A. PLOT UNEARTHED:
Chelsea independently

Brother Wonser is blowing a lot
about the laying power of a hen he
owns. His little scheme is to jolly
some of us up and then sell us eggs
for Matching. Beware of the Greek
bearing eggs for Matching, fellows. Be
warned by us! We know!
We are conservative man, and not
given to experiments, but we jolly
well remember our experience with
one Of these kedidoes intended to
usurp the functions of nature. We
figured out enormous profits, on paper
to be made in the chicken business.
We purchased an incubator for $50.
We studied it until we knew it from
the inside outside, from the outside
inside, from top to bottom, end to end
from Kennebunkport to Kankakee,
and from Corpus Christi to Yuba Dam.
1t really did seem to us that we knew
all there was to know about that in
fernal contraption. Then we paid SIS
for a batch of eggs. We placed them
in the incubator carefully and accord
ing to directions, and started it going.
We tended that incubator as carefully
as anyone could. We cared for 1t
better than for any boil we ever had;
sleeping or waking it. was always In
our thoughts; it wanted for nothing,
and at the end Of three weeks 1t
matched us out a moderately fair sized

STUDY the PRIMARY LAW.

All candidates and prospective can
didates for nomination should take
warning from the public prints that
we have a state statute regulating pro-
cedure in our primaries now, and its
provisions should be studied. The
law is reasonably plain and explicit
upon almost every point that is likely
to arise. 1t is even complete in many
details, but it is a new law; this is the
initial trial in its experience, and no
one is competent to advise from the
customs of the past. Every candidate
should read the law, paragraph by
paragraph He should then study it's
provisions and make an honest effort
TO comply with them. Not only should
he comply with the law to the extent
of his ability, but he should do what
he can to see that his rivals do the
same. Likewise committeeman and
PARTY managers should study the law
and give it fair trial. A legalized pri-
mary which places nominations in the
hands of the voters direct without the
intervention Of caucuses controlled by
a dozen or more interested partisans is
a great reform in popular government.
It is entitled to the fairest kind of
trial that honest men can give it and
every paragraph in the statute is en-
titled to careful study. Read the pri-
mary law.

second Of which was his fight for the

THE LONE TREE.

Dumont, stands a fine cottonwood
tree, twelve or fourteen feet in Cir

height and spread of branches that

from a seed carried there by the

bird and the first notice taken of it
was when it had grown to the height
of a few feet and when the present
owner of the farm, T. B. Wickham,
was but child. Owing to the
scarcity of timber at that time when
trees grew only along the creeks and
streams, it was allowed to grow un-
molested and being of rapid growth
and in good soil 1t soon attained

peddling fruit trees lacked its lucrative
side in the days when Leslie NJ. Fol-
lowed the business. To borrow hor-
ticultural term, it was u good graft and
fruitful in those days. OF later years
it fell into less capable and conscien-

that is another story. Later, Mr..
Shaw practiced law and dealt in notes
at Denson On the Hill. The earn

profits OF the banker. Like Mr. Phin-
ney's turnip, the fortune grew and it

any rate, Governor Cummins hasn't
made any out of the job. Then Mr..

from Iowa, can match money all day
