This Is Advice of Poultry Expert to the Citizens
of Greeley

Every family IN Greeley should
have it's own egg supply.
This is the statement of a repre-
sentative of The Western .-oultry
World who was in Greeley during
the present week investigating the
poultry industry in this section of
the country. This poultry expert
declares it is easy for each family
to have its own egg supply without
An outlay of money for anything
except the first provisions for a coon.
He says the scraps from the average
family tables will maintain enough
chickens to supply lne family with
eggs the season round.
Happy indeed is the man who
has his own vine and fig tree and a
Aock of hens in his back yard and
can every morning at breakfast
should he SO desire, feast on eggs

order that he and his family and his
secretary. J. b. Knight. might profit

But, Discovering Fraud, Exposed the
scheme-Declares President Used
All His Power to Destroy Him, But
He is Still unscathed.


Declaring the president had been
actuated by motives OF malice and re-
venge In attacking his course in con-
nection with the Coos Bay. Ore. land
grant. Senator Tillman. OF South Caio.
lima. from his seat In the senate replied
to the accusations OF the chief execu-
tive. His speech was read frCm manu-
script and was characteristic mix
ture Of argument and lnvective. The
senate chamber was packed with spec
tators to hear him.
In opening. Mr.. Tillman said that
for the first time senator had been
brought before the bar of public opin-
ion on an indictment presented by the
president OF the United States. In this
case the chief executive was animated
by malice, desire for revenge. and an
endeavor to destroy him.
The president. he said. was an adept
at advertising and had used the Amer
lean press with more still than any
man In American politics. Realizing
the Importance OF getting In the first
blow the president hit him below the
belt on Saturday. The attack on him.
Mr.. Tiliman declared. was primarily
for the purpose of distracting the at
tention OF the public from the main
Issue. which was between the house
of representatives and President
Roosevelt. In preparing the indict-
ment the president had exhibited the
utmost skill and In II the utmost cum
ming. considering that he had been in
possession of all the facts since last
July.
Mr.. Tillman said he had made no
secret OF his desire to buy the lands
in Oregon II they were as represented.
and had talked to the attorney general
and lawyers OF the land Office about 1t
In his quest for information as to the
legal status of the titles. In the pecu-
liar circumstances which caused him
to denounce Dorr tan Oregon real es-
tate AGENT. not knowing that he was
connected In the land business wit
the attorneys with WHOM Senator Till
man was negotiating, the senator said
that perhaps he had been disingenu.
GUS. but no honest minded man would
consider that he had meant to be un-
truthful or to conceal anything. The
senator pointed to his long service as
public servant, and asked II there
