTRY

DIFFICULT TO RAISE TURKEY Overfeeding and Vermin Among Principal Causes of Mortality—Chicken Hens Poor Brooders. (By A. GLAIGHER, Ohio.) Turkey hens, as a rule, lay their eggs on the ground. As. they begin laying very early in the season, it is best to remove the eggs from the nest soon after they are laid, and replace them with hen eggs. Be careful not to let a turkey hen see you near the nest, because turkeys are very cunning and resent intrusion. Wrap the eggs in paper and place In boxes one layer deep. They should be turned carefully, every day until placed for hatching. Turkey eggs will keep in good condition for 2jL days when cared Tor in this manner. But it is never advisable tor keep eggs longer than is necessary. , Some people hptch their turkeyeggs with chicken hens, but we do not think it a good practice on account of the fact that the poults are apt to get lousy. We had an experience of this kind a few years ago. In spite of the fact that the poults were thoroughly dusted wiih powder every few days they began to droop and die. As a last resort we used olive oil and found it exeeAent. Do not use too much oil. Lard, or any kind of animal grease will kill young poults

almost as fast as the lice will. Vegetable oil is different from animal oils. Never use kerosene. Spread the wing and raise the short feathers on the shoulder, directly over the large quills. If a young turkey has lice, they will be fonfid there. Also around the tail or wherever. there are large feathers. One application of the oil is usually suf’ficient unless the lice are very numerous. Remember, lice are fatal to turkey poults, so they must be kept free from them. Never use oil or grease upon a setting hen. If she has lice, use a powder. Oil, upofi the shell of an egg renders it worthless for hatching. One of the first things young turkeys need is sunshine. It is a waste of time to offer them food before they are 48 hours old. Turkeys need fresh air both day and night, but they must not be allowed to get damp. The first feed is usually hard-boiled eggs, crushed, mixed with dry bread crumbled fine and sprinkled with clean qoarse sand. Rice, properly cooked, is good for ybung turkeys, and pin-head oats, or coarse oat meal is also good. Corn is too fattening for growing turkeys and commercial chick-feed is too bard to digest. Whole wheat is good after they are six weeks old, but only feed a very little of it. Overfeeding is one of the things which must be guarded against. We

have always been inclined to feed too much and too often. When turkeys have free range, which they ought always to have when the weather is suitable, they require very little grain. Grass and insects are their natural food. . :y • - ■

Clover for Egg Production.

c. Closer is as much an egg producer es it is a producer of milk. It is rich in nitrogen and mineral matter, paving a high nutritive ration, it is equal to barley, and almost as high as wheat. Its action is to extend the food ration, reduce the too concentrated • grain food, and prevent the accumuI lation of internal fat The second crop, or “proven” clover is the best. Clover should be cut when in full blossom. Let. it grow until the first blossoms begin to turn brown.

Obtaining Fertile Eggs.

If you are working for fertile eggs for hatching purposes, see to it that too many hens are not given to a single male. The fault of overcrowding is one of the most fruitful sources o! eggs that will sot hatch. With most breeds 15 is a good averaga.
