BUCKEYE INCUBATORS
“ The Best Made ”
If you are raising poultry and want to get all the money out of the
business you can, get an incubator. You will save money, time and
trouble by buying a Buckeye.
For twenty-five years this incubator has been in use and is guaranteed
to hatch more clicks and stronger chicks than any other incubator. In
fact, it will hatch a chicken from every hatchable egg.
The Buckeye is a very simple machine, any boy or girl who can read
intelligently can operate it. We have them in three sizes. If you are
in the market for an incubator be sure and see ours—the BUCKEYE.
We have every other convenience for the poultry yard, such as Gal-
vanized Brood Coops, Automatic Feeders and Fountains, Hens Nests,
Nest Eggs, Turkey Bells, Leg Bands, Poultry Punches, Etc.

In Honor of Miss Evans.
At the lovely home of Mrs. J.
C. Ramsey last evening, Mrs. J.
P. Word and Mrs. Ramsey en-
tertained most royally, the
youngefr set, in honor of Miss
Hilda Tuvans, of Tennessee, a
niece of Mrs. Word.
The guests were greeted by
Mrs. Ramsey and formally in-
troduced to the honoree. Mrs.
Roy Walker received the young
ladies upstairs, while Mr. Walk-
er took charge of the young gen-
tlemen, presenting each with a
pen picture of his own likeness.
This created much laughter
among the fairer sex, joining
the gentlemen as they descend-
ed the stairs; but the laugh was
soon turned as Mrs. Ramsey-
passed a tray containing the
young ladies flictufes, portray-
ing their profession. This was
the cue for the young men to
find their partners for the pro-
gressive courtship game which
followed. Among the bevy of
such beautiful young ladies each
young man played most dili-
gently to win the goal. J. B.
Stanton proved his skill in wo-
ing and marrying,, scoreing
highest and was presented with
a beautiful pen picture of a win-
some bride. The handsome
young men inspired the young
ladies to play with equal zest in
winning high score and Miss Ru-
by Colbert proved to be success-
ful, receiving a pen picture of a

Miss Elizabeth To'tfhisen was
awarded as consolation, a pair of

tenced by Dr. Hearne, who
awarded the prizes, to knit the
rest of her life for her influence
toward men. Mrs. Leslie Gor-
don received a package of tooth
picks with the advice to “pick
up”.
During the intermission the
company was delightfully enter-
tained by the talented musicians
among the guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker added
very much to the entertainment
of the evening, especially Mr.
Walker, who proved his ability
as a helper by keeping score and
assisting Mrs. Ramsey in serv-
ing fruit, salad and hot choco-
late to the twenty-two couples
present.
As the guests departed each
expressed their appreciation to
Mesdames Word and Ramsey
for such a delightful evening de-
claring that the event would not
soon be forgotten. X

beautiful sight for the building

school houses.

A Wise Conclusion.
Amending the homestead law
is a perennial subject that bobs
up with recurring sessions of
the legislature. In this connec-
tion it might be added that Tex-
ans will make haste slowly when
it comes to changing the plan of
home-owning that was handed
down to them by fathers who
were wise in their generation.
Permanent ownership of the
farm may be better than tem-
porary prosperity that comes,
from borrowing money.—Deni-
son Herald.
Snap Shots.
Listen, girls: If you marry a
man to reform him it will be on-
ly a little while till he lets you
know that he doesn’t want you
to officiate in that capacity.
Our idea of a model wife is
one who knows a little about
Browning and a lot about bak-
ing.
Moreover, if gasoline goes
much higher it will act as a self-
stopper on our automobile.
Personally we don’t care
much for the German’s kultur,
but we do like their sausage.
