GIVE THE HENS AN AIM IN LIFE.

Whether not the hen will lay often
and consistently when it has worthy
purpose to inspire it will be demonstrated.
In order to replace a $4,000 tabernacle at Ma
grath, Alberta, it has been decided to set aside
hens of that section. The optimistic Mormons of
Alberto confident that by this procedure suf-
ficent money viii be secured for the new taber-
nacle by harvest time They have perfect conf
dence in their hens.
Surely such an object should inspire the hens
of Alberta to break all records The output of
that region ought to show more eggs per hen
than any of the celebrated egg-layng contests
that have been held in this country, for while
any hen with the sporting instinct will lay a re-
markable number of eggs in contest, she will
produce even when she is laying with a
high and worthy purpose Also she will cackle
in more spirited and triumphant fashion when
she realizes that her efforts will be properly APP

its followers conscious that their work is to
