chickens, the offsprings from domestic fowls. The mongoose was brought here some years ago with the idea that it would destroy the arboreal rats which caused some damage to certain crops. but 1t proved SO destructive to game birds, by destroying their nests and young, that the territory Is now endeavoring to exter- minate 1t as @ pest.
 At the present time the Hawaiian Poul- try Fanciers' association Is ftourishlng organization, though most of the mem bers are raising high grade stock large 1y as a fad or pestime. There Is rumor current, however that several large con1- mercial ventures will be shortly started in poultry raising to supply the local markets. One such enterprise Is already paying handsomely, although the two young Americans who are managing 1t in connection with other farming business are not applying very scientific methods They are however, making a financial suc- cess of the venture, which is now some two years old.
 The poultry yard just mentioned is in the suburbs of Honolulu Its owners are not attempting to breed at all, but i'm port from California large numbers of fowls every week, keeping in one great flock about 1000 all the time. The chick ems thus brought are all young, and run mostly to white leghorn. and plymouth rock stock. They have a large range of panicum grass pasture. from which they gain a considerable part of their food, the balance being supplied with wheat mixed with cocoanut meal. The flock produces on an average 20 dozen eggs

A Queer Census.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 India is now the fashionable winter resort. I shall spend the winter there myself
 The speaker. wealthy spinster, smiled pensively.
 When I was last in India" she resum- ed "they were taking the census. The returns were most remarkable.
 "In the Allahabad census 35 citizens de- scribed themselvs as men who rob with threats of violence. There were 226 flat terers for gain There were 20 hereditary thieves There were g 'howlers at funer- als.' There were 145 ear-cleaners.' There were 76 makers of crowns for idols There were 14 hereditary painters of horses with spots. There were g profess sonal false witnesses "
 "It seems very remarkable, doesn't it :? Maybe, though if we. too told the strict truth to the census taker our own cen sus would seem quite as quaint as that of India"

per day, which are contracted to two hotels at 40 cents p@ dozen by the year. The owners figure that their food costs them under two dollars per day and that they net six dollars per day from their eggs alone. As soon as a hen becomes irregular in laying, or begins to brood, it is disposed of in the markets, the average price being $1.50 each, which well covers the original cost. and transportation charges. There has never been any dis ease among the flock of serious charac- ter, the owners believing that the large range is responsible for this.
 The importance of the local market for poultry may be understood from the fact that during the year 1907 the value of eggs imported from the coast was $14,94S, and of poultry, s3O.0s2. Since these figures were forthcoming the population of the territory has been increased by several thousand men of the army and navy now stationed here, and several times the pre- sent number are expected to be stationed here permanently within the next two or three years.

POULTRY PROSPECT
 IN THE PACIFIC
By WILL J. COOPER.

Honolulu, Hawaii-It is only within the past year or two that poultry raising on commercial basis has been given auy serious consideration by the people of this territory. AS in the case of almost every thing else except sugar, the notion had developed here that chickens could not be produced profltably in the islands, not withstanding that up to the time of the introduction of the mongoose, weasel ike animal from the Orient, the forests of all the islands were filled with wild

all work aliEe,'' said Jack, "and do away with the tariff. It Is a mixed up thing, and no one seems to know about it."
 That's ungrateful," MT. Townsend said, laughing, when I've just explained 1t to you.'
 'Oh-if you call that an explanation" Jack said. But 1t seems to me I'm more mixed up than ever"
 That may not be my fault Mir. Town send said, saroastically.
 Jack picked up a mighty exciting book he was reading, thinking to himself that he would put of studying the tariff till he had to vote-maybe till later.

A Treasure.

From Tit-Blts
 At the dinner of the Cab Drivers Be- nevoent association Sir Squire Bancroft told a story of a young lady who ten dered the fare of shilling at the end of a journey.

 No. Why do you ask?"

 Because you are always trying to stuff me with chestnuts."

Do Your Best.

From Success Magazine.
 The quality which you put into your work will determine the quality of your life. The habit of insisting upon the best of which you are capable, of al ways demanding of yourself the highest, never accepting the lowest or second best no matter how small your remunar- ation, will make all the difference to you between failure and success.

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1909-06-16

Truancy is crying evil in most
schools and we presume that the
argument used against conditions
existing at Dawson would apply to
most towns in Redwood county.
After computing the total cost of
running Dawson's schools, the Sen
tinel declares that the people of
Dawson throw away an average of
two dollars every year, for every
man, woman and child because they
fail to make intelligent use of their
excellent school facilities. In addi-
ton to this direct money loss is the
indirect loss due to the less efficient
work caused by irregularity of at
tendance. A child who is frequent
ly absent or tardy handicaps not
himself alone; other pupils are re.
tarded because the teacher has to
devote considerable time to giving
the delinquents what they should
have gotten before.
