ADRIAN INDUSTRIAL   SCHOOL
Purchase Supply of 'Quality Stock to
Engage in Poultry Raising
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Finkbeiner of
Saline township, who have a flock of
super-excellent barred Plymouth Rock
chickens, -recently siofld .a hundre!
hens and pullets to the Industrial
school at Adrian.
The authorities in charge uf the
school have • decided to try to train
and interest the girls in the poultry
husiness and to that end have hullr.
some .line new. poultry houses and
purchlased this flock of hens.
Mr. and Mrs. Finkheiner delivirel
the fowls in person and report with
pleasure the excited dejight oi the
girls at the school. Each one within
reach when ihe crates were opened
possessed herself of a hen and it i'.
safe to say that, for ia few weeks at
least, those hens will have all the attention the girls are permitted to
give them.
It is planned to add another hundred fowls to the Adrilan flock in the
near future. Records will he kept of
the achievements of these hens and
thus Mi', and Mrs. Finkheiner will be
able to keep informed as to the productiveness of the flock they have
raised and selected with such care.
The ipurehase was nte.de thi-pagh die
recommendation of the Michigan Ag
ticultural college and Mrs. DeJ Jenkins, a neighbor of the Finkbelners,
was delegated to select the fowls
from the Finkbeiner flock.
The selection of thlis flock as the
one from which to make this
purchase wUs deserved reward for the
care and pains taken hy Mr. and Mrs.
Finkbedner in the care and selection
of their fowls. ' A. C. Foreman, •poultry specialist of M. A. C, has severa'
limes culled the flock and from time
to time thoroughbred cocks have been
purchased, thus developing a strain
f/f layers known as one of the best in
the county.
ADVANTAGES OF RURAL LIFE
There are very few advantages o.'
the city that cannot be brought to
the ruralist, but the basic fundamental advantages of free life iu God's
open country can never be transplanted into the city except to a very
limHted degree.
For every advantage of the city,
there are corresponding advantages
for the country. For every disadvantage of the farm, there are innumerable drawbacks to urban existanee.
The city worker gets more money
than the farm laborer. He likewise
spends more. The city man work;
fewer hours than the ruralist—but
he consumes more time in going tj
and from his work.
The farmer lives out among the
hills and meadows—the city man exists in the crowded flesh-pots.
The farmer gets his rent either
free or at cost—the oity mian pavs a.
fee large enough to cover the profiteering of both property owner and
rental agent
The farmer may have a crop failure on account of weather conditions
—but the city chap often loses h:s
job without even a cloud or wea.ther
report to warn him of the impending
danger and frequently the industrial
employer is more uncertain and erratic than the providential control or
the  elements!
The farmer may obtain his food
direct from the soil. In the case of
the city dweller, the simple act of
food distribution is infinitely more
comiplex and expensive than the bas-
ic process of production itself.
Life in the country fortells indlvid
ualtsm.    The urbanite    is    merely  a
cog in the wheel.
The cjity man Is only one of th •
masses—the farmer is received b/
his fellow-farmers on his merits a-'
a man.
Country life niiakes for physical
and moral strength—the city is ih."
graveyard of our national physique.
In the final analysis the farmer
has the upper hand. Agriculture i;
the most suitable of all industries,
Wars may devastate, panics may
bankrupt, markets mlay become stagnant, but the farmer continues to
live more or less as usual.—The Commonwealth.

Continuing tiro business of ;th •■
meeting held a week ago, ths members of the Saline Mercantile Company, at the -postponed mseting held
Thursday evening-, voted to iiiereas ■
their capital stock, inereasing the
amount cf shares each stockholder

will permit them to purchase tilts F.
1). Ford lumber and mercantile business and his real estate, as they vo'.ed
to do at the previous meeting.
A representative of the company
had. taken up with the auditor general the matter of their eligibility fo v
membership in the Elevator Exchange and the decision, clear and
unmistakable, was that the compan;.,
as at -present incorporated, under an
act making them a straight stock
company', could not join the Exchange.
Robert Wiley, promoter ,of the Elevator Exchange, was present at this
meeting and expressed his regret that
the company could not at once come
into the Exchange, both because tho
Exchange wanted them and because
of the henefit he believed such a federation would bring to the Saline
company. Hs assured them that the
necessary change in # organization
might be made without great confusion—that they would find themselves
doing business after the changs just
a-; before, hardly 'knowing that it hid
been made, except for the advantagrs
ir. would bring. .

WHEN   PA   IS   SICK.
When Pa   is    sicji   he's   soared   to
death,
An' Ma an' us just holds our breath.
He crawls    in   bed,    an'    puffs    an'
grunts,
An' .does all kinds of crazy stunts.
He  wants    Doe    Brown,    '-an'    ini'ty
qulok,
For when Pa's ill lie's awful sick.
He gasps an' groans, an' sort o' sighs
He talks so queer, an' rolls his eyes.
Ma jumjs an' runs, an' all of us,
An' all the house is in a fuss,
Au' peace an' joy is mjighty skeerce—
When Pa    is    sick,    it's    somethinj
fierce.
WHEN. MA ES SICK
Wlen Ma is i;ick she pegs away,
She's quiet, ttough, not muoh r" say.
She goes right on a-do.in' things,
An' sometimes laughs, or even sings
She .lays she don't feel extra well,
out then it's just a kind of spell.
She'll be all right tomorrow, sure,
A good old sleep will be the cure.
An' Pa he sniffs an' makes no kick,
~or women folks is alway sick.
An' Ma,  she    smiles,    lets    on she's
glad,
SVhen Ma is sick it ain't so bad.
