HEN PAYS HER FARE
FOR A TROLLEY RIDE

i; Brockton, Mass, March S.
On the way in from West
Bridgewater, a trolley car picked
up a bewildered hon on the
fender. The motorman lifted tho
fowl from it's p~eriIous position
and set it on a sand pail on the
front platform.
"You the company 5
cents," said the conductor to the
feathered passenger at the end
Of tho route. The hen CLICKED
affirmati~ely, but sat still. When
the a got back to where the
cackler had got on tho fender
she flew off the pail, disclosing
a fresh laid egg.
An ordinary fresh laid egg is
worth 5 cents, which would have
paid the hens fare only in one
direction. When the ega was
broken open it was found she
had paid both ways with a
double yolk. II was the best
she could do.

TAFT'S PROCLAMATION
CONVEYS FOREST LAND

Divided Parcels of State School
Land Exchanged for CO.,
143 Acre Tract.

Washington, March 5.-To provide
FOR carrying out an agreement under
which South Dakota school lands VIII
be exchanged for national forest land
OF equal area and value, President
Tart has signed a proclamation which
makes it possible for the state to select
immediately 60,143 acres of land from
the Harvey and Sioux National for
ests. This will permit of indemnity
selection by the state in place or
school lands, lying along and within
the boundaries of the Black Hills Ma
tional forest, which Will become part
of the forest.
A board of three. on which Super
visor Paul kelleter, of the Black Hills
National forest, has represented the
department of agriculture, and +. +.
Brinker, commissioner of the depart
ment of school and public lands of
the state of South Dakota, has rep
resented the state, with Seth Bullock
as the third member, has made a
careful study to learn the value both
of the school lands and Of the areas
not relinQuished by the government.
Field parties have gathered data for
every section involved, with the result
that the lieu areas are known to be q
fair exchange for the school lands to
which the state relinquishes it's claim.
This exchange is the first fruit Of
a plan inaugurated by the forest SER
vice several years ago, n laid before
the governors of various western
states with a view to settling the
vexed question of school lands within
national forests. An agreement SINH
lar to that with the state of South
Dakota has been entered into with
Idaho and negotiations with other
states are pending. The consolida-
ton of areas into compact bodies will
enable both the states and the forest
service to manage their respective
holdings more advantageously h a
would otherwise be possible, and Will

turns for the benefit of it's schools.
