MAKE CASE
FOR SHOUTING RELIGION

DALTON, Ca, May SO.-Is it a near
crime" to get religion and shout it out to
the annoyance of the neighbors? This
question developed here Sunday night
when negro woman, growing enthusi-
astically religious, started to shouting.
The patrol wagon, in charge of Police
man Britton, FASTENED to the scene,
where the officers quickly surrounded the
house and began a cautious advance.
They found the woman entirely harmless,
religion having got the upper hand.
She stated that several times previously
she had thought she had religion but
she knew that it was a mistake, as she
was then experiencing her first genuine
attack, brought on by thinking of her
dead daughter. After trying vainly to
remember some clause in the city code
against shouting ones religion from the
housetops, Policeman Britton gave it up
and refused to make a case.

White Leghorns generally have the edge
on all competitors.
Another point is that the White Leg
horn is the largest of the Leghorn fam
lily, and lays an egg one-fourth larger
than other Leghorns.
"Stnl another reason I have for Sc
lecting White Leghorns is that if you
wish to sell market fowls, the Leghorn is
a fairly good sized bird, and the broilers
mature much more quickly, in my opin-
ion, than broilers of other breeds.
BEST EGG PRODUCERS.
However. my principal reason for Sc
1ecting the breed is that White Leghorns
are the best egg producers to be found.
have raised chickens all of my life,
and 1 have never found a hen to equal
the White Leghorn for consistent lay
ing.
"As evidence of the egg producing
qualities of the White Leghorn it is easy
to note that practically all of the great
egg farms are male up of White Leg
horns exclusively.
1.-THE largest egg farms are near big
cities like New York, and / find any
number of them, which use the exclus-
i've breed. One egg farm, where the
owner constantly keeps 5000 eggs, is made
up of this breed, and 1 could point out
a dozen other similar farms, while I
know of no very large egg farms where
any other breed is used exclusively.
s Generally, 1 believe in White Leg
horns"
