TRAP NEST

door drops again and closes the en-.

tices the opening at the back OF tho
nest and passes out into a different
pen or alleyway. As she does SO she
raises this back door. which Is hung
from the top on hinges. and a string
which passes over two spools lifts the
front door and resets the latch, so
that another hen may then enter the
nest.
The only objection to this method
Of trap nesting hens is that 1t is not
possible to know which egg is laid
by any one hen. but It is possible to
know which hens are and which are
not laying in the flock; and the hens
can be credited with the number OF
eggs they lay. SO that the pouItryman
may know which are his most profit.

One of the principal objections to
the trap nest generally employed
where individual records OF hens are
desired is that too much time is re-
quired to take the hens out Of the
nests and record their achievements.
says Orange Judd Farmer. Many
farmers and poultrymen who would
like to know which hens are profitable
and which not in their focks will there
fore welcome such a nest as pictured
herewith.
As will be seen. the nest is In an
ordinary box. The front Is provided
with a very light door made Of a
shingle or other light wood. and

DROVE HUSBAND FROM HOME

The results that may ensue from

ATTEMPT IS MADE
TOFIX PHONE RATES
Conference Between Utilities Commits
sion and Company Officials
Begun-No Decisive
Action Taken

A conference was held yesterday aft
commission and representatives of the
Home and Sunset Telephone companies
in regard to the establishment Of a
telephone rate to go in effect imme-
diately and remain In effect until July
l, when the law prescribeS that the
new rates shall be fixed.
At the present time there Is no fixed
rate for charges to be made by the
telephone companies. This Is caused
by the ordinance which the old coun-
ell proposed fixing a general rate OF
SO for residence telephones of each
company being defeated at the last
election.
At the suggestion of the city at
torney, the council has requested the
public utilities commission to inVesti-
gate the matter and make a report
In order to get all the facts and IN
formation necessary the commission
decided to confer with the telephone
companies before taking any action.
The discussion at the conference
yesterday was whether or not the mat
ter could be adjusted by the telephone
companies agreeing to retain the pres
ent rates or whether a new ordinance
would have to be drawn fixing the
rates. ,tA& 'AA
The Home Telephone company, rep
resented by it's president, A. B. CasS
appeared willing to abide by the pres
ent rates, but the Sunset Telephone
company did not.
The conference was continued until
this afternoon, when the companies
will furnish information showing the
rates and number of telephones oper-
ated by them and the number oi
phones in each class, so that the COM
mission may be thoroughly posted or
the rates charged and in fixing new
rates if that is found necessary.

According to the story of Patrolman
Browning and Bowe they obtained in
formation from a rival barber that Miss
Fisher was conducting disorderly
house and hired a "stool pigeon" gave
him two marked dollars and told him to
visit the woman and try to get her
to violate the low so they could rush
in and arrest her.
Both officers declared they have been
in the habit of making arrests without
warrants as it is not necessary for
them to bother about such matters.
When asked about the case yesterday
afternoon, Acting Chief Dixon said
that he would uphold Browning and
Bowe, that he believed they acted
legally in arresting the woman without
a warrant and in subduing King be-
fore he was placed under arrest
Acting Chief Dixon said that he be-
lieves arrests are perfectly legal even
if made without a warrant, although
he admitted there We're some excep-
tions.
The acting chief stated the ''purity
squad" was accustomed to make ar
rests without warrants and he knew
of no reason why Patroimen Browning
anl Bowe should be censured for their
action Tuesday night.
When King was arraigned in Police
Judge Frederickson' court he asked
for time to plead and was allowed un-
til next Tuesday. He promptly fur
nished S100 bail and was released.
Miss Fisher entered a plea of not
guilty and demanded q jury trial She

II congratulate you on being able to
establish this Christian institution
You will find the majority of our
schools of learning throughout the
country have been established with
missionary spirit. but I fear we have
fallen away. By developing students
first they take in knowledge and you
pull out and develop what they have
in them. Character is the watchword
and only that man or woman knows
how to live who puts the money which
God has given them into character and
that means into institutions such as we

1.-THE only way to take money to
heaven will be in your own and other
