WISE TIGHTWAD IS BEATEN
How "Percy Chambers" Thought He
Was Getting the Best of Rail-

Chicago.-This is the story OF
pnghtwad beaten at his own game.
The tightwad, a Chicagoan, who Will
b known here as Percy Chambers, be-
cause that is not his name, was In st.
Joe, Mo-, recently. and wanted to go to
Salt Lake ON a business trip, but he
hated to pay out $1,000, which was the
advertised rate for the round trip. SO
Percy hunted up friend who was In
town with a theatrical company bound
for Denver.
'Joe, will you smuggle me to Denver
on your company ticket?" he asked.
"well, it's up to you," said Joe. my
ticket calls for eighteen fares and we
have our own sleeper. II you can
smuggle yourself into q berth SO you
won't be counted by the conductor, al
right; I'll furnish the berth, but II he
finds you, you've got to pay"
That satisfactorily arranged, Percy
gayly brought his suitcase to the car
on the night OF departure. boarded 1t
and succeeded In getting past the ar
gus-eyed conductor safely. When he
ct foot In Denver he sighed a sigh OF
10Y at having saved so much money.
mot only am ahead Of the game to
the amount of the fare to Denver" he
said to himself, but | saved the sleep
or fare. which is several bucks to the
good"
Then he went out and purchased
ticket to Salt Lake. This cost him $1S
and he groaned I'm spirit but paid
When he arrived in Salt Lake and
transacted his business he went to the
station to buy his return ticket to st

The clerk made It out, stamped II
and threw II before him.
"Thirty dollars, please"
What" gasped Percy. why, the
round trip fare is only $1,000"
Sure" was the response. That's
the summer tourist rate, just 80 cents
higher than the one way"
Percy paid. Then he went back Il
his hotel and figured II out:

THE wtAIiGR AND THE CROPS.

a though ii is yet rather early to
discuss crop conditions, the fact
cannot DO overlooked that the char
acter Of the seasons crops depends
very largely upon the character Of
the weather at this season of the
year. There has been an extra
ordinary absence of rain during the
mouths Of February and March,
and this deficiency in rainfall has
not only initiated against the early
vegetable and berry crops, but has
delayed the planting Of such crops
as cotton and corn, and in instances
where corn has already been plant
cd, termination has been prevented.
1t would be unsise to assume.
however, that because the rainfall
has been deficient so far this spring
that the prospect Of good crops has
been diminished. 1t is yet too
early to plant cotton in a greater
part OF the cotton belt, and although
some corn has been planted, the
failure Of the seed to terminate does
not preclude the possibility Of a
good crop. The fine weather has
helped the thorough preparation Of
the fields, and should rains be ex-
%perienced in the near future there
would be nothing TO prevent good
crops Of cotton and corn.
All accounts agree in reporting
that there have been much larger
purchases Of fertilizers and mules
than usual, indicating that farmers
are determined to increase cotton
acreage II possible, II is not yet
too late for good rains to put the
land in the proper shape for plant
ing and termination, and all indi-
cations point to the possibility, If
not the prospect, Of rain in the near
future. A big cotton crop is abso-
lntely needed to provide the supply
Of raw cotton necessary for the
worlds consumption, and unless
conditions prove Unexpectedly I'M
propitions, a large acreage is sure
TO be seeded in cottcn,
The south has in recent years
learned the Importance Of growing
q large crop Of corn, hence it 10
certain that o full corn acreage will
be planted, and with anything like
good weather there is sure TO be q
COED corn crop. Vegetables alone
have been seriously hurt by the
dry weather, and unless good rains
are experienced in the near future
our crop Of early vegetables Is
sure to DO curtailed. Pretty much
the same conditions exist with re-
spect to the strawberry crop.

these things;
For clean name, unsullied by ques-

human relations.
For an untainted birth, with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished us before birth and made
careful preparation for our coming.
For wholesome food sufficient cloth
ing, and comfortable shelter until our
coming of age, or during the lifetime
of our parents.
For education, according to the best
standards of which they knew suited
to our individual needs and possibili-

own livings.
For such knowledge of our bodies
and minds, and such reverence fol-
them as makes intemperance impos-

KEEPING CHICKENS IN COLD
inexperienced Poultry Raisers Make
Mistake in Furnishing Quarters
That Are Too Warm.

One OF the mistakes made by nearly
all the inexperienced poultry raisers Is
in keeping the chickens too warm in
winter. They cannot bring themselves
to believe that the hen is so warmly
clad that 1t can live in the open like
quail, partridge. prairie chicken and
other wild fowl ets
No one would think of furnishing
warm quarters for the sparrow OF the
wild pigeon. Feathers are non-conduc-
tors and as comfortable as furs. They
are so thickly placed on the chicken
that the cold cannot get through nor
can the body heat get out. The only
shelter that chicken really needs is
from wet and from drafts
A chicken that is Injured to cold
weather is not so spt to get sick.
Many coops are open in front, only
curtains Of burlap or some other cheap
material being provided to protect the
chicken from stormy weather.
