THIS WOMAN STAYS AT HOME.
In IA Years She Has Not Spent d
Night Away From Her Rock.


American women have the reputa-
ton of being restless eadabouts, not
perhaps without having given grounds
for the accusation; but there's one
American woman who is homes.a y.

Mrs. Kate Walker has lived in the
lighthouse en- Robbins Reef fer twen.
ty-three years, and the number
doesn't have any mystic significance
implying an impending departure
either. For fourteen of these years,
ever since her husbands death, she
herself has been keeper CT the light.
Robbins Reef is ledge a mile or
so north of Staten Island on the port
sile as you sail up the bay. You
reach Mrs. Walkers home by scramb-
ling up an iron ladder after you have
rea he'd the spot-that is all it is, a
spCt-by boat. AS that is the only
means Of reaching Mrs. Walkers es,
Establishment it is easy to understand
that it isn't rush of visitors that
keeps her at home.
She not only has the light to main
tain-and she has never once failed
in that-but there are also IL siren run

Weekly Mrs. Walker takes a long
nap in the afternoon so as to keep

regulating the light, which is a re-
volving one, has to be wound every
five hours. She says that the light
is never off her mind at night and
that even when she sleeps she wakes
up every hour.
Before her husband died she went
to the Catskills once, but since she
became keeper Of the light she has

NOTES.

The drouth last year has caused
many farmers to have more respect
for the poultry. than was the case
ever before. The lay of the hens
has kept more than one farmer from
running "a store BILL and we will
hope it will lead to better care of
the poultry.
Nothing, unless the milk COW be eX-
cepted, responds more promptly to
good care than will poultry.
More hens won't help the matter
unless sufficient room, and feed are
provided; rather more profit with a
lesser number would be wisdom.
Eighteen and twenty cents per
dozen for eggs in May, June and
July is very unusual thing for this
place; what they are when delivered
in the cities is Of course, considerably
more.
If by extra care. the hens can be
kept laying all through the fall, and
early winter. the eggs will bring gilt
edge prices. It will decidedly pay to
use effort to hasten the pullets' lay
ing time, and to keep the hens ION

Leg weakness sometimes affects
the hens through mid-winter, and
while not fatal, nor q contagious dis
ease, it flxes the hens for the ak,

Following is an extract taken
from an article in last week S News
Reporter: The people of Newport
are to be congratulated upon their
prompt and effective refused to be
roped into wildcat scheme" to
boom somebody's sawmill property
at the expense of their own and
their grand chiIdrens childrens
pocket books" Will Mr.. Matthews
kindly explain what effective re-
fused" means. This is a new term
to us, also effective is a new word 4.
We have taken it up with high
authority and the latest decision to
date, is, that it means to go back
ON your word or break bargain.
Now we realize the folly of trying
to argue the matter with ninny
like the editor of the News Report
er has proven himself to be, but.
for the benefit of those who do not
know the facts of the matter, we
will outline them in brief. Here
are the facts: Some of the leading
citizens Of Toledo conceived the
idea of forming the county into a
port district and improving the
rivers and bays, thereby opening
them up to navigation. A meeting
was called and the matter discussed
and it met with unanimous favor.
Another meeting was held at Elk
City and it met with favor there.
They said we will think the matter
over, come back again in two weeks
and we will give you our decision.
Meetings were held at Eddyyille
and Waldport in mean time and
while these people were not enthusi-
astlc over the matter, yet they said
we are open to conviction" But
while Toledo, in coed faith, is going
ahead and holding these meetings,
what does Newport do? 1t says
we will just block this scheme which
o., mated at Toledo and which
will give the other parts of the
country a chance to grow. So they
get up petition creating the port
OF Newport. And mind you. this
was done without waiting to meet
with the rest of the county as they
had promised to do. A majority
OF the people of Newport are dis
gusted at the sneaking manner in
which a few of her citizens acted
also the News-Reporter for uphold
ing such methods. This is shown by
the last weeks LEADER which was
written by one Of Newport's leading
citizens.
