MATCHING EGGS
 BY ELECTRICITY

Spokane Wash, April 16.-(Speclal J. Sixty-nne healthy chicks from setting of 7S eggs have just been matched by electricity on J. Don Alexander's ranch at Reitmeir's station. Wash. near Spo- kane The initial test was so successful that 1900 eggs will be placed in the incu- bators as soon as the apparatus can be installed. The equipment, which Is not patented can be attached to an ordinary less than a dollar.
 Construction of the electricity operated incubator Is simple. MT. Alexander took the lamps from the oil-burning machines and wound German silver wire around the frames above the egg trays connect ing the coils with an incandescent light circuit. This Is made through a contact device, consisting of a piece of iron fixed on the regulator arm to dip into a small cup filled with mercury.
 When the temperature in the incubator rises to 103 degrees, the natural matching point, the iron arm is lifted automati- cally shutting off the current until there IS ldli Ol Oic-lOultn utSitt. <to q Pi iC- caution against overheatng in the event of the failure of the controlling device, a piece of underwriters fuse is placed in the circuit at the hottest part of the ma- chine, thus shutting off the current at 155 degrees fahrenheit.
 'The chicks we matched in testing the machine the first time are of normal size
  said. adding: "Of course, I did not strike it the first time. I experimented several months with small settings before reach ing what is said by poultry experts to be perfect incubating heat by electricity. The reason I did not protect the inven- tion by patents Is because I want every farmer interested in chicken culture to profit by my work without any expense on his part. I have nothing to sell

W0O[FS WALK ID
 GETFAT ANDLEAN

Livingston, April 6.-tSpecal.) )-Consid- erable attention was attracted here this morning by the arrival of Mir and Mrs. D. H. Woolf of Kansas City. who are walking from Kansas City to New York by San Antonio. Tex, and back to Kan sas City. They carry a twowheel pack cart, pulled by a good, gentle horse. They also carry a watch dog with them. They are not trying for a purse or prize as walkers usually do, but MT. Woolf is endeavoring to get fat and his wife IS trying to get lean. Both seem to have struck the happy medium and are the affable manners and make friends with the crowds quickly. .--
 Mir. Woolf gives free violin concert and their only source of revenue being the sale of post cards wherever they go. Quite number were sold here The peo- pie were interested in Woolfs narrative and appreciated his music. When asked by The Age-Herald's representative how often they rode on the pack cart Woolf on your hear" As your representative has considerable advoirdupois, he sur missed that they seldom rode.
 The Woolfs average 20 miles a day, oftentimes walking 25 miles. Their best Is 30 miles. Their horse has one of the best walks ever seen. In fact, one won ders whether the Woolfs taught the horse or the horse taught the Woolfs. They all walk alike
  party In Birmingham. They go by Gainesville, Eutaw and Tuscaloosa. The only depressing part of their story is tEeir description of our southern roads. They say that they struck some good roads in Texas. In Louisiana all the roads were bad. In Mississippi the roads worked by the convict system are good. Whether or not the Woolfs were just be ing pleasant" is hard to say, but they re- port Sumter county's roads In fairly good condition They also say that the north ern roads are far superior to ours.

CROSS PEARCE'S TRIAL COMES NEXT AnnistOn Pastor Advertises Bible Class With Big
 Success

Anniston, April 1s.-(Special.) With the
 conclusion of the case against Dr. John
 E Pearce, principal in the famous feud
 and alleged conspiracy which eliminated
 in the death of Shelt and Sarge Kennedy,
 father and son, on the Calhoun Etowah
 border line on January Ii, the work of
 Solicitor Tunstall and associates has just
 begun for there remain five more of the alleged conspirators to be tried this week, or at the present term of the An-
 niston city court.
 It was intended to have finished the case of Dr. Pearce, the dentist and saw mill owner, by last Thursday but the great mass of testimony and the extend
 ed arguments of the attorneys protracted the case through the entire week. Hence there is said to be a probability that all
 of the cases will not be reached at this term of court, and in that event it is probable that the attorneys for the de-
 fense will make an effort to secure bail
 for the remainder of their clients. Just what, if any, effect the verdict in the case of Dr. Pearce will have on the trial of the other cases is not known It 
 l is likely, however, that the question of bail for the other defendants will depend | largely upon this verdict and it is be- lieved that the, other cases will be ex lpedited, as the testimony in all of the
 cases will be about the same. The next defendants to be placed on the stand, according to the plans, will be Cross Pearce, son of Dr. Pearce. He has l admitted that he shot young Sarge Ken nedy, whose death was for some time | uraccountable, and the only issue in- velved in his trial will be that of justih-
 cation. The state will try to prove that the boy Kennedy was shot in the back while running. Bill Kennedy, the aged father and grandfather; Ada Kennedy,
 his daughter; John Eaton and John Fow- Ter, sawmill hands and teamsters, will
 be the next to be tried. They are all in jail except the woman.
 A precedent was established in this
 city last Saturday afternoon when Rev. George Stoves. pastor of the First Meth
 ooist church, inserted a large display ad- vertisemerit. in the Evening Star with view of securing 100 members at his Sun day school class Sunday morning. It was the first time in Anniston that printers ink had been used to further Bible class
 work, but the experimented proved to Or. Stoves that advertising pays.

lands are in better condition to insure crops than before for the past ten years. More rain has fallen on what was once known as the Great Amer ican Desert" since the first of January than was ever known before at cor responding period of the year. The oldest inhabitant can not recall SC much rainfall or a season when every condition was so promising. It can truthfully be said that southwest Texas is abloom with crops as it never was before. In addition to putting the lands in perfect condition by cultivation, tn. farmer finds himself with everything g at hand that insures success. The great irrigation pools with pumping plants ready for servic provide him with mois- ture sufficient for all purposes even should the coming summer prove un- seasonable by a cessation of rainfall.

ROOF OF CHURCH
 STOLEN BY THIEVES

New York, April 16-(Special.)-Ths theft of the roof of the Mccadden Me- moI;al church in Williamsburg today was the climax of series of thieveries in that section of the city The thieves had already stolen all the lead pipe equipment of the plumbing. Not content with that they went back today and took the copper sheathng that covered the building and valued at s70O. Trucks were used to cart it away.
 Only two months ago thieves broke into the same edifice and stole lead pipe valued al 5000.
 That was bad enough unused ths Rev. Fathec William B. Farrell, pastor of the church. "but the stealing of thu roof of McCadden Memorial Friday nigh certainly caps the climax of robbery"
