ONE THOUSAND HENS
When Biddy Meets Biddy, Then
She's a Gold Mine, All
Right.

They are talking about Mexico
away down in Georgia and arc
reckoning on coming to see It's
next fall-more especially to sec
our busy little egg-producers. A
few days ago the Atlanta Con
stitution contained the following
article:
Next fall there is going to be a
great noise in and around Mexico.
Mo.
One of it's factors may be the
cost of living falling from the top
story.
But, in the main, it will be the
combined, strident, penetrating,
cheering, awakening, disconcert-
ing and absolutely unique cackle
Of 1000 hens.
One thousand hens
You city man, who greets the
noise of the barnyard with new
and strange expletives when
reused from your summer-resort-
ing slumbers, imagine the din
createdby 900 energetic hens, in
Guiding the pick of hendom in
this country as well as in Europe.
The reason?
Well, one 7. Z. Quisenberry.
secretary of the Missouri State
Poultry Board, is the responsible
party. He wants to match a regi-
ment of these busy little egg-pro-
ducers against each other for a
period of six months, with the
hope of rousing the great
American farmer to the profit AMI
feasibility of wholesale culture.
We entertain the hope that the
railroads will put on low round
trip rates, and that hundreds of
farmers from Georgia will be
among those present.
The hen is gold mine.
She ought to be making big an
nual dividends for Georgia.
The Missouri experiment is sure
to prove thrilling. It's very nature
assures us that.
But it is more important that
Southern farmers should go to the
hen for profit, and we venture to
asseverate that lessons in that di-
rection will result in bumper
crop in the vicinity of Mexico,
Mo-, next fall.

took the horse back home and
at the end Of the month had
groomed him to such advantage
that he looked like a show horse.
Last Saturday, with Gene Grimes
as a mount, the horse was paraded
before the same buyer and a trade
quickly followed ON the basis of
1925 in cash. 1t was ever thus. A
mule that is unkept in appearance
is worth much less than when It

what we have here and what we are doing
There are too many persons who, having some
conception of the greatness of the Eilers chain of
stores and the business they doing the Coast,
have asked us where the head home office of the
concern is located We wish to emphasize the fact
that the Eilers Music House, of Tacoma is the home
office of this business In dealing with us you are
patronizing Tacoma concern, not branch house
nor foreign corporation The heads of more than
thirty families employed by the Tacoma store

MERCY SHOWN WOMAN
 BY JUDGE THOMAS
Dangers of Life She IS Leading Point
 ed Out ir Police Court.

Perhaps more mercy than justice
 was shown by Judge Thomas ycstc--
 day in dealing with the case of a wo- man who had been brought before him charged with prostitution. There was nothing about the woman, who had [ not reached the meridian of life, to indicate that she had strayed into the i paths oi WaNwardnCss. She was still : CumClV and at her side sat one of her ! three children. q little girl of perhaps ! ten Ncars. who gdZCd with eyes that perceived hut did not conceive. and : lStcndCd with cars that heard but did
 not lathum the depth of her mother g 1 degradation.
 N"Ehbors had complained "f hap i pcninGs al the wpman's home and an 1 officer had arrested her the day be- ! fore. He V,tS present at yesterdays : hearing ready to present evidence 1 which must of necessity baV2 branded | the woman with the lifelong mark of | shame. She had been before Judge l Thomas before and hc seemed tu ! know something "f the personal trials ] which must confront widow with I children tu support and home L" | keep mp.
 Just before the time set for the hear 1 ing and while the woman was still in cell downstairs. the little girl had come tu the police station seeking her mother. She was the oldest or the three and through the long night be fore when the mother had not appear cd at their little home she had moth cred the two other little ones. had Cuddled their heads upon her breast and had sung them to sleep. And yes terday the neighbors told her where she would find her mother.
 Following out something uf the spirit "f the teachings of Him who said Let him that is without sin among ycu cast the first stone. Judge Thomas refused tu hear tcsti- rnouy against the woman but told her of the direction in which she was go ing and what would be tho deStina ton. He appealed to her mothers heart and her love or her children and stated that just so surely as /le con tinued in the future as he had reason to believe she had been going in the past. another court would be called upon tu take her little ones from her and would likely add even more pun ishmcnt
 With tears in her eyes the woman told of the effort she had made to keep in the straight and marrow path. of how she had lost her position some time ago and of the hardshps she had undergone that her little ones might be clothed and fed. She seemed to feel that the world was against her. but the judge showed her that it was largely q matter of environment and that if she should go about it in the right way there are many who would be ready and willing to help instead of sending her down the dangerous path.
 And when it was all over she had promised to begin over again. to seek new neighborhood and to try and be all that could be required of any wo- man. And then she and her little girl passed out of the court room arm in arm and happy. The woman had been punished more deeply than could have been the case had fine been imposed or jail sentence pronounced.
