All eyes are fixed upon the one
Who wears the dress of fluffy white
Admitting friends arise TO say
In every way that She all right,
But who has smiles or cheering words
Or hopes for him future great,
Who boosts along in any way
The poor, forlorn boy graduate?
They come with posies in a bunch
To shower upon the favored lass
Who boldly down the platform walks,
Admired and envied by her class,
Her brother, though his head be full,
Is hardly in the social swim.
The audience forgets TO bring
A lemon even round to him.
Fame may be waiting for the lad
Be loafing just around the way,
The world may have rewards for him,
But that is not his special day.
The essay that he reads may make
The whiskers Of the trusts TO curl,
But no one has a thought for him.
All eyes are on the pretty girl.
Neglected In the bunch he sits.
A thorn with roses all around.
He ventures not to move limb,
Nor would be dare TO make sound
For him 1t is torture day,
For them a long remembered date,
For no one pauses to console
The poor. forlorn boy graduate.

REFUSES
Big BONUS
Clarence Lebus Valves
Right to $4,000.
Will Let Nothing Stand in Way
Of Success Of Tobacco
Pool.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 21.-Clarence
Lebus, president of the Burley To-
bacco society, tonight waived title
and claim to the bonus of $4,000 in
addition to a yearly salary of $4,000,
which was voted to him by the district
board at meeting in Winchester on
June 8 last. That bonus was depend
ent upon the success of the Burley
society's efforts to pool the tobacco
crop of 1909. Waiver of the bonus wal
made in the following letter dated
today, which was given out by the
press committee OF the Burnley So
ciety:
Hello, Tobacco Growers!
"In order to show my faith and
interest in the pool and as a means
of helping all tobacco growers, and
TO assure every grower that my con-
Germ for the pool is greater than the
consideration of salary. | here and
now cheerfully waive my right to
the $4,000 bonus voted me by the
district board on June 9th.
Compared with the benefits to be
derived from the pool, the sum in
volved is trifle, but If this consider
alton has been even in a small meas
ure an obstacle In the way of So
licitors, gladly remove it.
Nothing of less moment should
be allowed to stand in the way of
strong pool that means so much to
every one OF us and to the entire
state.
"A strong pull and a pull all to-
gether assures success. Yours for
strong pool and good prices. Faith
fully. CLARENCE LEBUS
No supplementary statement was
forthcoming from Mr.. Lebus or other
members of the Burley society to-
night. From the tenor of the let
ter, however, it would appear that
the society's solicitors have encoun-
tered serious opposition from the
growers, and that the majority of
them are hanging their objections to
pledging their crop on statement
of belief that the society had voted
the president too much money for
his labors.
In the light Of the fact that Mr..
Lobus according to statements that
have been made from time to time
during the summer, stood firm in his
demand, for the increase in salary his
action in waving the bonus in these
last stages of the campaign for the
pool, which must be declared one
way or the other by October Lis
liable to be taken as an evidence of
weakness.
In other words, there is a posi-
bility If not probability that many
persons will take up the notion that
the chances for a successful pool are
very slim, and this may result In
an eject opposite from that evidently
desired by the president of the Bur
ley Tobacco society.
Well posted tobacco men in this
city have within the last week ex-
pressed the opinion that the Burley
Tobacco society will not be able TO
pool the expected 70 per cent. of the
crop in acreage. Estimates from SO
to IS per cent have been made. The
effect of this letter will be to change
the situation entirely. but whether
II will strengthen the campaign for
the pool Is matter yet to be de-
termined.

rive In New York in dubious con-
dition. Many explode on the way.
Shipping chickens Is also precarious,
for all the eggs they lay in transit
are lost figure 1t out that 3.476.-
3S7.991 eggs are lost In this way In
the course of decade. AT two cents
apiece that amounts to the stupendous
total Of s6s,527,75s.S2
Nov, it would cost less than one
tenth of that sum TO equip the pipe
lines have in mind. The pipes would
be about II inches in diameter, made
Of firm composition and lined with
cotton batting.
THE size of the pipes permits Of
the piping of every manner of fowl
save turkeys OF course,th pipes will
be operated by compressed air. There
will be compressed air stations all
along the line. A heavy pressure will
be maintained and so arranged as to
be continuous.
THE eggs can be slipped into the
pipe through q leather valve at. the
Kansas City or Chicago terminal. A
suction will Immediately draw them
into the pipe and then carry them
along at the rate Of $50 miles an hour
The pressure will be so great as TO
sustain the eggs without breaking,be-
ing equally distributed at every sur
face of the egg The lightest and the
heaviest egg will travel at the same
speed. There will be no rac'ng on tue
part of the eggs and no collisions.
Eggs laid in Kansas on Tuesday morn
ing will be received in New York on
Tuesday afternoon. Their freshness
can be guaranteed.
THE same thing aplies to spring
chickens. The terminal ends of the
spring and over-spring chickens. They
will travel through the pipe in COM
pany with the eggs. Should any OF
these chickens that is, the hens
among 'em) lay an egg while in trans
1t that egg joins the other eggs laid
in the open air,or outside the pipe,in
the eastward flight. The pipes will
have a capacity of 100000 fowls
day, SO that If every other of those
fowls lays an egg we will get 2,OOO,-
900 more egs out Of the pipe at the
eastern end than went into the pipe at
the western terminus. The inside lay
ing will pay all operating expenses.
Then can count on 100000 duck eggs
a day as an inside laying.
THE reception of the fowl and eggs
at the eastern terminals Is simple.
They will be blown swiftly into
water valve, emerging into tank.
Fountain at the bottom of the tank
will propel the eggs to the surface,
whence they will be scooped and pack
ed. The ducks will swim TO the sur
face and the chickens will be gently
extracted in series Of automatic
nets.
Then Hugo Pebbles, of Great Notch,
got up and made foolish remark.
"Supposin'," said that individual,
two ROSTERS what was going through
that pipe stopped to fight. Wouldn't
that burst up the circuit and ruin about
a million eggs?"
