FERTILIZATION AND DEFERTILi-
ZATION OF EGGS

1t is often Il question with poultry
raisers as to how soon eggs become
fertile after mating chickens and how
soon eggs become germcss after mat
Tgs are broken.
Two experiments here at riverside
with White Wyandotte cock and ten
hens carried on for ten days. in which
the eggs laid were set and tested. will
be of interest. On the third day after
mating % per cent were fertile, on the
fourth 40 per cent. on the fifth so per
cent. on the sixth GO per cent, on the
seventh 20 per cent, on the eighth 70
per cent and on the tenth day &c per
cent.
Seventy-f1ve to so per cent is consid-
cred an excellent average fertility for
vigorous fowls under ordinary condi-
tons, so that ten days may be cOnsid-
cred time enough for excellent results
unless the breed is very large, clum-
sy type.
The male and hens were then sepa.
rated and the eggs as laid were again
set and tested to determine the dura-
ton Of fertility after male was re-
moved.
On the third day after separation "a
per cent of eggs were fertile. on the
fourth 20 per cent, on the fifth GO per

NEWS

New goods are crowding in so
fast these days that we hardly
know what to tell you about first.
One lot Of goods that seems to
interest most Of our customers is
a trunk full of sample coats, suits
and dresses that a travelling sales
man left with us to sell. By mis-
take his house sent him dupli-
cate samples Of about 80 gar
ments and not wishing to go to
the trouble and expense Of send
ing them back to New York he
sold them to us at a big discount.
Our regular orders had all been
placed but we saw chance here
to dispose Of this lot quickly be-
fore our other goods could pos
sibly reach us and so have mark
ed them at the regular wholesale
prices. The discount we get will
satisfy us for profit. All manu-
facturers put their best tailors on
the work of making samples and
consequently sample garments
nearly always are better finished
than regular stock garments even
in the most reliable lines. OF
course we cannot fit everybody
IN these but we have sizes to fit
most any one from 80 to 80 bust
measure, and when you buy one
Of these you may be sure that no
one else will have one like yours.
All the new Spring styles in
shoes are in and to look at them
means to buy at least one pair.
Never before have people been so
eXtravagant in the purchase of
shoes. Formerly two good pairs
was about all the average woman
possessed at one time, but now
all that is changed. Most any
young Miss wants one or two
pairs of colored "Party Slippers y
one pair of black Pumps in either
patent or suede leather, and one
pair each Of white buck, tan calf
and black gun metal street shoes.
We have the new styles in wide
variety and the prices in this de-
partment are particularly attrac-
tive. Don't forget us when the
children need shoes, too. We
make special effort to get the kind
that fit right and also have the
wearing qualities and at prices
that are bound to prove attrac-
tive to you.
Spring is certainly here and the
sooner you get your new clothes
the longer you'll have to wear
them before they become out-of-
date.

THREE MONTHS IN JAIL

HOQUIAM, Feb. 1O.-Three months
in the county Jail was the sentence
melted out to George Greene, logger,
for giving liquor to an Indian. Greene
gave bottle of whiskey to Harry
Shale, a member of the Quiniault
tribe, and officers, who saw the deed,
arrested him on the spot. 1t has been
hard to secure convictions in cases
of this kind, as the Indians will not
tell who give them liquor, but the
number of drunken Indians seen here,
has spurred the police to put stop
to the practice.

Twenty-fifth Anniversary Gel
ebrated with Reception
and Luncheon

A quarter century of growth, from
a modest establishment with small
stock OF clocks. to its present large
size and splendid equipment, is today
being celebrated by H. F. Wichman &
Co.
In commemoration of the twenty
fifth birthday of the business, Mr..
Wichman, president of the company,
and his associates were today the
hosts at an informal reception from
IL to o'clock, during which a de-
licious buffet luncheon was served.
The reception was really one that last.
ed all day long, for all day the many
friends of the company and it's per-
sonnet were dropping in to proffer
their congratulations upon the sue.
cessful completion Of twenty-five years
of business achievement.
Roses, asters, hibiscus and other
beautiful flowers, potted ferns and
plants were used to decorate the shop
with exquisite effect Many of the
flowers had been sent by friends in
compliment to the anniversary. The
beauty of the stores interior decora.
tons, enhanced by the brilliance of
jewels, the glitter of precious metal
and the dazzle of cut glass, was
heightened by the tasteful arrange
ment of the flowers in vases.
Twenty-Five years ago, in 1887, the
business was started in small shop
On Fort street just above King. 1t
has grown steadily ever since, and
the cordality of the greetings and the
congratulations extended today proved
the popularity of the firm and its bus
mess with, Honolulu folk. It was a
unique and appropriate celebration,
and the welcome given the patrons
who called today was one they will
long remember.

Collecting Campaign Funds.

If DR.. Wilson's suggestion is adopt
ed that the banks OF this country should
become agencies for the collection of
campaign funds, how could they pos
sibly keep out of politics? The fact they
would collect for all parties would
make little difference. Comment would
be invited, no matter how scrupulously
honest the money would be accounted
for and handed over to the parties for
whom it was destined, and it would be
a matter of daily publicity how much
more there had been received for one
party or how much less for another,
thus in an indirect way influencing pub
lie opinion.
The proper agencies for the collec-
ton of partisan funds are partisan; in
other words, the party committees and
the party newspapers, if the latter care
to do the work Party work can only
be done by party workers who have
an interest in the success of the party,
and not by outsiders who merely would
act as mechanical functionaries.

or by discounting bills OF exchange.
also on mortgages.
The Ambassador reports that these
banks find no difficulty in borrowing
from the large banks at rates averag-
ing less than 4 per cent on their total
working capital, and they pay dividends
to their shareholders of from 5 to z
per cent as a rule. In few cases
even they are still more profitable.
They deposit their. funds not needed
for current business with these larger
institutions, maintaining relations
which extend financial mobility
through the entire system.
Mr.. Leishman suggests that these
banks, because developed along more
strictly commercial lines, would be
more useful as models for cooperative
credit in the United States than the
rural institutions, which are peculiarly
fitted for the simple needs of the peas
ants having knowledge of and interest
in one another's affairs.
