' The King's Daughters, a social society of the Presbyterian Church at Burnt Cabins, held a banquet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Doran on Saturday evening, January 1, 1916. " At 8 o'clock, the hostesses with their guests, assembled in the dining room where the they found a most inviting table awaiting them. The eight cours es were well sandwiched with music and toasts. Rev. Warren J. Kauffman, toastmaster be hevmg it to be proper for the ladies to hear some laudable com ments upon themselves, called on several or the young men to respond to the toast "A Real Lady." The toasters, however, didn't fail to take advantage of the occasion to turn the tables upon the toastmaster and some of the younger couples. The entire evening seemed to be in harmo ny with the proverb "Eat drink (water and coffee) and be mer ry." And should all those pres ent not have had this proverb in mind, they did at the tables, at least give a vivid illustration of their appreciation of having been accorded the pleasure of being one of the 46 who were as fol lows: Mesdames, A.

Secret of Poultry Success. . A larm woman recently gave me the secret of her success with poultry by saying that she car ried the key to the granary, says one of the farm advisers of the Department of Agriculture. Be fore she got a key of her own the hens did not pay. ii more larm women had a key to the granary, more farm flocks would be profitable," says the farm ad visor. ' 'Lack of feed is more responsible for poor lay ing than all else. With all the grain the fowls can eat twice a day, and a box with a dry mix ture of dried beef scrap or tank age and wheat bran in equal parts, placed where the fowls can always help themselves, farm flocks pay a profit regardless of breed or variety. Let the birds run out every day if they care to go out Shut in one day and let out the next is bad practice. Birds soon learn to stay in when they should be in even when the door is open." We had a very agreeable call from our friend Ed Buckley on Tuesday. He is visiting his fath er Hon. S. L. Buckley ' at . Fort Littleton, and his father-in-law, Geo. W. Doran at Burnt Cabins. A few years ago he went to Col orado, hit a town that had just begun to sprout nicely, went in to the mercantile business, and, both the town and his business have developed at a rate that on ly western people know anything about Ed is a good fellow, and is deserving of his full share of success.
