liter Of straw In order to induce ex
ercise.
The final point in this discussion is
the laying capacity of the hen. II all
the three things mentioned above be
properly ATTENDED to, there will still
be u scarcity of eggs unless the fowls
ave the laying capacity and it is no
fault Of the ken if she hasn't; the
trouble goes back TO her ancestors.
This is a question Of hered,ty and If
il be not true that the hen transmits
her laying qualities to her offspring
the laws of Inheritance need revision.
The Oregon experiment station is at
work on this problem now and we
hope in n few years to demonstrate
what function or part breeding or
heredity Plays in filling the egg basket
when eggs are 80 cents dozen. We
have demonstrated, however, that no
amount of skill or care will make
some hens lay. In our experiment we
have found hens that never laid an
egg and they have varied all the way
from zero to about $50 eggs in a year
under similar care and nagemen t.
However, the average farm flock of pul.
let's, treated as outlined above, should
la an average of $50 eggs during the
year even though there are some dead
heads among them. james Dryden,

An Answer to "A PArsnt".

To the Courier: When Prof
Turner took charge Of the high schoo
1t did not amount to anything.
Mainly through his efforts II is now
what 1t is. 1t is we'll equipped, we'll
managed and everything 10 working
in harmony.
! can see no reason why anyone
should have any complaint against
Prof. Turner, his methods, his buhi-
ness, or the high school.
Prof. Turner has won the respect Of
every pupils and student who has besa
under him and why should anyone
wish to make him be disrespeoted
merely because Mr.. Turner'S methods
are . little In advance Of hisf A
parent or q teacher cannot govern
their children or pupils II they are
not respected and loved BY them.
Why break this power which he has
for working for their improvemsnti
Prof. Turner's methods should not b
criticized because he has to conform to
the state school laws and has TO make
the high school to suit the people and
to prepare the students for university
and business college work. His busi-
ness is to attend to the schools and II
he does this 10 suit the majority Of
the citizens. the school board, he
should not be oritized any more than
a business man. Az TO the high
school. there are only one or two
taking three studies. Students who
were not fully prepared when they
entered high school were given this
privilege so that they would noe
have to drop out As to q great num-
ber OF students taking six studies
this would be absurd. because neither
the state school laws nor the univer-
sity preparatory work requires this
and the program could not be- made
for this. This would make tho
student reoite steady for five hours
q day.
For myself. can say that have
known Prof Turner for nearly four
years as q high school student ana
have always respected him. Ihave
found no reason TO disrespeot him or
to find fault with his methods or
business. He has always worked hard
for the school and is especially inter.
ested In the high school. This should
bring forth appreciation and no
criticism. I have found that hard
study 10 necessary 10 accomplish any.
thing. But the high school work
not too hard. l do not claim to be
brilliant scholar. but by study ] have
received above 90 per cent In six
stodies for this first school month.
Still do not think there is any rea-
son why anyone should take six
studies continuously merely TO glorify
the high school.

Then he flied his pipe and, opening his bedroom window, sat down, rest ing his arm oA the sill. A splendid moon silvered the sea. Through the intense stiffness he heard the surf, magnifeently dissonant among the reefs, and he listened, fascinated. loathing the tides as he feared and loathed the memorable tides that surg ed and ebbed with his accursed desire.
 Once he said to himself weakly, for he was deadly tired, What am I making the fight for anyway" And, "Who are you making the fight for?" echoed his heavy pulses.
 He had asked that question and re- ceived that answer before. After all, 1t had been for his mothers sake alone. And now-and now? His heart beat out another answer, and before his eyes two other eyes seemed to open, fearlessly, sweetly, divinely

 Good God. Quarrier," whispered Si- ward with dry lips, what cur you are! What a cur!'
 And long after Quarter had passed the door and disappeared in the corri. dor, Siward stood there, frozen mo- tionless under the icy waves of rage that swept him.
 Toward midnight. seated in his chair by the window, deathly lassitude weighing his heart he heard the steps of people on the stairway, the click of the ascending elevator, gay voices call ing good night, ripple of laughter. tho silken swish of skirts in the corridor, doors opening and closing; then silence creeping throughout the house on the receding heels of departure. For a long while he sat there listening. 1 The cool wind from the ocean blew his curtains far into the room, where they bellied out, fluttering, floating, subsiding, only to rise again in the i freshening breeze. He sat watching Their silken convolutions, stupidly, for i awhile, then rose and closed his win dow, and raised the window on the south for purposes of air.
 AS he turned to adjust his transom, something white thrust under the door caught his eye. and he walked over and drew it across the sill. It i was sealed note, He opened it, reading it as he walked back to the i dropTight burning beside his bed:
 Did you not mean to say goodby? Be- cause 1t is to be goodby for long. long ! time-for all our lives-as long as we live | GooGay-unless you care to say 1t to me.
 He stood studying the note for awhile. Presently, lighting a match, he set fire to it and carried it blazing i to the grate and flung it in, watching | the blackened ashes curl up, glow, whiten and fall in flakes to the hearth. i Then he went out into the corridor and traversed the hall to the passage which led to the bay window. There was nobody there Moving swiftly, he walked the length of the corridor and, halting at her door, knocked once. ] After a moment the door swung open. He stepped forward into the room, closing the door behind him, and confronted the tall girl standing there silhouetted against the lamp behind her
 i You are insane to do this!' she whispered. Il let you in for fear you knock again.
 i T went to the bay window" he said.
 You went too late. l was there an hour ago. I waited. Do you know what time 1t is?"
