POULTRY IS AMONG FEATURES AT GRATIS FARMERS' INSTITUTE

By WM. ft. SANBORN GRATIS, O., Jan. 21. If you have never enjoyed a day at a Farmer' Institute, a day of relaxation and so. clablllty, you have missed an experience worth while. You hare also missed a lot of good things to eat, bountifully served and cooked by women who know how to cook. A Farmers' Institute In a country town is . an "event." Everyone is interested in its success and everyone keeps open house If the town happens to be thronged with visitors beyond hotel accommodations. It is a fact, too. that many a good "Institute" Is held where. there are no hotel accommodations; in towns so small that one wonders at the crowds attracted. Farmers drive in for miles around, mostly nowadays in cars that get over the ground rapidly, and thus distance not only lends enchantment but furnishes an enjoyable ride. Institute days are long looked forward to, and are also long remembered. A chicken, show and a chicken dinner, are both Interesting features of today's session of the institute. Chicken with noodles. If you please, and

other meats as well, at the Brethren I

church. The Ladies' Aid. not the brethern are furnishing the dinner also the supper, for there are evening sessions on the program six sessions

during the two Institute days. The opening session on Monday was but sllmly attended, but the house was

comfortably filled In the afternoon. At night everybody and his wife or sweet

heart was out to enjoy the program. Gratis has a commodious town hall, for a village of four hundred population. It is an ornate structure, substantially built, has a large auditorium and a gallery, and a stage big enough to put on a good show. It is seated with folding opera chairs, well lighted and altogether creditable to the enterprising citizens of this quaint old town. The Brethern church is another building of which the township may well be proud. The old church was burned a few years ago and the new edifice is as neAr fireproof as possible. It is a strictly modern building, is well furnished and is designed to meet all the religious and social needs of its membership. It is In the basement of this church that meals have been served to all visitors. J. F. Brown was the first speaker at the Monday morning session. He illustrated the importance of keeping up the fertility of the soil by the proper care and use of manure. "The soil Is a mighty Interesting subject and will continue to be, as long p.s we grow crops," eaid the speaker. He spoke of seeing ten thousand letters at the agricultural headquarters of a western state not long ago each asking some question as to soils. And yet but a few short years ago farmers

who had left depleted, worn out lands in the east thought the fertllty of their new lands inexhaustable. The speaker maintained that land which had been properly .farmed for a hundred years should produce more abundantly than at the beginning. This is

true in Europe, where lands have been fruitful for a thousand years.

Mr. Brown was followed by "A

Study in Live Stock Farming," which was both entcrtining and instructive. At last night's meeting, he gave an entertaining talk on "The Other Fellow" your neighbor across the fence, it may be. The topics discussed this morning were. "Shall we use Commercial Fertilizer?" by J. F. Brown, and "Preparing and Serving Farm Meals," by Mrs. Ida A. Durbin, who has addressed numerous institutes on farm home problems. "My Friend the Hog;" is also down on thcprogram as the subject of discourse. Corn Show Exhibitors. A very creditable showing of corn is made in the lecture hall. The poultry exhibit is in a store building up the 6treet. Among the exhibitors of com are : Chas. Burd, H. Henderson, C. H. Andrews, J. Burd, J. O. Flory, A. B. Flory, Frank Brubaker. Roll Docker, Earl Crlsmer, W. Williams, Walter Young. Azel and Harvey Brubaker, Roy, Pearl and Hugh Smith, Robert Williams, C. C. Lane, Glen Lane, Russell, Ira and Jesse Fudge, P. Henderson, Bernard Miller, Kenneth Jordan, S. F. Andrews, Chas. Geeting, Kenneth Fudge and Roy Brubaker. A larger showing is made of poultry and pet stock than bad been expected by those in charge. Secretary Harry E. Miller, of the poultry section, is very proud of the number and class of the exhibits brought in. Among, the exhibitors are: John Ehler, of West Alexandria, O., Barred Rocks; David Shock. Gratis, Barred Rocks; C. H. Andrews, Camden. O., White Rocks; Azel Brubaker, Eaton, 0.. White Rocks; Frank Williams. Camden, O., White Rocks; Henry Meyers, West Alexandria, O., Buff Rocks; Warren Williams, Gratis, Partrlge Rocks; Frank Myers, West Alexandria, O.. Partridge Rocks: Walter Young, Camden, O., S. C. Rhode Island Reds, and pens of these were also shown by Russet Burnett, Dwyer and

