friendliest intention. You like to

matically. Mr.. Roosevelt admitted it
But you don't have to go into the
wild West for your sport" went on the
Minnesota statesman. Think OF this
fact: thirteen bears were shot in the
streets OF Duluth last year-in Du-
luth, the pride OF the Northwest, that
beautiful city on the great unsalted
sea-" The statement had perceptible
effect on the President. and Mr.. Bede
was encouraged to go on. ITS the

With the Congressman was Duluth

knowledge OF bear hunting In that
city. She added her corroborative
statement: "Oh. yes. Mr.. President. 2

q noise outside his window. and on
looking out saw that II was bear try

that fellow without leaving his Den-

Err Farms OF California.
By T. F. McGREw.

L.
Many years ago I assisted friend
in the loading Of car of poultry for
California. This car was shipped from
Central Ohio, and the fowls contained
therein were very well selected from
fiocks Of desirable varieties. The
owner Of this car crossed the conti-
nent in care of his birds and settled in
Central California. Reports from
there a few years later told direful
story Of the impossibility of success
in poultry-growing in California.
1t is unnecessary to relate the many
troubles experienced, except to say
that the amateur in poultry at that
time imagined that the birds would
live and prosper in the California eli
mate without proper shelter within
houses during the cold, damp weather.
A close study of these conditions
has entirely eliminated all these mis-
takes, and to-day there is no place
in the United States where there is IN
enthusiasm equal to that found
to this industry.
The construction of proper houses.
the selecting Of proper breeds and the
proper caring for them has built up an
enormous egg business through that
section of the country.
In the neighborhood Of Petaluma.
more Leghorn fowls are probably kept
for producing the white-shelled eggs
for the California city markets than
can be found within the same number
Of miles in any other place In the
world. One enthusiastic visitor to that
locality has made the statement that
every acre in the fifty thousand acres
visited contained n hundred Leghorns.
The climate Of Southern California,
the beauties Of the scenery, the pleas
ure Of fruit cultivation and the profit
able growing of poultry have attracted
many hundreds to that section to en-
bark in these pursuits under pleasant
conditions.
A Mr. BrOwnlow who purchased a
few acres Of ground In that locality
ten years ago has built up for himself,
with the assistance OF his wife and
children, most profitable combination
Of poultry. fruit, bees and squads, all
Of which thrive continually under the
softer climates OF that locality, ena-
bling these people to produce broilers
every month with minimum amount
Of care and attention, the fruit and
bees being a remarkable source OF
profit during the greater part Of the
year.

WHY NOT TAX THE
OLD BACHELORS?
Something Required to Encourage
MatrimonY.
GREAT EXPENSE OF LIVING.

ing Single Carolina flakes
Bachelors Pay Double Poll Tax
and They Kick.

The proposal of a tax on bach.
elors has been often made, but un-
til now the tax has never been lev
led. In Fender county, N. c., the
authorities have forced all unmar-
ried male citizens to pay a double
poll tax, and the A bachelors in
the county are up in arms as a con-
sequence.
A suit has been brought and will
be taken to the higher courts that
the matter may be finally tested.
1t is to be hoped that the tax will
be decided to be constitutional and
lawful, for then it can be levied
everywhere in the country, to the
substantial increase of the revenue
and eventually to the decrease of
bac helorhood, says the Chicago
Journal.
Some measure will have to be
taken to encourage marriage in
this Nation before long, and if the
tax on bachelors will do that it
will be welcomed by all students
of conditions. Whatever be the
Case-Whether it is the increase in
the cost of living, so enormous
during the past few years; or the
influx of women into wage-earnirg
occupations, depriving them Of
their charm Of mystery or the in
crease Of comforts provided every
where for unmarried men-the
fact remains that marriage is not
in as aourishing a condition as
philosophers would like to see it
in the United States.
Even when men do marry they
90 not stick to 1t long, III many
cases. Wife desertion is one of
the most frequent causes of misery
in Chicago and elsewhere, and the
divorce courts are always crowded.
A stiff tax upon bachelors would
help matters greatly, for if a man
found it cost him as much to deny
himself the joys Of matrimony as
it would to keep a wife he would
no doubt cease to resist the de
mands of the instinct which leads
every man to want a home.
He would find a family and add
to the defense of the State, Incl
dentally becoming a better citizen
than he could possibly be as a
single man. But the tax should
be levied not only upon bachelors.
but also upon divorced men and
widowers who have not yet passed
the manageable age. In that
way all classes Of male would con-
tribute either to the revenue of
the country or to the population.
