STORY READS WELL,

No Truth in Report of Multi
millionaires Backing Califor=

The published statements that VIII
liam III. Crocker, ID. o. Mills, Edwin
Hawley and George j. Gould are back

safe deposit and trust company are un-
qualifedly false, unauthorized and ex-
ceedingIy unfortunate.
In this language, painfully to the
Attorney Oscar Cooper secretary OF the
reorganization committee of the Cali
fornia safe deposit and trust company,
gave the lie yesterday to the flood of
rumors and finely woven theories con-

raised In the breasts of the depositors
by the publication OF the statements
that four OF the biggest money kings
or the country were behind the scheme
OF reorganization.
FANCIFUL ILLUSIONS
While the fanciful illusions are. how
ever, dispelled, Coopers denial shows
the situation as IL is-devoid of friIIs,
financial furbelows and frenzied flut-
terings-and this, it is taken is of far
more lasting benefits and more to the
point of progress than the myriad
golden tinged rumors and unsubstan-
tial vaporings. however pleasant might
be the momentary feeling of comfort
produced by them.
He does not stand alone. Others
whose positions and connections with
the California safe deposit and trust
company would give them full knowl-
edge OF what was occurring in regard
TO the work of reorganization are to-
tally ignorant of any steps having
been taken by which the four million
aires mentioned have placed their
money In it.
RUMOR ABOUT HARTMAN

that even the mighty Hartman has

the idea was great. Plain. prosaic

LAWYERS ASK $4,000
FEE FROM HITE ESTATE
Defeated Claims of Indian
Woman for Big Sum

For defeating the claim Of Indian
Lucy" the squaw wife of John r. Hite.
Attorneys e. w. McGraw and Titus &
Creed, representing the Mercantile
trust company, administrators of the
Hite estate. petitioned the superior
court yesterday to be allowed $4,000.
The lawyers rendered other services
to the estate, but the defeating of the
Indian woman's claim was the most i'm
portant piece of work they did, &C
cording to their petition. For that
service alone $4,000 is but moderate
compensation, assert the lawyers.
Lucy Hite claimed half the estate,
and If she had been successful she
would have obtained in excess of
5000. 900.

Breeds and Lnylng Capacity.

Laying capacity varies greatly
among individual hens This has
been discovered by the use OF trap
nests. Experiment station records
show that hens vary from $50 eggs
per year to no eggs. Frequently a
good looking hen, IN good health, will
not pay for the food she eats, while
another hen Of the same breed and
with the same care, will lay eggs
worth three or four times the cost Of
the food.
II is not known that there is a
type or shape characteristic of heavy
laying hens, otherwise It would be an
easy matter 20 rid the flock OF the
Improbable fowls. The use OF the
trap nest involves considerable labor.
more than a farmer, keeping only a
few hens, can profitably give. but he
should endeayor to secure "pedi-
greed" males from some of the expert
ment stations or from reputable pri-
vate breeders In order to breed up the
laying qualities OF his flock
The smaller breeds, such as Leg
hornsy are usually the most profit
able for egg production. The Leg
horns should lay as many eggs as the
Plymouth Rocks and breeds OF that
kind on one-fourth less food. But
the question OF profit does not hinge
on egg yield alone. Large returns
will be secured from the sales Of the
Plymouth Rocks for market, which
will about balance the difference in
the cost OF feeding. Weekly Witness

Plain Horse Sense.

Gentle colts make gentle horses.
An excitable and nervous ho. leman
usually owns horses Of the same tenn
permanent.
We never yet have seen the colt
that could not be turned into a pet by
kind words and gentle handling.
If you want horse trained to suit
you in every respect you must do the
training yourself, and begin when he
is sucking colt.
A severe or so-called safety" bit
often causes a horse to become vi
cious or unruly. Be sure the animal
needs such a bit before you use It on
him.
Don't try to shun the automobiles.
They've come to stay, and the sooner
we train our teams to drive past one
without being frightened, the better
for us, the horse and the autoists.
Get rid of the kicky horse at once.
He may be valuable as far as his
working qualities go. but if some of
the children should happen to stray
up behind his heels you may regret
having kept him-after it is too late.
We frequentlysee a man CD strike
his horse with a whip and then yanlS
the poor, dumb animal back when he
plurses and tries to get free. Such
man ought to be knocked down right
on the spot, and kicked a time or two
for falling so hard.
When the skittiGh horse SHES or
gets scared, handle him gently and
speak kindly to him for a few Sec
onds, instead of whipping, Jerking
and talking in loud tone, as most
men do. Soothe him, rather than un-
nerve and excite him by causing him
TO think he is going TO be hurt.
The balliy horse is a nuisance you
cannot afford to waste time with on
the farm-nor any place else, for that
matter. Usually, the poor animal has
been ruined beyond redemption by
Overlooking. and the sooner you get
rid of him the quicker you'll make a

Losses in Manure.

One of our experiment stations has
shown by careful investigation that
when the stable manure is piled up
and left exposed to the rains the loss
from teaching Of the fertile elements
is very large. The New Jersey station
finds that manure exposed for 100
days lost over one-half of nitrogen,
one-half of the phosphoric acid and
the same proportion of the potassium
had been lost. More than one-half
OF the constituents had been lost by
an exposure OF less than four pounds.
Work from other experiment stations
confirms this.
A great deal of valuable manure Is
also lost in badly arranged stables,
where there are poor facilities for re-
covering the manure. The valuable
liquid manure is lost by drainage.
The best way to save all the fertile
elements in manure Is TO haul it on
the fields and meadows and spread it
evenly over the land Washed into
the soil It is preserved for the next
crop.

The Meanino of the Theme,

Christmas is the birthday of the
worlds Redeemer. Do you know what
that means? The word "Redeemer"
has in it the old idea of kinsman. The
duty of the kinsman consisted in buy
ing back that which had been lost
Suppose a family in Israel lost it's
estate through poverty. 1t was the
duty of the kinsman or nearest rela-
tive to redeem that estate for the un.
fortunate home. This is illustrated
by the case of Boaz and Ruth Man
was lost in Adams moral assignment
and Christ has come as his Redeemer.
Where price failed the redeemer re-
deemed by power. This is seen in the
rescue of Lot by Abraham. Christ
has come to redeem by power. Satan
and his wild hordes rush madly over
the earth, striking terror to the hearts
of multitudes. But look you, Satan
often turns his head and glances anx-
iously back along the path he has
Travelled. Why is he anxious? Christ
mas answers your question. Satan has
never had a peaceful hour since the
news from Bethlehen's s manger reach
ed him. A Redeemer has come who
redeems by power, and Satan knows
it. No compromise, no quarter asked
or given. Gods chariots are thunder
ing in pursuit, and Jesus Christ, the
King of kings, leads the hosts to bat
tie. Not even death shall stay him.,
Emmanuel shall break the bands of
the grave, and liberate to Immortality
the millions that lie imprisoned there.
in.
If murder had been committed it be-
came the duty OF the kinsman to
avenge with blood. Blood for blood.
And this our Redeemer has come to
do. We crave no vengeance on man,
but vengeance on the enemy of man.
1t will be day for rejoicing when the
monster who has spilled the lifeblood
OF countless numbers is at last slain
and hurled into the lake of fire.
