If you are in a hurry, sprinkle the clothes with warm water. It spreads more quickly than cold water. There are several sprinkling devices, such as a bottle with perforated top that can be had for a few cents that will do a better job of dampening clothes than can be done by hand. A small whisk broom also does a good job. eases which pick off chickens that otherwise would become needed producers. The right capacity for a brooder house having 100 square feet, for example, is 200 chicks. Fowl pox, or sorehead, and coccidiosis, levy a heavy toll on eggs and chickens. Beginners, or those who have experienced outbreaks on their farms, should make vaccina- I tion of flocks for fowl pox a "must" this season, especially the pullets after the cockerels have been sold. Vaccination, which costs approximately one-half cent a pfullet, is the safest chicken insurance. Sanitation is the best preventive of coccidiosis--clean feeders and wa- ' terers, and clean, dry litter, with emphasis on dry. Coccidia need moisture to develop. Stirring the litter, moving the feeders and water fountains to new locations in the house daily will keep it down. Feed- j ing of sulphur in the mash, along ; with good sanitation, also has proved successful as a preventive. The rec- j ommendation is to add 2Vi pounds of dusting sulphur, or unconditioned | 325 mesh sulphur in 100 pounds of ; feed. Chicks must be at least three I Vreeks old and running in the sun» light before sulphur is fed, and it cannot be fed to chicks which are in batteries. • • is a local soldier whom everyone who knows, will describe as '"likeable."

Museum Displays Best Seller of 500 Years Ago A "best seller" of 500 years ago, when printing from movable types was in its earliest years, is artiong a collection of old books and manuscripts being shown in a University of Illinois museum. The volume is "The Sixth Book of the Decretals," which went into 57 editions. The copy acquired by the university is from the press of Peter Schoeffer, Mainz, Germany, direct successor of the publishers of the Gutenberg Bible, the outstanding work of Johannes Gutenberg, recognized as the inventor of printing < from movable type. | The Latin Colophon, or publisher's | note, at the end of the book, is an interesting commentary on the work. It reads: "In the Noble City of Mayence which the Glorious God has designated to prefer and render famous more than other peoples of the world through the ingenious art and voluntary gift of printing, the distinguished work of the Sixth of the Decretals has, not by ink from feathered and metal pen or reed, but by a certain very beautiful invention, been successfully completed by the venerable Peter Schoeffer or Gernsheim in the year of our Lord, 1476, on the 9th day of the month of Janu- --"But, good heavens, aWith to some time!" - 1 Farewell Party The lovely lawn at the Walter Anderson home on John street was the scene of a wiener roast and farewell party last Sunday evening, the event honoring Vern Mikklesen of Woodstock, husband of the former Catherine Weingart,. who left Monday for service.
