"God Bless Our Wives"

One of the best known lawyers in
Cleveland attended a banquet of his
fraternity the other night and re-
sponded to the toast, Our Wives"
On this classic and congenial theme
he expanded and fairly glowed. But
even after his eloquence fades from
the memories of those present, one
personal note will remain. He said,
in part:
God bless our wives! They know
us from Alpha to Omega, our secret
faults and virtues. But they rise in
arms against him who would expose
the former or belittIe the latter. How
we'll l remember an occasion upon
which my own dear wife had ne
PACED in restaurant where | was
eating. She said to the waiter, Is
Mr.. Dashblank here?' Mr.. Dash
bIank?' asked the waiter. rs he that
fat old man with a red nose and d
bald head?'
Yes, that's the man. answered
my wife. But l want you to under
stand that he isn't fat and he isn't
old. And he's not very bald, either.
shall report you for your insolence.
His nose isn't bit red Get him for
me at once-you evidently know him.
God bless our wives"

BiQcest Poultry Center.

Pataluma, Cal, is the center of
what is said to be the greatest poultry
industry in the United States. The dis
trict covered lies about fifty miles
north of San Francisco, and occupies
a level country between the noun
tai1s. In the territory named 10000
600 dozen eggs were produced last
year. The poultry business there is
not carried on by women and chill
dren but is, as rule, conducted by
men who devote their entire time to
it. 1t is not uncommon to see one
man with a flock of 5000 laying hens
on his place and several dozen incu-
bators. Great care and intelligence
are used in the handling of these i'm
mense poultry farms. The total pro-
duction of eggs and poultry in this
district last year, 1910, according to
records, amounted to 100000.
