They are as follows: Whereas. The people of this com munity have been blessed with the greatest revival of religion in the his tory of the town, now 100 years old; and. Whereas Under God, one of the thief factors in bringing about this J lemarkahle condition was the wisdom | of our udges in refusing licenses to sell intoxicating liquors in the town; and, j Whereas, This refusal has resulted i in the awakening of the moral and re- I ligious consciousness of the community ; to the betterment of our people in I every respect during the past year; ] therefore, i Kirst. be it resolved, that we extend ; to our udges. Messrs. Seibei t, Wox and Bernheisel. our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for this encouragement to the welfare of the town: Second, bo it resolved, that we call their attention to the good results that have come to use, in that this year has marked a greater public spiirt in pub lic and private welfare than in any jfar known to us; that public play grounds. equipped with various appa ratus for exercise and recreation, have been established in tile town; that a large and representative club of men las been organized, hmolding public lectures on practical themes of social betterment, with reading rooms and • ■tiler apparatus; that a public fountain has been placed in our public square; i hat a community tree was held at Christmas time, attended by great throngs of people, and that the poor ■were well remembered; that more money, food and clothing have been I civen to the poor in our town this war tlian in any previous year, and that I without regret, knowing that it would | not be used for liquor as in other year, and so discourage benevolence: "that our police officer has been laid off duty for many months from lai k of employ, nient; that we have had no use for our . town jail for months at a time, save to grant a night's lodging to some man | nut of work: that during these hard tim«w no store or factory has departed | from us, as in other years, nor has one <.f them had occasion to shut down: t hat a number of houses, churches ami I other buildings have been repainted. I ivpaired and improved: that a new gar pk* has been built and the sale i«f auto mobiles has been uninterrupted: that the disrlay of farm an.l orchard this V»r has been the best in all our his tory; that theer have not hern those disgraceful street brawls which a vear ago took place every Saturdav night resulting in broken heads or broken v. indows or broken teams going home 1< farmhouses without drivers or witli «>• the merchandise for which tliev that hundreds of dollars which ! lit year passed across the bars of our V-Ms for liquid folly have this year | • .»ed across counters for lasting re-i lirns; that our people In everything show a spirit of aggressiveness ami enterprise in place of the old spirit of depression and hopelessness; Thirr, he It resolved, that we urge rur udges to give us further help in this matter, that our town shall not only be thus cleaner and better in its main channel, but that the borders round about our community he cleansed nlso.

