imm •mm "WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1935 THE KI.ESHERTON ADVANCE % One Chance la Six ^ For Golden Wedding The chatic<;s u newly iiiunivd cou- ple have of surviving to celebraU their K»ldeii weddini; anniversary have been put into an absolute cate- gory by sitatistk-ians of the Melro- IMlitan Life. In thi" case ef every newly married couj)le, it is pointed out, the chance depends U|H>n the age of both the 1)ride and brideKriiom. When tht biide is 22 and the bridoKrooin 26 years old, which in about an average example, it was found that tliey hav? approximately one chance in six ot living out their fifty yiar.s together. T<ie chanoe of this same couple sur- viving to their silver wedding is very much greater; in fact, just about three in four. If the britle and bri<|gro<,im are both very young, their chances of liv- ing to the time of their goldi;n wed- ding are quite good. For exafiiple, ill the bride is 18 and the bridegrooin ! 23, a combination of ages by no means' uncommon, they have a chance of al- 1 mo.st one in four of surviving to thvii golden wedding. I On the contrary, it .stands to reason that the relatively infrwiuent cases of late marriages have only a slim rhance of celrJbrating their golden anniversary. If, for example, the bride is 37 and the bridegroom 42 at the time of their marriage, they stand «)nly al>out one cliance in a thousand of seeing thi; fiftieth anniversary of their wedding-. 12 1H:aI) 'SOLUIIiKS' LAYERS NEED A REAL HOME Wiiile there are many factors that i enter into the management of the poultry flock, there is nothing that will have greater influence on the poultry raiser's success or failure than the way in which he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no matter how well fed, will not itturn maximum profits unle.ss well housed. The poultry house is the hen's home, and to be comfortable and give good production, the hou.y.- should have pi-oper ventilatioH insulation antf sanitation; it should have a proper Kcation. plenty of light, be" dry, and have ample floor sj)ace. Timmins has now a population of more than 20 000 and the payroll In the Porcupine avtrages over $500,000 twice each month. It looks like it ought to bo comparatively easy to rake money in Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Rouyn. One of our residents who got in a ca.se of Christmao "cheer" is said 111 have "reacted" as follows when friend wife discovered the crocks and gave some orders as to their dis|>osal: I had 12 bottles of whiskey in my .ellur and my wife made me empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, so 1 jnix-eeded to <io as my wife desired and withdiew tlu cork from the first bottle, poured the contents down the sink with the ex- ception of one glass which I drank. I then drew the cork from the sec- end bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass which I diank. I extracted tlu.- cork from the third l:>ltle, emptied the giH)il old booze down the bottle, except a glass which I devoured. I pulled the cork from the fourth sink and pourwl the bottle down the glass when I drunk some. I pulled thf sink out of the next cork and poured the bottle down my neck. I pulled the bottle from the 'cork of the next and drank one ."ink out of it, then threw the rest down the sink. I pulled the next bottle out of my throat and poured the cork down tht sink, all but tiie sink which I drank I (lulled the next cork from my ihiual and jwured the sink down the bottle and drank the cork. Well, I had them all enipt-'t'd and I steadied the house with one band, counted the buttles whicii were twenty-four. .So I counted them a- gain when they came around again and I had seventy-four, and as the house caiJie around 1 counted them and finally I had all the houses and bottles counted and I proceeded to wash the bottles but I couldn't get the brii'li in the bottles, so 1 turned them inside., out. and washed and wiped them all, and went upstairs and tcld my other half all about what I did. and on BOY! I've got the wifest little nice in the world. OH, woma.n; "Give me your word of honor that if we go you won't get too frisky T' "Mow can I when you are so tempt- ingly beautiful?" "Then I won't go." "All right, I promise." "Then there's no use going." Owl Strangles Goose T. J. Henderson of RoBemount when in town the other day exhibitea an owl weighing only a few pounds^ but with a wing spread of five feet and two inches. The predatory bird was shot by Mr. Henderson's son Evan, when it was noticed clinging to a goose quite close to the house. Tthe goose was dead when the bird was shot and so tightly were the inch long talons of the owl clinging to the neck of the goose that they had to be prie<l loose one at a time. 'ijae owl was a nicely marked bird the predominat- ing color of its feathers being a med- ium brown with bars of lighter brown riiiniing across them. The bird had been notice<l on the premises a num- ber of times and the odd chicken had been missed. It was a surpiise to the oldest neighbor to learn that this iwl had attacked and killed a full V'niwn goose. The deed was accomp- lished by strangling the goose as it? neck was not broken when the talons hud been removed, neither had the flesh been broken. â€" Alliston Herald. STONE'S LINE A very successful closing was given by the teacher, Miss C. Magce, with the scholars' parents and friends turn- ing out well. Mr. W.

NOTICE Nature is not perfuct; sometimes she puts the bone in the head instead of the back. The nudist movement apparently has not progre.ssed far enough to hurt Christmas business.

LIVE LONGER It's the married manâ€" not the bach- elor â€" who lives liiPgost. He not only lives longest, but is less likely to do his living in the poor house. Professor Edwin S. Burdell of the Department of Ek-onomics and 'Social Science at Massachusselts Institute ol Technology, is author of these obser- vations â€" these and a few more. For instance. Professor Burdell tells u.i fewer married men commit crimes and fewer go insane. The death rate, he says, is much lower among married men than un- married, and th,> insurance risk is less for the married man than the ;ingle.
