Egg Items From Exchanges

Every poultry keeper wants hens
that will lay goodly number of
eggs, and the more they lay the
more one wants them to lay. We
receive many letters asking us which
breed lays best, and similar questions
impossible to answer. To develop
laying strain, we must start sever
al years in advance. The work of
one year, or even two, will not ac-
complish our purpose. A system of
selection must be employed-the
layers of this year may be expected
to produce better layers for next
year, and so on from year to year we
can improve the egg-laying capacity
of the flock. No indescriminate Sc
lection or random buying will bring
satisfactory results, and no breed
can be blamed for our own faults.
A billion two hundred and fifty
million dozen eggs were produced
in this country last year. This
means that the hen, the greatest
trust-buster of the age, took fifteen
billion whacks at the octopus in 1906.
So, when you are eloquent about
the splendidness and permanency of
American institutions, don't forget
one the mightiest Of them all.
A Gallatin, Tenn, special says:
Sumner County is sending her sur
plus eggs to Cuba. Last month a
local produce company shipped four
cases of eggs to that island, which
means one hundred and forty-four
thousand dozen. This is but the be-
ginning of their business with Cuba,
as the company mentioned now has
a representative at Havana making
further arrangements.

LILLIAN RUSSELL GROWS COY.

No matter what your recommended

YOU are not interested in an advertis-

vince the Pinkerton man on duty in
the hall outside the Russell apart
ments. the Russell maid, the Russell
secretary and finally Miss Russell her
self.
The espionage grows out of the an

subjected at her hotel in Chicago the
day after her premiere as a comedi-

upon her. seeking permission To use her

Finally the ban of prohibition was
posted at the office and Miss Russell
was beginning to breathe freely when

through from the fire escape and greet

HE KNEW LINCOLN.

OF all the stories Of Abraham Lin
coin none j. more humanity interesting
than that now told FOR the first time
by Ida VI. Tarbell in the American Ma
gazine for February.
1t seems that among the many old
associates Of Lincoln from whom Miss
Tarbel got material for her Life OF
Lincoln" was a man who was a towns
man and friend Of the President from
the first days Of his appearance as a
lawyer in Springfield To the end Of his
life. In the long and intimate CONVEX
sations which Miss TaTbell had with
this man he reviewed his whole ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Lincoln. and gave
i'm a quaint and original way his i'm
pressions Of him. These impressions
are recorded by Miss Tarbell in the
mans own language.
Did know Lincoln Well | should
say. See that chair there? Take it, set
down That's right. Comfortable, amt
it? Wen. sir. Abraham Lincoln has set
in that chair hours, him and Little
Doug and Logan and Judge Davis. all
Of 'em. all the big men in this state,
set i'm that chair"
This is the way Billy Brown began
to tell his story to Miss Tarbell and
Miss TarbeH passes it on just as Billy
told it.
Mr.. Lincoln was always here. Come
and set by the stove by the hour and
tell stories and talk and argue. He
traded here. I've got his accounts now.
See here. quinines quinine, qUinine.
Greatest hand to buy quinine YOU ever
seen. Give it to his constituents"
Then follows the story Of Lincoln's
life-just as it appealed to a plain man.
1t pictures the surprise Of Lincoln's
fellows at his growing greatness. and
their bewiderment at his election TO
the Presidency. their pride in having
presidential candidate among them,
their grief at his going away. their
broken hearts when ne returned.
one of the most interesting parts Of
the story is the account Of the trip Billy
made to Washington to see the Presi-
dent. Il come to see YOU. Mr.. Lincoln

value, for the law merchant holds
that one who issues negotiable in
strument and negligently leaves
blanks that may be easily filled out
without detection Of the fraud, the
maker of such instrument, because of
his negligence, would be bound to
pay the full amount of the fraudulent
altered instrument, If it is found in
the hands Of bona fide purchaser,
for value and without notice of the
fraud.
Undoubtedly there was negli-
gence on the part of the directors of
the Old Town district in permitting
these warrants to be issued as they
were, and if they were negotiable in
struments in the full sense Of the
form the district would be bound to
pay them, even in their altered form.
However, the supreme court OF
the United States in the case OF Wall
against Monroe county CLOS U. s..
page 74) has held that county war
rants, although in form negotiable.
are not negotiable in the sense OF
the law merchant, so as to shut out,
in the hands Of bona fide purchasers,
inquiries as to their validity, or pre-
clude defenses or set-offs which
could be made to them in the hands
of the original parties.
again, the supreme court Of the
state of Washington in the case Of
Bardsley VS.. Sternberg (17 Wash
ington, page 243) holds that the
warrants issued by city are not ne
gotiable in the sense of excluding
inquiry into the legality Of their is
sue or of excluding defenses thereto.
and a subsequent holder does not
occupy the position of an innocent
purchaser.
This ruling is again sustained by
the supreme court of Washington in
the later case OF Fidelity Trust COM
pany VS.. Palmer (22 Washington
page 475.)
"This law is applicable to warrants
of school districts as we'll as to
county and city warrants. 1t is be.
lieved, therefore, that If the banks
of North Yakima bring suit against
the county treasurer, as threatened,
that they cannot prevail, as it will
be competent for the district to show
by way Of defense that these war
rants have been fraudulently altered,
and those who have purchased them
must be deemed to have taken them
subject to all defenses as to the le-
gality of their ISSUE"

Local market prices remained
practically the same as for some time
past. Shipments are moving regu-
larry, but prices remain firm. The
potato market is little firmer this
week than last, but no change in
the price has taken place. The COM
mission men are paying a little more
for the best quality potatoes this
week than last, but the price of low
grade stock is the same. 1t is ex-
pected that large number Of ship
ments of potatoes will be made with
in the next few days to the Sound
and eastern points.
The hay market is a little weaker
this week. Alfalfa has taken drop
in price. The dealers are only pay.
ing $11 per ton for alfalfa. Other
hay prices remain unchanged.
Starting with the first Of March
the commission houses commenced
shipping apples to eastern points,
and from now on they will make
shipments regularly. Shipments have
been made more or less during the
past few months, but to other ware
houses on the Sound; shipments for
market commencing the first OF
March.
The commission houses have
large supply Of apples in storage, and
when heavy shipments are called for
they will be able to meet the de-
mand.
Indications point to an increase in
the price of eggs today. The price
was reduced the first of last week.
and since then the dealers have been
paying 10 cents per dozen and retail
ing at 20 cents. An increase of s
cents per dozen is looked for today
Following are the local market
prices:
