The Hen Is Relega ted.

10 ANOtO6
The science of poultry raising has so
developed that it is no lohgcr profit
able to have a hen put in large part Of
the best laying season of the year in
Matching and raising brood Of chick
ems. The up.todate poultryman now
has machine to do that work and
does it better and more economically
than biddy and leaves egg business
and produce thrible the number that
her not distant ancestors did.
A practical demonstration has been
given in egg Matching in the show
window of Cramer Bros. hardware
store that clearly proves that the Pet
aluma incubator will hatch larger
percent of eggs than the average hen.
OF batch of 81 eggs 81 strong. healthy
chicks were produced last Friday and
SATURDAY.. OF batch hatched three
weeks previous 35 chicks were had
from 40 eggs. The Petaluma incubator
is exceedingly simple to operate and
with reasonable care will hatch a
chick for almost every egg placed in it.
The price is so low that every poultry
raiser can afford to have one and the
cost for oil and the time to care for it
is so little that the operating expense
is hardly noticeable. The many
farmers who have bought the Petalum,
incubator aud found it profitable in
vestment is proof of the superiority of
the machine over the hen in chicken
raising. Cramer Bros. have just re-
ceived by special order, the largest
incubator made, having 504 eggs ca
pacity.

Tom nodded. Mr.. Carlton Cross

with very much imagi ration. Later he
had a chance to continue his account
Of very grand reception he had at

the sound Of the young lawyers voice,
but her thoughts were with the drug
clerk. The idea that he. down at the
store, imagined himself in that partic-
ular chair fascinated her. She looked
at the empty rocker. and as the twi-

came less and less interesting. Being
no lover of flowers himself. it did not

We're his rivals.
When Tom came home that night he
found Miss Latch on the porch. She
was still holding the pansies in her
hands. He walked to the chair beside
her.

For long time she was still. Then
she began:

She paused. and Tom leaned toward

the flowers.
'Thisbe," he pleaded softly, do you
care for me:'
The hand he held answered for her.
Tom rose from his chair and kissed the
girl on the lips.

A STUDY OF MUNICIPAL OWNER
SHIP.

Lewiston is one of the few cities in
the northwest that is trying the expert
ment of municipal ownership. The
city owns its own water plant and the
report of the operating department,
from time to time, is full of interest
to the thoughtful citizen. Such a re-
port is now before the public in the
semi annual statement presented to the
city council at its last regular meet
ing.
On the face of Superintendent
Smiths report the department shows a
deficit of $3.50 in the operations of the
last six months. His claim that $4,000
of the $16.266 charged to operating ex-
penses should not be so charged is not
well taken. The plant should pay the
interest on it's bonds and for its repairs,
but need not be charged with it's bet
terments. The $4,000 for interest and
the $1,000 for repairs are correct
charges against the plant but the 49,
900 expended in extending the pipe
lines of the system should be credited
The real deficit then is something over
$1,000 for the last six months of ope-
rating the plant.
This loss is offset as Superintendent
Smith very justly estimates by the use
of free water for city hydrants. city
parks. street sprinkling. etc, aggregat-
ing for year according to Superinten-
dent Smiths estimates, about $4,000,
leaving the balance in favor of the city
and showing the department to be
practically self sustaining.
The problem as to whether the citi-
zens are getting a cheaper service or a
tenn IS not touched upon in the report,
but very significant fact Is suggested
in the assertion that if the wastes of
the present system were checked the
city could show earnings to the amount
Of some $4,000 more than at present.
The waste consists Of the loss occa-
stoned by running water out of hours
where the city is not only robbed of
the service rendered but the general
cost of service to all consumers Is in
creased by the action. The only cor
rection of this abuse is a meter sys-
TEN for every consumer who will then
pay for what he uses and the annual
saving to the city under the Superin-
tendent's showing would soon pay for
the meters and give a surplus which
might later apply to lessen the cost of
service.