Hicks Manager of Rancocas Poultry Farms, Browns Mills, X. J., and for mer president of the American Poul try Association. COPYRIGHT. 1915. Poultry organizations, local and na tional, have a distinct function to per form. The poultrymen of a commun ity usually combine for tlio promotion of annual shows and for an exdiange of ideas. Every progressive poultryntan should avail himself of such oppor tunities. Every industry must have some controlling body—an organization to further and promote its interests. The lawyers have their liar associa tions, the merchants their boards of trade, the teachers their teachers' as sociations. the laboring man his local labor union, acording to his trade. Hence, it is necessary that the poul try interests also have their local and national organizations. The poultrvmen of any community have the right to organize a local or ganization, and these local organiza tions, in turn, have the privilege of {joining the national organization. lx>cal poultry organizations are j formed usually for two purposes, or i for a combination of these two pur i poses:—first, for promoting and hold ing an annual poultry show for com- I petition, to display birds and compete for prizes; second for the exchange of ideas and for the mutual discussion | and development and the considera- I tion of subjects that are of Interest to ! poultrymen. The majority of the lo cal organizations combine these two i purposes. | As annual meetings and shows are j held only once a year the interest in I local poultry organizations is likely to sag unless monthly meetings are held. iat which subjects of poultry interest j are discussed: not only by local mem ; bers, but, in addition, by outside poul trymen. As one poultryman could j not himself afford to have the benefit |of outside visitors and speakers, it is only through the local organization that such speakers can be secured at a reasonable expense. Poultry experts from the agricul tural colleges are often secured to lec ture on poultry topics at these local | monthly meetings, and give timely j advice and suggestions. Maintain Libraries ! Many poultry associations also | maintain a public library for their members. Poultry books, like all spe cialty books, arc costly, and the indi vidual poultryman can hardly afford !to buy an extensive library, but ! through the local association a good | library on a wide range of topics can i be secured at a reasonable assessment [from each member. From S4OO to I SSOO is required to purchase a re ; spectable poultry library, and the ! average poultryman would hesitate to put this much money into books, even though they are the guideposts to success. Yet an association of two hundred and fifty members, by assess ing each member two dollars for li brary purposes, can secure an excel lent library without any individual member contributing an amount that would hurt financially. Where the lo jcal poultry association holds a show, 'of course the member who is public | spirited enough to contribute by join litig is helping in a good cause. With |out the local organization it would be ; impossible to hold a local poultry | show. While this is of indirect bene : fit, yet it is a benefit that iB to be considered, because the local poultry show helps the local poultryman by ! developing a local poultry interst. Local organizations are valuable to 'small poultry breeders because the or iganization bands the local poultrymen 'together, and in this community of in terests develops many ideas that are ! profit-bearing. As a result of this spirit some of the most noted poultry centers in the United States largely grew out of development work done by local poultry associations. A large saving in the cost of feed and other supplies can be made by co-operation among the members in loeal organizations. I Co-operation in the marketing of , eggs is also another benefit to be de rived through local organizations. Some States are thoroughly organized hind have a specified dealer to whom [shipments of eggs and poultry prod ucts can be made, thus obtaining for the members a higher price for their products than if sold on the open market. Where this method is prac ticed it requires that the members produce a high standard article that will lie in good demand on th« mar ket. !. Value of Catalog* Loral organizations usually publish an annual catalog, giving a list of their members, and this ha* an adver tising vaiuft for the member, because it is widely circulated locally, and having his name, address and breed listed is a means of giving him favor able publicity. The local organiza tion can do much in the way of sug gestion among individual members as to the most valuable and economical means of publicity. If one member has found a certain medium of ad vertising profitable he feels willing to communicate it to his fellow-member In return for the experience of the other party. The local associations have the privilege of joining the national or ganization, known ns the American Poultry Association. The majority of HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH poultry associations belong to this na-j tional body. The show rules under which all shows are held are formulated by this national body and the local associa tions, in turn,' have the privilege of j holding shows under these rules. Any disputes arising under these j rules are subject to appeal to the na tional organization. In tliis manner j each member of a local association is| assured of protection by the highest) and unbiased authorities. National Organizations In addition, the member of a local organization can join the national or ganization individually. This gives him standing and prestige with the general poultry public, as it is the policy of the national organization to admit to membership only those who have been recommended by respons ible parties. The national organization publishes an annual report in which all the members in good standing are listed. As this report goes to nearly all the leading poultrymen in the country it proves a valuable means of publicity. The national organization also of fers diplomas and silver and gold medals at all shows conducted under | its rules. These prizes are competed for by members of the national body. The grand gold medal, valued at S2O, is quite a choice priz« and is hotly contested for each year. If in his dealings with the other members of the national body disputes arise, these disputes can be settled through a committee of the national) organization. This is a protection to j both the buyer and the seller, and is! a means of settling cases of misrepre- j sentation and misunderstanding. As; a large part of the buying and selling j of high-priced exhibition and breeding! stock and hatching eggs is conducted by mail, misunderstandings are likely to arise, and tills means of settling disputes among the members of the fraternity is a valuable means of pro moting harmony. For each variety of fowl there are one, and sometimes two or more sepa rate organizations known as Specialty Clubs. These clubs are admittedly for the promoting ot' the particular breed for which they are organized. They charge a small sum for annual mem bership, and in return publish a list of the members in their annual year book. This annual year book is de voted largely to articles of interest to breeders of that particular variety, and, together with the publishing of the member's name and address, is a valuable asset. ■ Market Eggs and How to Get Them The production of good market eggs is up to the poultryman proper, lie must see that ihey are fresh when shipped and of good si'/.e and color, so far as he can control those qualities. Besjt prices are secured in New- York, though all large cities are splendid conjnjmers. If white eggs are preferred in some markets, as is the case, the producer must con sider that fact. But most impor tant is the freshness of the eggs. The condition of the poultryhouse, the regularity of collections, feed ing. etc., all have a bearing on the quality of eggs. A high authority has written on this for next week's article. Look for it next week, appearing exclu sively in the Telegraph. | f \ Homer Pigeons Four hundred Homers for sale —reasonable offer will not be re fused. or will exchange for pullets or 2-year-old hens.

I Yokohamas were originated in that; land where the natives delight in pro- 1 during extremes in plants and poul-1 try—Japan. It is probable that their! first importation to England was from | Yokohama and they were conse quently so named. This is an Orien- j tal game, bred especially for its great i length of tail, and in Japan these tails | reach the length of eighteen feet. At least two photographs, made in Japan, have been produced, one showing a I tale of eleven feet six inches in length, i and the other eighteen fee.t. Such I tails are never seen on the specimens! exhibited either in America or Eng- 1 land, but they are often shown with i from three to six-foot tails. This ex treme tail development is confined en- j tirely to the males, although the fe-1 males have extra long and profuse tail ' feathering, not exceeding that of a i good.Leghorn hen to any great extent. I Yokohamas are not bred extensively f (* Eggs hatch better if the hens are in t, \ perfect condition. 11 prat£s> Vv. Poultry Regulator mu.v pays big the year 'round.

The chief reason is that their ' main use is as an ornamental fowl for a eountr.v gentleman's home, but their | utility qualities cannot be mentioned. | The hens are rather poor layers of Ismail eggs. It is also very difficult to keel) the fowls and prevent the mag j niflcent long tail plumage of the males from being broken before attaining: its | greatest growth. Males do not de velop their greatest length of tail un til their third year. ■ These fowls are bred in four colors, | silver and golden duckwings, spangle jand whites and are rated as a very j hardy and vigorous fowl. They do [ best where they can get good free ! range, the exercise and natural feed | doing much to keep their plumage | brilliant, which is not the case when j they are confined to yards. Yarding I also breaks the tails of the males. At the present time these fowls are ! rare, hard to obtain and command 1 good prices. Keep Your Poultry .
