MADE A MESS oEIr

The minister had just finished little
opening talk to the children, prepar-
atory to the morning service, when
Mrs. Berkeley suddenly realized that
she had forgotten to turn off the gas
from the oven in which she had left
a nicely-cooked roast, all ready for the
final reheating.
Visions of ruined dinner and a
smoky kitchen reused her to immediate
effort, and, borrowing a pencil, she
scribbled a note. When her husband,
an usher in the church, passed her
pew, she thrust the note into his hand.
He, with an undo -st anding nod, turned,
passed up the aisle, and handed the
note to the minister.
Mrs. Berkeley saw the act in speech
less horror, but her dismay was fully
equaled by the look of amazement and
wrath on the good mans face as he
read the words, GO home and turn off
the gas!"-Lippincott' Magazine.

WOn1an'S Clubs Invade TOki

members heard somewhat radical ad-
dresses by American women. Mrs.
Maude Wood Park of Boston, the we'll
known eloquent exponent of woman
suffrage, made a brilliant speech, as
did Miss Flora E. Strout, the New
Worlds w. c. T. A. missionary to
Japan, whose subject was scientific
temperance instruction. These ad-
dresses were preceded by talk on lit
erature by japanese gentleman, au-
thor and critic The American speak
ers were presented with the club badge
and given a very hearty invitation to
speak again before the club, showing
that their advanced ideas had met
with hospitable reception by the Jap
anese women of the highest class.
The Japanese Ladies' Educational as
soclation publishes a magazine In
which are printed all the speeches
made at the club meetings-something
which is done by few, if any, local
women's clubs in the United States.

VASSAR GIRLS WORK

Crystal Eastman, graduate of Vassar,
is doing a mans work-and the work
of a great man.
When she went to Vassar college
from her home in Elmira, N. Y, she
became interested in the course in So
ciology. She was one of the most at
tractive girls in her class, but she dis
regarded all social temptations, and
as soon as she graduated she went out
into the world to find out how she
could help to make it better. She took
up the work with the Russell Sage
foundation.
She went to Pirtsburg and studied
the workmen there. She found that
employers were not caring for injured
employees. By living in the homes of
toilers she gained vast information re-
garding this evil that shed new light
on the terrible conditions which ex-
listed in the great city of furnaces and
rolling mills. A pamphlet which she
published on this theme attracted gem
eral attention.
Her latest honor is to be appointed
by Gov. Hughes of New York on a
special state commission to investigate
the causes of unemployment. On this
commission with her are John Mitchell,
labor leader: Henry r. Seager, pro-
fessor of political economy at Colum-
bia university and president of the
American Association for Labor Legis-
lation, and other industrial students
They look to Miss Eastman for much
Of their information.
Regarding the liability of employers
TO injured employees, Miss Eastman
writes that we must adopt the "princi-
pie that an employer insures his work.
men in a limited amount against loss
from all accidents in the course of
work, except those due, solely to the
conscious. willful fault of the injured.
An employer therefore, would be
liable for compensation to all his
workmen injured just as he is liable
for wages to all his workmen."

OBITUARY

Gladys Flynn, the sixteen year
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F.
Flynn of North Yakima died at the
home there Monday morning after
short illness. Mrs. A. Kolb was
summoned by telephone by her
brother, Mr.. Flynn and went at
once to North Yakima to assist in
the arrangement and be present at
the funeral. The many friends
and acquaintances of Mr.. and Mrs.
Flynn and family, who knew them
when they were residents of Kenne-
wick, extend sympathy to them in
their sad loss. Her death was a
great surprise and shock to the rel
atives here as Mrs. Kolb had visit
ed the family in North Yakima
about two weeks ago and Gladys
was in the best of health at that
time.

