AGRICULTURAL.
POULTRY RAISING.

P. II. Jacobs, in Farm and Preside
 Much confusion and dissatisfaction some times result by misunderstanding between breeders and their customers during the selling and buying of eggs of pure-bred fowls at this season. The earli- CT the orders are sent the better, as the breeder must depend upon the caprces of his hens. He cannot compel them to lay, hence the prompt filling Of an order may be beyond his control. As a rule, the breeder fills orders in rota- tion, the first come first served. The breeder is, however, responsible for the proper packing of the eggs and If they are broken by the agents of the express company he should at once refill the or der and look to the express company for damages. The customer buys on the sup position that the breeder knows how to pack and ship, otherwise he should not offer to send eggs to distances, and the customer consequently places confidence in the breeder to insure safe delivery. A flair hatch" is claimed to be seven chicks from thirteen eggs, but if the customer secures a larger number of chicks he is fortunate. Some allowance should be made by both parties for the many diff culties to be encountered. 1t is some what late for ordering eggs, but not too late; therefore, if you contemplate pur- chasing fowls or eggs send a card to the breeder requesting him to book your name. No money is required until the order for the eggs is sent. By booking your name he will be ready to send them whenever required, as he then knows that the order is expected and will prepare for it.

Jacob M. GOrdin, Playwright,
Talks About His Writings
Takes Him Only Six
Weeks to Get Up a
New Production.

Jacob NJ Gordin. author Of "The
Kreutzer Sonata" came TO Washington
yesterday for the purpose of attending
the performance.
Mr.. Gordln is one of the most cele-
brated playwrights in America. He has
been in this country fifteen years and
i'm that time has written eighty-ive
plays. Mr. Gordiu is a guest at the
shOreham, and today talked entertain
ingly OF his plays and methods OF writ
ing them.
II never wrote play until l came to
America fifteen years ago" said Mr.
Gordin this morning. NO. / cannot ex-
actly say that America inspired me TO
write. but it looks that way. doesn't it?
I never thought of writing plays be-
fore that time, and IL is rather a cOinci-
dent that my coming TO this country
marked the beginning Of my career as a
playwright
Play Just Finished.
"In that time I have written eighty
five plays. The last one has just been
finished and will be produced in Jan

reflects the fairy spirit of the mounts
NO. am not a busy man IN spite Of
the fact that I have written so many
plays. You know. after all. it is quality
and not quantity that counts" Mr.
Gordin made the last remark with
something OF a twinkle in his eye. and
with the manifest recollection of the
success OF his many writings
1t usually takes me about SIX weeks
TO write a play, That means that 1

play Is finished. Then 1 take a rest for
several weeks and begin on another
play"
Looks Like Business Man.
This is the way the noted Yiddish
author turns out his stage stories One
would never take Mr.. Gordin for a play
wright. He looks like a successful bus
mess man, one who has made his way
in the world and who enjoys its profits.
He wears a beard. has a benevolent
face and a manner that is almost shy.

Rev. R A. Elwood, pastor Of the Pres
bvterian Church in Leavenworth, Kan,
bss addressed nearly duplicate open letters
~ The candidates for governor of Kansas.
4 short time ago Mr.. Elwood declared in
favor of Harris Democrat. for governor
saving he would enforce prohibition. but
since that time he has decided to ascer-
toin how each candidate. Harris and
Hocb. stands on the prohibition question.
and last Saturday he mailed a letter OF
inouirv to each, copies being published
in the newspapers there.
In the communication to Mr.. Harris
he comments on the fact that there is in
The Democratic platform a declaration
for the enforcement of the prohibitorv
statute. but he notes that Harris. in his
letter of acceptance, made no mention of
this portion of the platform.
Mr.. Elwood says that so per cent of the
conyicts in the state penitentiary come
from the l5 per cent border counties
This may be true, possibly, says the
Ieavenworth Times, but when it is re-
called that the river counties or those
nearby contain from one-third to one
half the population Of Kansas, and in
clude practically all the cities In Kansas

The Times says further: 'The Times
has upon occasion timidly ventured to
state that the prohibitory law was i'm
practicable. and will do il again despite
Rev. Elwoods fierce pronouncement. |
Mr.. Elwood calls attention further to the |
fact that for a certain degree Of murder |
the imposition of the death penalty is still |
possible in Kansas, and he appears to !
lament that because the law is not applied |
literally, the penitentisry is filling with
