Missouri hen. that she has not been
properly treated by the state
government.
1t is contended that an industry
yielding S45. 900. 900 annually is
entitled TO more consideration in
the matter of laws and appropriations
than the paltry $4,000 provided
by the last legislature.
Comparison is made with the
state of New York where the
revenue from the poultry industry
amounts I o less than SIS. ZOO. 900
yearly, although the state spends
$50, 600 during the same period in
support of its poultry department.
Statistics r also supplied to show
that in twenty-eight other states,
where the poultry business is of
much less Importance than in
Missouri. large sums are spent by
authority of the various legislatures
in the development of the industry.
There is, of course, some logic
in the argument. Still it is not
apparent that the poultry business
has been seriously neglected in
Missouri. Unjust be admitted that
an industry that has arrived at the
S45, 600, 600 mark has passed the
experimental stage. 1t is doubtful,
therefore, if the expenditure Of
public money for the purposes
proposed would prove of great
benefit.
The way to raise hens is TO raise
them. At least that method ap-
pears to have succeeded in Missouri,
regardless of theories advanced by
experimental stations in some other
states where hens are almost as
carce a. their teeth.
There is no one in Missouri
who is not a friend of the Missouri
hen but until she registers a
scratch there can be no gleater
mistake in conducting the business
along the practical lines that have
already resulted in such phenomenal
success.
~
The Missouri hen is modest.
She is rot given to Growing, but
she is doing her full duty as
becomes a good lay citizen. 1t is
not therefore, certain that public
money spent in salaries at ex-
perimental stations would add a
single egg to the Missouri hens
nest. st. Louis Star.

CORTSHIP GLASS
FOR JAP GIRLS

Japan has killed the last doubt as
to it's modern progress by the
organization of a "class of court
ship for girls in each of the
secondary schools. The Japanses
madiens are taught that if they
SHOULD be so unfortunate as to fall
in love before becoming engaged
they must conceal the fact. Above
all they must remember that
women never propose. Another
thing, they are warned that we'll
bred girls do not exchange
photographs with their admirers.
In Japan until now there has not
been any trouble about counting,
and this is the first evidence that
the Japanese maidens need instruc-
ton in affairs of the heart.
Glasses to the contrary, however,
the point is maintained that there
is not a Juliet under the sun who
does not know the exact formula
for dealing with a Romeo.

GOLDEN MUST STAND TRIAL

Judge Averill last Thursday
morning handed down a ruling on
the motion to dismiss the charges
of cmbezzlement against Frank
Golden and dis charge the defendant
from custody, denying the request.
Golden, the president of the Nye
and Ormsby County bank, was
indicted bv the present grand
jury and charged with embezzling
the funds of the hank The grounds
for the motion were that the acts
of l907-9 were in conflict and the
defense claimed that the former
act was repealed when the latter
went into effect. In the ruling
Judge Averill found that the act
was formulated with the intent of
affording protection to the people
against INSCRIPTIONS bankers.
The court further held that the
Legislature of 1909 did not intend
to repeal the act of 1907 but
purposely left it to accomplish
what good it could as violations of
it might be brought to light.
Unless prohibited by the supreme
court the trial will probably be
started on the 5th of October the
day set.-Tonopah Miner.

FREAK TREASURY NOTES

Despite the i~caretul scrutiny
given every bill that leaves the
bureau of engraving and printing,
a number of freak" notes find
their way into circulation from
time to time. Such a one was a
note that once came to the sub
treasury at New York. 1t had the
imprint of a twenty dollar note on
one side and of a ten on the other.
But, inasmuch as the face showed
the figures 20, $50 was the legal
value of the bill.
In most cases the freak bills
that have escaped the vigilance of
the bureaus officers are national
banknotes, which. like the regular
treasury notes, are printed there.
AS intimated already, the face
value is always recognized when
the "feaks" come to be cashed at
any branch of the treasury. The
imprint on the back has no lawful
status whatsoever.
The notes are printed in sheets
Usually there will be one twenty
and two tens on a sheet. They are
printed one side at a time, so it
can readily be seen that the printer
in turning over the sheet might
get it upside down and Il us put
a ten dollar back on the twenty
dollar note or a twenty on the
back of one of the tens.
When errors are discovered the
misprinted sheet is laid aside to be
destroyed 1t cannot be torn up at
once, for every sheet has to be
accounted for. After some form
alities it is ground into pulp.
Almost all the freak" bills that
have been issued in the past have
found their way back to the
treasury, there to be destroyed.
1t is thuoght that very few of
them are now scattered about, and
these are for the most part in the
hands of curio hunters. -Harper's
Weekly.

NO MARKET FOR UMBRELLAS

Former Secretary of State S. M.
Taylor of Urbana, now United
States consul to Peru at Calao, is
home on the first leave of absence
from his pos since he was assigned
to Callao three years ago.

600 population, while Lima, seven
miles distant, has a population of
100000. We are IL degrees south
of the equator, so that this is their
summer but 1t is never very hot
there. They get the sea breeze
and 1t rarely gets over 85 degrees
Fahrenheit, while the lowest
temperature is about 65. OF
course, frost never occurs there.
The climate is one of perpetu al
sunshine. 1t never rains. All

A Peruvian girl came up to Panama