PROFIT FROM POULTRY

Pou!trymen estimate that it costs
l cent apiece to produce an egg.
The estimate is based on the fact
that the hen lays 120 eggs in year.
In other words, where the fowls are
confined to runs the feed must be
purchased, its costs 10 cents a
month Or 81 20 year to maintain
a hen. If the hen is an Indifferent
layer and gives but sixty eggs year
her eggs cost the poultryman 2 cents
each.
An experiment conducted by the
Cornell experiment station in 1902
showed that the average cost of
feed for dozen eggs was go cents,
or about 3-4 Of a cent an egg. The
cost for each hen for the year was
96.6 cents. At that time wheat
was sold at $1.45 per hundred
pounds, while at the present time
it is So; bran sold for $1.35 hun
dred pounds and it is now 80;
and meat scraps cost S2.15 a hun
dred pounds and we now pay 50. 40
So at the present increased cost of
feed the cost of feeding a hen is
easily 20 cents a year more than it
was in 1902.
To make poultry profitable on
the farm it is necessary to breed for
better laying. This is done by in
stalling trap nests in the henhouse
and each year picking out the best
layers and breeding only from such.
The farmer must grade up his
stock. He must get rid of the
mongrcl birds; he must drive out
the drones, and must encourage
the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more of it.
There are advantages on the farm
for poultry raising that the poultry
man does not have, and if the lat
ter, in many ways handicapped,
can make poultry keeping a success
full business, the farmer should
make. the work a valuable adjunct
to his income. Properly managed,
poultry can be made the most pro-
ftable crop on the farm-invest-
ment, expense and work considered.
1t is argued by some farmers that
their hens cost them practically
nothing, as they have free range
and can gather all the food they
need. There is also some truth in
that, and there is also some truth
in the fact that farmers f1ocks sell
dom yield a profit compared with
stock in the hands of a regular
poultryman.

ALFALFA FOR DAIRY COWS

After completing special study
Of the values of alfalfa as a feed for
dairy cows. D. H. Otis, professor
of animal nutrition at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, has made a report
An experiment which he conducted
shows that young cows not giving
milk can be kept in good condition
during the winter and gain from
1.25 to 1.5 pounds per- day when
fed nothing but alfalfa hay.
In composition, alfalfa is near
ly, if not quite, equal to bran pound
Tor pound" said Professor, Otis, dis
cusslng its nutritive value. The
excellent feeding value of alfalfa
lies in its high content of digestable
protein. With an average yield of
four tons, alfalfa will produce $50
pounds Of digcstible protein per
acre. If this amount of protein is
supplied from oil meal, which is
usually purchased for its protein
content, it would require 1.5 tons,
which would cost at present So 30.

ROCK CRUSHER ARRIVES

The rock crusher which was pur-
chased some time ago by the Com
missioners for Benton county in
Portland arrived Sunday and was
brought up town for the inspection
of those interested. The machine
proved to be quite a load as it
weighs seven tons. The crushe1
is manufactured by the Indiana
Road Machine Co. and cost $500.
The steam road roller, used as a
traction engine will furnish the
power to run it. The crusher is
mounted on trucks so that it can be
conveniently moved from one part
of the county to the other wherever
the rock quarries may be found suit
able for the work.

BILLY" SUNDAYS WORK

Billy" Sundays evangelistic
methods are bizarre at times, and
some of his expressions shock people
of refinement, but The Spokesman
Review is convinced that he is a
man of fine zeal and inspiration,
engaged in work that must be pro-
ductive of great good.
Everywhere Mr.. Sunday goes he
brings under the spell of his Jealous
preaching thousands of people who
could not be reached by the stand
ard methods of mission work. With
power and effectiveness he searches
out the sins and vices of the people
and by plain and pointed speaking
makes thousands ashamed Of their
mean acts and weaknesses.
The beneficial effects of Mr.. Sun
days work will not be measured by
!! the number Of his professed con-
verts. A host of good people, in
the church and out, will be moved
by his vigorous warfare on vice and
wickedness to lead still better lives;
and many others who, like Agrippa
under the preaching Of Paul, are
almost persuaded" will be driven
by his pulpit thunderings into lines
of thought which must be helpful to
themselves, their friends and neigh
bors.
When all has been said that can
be said upon the subject the fact
will remain that Mr.. Sunday wages
splendid warfare npon vice and eyil
and at the same time is exaltinp
righteousness in the home, in kasi'
ness and in the public service.
Attempts to picture Sunday IS 3
mercenary are altogether unjust
Whatever he may receive as merit
ed compensation for his work will
be given in the voluntary spirit, and
even that he never asks until the
last day of his evangelistic efforts in
a community. He lays no obliga-
ton upon the people who bring him
to city to pay him a cent until he
has been tried out by protracted
ordeal, and even then he leaves il
to the judgement of his hearers tt
determine what that compensation
shall be. That is clean cut and fail
and should be above criticism -
