Mr. Rady said from the view point
of a civil engineer, Caldwell has
moved forward and is still moving
forward and is ranking high among
a majority of the small towns of this
section. He mentioned water, power,
sewage and paving, all of which have
gradually come to our city. He -aid

Mr, Hughe-, told of th- size of the

tremendous cost, and because of the
coat, private corporations can now un-

He said the dam is one of the most

A good turn out was present at the
meeting. Lion Hassler was chairman

Early Easter
Services
At N:.t() o clock Easter morning the
Lutherans plan to gather at then
church tor a short service with which
to usher in the Easter Day. Since
there «ill be no Easter service at the
church until the evening at 8:00
o'clock this service will be held in
order to set u festival spirit for the
day. The orchestra will open the ser-
vices with a suitable selection, "Easter
Morn." The mixejJ choir, with orches-
tra accompaniment will sing, "Hail,
Glad Easter Morning." There will be
singing by the assembly, a few words
by the pastor, the great Euster
message will be read, a prayer, a
"Festival March" by the orchestra,
and thus the glad Eaater Day
have been suitably ushered in.

Many American farmers, who long
-ince recoganized tractors and
electricity as efficient farm assist-
ant- are still using stone age methods
-o far as their poultry flocks are con-
cerned, according to a recent Inter-
national Baby Chick Association sur-
vey.
Poultry is not returning its proper
profit on many farms through lack
of sanitation, and lack of properly
bred flocks, it was found.
This latter difficulty is rapidly be-
ing corected through the fact that
farmers have begun to realize that
better stock, capable of producing a
profit for their owners, can be se-
cured through the large hatcheries.
These hatcheries, in turn, have organ-
ized under the slogan, "Hatchery
Chicks for Greater Profits," to pledge
better chicks and fair dealing, in
order 'to place farm flocks in a
position to reap the profits which the
poultry business holds.
The matter of sanitation, however,
is causing difficulty, the investigators
discovered.
"We cannot but marvel again and
again as we see flock after flock of
pure-blood fowls kept in the most
primitive lashion. ami under the most
unsanitary conditions," the association
says. "It is our observation that the
breeding qualities of our poultry in
our average American barnyard flocks
are far in advance of the methods
used in their care, housing, and feed-
ing. As a result, the average Ameri-
can owner of a flock of chickens has
spent all too much time fighting
disease of one kind or another, rather
than adopt a program of sanitation."
Proper sanitation is poultry houses,
a system of yards and runs whereby
each one can be rested and turned to
a green crop once each year, and the
importance of raisim chicks on fresh
ground that has been under cultiva-
tion, are stressed by the association
as being as fundamental to success
with poultry as sunshine itself.
o
Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Woodson and
Mr. J. R. Woodson are in Dallas at-
tending a lumbermen's convention this
week.
The annual spring clean-up com-
paign is scheduled to commence early
Monday morning over the city, and
all property owners are solicited to
join in the mov<> and assist in ridding
the municipality of all old rubbish,
trash, etc., that might be laying
around. The city will place a num
ber of wagons on Tuesday to haul the
refuse matter to the city dumping
grounds. The wagons will wait un-
til Tuesday in order to give every one
fully one day in which to gather their
trash before hauling commences. They
will make the rounds about four days,
up until Friday night, if there is
sufficient trash on hand at that time
to justify them working.
The City Council asks every one to
commence in time so the was .ns will
not be required to make any more
rounds than are nece -sary on order to
reduce the expense as much as
possible. To keep going ov< ? and
over the city every day makes the
work quite unsatisfactory. There are
many places to visit and all who place
their trash out where it can be - icked
up easily will be accomodated.
The plan is to have some inspectors
on the job this year to make sure
that the city is well cleaned ¡x*fore
the warm weather. Harmon Priebe
will have charge of the wagons, and
ho will be very glad to see that; every
one is reached. The campaign will
run from Monday morning until Fri-
day evening.
