Why Esss Don't Hatch.

: There are two main reasons why
eggs do not hatch. One reason IL
too many hens with one male bird.
Another reason, keeping the eggs too
long time before setting them, eggs
being too old. The yolk Of the egg
softens and when they reach that
point the egg will not germinate. In
sending eggs by express the germ
OF the egg is started by the heat OF

HAS AN ENvIABLE RECORD.
Auditor ,BIeakly's Conduct of Office 10
commendable.

The record made by Auditor OF
State, John L. Bleakly, in his admins
tration of the affairs Of that office will
bear with credit, the closest and most
critical investigation. 1t is good
record. 1t will show every detail OF
the conduct of each department to
have been carried forward with fideli-
ty and faithfulness. 1t will show a
constantly increasing amount of busi-
ness transacted in each department
without increase in cost to the state.
Such an investigation will show
that when Mr.. Bleakly was installed
as Auditor of State, the banking de-
partment, of his office had supervis-
ion over about 900 banks. Now that
supervision extends to 1898 banks. II
will be shown that SO careful and ca
pable has been the lawful scrutiny Of
these institutions that not a single
failure has been recorded and not a
penny has been lost by a depositor
In any of the banks.
During the last biennial period the
cost to the state In operation or the
banking department, including the
salary and expense accounts OF ex-
aminers has been 0,867.61. The fees
from banks received by the depart
ment amounted to $41,057.20. In 9th.
er words the banking department has
paid for its own operation, and has
turned into the state treasury clear
profit of $1o.18s.59.
In the insurance department there
| has been a similar increase during
Mr.. Bleakly's administration. There
are close to 500 separate insurance
companies, (life, FIRE, casualty. acci.
dent and healthy doing business In
the state. A watchful eye Is kept on
all of them by Mr.. Bleakly. The total
expense Of operating the insurance
department of the Auditors office the
past two years has been $45,970. For
the same period the receipts OF the
department. have been $142,931.93
The sum turned into the state treas.
ury as a profit to the commonwealth
was $96,961.93. Besides these fees.
during the biennial period, the insur
ance companies paid into the state
treasury, taxes amounting to $40,
246.26.
The affairs Of the Auditors Office
under Mr.. Bleakly's administration
have at all times been administered
with fairness and fidelity both to the
letter OF the law and to the rights OF
the people. With Mr.. Bleakly, public
Office has indeed proven a public
trust The affairs OF this office have
with him been the affairs Of the peo-
pie TALL the people) of the state and
I .he has conducted them with that one
thought in view. His reelection will
be only just recognition due a pub
lie servant, faithful to the people In
all things at all times.
