 TOBACCO BUSINESS
c. W. ELKlNs, STOCKHOLDERS WELCOMES SUPREME COURT
 DECISION
Says Trusts Will be Glad to operasc Within the Scope of the Fed
 erai Statutes.


 Philadelphia, May 30.-The iecis ion Of the Supreme Court in the to. bacco trust case will clarify the bust ness situation and prove an immedi- ate boom in business generally. in tho opinion of George w. Elkins. a large stoclsholder and director in the Amer Dean Tobacco Company
 fl have very little to discnss abou- the case. except to express my very positive belief that the tobacco com pany and all other corporation, are gesirous Q fcomplylng with the law and win doubtless adjust their busi- ness to meet the required conditions, said MT. Elkins. T believe conn- dence will be restored at once as inc result of this decision and that bus ness will improve rapidly.
 At the regular meeting of the to- baceo company directors, which w'il be held tomorrow in New York, an quite. sure steps will be taken to W K out in conjunction with the circuiI court q plan of readiustment that will be in full compliance with the sSlt preme Courts mandate. Just on what lines that plan will be predicated cannot, of course, now say.
 .I am strongly in favor of a na' tlonal corporation act, waich will as near as gan possibly be done define the exact business limitations of cor porations doing an interstate bust ness. Often for the sake of the fees which go into their treasuries states grant charters with the widest pos. sible powers with the result that cor porations are either hampered or pre- vented from doing business in nsfe' states.

Poultry on inc Farm.

During the past few years thous- ands have gone into the poultry business. Hundreds have made a failure of it. The person who goes into the poultry business must pre- pare himself beforehand as thor oughly as possible and he must go slow
 There is money in the poultry business in Arkansas. Few of us stop to figure up this item in our annual income. Yet the income per person was something like $16.OO during the last year. Counting five persons to the faml- ly, each family received during the last year, an income of something like $9O.OO in the value of the poultry produced on the farm. All or a part of this value may have been consumed on the farm.
 Some people consider it an insult for one to insinuate that they do not know how to raise chickens. Yet the number who fail to be success ful poultry raisers is greater than the number who succeed. Among the chief causes of failure are: Errors in feeding and in buying feed. If our people used the same judgment in feeding their poultry that they use in feeding their dairy COWS, more satisfactory results would be secured. Other causes of failure are: Errors in choosing a breed suitable for a particular purpose; errors in caring for and housing fowls; faulty locations.
 We have had educations along different lines emphasized, but few of us have thought it necessary to study poultry before attempting to raise them. Recently plans for the organization of school poultry clubs were Promulgated. No one, for an instant. discounts the very efficient work done by the Boys Corn Club. The Poultry Clubs have just as great opportunities for efficient work.

Killing Time.

Oh, it sort Q seems to me. as face eternity, and consider how much work have in view, that the biggest earthly crime is this thing of killing time, which so many idle fellows seem to do. am ever more in haste: have not an hour to waste; I've a million things to do before die; and the minutes<as they flee are as precious unto me as the diamonds that an actress wants to buy. Now he comes with nerve sublime, some tired bore who's killing time, and he has grist of stories he would tel; by my writing desk he stops, and he gurgles and he yawns, till take an ax and kill him, with a yell. Peo- pie partial to this crime of ami hilating time might be pardoned if they'd kill their own; but they mur- der yours and mine-kill our mo- ments as they shine, butcher minutes which are rightly ours alone. Which is why I say in rhyme that the men who kill our time should be banished to an island in the sea. where. among the leafy bowers they can kill a string of hours and not have a chance to bother you and me- Walt Mason.
