WHAT'S THE USEo
I thought that l might buy a car and
zip around h countryside.
l went to see an agent and ne look me
for a nice long ride.
Somehow the news got noised around
and Is agents called on me
n O me out in brand new cars
their points OF excellence to see.
This thing went on all summer long,
and really folks it was immense.
l toured all over half the state without
a nickel OF expense.
Why should / own a touring car? 1
am not missing any fun.
I can go riding all the time with
agents who would sell me one.
INTEMPERANcE IN THE BARN
YARD.
Indulgence in wines has long been a
characteristic Of the French. but it
seems as though the latest plan OF M.
Joubert, professor of agriculture at
FOuntainbleau. exceeds the speed limit
to a considerable extent. AS told in
h Dispatcher. he Is experimenting
with the hen, and In order to increase
/ their output Of eggs he has been mix
ing wine with their daily rations. The
fowls that have taken their wines re-
sponded nobly and have laid many
more eggs than they ever did before.
1t Is not known what effect the eggs
laid by these intoxicated hens will
have upon the people who eat them,
demand for the champagne eggs and
the French hen owners will have a
very decided advantage.
From a moral standpoint. however,
the scheme is all wrong. Nothing
| could be more distressing to the sight
than n harnv0r1 f,111 nf innhriotol
hens. hiccoughing and looking for a
lamp post to hang to. The hen up to
this time has been a model of behavior
n has spent all her time looking
after h needs of her numerous fam
flies. A hen with a sentimental jag
is apt to forget her home duties and
wander aficld while her brood of lit
| tie ones are left to scratch for them
! selves at II very tender age.
Steps should be taken to saw the
hen and to preserve her dignity. Next
thing the Frenchmam will have her
smoking cigarets.
