The world must stop kickin left

the Rev. Or. William n. Frye, pastor
of the Orange Methodist church, AT

While DIR. Frye. in clevating the

solely upon the specific benefits of be-

a better moral from the biblical story.

HOW ABOUT
THESE HENS?

Former Town Clerk Mike Zelli-
Dor of Miller, who IS now farming
down in the Little Calumet marsh
back OF Aetna. has reading rooms
for his hens. This Fact came out
the other day when he came into
THE TIMES office and asked for
some old stereotyperss mats for use
in roofing his hen house. etc BY
using these he says the egg produc-
ton is increased wonderfully. and
here Is how he does 1t:
Mr.. Zellibor uses stereotyper's
mats for roofing his hen houses.
These are the stiff boards, one for
a page of a newspaper. and the
printing and pictures come out posi-
lively on them. He soon discovered
that the hens were nearly twisting
their necks off trying to see the pic
trues and read the news on the
mats.
Then he began to use the mats
with great success as sideboards in
his hen houses. The result was that
the hen. instead of gadding about
the hen yards all day, would be In
terested in sitting on their nests
reading the news.
Gradually as the hens began to
visit around they found other sides
of hen houses which interested
| them, and they would swap houses
| for an afternoon with each other.
| The result was then two eggs a hen
a day. OF course 1T takes a hen a
l long time to read page of a news
/ paper, and Mr.. Zellibor figures that
| his present supply of mats ought to
last him about ten years.
1t Is a common report about the
/ town among the neighbors that GER
tain of his hens prefer the Wall
street news, while others prefer the
society pages. Mr.. Zellibor denies
this, but he does not deny that the
reason he took out the Woman
Page" was that the hens fought
jealousy for the nest that it shell
tered.
