The MC I League
At the next meeting of the
Marble City Improvement
League which will be held at
the public library Friday April
12th at 7:30 p:m there is
some important business to be
transacted and so that we may
all be in on the good work of
improving things let the mem-
1 1 bers and all who wish to become
boosters be present and join the
league The business which is
to be brought up will be the
prospects of building a good
t Inroad out eastover Seminole
avenue toward Brushy where
there are some widea-wake
people who will join us in an
effort to build tbisgbod road
Just stop and think what'this
road will mean 16' Mir bl-City
It means that the farmers along
the route and the people of
Brushy who do their trading at
some other point will come here
It means that much of the
shipping to Brushy will be done
by way of the K C S Ry
through Marble City and over
land from here
Brushy has no railroad and
for this reason also the people
of that town are anxious to get
in touch of Marble City which
is their best shipping point and
have already improved the
road part way Let us join
with them with our money and
our labor and bring the dollars
here which now go somewhere
else
Without a doubt Marble City
is a good trading point and to
bring more trade to the town is
the object of the M C I
League Every merchant and
every booster in the city should
be a member and we would soon
have as good a booster club as
any city of much larger size
We have the material if we all
get together for there is an un-
limited number of boosters
Already there is a tidy a-
mount offered toward the work
and we could a little later on
close up all business houses and
turnout and bave-a picnic as
did Sulphur Springs Ark on
last DecoratlomDay when the

ladies of the city furnished the

had a good time there and ac-
complished much toward build-
ing the great white way
All the boosters and all those
who believe they can become
boosters are requested to be
present at this next meeting and
help figure out someway to
build this road
A Nice Home
Saturday morning while the
editor and wife were out look-
ing for a ‘-sittin’ hen” we had
the pleasure and we might say
surprise as we visited the home
of Mrs Jennie Sumpter We
at once fell in love with the
place as the first thing to at-
tract attention with the place
was two rows of flowers lining
the walk to the house We in-
formed Mrs Sumter that we
came over to take possession
but we bidn’t for after show-
ing us over the entre place
only to increase our desire
Mrs Sumpter decided not to
accept our offer This busy
little woman has been making
an extra lot ot improvements
this spring and has just cause
to be proud of her home which
is one of the prettiest in the'lit-
tie city We however succeed-
ed in securing the services of
the “sittin hen” and came
home happy

Poultry Raising
The poultry industry is not
preperly managed in this coun-
try There are in' and around
this town many well bred chick-
eus of standard breeds There
are many persons who take no
little pride in their flocks and
in many cases their returns are
not as remunerative as they
should be Many farmers have
from 25 to 50 or 75 hens and
during the winter months have
very few eggs to sell and some
have none for their own use
There are many reasons for this
dearth of eggs The first great
requisite necessary to secure
plenty of eggs in wiater is to
bave young hens Chickens
hatched in January or February
will furnish pullets that will
with other conditions properly
looked after lay all winter
This they will not do if fed
only corn and allowed to sleep
in the trees but the pullets will
come nearer than old fat hens
These should mostly be sold be-
fore the winter feeding is done
Feeding chickens is certainly
a very important item of their
care They need a variety of
food which is as necessary as
any other condition Kafir
corn wheat and milo-maize are
valuable Do not forget to
grow a small patch of sugar
btsts or mangles
The biddies will 6how their
due appreciation of this feed
Hang one up where they can
approach it from all sides and
it will soon vanish before a
flock Fresh juicy food Do
not feed a worthless lot of cock-
erels through the fall and
winter I Keep this one little
fact well before-: that two -dozen
good yojung hens well cared for
are worth more and vy ill lay
more eggs than 50 mixed hens
indifferpntly cared for Here
is the result of one small flock

Fat - Motto: Let's Build
If I were a rose
On the garden wall
Id look so fair
And grow so tall
I’d scatter perfume far and wide
Ot all the flowers I’d be the pride
That’s what I’d do
If I were you
Oh little rose!
If I were a bird '
With a nest in a tree
I would sing a song
So glad and free
That birds iu gilded cages near
Would pause my wild sweet notes to hear
'! That’s what I’d do
If I were you
V ‘ Oh gay wild bird!
' Fair little maid '
If I were you
I should always try
To be good and true
I’d be the merriest sweetest child
On whom the sunshine ever smiled
That’s what I’d do
If I were you '
Dear little maid
Five or six hens sitting
These chicks had good care and
variety of food During this
time eggs ranged from 2o to 3o
cents or were higher Is it
worth while to try to do thiugs
right?— Sulphur Springs Record