Andrews and Mrs. Paul Bralton, all of Gratis. Harry E. Miller of Gratis, is showing both White Wyandottes and Leghorns. Warren Williams of Grat

is, la showing Dark Cornish and Black Sumatrans; Black Sumatrans are also shown by Alva Thomas of West Alexandria. Levi Mendenhall, of Camden, is the only exhibitor of the Blue Andalusian strain, and the only pen of Buff Orpingtons is owned by E. H. Yingling- of Gratis. W. U. Young, of Camden, has no competition in Brahmas. There is quite a collection of Ban tarns. of varlou sstrains and these are being exhibited by G. T. Furrey, Chas. Miller and Albert Knabe, of Gratis, Walter Young of Camden, and Vernon Fritz of West Alexandria. Some of thbse mentioned as poultry exhibitors also are showing guinea pigs, Belgian hares and Flemish white rabbits. The Institute closes this evening.

when all awards will be announced. W. U. Young of Gratia township, is president, and W. E. Andrews of Camden, the secretary-treasurer of the institute, and to these untiring workers much credit is due for the success achieved.

Camden Merchant Sells Business to Grandson CAMDEN, O., Jan. 21. Jacob Collet, for the past fifty-five years engaged in the clothing business here, has disposed of his interests to his grandson, Burdette E. Collet, who' has just received his military discharge The latter becomes a partner in, the business with his father, J. E. Collet, who for the past thirty years has been the Junior member of the firm. The senior Mr. Collet is now 85 years of age and started In business here on a small scale during the Civil war. The business grew very rapidly and for a quarter of a century or more he has been among the foremost merchants of the county. Rev. John B. Ferguson, who just

recently returned from Y. M. C. A. work overseas, gave a very interesting talk in the opera house last Thursday evening. A large audience was in attendance ' and . the entire proceeds amounting to. about $100 was added to the public school piano fund, Rev. Ferguson cheerfully donating his services for this benefit. He is a former Camden boy, and after a visit here, left Saturday for his home at Franklin, Ind-, where he is pastor of the Presbyterian church. An epidemic of influenza is again prevalent at West Elkton, seven miles east of here and the schools have been closed. The return of the disease is attributed to public gatherings in the village during a series of revival meetings. J. M. Sizelove, local merchant, is

slowly recovering at his home on South Main street, from a severe attack of appendicitis. W. A. Lamm, who has been confined to his home since early in October from the effects of an attack of Influenza. Is now able to be out Ed R. Fowler, well known local auctioneer, expects to leave in a week or so for Albuquerque, N. Mex. He has been tendered the management of a large ranch- near there and met with members of the company in Cincinnati a few days ago and is seriously thinking of accepting the offer which is a very tempting one. Miss Jessie Shull of Camden, and Mr. Ivile H. Brock, of Nashville. Ind., were united in marriage bere a few days ago by Rev. C. E. Beoltfey, in the First Brethren church. The groom is a discharged soldier, and the brief acquaintance leading to the marriage was the result of a note dropped from a passing troop train here several months ago. The present board of directors of the First National Bank were re-elected at the election last Tuesday. The directors are: R. C. Prugh, Charles Hays, Robert Kenworthy. Jesse Eby, E. C. Eikenberry, J. E. McCord and W. K. Swan. George Unger of Tusco, Okla., is visiting with his sister, Mrs. J. C. Test Mrs. Ernest Goodwin and little son of Richmond, visited here over Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mose Dodge. , .. Charles Benson and daughter, Miss Irene, visited with relatives at Harrison over Sunday...

C. E. Morlatt was in Eaton on business Saturday. ' Linden Street, a Gratis boy in the U. S. service, was here a few hours Thursday evening enroute home to enjoy a short furlough; - M. B. Fry and C. R. Neff were In Cincinnati on business Thursday.
