important insurance Ruling
Expected.

Frankfort, KY, March 31.-Insur-
ance Commissioner c. w Bell
will in a few days hand dwono amin
portant ruling on the question OF the
validity of special or board" contract
written by some of the life inusrance
companies doing business in this State
a board" policy or contract is one
where an agent goes 10 town or com
muniy and says 10 one or two influen-
tial men: IF you will help me and
act as an advisory board in securing
about a dozen or more policies my con
pany will give you special premium
rate and certain per cent. of the pre-
miums paid to the company on all flu
ture policies issued in this county will
go TO decrease your premium each
year"
OF course thsi is a good thing for
the dozen or so board" policyholders,
but the other policyholders have to pay
for it in the end,hence a large num-
Der of the companies are trying to have
the practice stopped by the Insurance
Commissioner. There is no specific
law on the subject but the general
law says there shall be no discrimina-
ton in insurance rates. COMMISSIONS
Bell has heard arguments in favor of al
lowing such contracts to be written
and will have the other side probably
tomorrow. Helm Bruce, of Louisville
will make the argument.

ENJOYABLE CONCERT SATURDAY
 EVENING.

The members of the Gem City band did themselves proud at the open air concert given by that organization on Saturday evening in the band stand across from the pOstOffice. Main street was crowded with the many who turned out and listened to one of the very best concerts which has yet been given by the boys.
 New music has been received by the band, as well as two or three members having new instruments Two new recruits have also been added recently and in many ways the organization is being improved and strengthened
 Mesa cannot well afford to be without this Saturday evening at traction. as was clearly evidenced by the fact that so many residents turned out to listen to the concert Saturday evening last, and thus show their appreciation of the united ef- forts Of the organization. It is sin cerely hoped that it will receive lib tral financial support and by this means be placed in a position to con- tinue these concerts.

CLOSING ON SUNDAY
 GOES INTO EFFECT
The Town Has It's First Experience
 With a Dry Sunday.

Tempe had it's first taste of Sunday closing yesterday and apparently, the results were all that could be desired. The day was a decidedly quiet and orderly one and there was noticeable absence of faces that have heretofore been familiar here on Sunday. coming from valley towns where the closing ordinanc went into effect some time lagO.
 The ordinance closing saloons on Sunday in Tempe is given a very lib eral construction. It can heardly be called a closing ordinance for the req son that it does not close; it merely prevents the selling of intoxicating li- 'quors of any kind and there is not a word in it that makes it unlawful for saloon men to keep their places of bus mess open and sell soft drinks and ci- gars if they so desire. This does not dephive the saloon men from their en- tire business on Sunday and it satisfies the desire on the part of the temper ance element to prevent the sale of liquor hence both sides are at least part way satisfied with the ordinance as passed.
 Yesterday some of the saloons were kept open and some were not. It was just as the proprietor felt about the matter, but no liquor was sold. Dur ing the week the following sign was posted in a conspicuous place in each saloon, No liquor sold in this saloon on Sunday, buy your bottled goods on Saturday"
 There is a general feeling that the new rule will be a satisfactory one in all respects and will come as near as possible to pleasing both sides of the question.

qualified if you take them to the show without first going over them with a standard of perfection" So if you are thinking of taking any birds to the show you should beg, borrow or steal a standard" Now a great many will tell you the highest scoring birds at the show are the best layers. l have had that preached to me all my life. There is absolutely nothing in it one way or the other, as far as egg production is concerned. I have been experimenting and testing my hens with trap nests and other wise for a number of years. not .only with one breed but with 6 or 8 different breeds and with several different strains of the same breed and can prove to any intelligent person with my figures I have thus obtained that as far as egg production is con cerned.
 That there is absolutely nothing in breed or score and that it all lays with the strain.
 For instance I have had Brown leg horns that were A No. 1 layers and l have had an other lot from some other source (another strain) that were in ferior. I have had the same experience with Rhode Island Reds, Black Minor cas and Barred Plymouth Rocks. In fact l almost gave up on the latter before I got hold of any that were good enough to keep.
 Now the difference in the strain lies in difference in the methods pursued in breeding. One party breeds hap hazard any old time that a hen sets

A WISE DOG
Caught on the Bridge by Train, He
 Escaped Unharmed.

Billie" the Miller family dog, has demonstrated to the world, that he has most sense than the average canine and as much as some men. When M. G. Hill walked across the M. & P. bridge Saturday evening to read the river gauge, Billie followed as is his usual custom. While on the bridge, a freight train came along and MT. Hill stepped off onto one of the piers, ex- pecting the dog to do the same thing. Billie had a better scheme, though. He quickly flattened himself out on a tie between the two rails and permitted the entire length of the train, the en- zine, nine cars and the caboose, to pass over him. MT. Hill watched the pro-
 ceedure and says that in due time, the dog cooked his eye up to see that the coast was clear and finding that it was he calmly arose as cool as ever and none the worse for the experience.

puts eggs from any of his hens under her and lets her go. His hens although they may be thoroughbred will gradu- ally deteriorate for several reasons, but the main reason is that the trap nests have proven that the inferior layer IS usually doing better work about the natural setting time for hens than the heavy layers who have been supplying the eggs during the winter months. Then there is the fancier who selects his pen according to the standard or perfection. Every bird must reach So Der cent or better. Results. A few or his young will equal and very few eX- cell in points those that he breeds from but because of betting and fussing and unscientific methods there is a slight reduction in egg production. Then there comes the utility poultryman that selects his breeders according to their egg record the preceding year. He will cull out every bird that has not exceeded the average flock by 30 per cent. Only breeding from those of heavy egg production regardless of fancy points. He will secure a few layers equal to his breeders and very few that will excell.
 Should they all take the same stock to start with in five generations or years there is a wide difference. One has some high scoring birds. another has some heavy layers and the third has degenerated both in fancy points and egg production.
