The Valentine Reception.

The Valentine reception given by
the ladies of the Broadway Methodist
church Friday was a splendid success
in every way. Notwithstanding the in
element weather the majority of the
ladies' of Ardmore were out
and most warmly welcomed by
the hospitsble hostess Mrs. w.
n. Poland and the reception
committee. The atmosphere within the
pleasant home was as balmy as May,
the open fires giving bright home
like glow. All who tried the tree of
fate were pleased with their fortune
The dining-room was beautifully ar
ranged and the seven charming young
ladies' dispensed dainties from their
heart-shaped tables. presenting each
guest with a heart souvenir.
The young people held full sway in
the evening and enjoyed themselves as
only young people can. The mandolin
club gave several very pretty selec
tions. Miss Smith gave two fine read
ings and there was other music which
all enjoyed. Altogether we vote ST
Valentine a charming old saint.

Eggs and Hens.

c. c. Sherwood, president of the Eu-
reka Egg Keeper company Of Kansas
City was in Ardmore yesterday. Mr..
Sherwood is an expert extractor and
has secured the following results
from "A close research of the United
States census of 1890. He says
Taking the year 1890 there were
2S4,00O,O O00 hens in the United States,
and that they produced ten billions of
eggs, the bulk of which, II placed in
one pile, would be forty times greater
than this earth, the value of which
would maintain the United States
army.
The chickens OF 1900 weighed 92l,-
715 tons and as comparison, we
might state that the United States
navy. big. little and all kinds of war
ships, weighed only 1884 tons. If all
those chickens were made into one
immense chicken. the Atlantic ocean
would appear to him as mere mud
puddle, and standing erect his head
would reach half way to the moon, a
distance OF 10000 miles.
The American hen is the greatest
OF birds-plain, plump and symmetri-
cal-the real bird of paradise. creating
a heaven on earth for men.
III all the hens in the United States
were to be transferred in one day, n
would take almost all the 132S, ,0S4
freight cars in the United States to
move them.
Lucky it is that the hens are not
drinkers OF alcoholic liquor, for the
years supply would vanish before
them in less than an hour, not being
hardly two drinks all around.
"The value Of the eggs Of 1900, at
l6 cents per dozen, was SlSS,0OO.OO
These figures all seem enormous,
but II we We're all better posted we
would be wiser When we stop to
think that a hogshead of a,r is breath
ed into and out of our stomachs every
minute, no wonder We are lost when
We think of the egg question. Egg
