offered as we have given. Now, only three more
days remain of this sale and if you want to save
money you’ll have to hurry. Thousands of dollars

Tuesday, January 31.
SUITS AND OVERCOATS
COATS
MEN AND BOYS
LADIES AND CHILDREN
Our entire stock of Hart, Schaffner and Marx and
Schloss Brothers overcoats are going at One-Third Off. All
suits go at the same reduction and several groups are go-
ing at a greater price cut. There’s lots of cold weather
ahead yet and you’ll need these suits and overcoats many
times before spring. These were real values at their origin-
al price but now at this big reduction they are bargains
that you should not pass up! Come in today and let us
fit you up in style and quality clothes at prices that are
the lowest ever offered on merchandise of this quality.
Don’t Delay Another Minute!
Come In Now!
Ask someone who has attended this sale about the
unusually big reduction on high grade winter coats and
dresses. Every garment in stock has been reduced to the
lowest possible figure and the many pretty garments of-
fered affords every lady and child in Olney an opportunity
to purchase coats and dresses of best materials and style
newness at prices that are far below the regular markings.
If you have not already done so, come in and buy one or
two of these pretty garments while this big sale lasts.
Every garment must go and we have reduced prices to
the minimum.
You’ll Have To Hurry!

After having reflected . on the
burdens and anxieties carried by the

of us here in Olney have chosen not
to run for that office this year.

the scriptures for anything but our
own consumption, but we pass the

trying to show how smart he is in
its interpretation.

People will soon be rigging up
their small incubators, or be plan-
ning on taking some eggs to a near
■by custom hatchery or public incu-
bator. It does not matter which plan
of incubation you will follow you are
going to be interested as to whether
the eggs are to hatch or not.
The case of the breeding flock,
is to a large extent responsible for
the hatchability of the eggs. Use
only strong, vigorous hens and males
in the breeding pen.
Allow the entire flock free range,
if your lawn and garden will not do
well with the chickens walking and
scratching on it, then fence the lawn
and garden, but allow the chickens
free range.
As a general rule we recommend
mating one male to 10 or 12 fe-
males in the case of Barred Rocks,
and other breeds, similar in size and
weight. In the case of such small
breeds as Leghorns, Anconas, etc.,
we recommend one male to every 15
to 18 females. Do not use male birds
more than 2 y4ars old.

The aim of the City Nation-
al Bank is to provide an effici-
ent, thorough and comprehen-
sive banking service for individ-
uals and business firms. This

friendly interest and a desire to
serve.
eggs and strong chicks must be fed
a liberal supply of succulent green
food daily. In South Texas oats may
be sown for winter green pasture.
In North Texas and Oklahoma bar-
j ley may be sown for winter pasture.
We also provide a large collard
! patch from which we are gathering
each day, loads of green collard
leaves. When all these fail, it is
necessary to resort to sprouting oats,
which takes time and is troublesome,
yet green food is absolutely neces-
sary for the production of fertile
eggs.
Direct Sunshine
Often poultry raisers have trouble
getting eggs with soft shells on
them, many soft shells being produc-
ed. This is an indication of a lack
of lime in the ration or a lack of
direct sunshine. It is best to allow
direct sunshine to strike the hens
for several hours each day. On sun-
ny days be sure to give the flock an
opportunity to enjoy the sun to the
fullest extent. Direct sunshine will
do much to help produce fertile
eggs and vigorous baby chicks. It
is also a good idea to keep a box
full of oyster shell before the flock
all days. This is important and oys-
ter shell is cheap.
Milk In Ration
If you have any surplus milk, such
as sour milk, skim milk or butter-
milk, be sure and feed it to your
hens. Milk fed to breeding hens will
do much to increase both fertility
and hatchability of the eggs. We
do not know exactly why this is, but
we do know that those flocks getting
plenty of milk to drink, always pro-j
duce better hatching eggs. Even if
your pigs need the milk, experiment-
al data proves you can make more
money feeding this milk to your
hens. Some poultry raisers think so
much of milk, they buy either semi-
solid buttermilk or dried milk. Both
ar$ commercial products and offer-
ed for sale.
