Henry j. BexGeld. who lives at

volume, which was printed In Lon

England in 1477. the antiquity OF
lhe book can be appreciated.
1t came into possession OF MT.

1t in 1926 in the chimney OF an an

city of Norwich. In notation made

alderman Pyes aims houses for
700 pounds cash and that he re
built same with premises for my
self". 1t was in this house that MI
Bexfield was born.
The old bible was brought to TINS
country by a brother of Mr.. BiNne'u'
Who settled in Virginia. While there
one years ago MIR. BeXtield secured
Uosession of the book and has care

The Diaz and Madero representa-

A CHANCE FOR B:ooY.

opportunity to distinguish herself.
Problems of CONFERENCE.-THE in
terest are to be solved at the first
American Egg-laying Congress in
Spokane, beginning next November
and continuing IL months.
1t is free and open to the world.
Plans are to have at least two en-
tries of six chickens each from every
state and territory in the Union and
province in Canada.
Among other things this inform
alton is sought:
Will 800 chickens support an
average family?
What are the. best for CONNER
cial eggs.
What is the actual cost of, pro-
ducing eggs?
What are the prime requisites, for
successful agriculture?
What: state, province or territory
produces the best layers? '
John c. Lee, a former newspaper
man, now poultry ~rancher at Hill
yard, WASH, who originated the con-
gress idea, has submitted tentative
plans to A. G.. Ware, chairman of
the poultry and game committee of
Spokane chamber of commerce, for
formal discussion and action at the
next monthly meeting of that body
early in June.
"This is not to be a competitive
exposition for fancy breeds or feath-
ers nor money-making scheme
Mr.. Lee said, "but an educational
affair in the best sense of the term.
There will be no medals or cash
prizes, though diplomas and ribbons
may be awarded for the best prod
ucers. Primarily we are seeking ac-
curate information on which is not
now available through the regular
channels
Present plans are to set tract
of land near Spokane and erect the
necessary. buildings for the care of
the fowls. Experts will be placed in
charge and a record kept of every
pen, the money returns going to the
owners. We believe we can ac-
complish good results here, as we
have an even climate, and none. of
the. diseases common. to the chicken
family such as cholera and gapes."
