THE DECLINE OF WILLING
 SERVICE.

In a New York newspaper the other day, a correspondent com plained that the servants in his apartment house were not satisfied with their Christmas tips. His fam fly had been subjects to petty perse- cutions Letters had been held back, the elevator stopped at the wrong floor, etc. Yet the complaining em- ployes, some 20 in number, had had purse of S75O from the tenants.
 If such instances were confined to Manhattan island, where conditions are very artificial, they would have no general significance. But this spirit is creeping all over the coun- sy.
 The writer recollects one occas- sion, when as a boy he stopped a runaway horse. When the owner came up and offered him a quarter, he promptly refused it. He was not complaining of the size of the tip, either The offer was a surprise and somehow went against the grain. Nine out of 10 boys of his size and age would have done the same.
 Such a refusal would strike a great many men today as quixotic and high flown. But it was prob ably based on some unconscious feeling that members of a common community owe each other certain services as members of the com munity.
 This spirit, for instance, is more prevalent in the West than in the
  East. In Denver, Colo, a man .nce went blocks out of his way to as- sist the writer to find his destina- ton. In New York they'd simply say Ask a policement." if indeed they would deign to reply.
 The old type of country commun- ity developed a spirit of helpful ser vice that has disappeared in modern city life. When neighbor was sick, his woodpile by mysterious means found it's way into the shed. Watchers sat the long hours of midnight unpaid.
 Today every five minutes of time is itemized in the bili. Often you must pay two prices, one to the owner and another to his agent, as the distressed correspondent in New York is learning to his sorrow.

CHINA SHOULD BE RECOG-
 NEED.

Practical and sentimental reasons call for the early recognition of the Chinese Republic by the United States. In the first year of its ex- istence the new republic has given indications of its stability and its certainty to accomplish the tremen- dous task of establishing for 400, 100000 people, in place of the most obsolete form of government, Re publican form which promises en- dxrance The overthrow of the Manchu dynasty was accomplished with comparatively little confusion and bloodshed, when the conditions which existed in China before the open revolt of the young Chinese is considered.
 There is sentiment even in diplo- macy and sentiment demands that the United States be the first na- ton to welcome the New China. The Chinese drew their inspiration for their revolt against the century old tyranny of the Manchus from oEr own war of the revolution. The Chinese revolt was managed and to a great extent financed by Chinese Tn the United States. The new re- public is being modelled after the fashion of government which was established in the United States and which has excited the admiration sf one Of the greatest authorities on political economy.
 The leaders of the new republic have the best of feeling for this gov ernment They are anxious that the United States, of all nations, should reap the benefit of trade with China. They recognized the wisdom of the United States to restrict immigra- ton to this country from their coun- try. One of the first acts of the new government of China was to signify its intention to participate in the Panama-Pacifc Exposition on as lavish a scale as any of the nations This was done despite the apparent reluctance of the United States government to recognize China as one of the great nations.
 Doubt as to the stability of the new republic and as to the changed attitude of the people seems to be the obstacle in the way of recognit- ien. The conduct of the Chinese re- volution should be evidence enough to dispel any such doubt. Consider ing the number of people and the extent of the territory involved it was one of the most decisive and intelligent ever carried out to a sue cessful conclusion.
 The people of the Pacific coast, who were once violently opposed to the Chinese, are in the best position 10 observe indications of the change. While they are still as strongly op- posed as ever to letting down the bars to coolie immigration, they have learned to respect and to cher ish the best of feeling for the Chin csc with whom they have had busi- ness relations The Pacific coast i, a unit in its desire for the recognit- ion of the Chinese republic by the United States.
 Since the revolution the Chinese who are in this country have taken pains to show their resolution 10 forget everything connected with the Manchu government. Within the year every queue in San Fran cisco's Chinatown has disappeared

the egg laying capacity of the fowls.
In other werds, how must we breed
ehickens In order to get higher egg
yield from them?"
In his work Prof. Dryden wandered
from the we'll formed line of procedure
il breeding for fancy points, and bred
for egg laying ability. lie chose for
breeding purpose only the best layers
and from them built up new race of
birds, breeding and inter-breeding. In
time he arrived at the point where he
could mate birds, both of whom had an
ancestry of high egg layers.
In order to make his new breed or
race of birds of highest practical value,
Prof. Dryden has not surrounded them
by extraordinary conditions, but has
only given them the care and attention
that any commercial poultry raiser
would give. His production is, there
fore, entirely matter of breeding for
definite purpose.
Prof. Dryden has been requested to
place the new champion on exhibition.
but refuses to do so, as he fears some
injury to the hen. 1t is his desire to
oulld up a permanent race of birds
from these high record hens that will
be OF distinct value to the egg produc-
ers Of the state.
In the comparatively short time
Prof. Dryden has been at the head of
the .. A. G. poultry department, he
has by this work of breeding up new
race of heavy layers done more for the
state than the state can repay. The
census report for 1910 showed that the
egg production of Oregon more than
equalled its entire apple production in
value. And when it is taken into con-
stIeration that most al these eggs were
produced at loss because of the low
efficiency of the average hen, the value
of Prof. Dryden's patient and system
attic work can be understood.

The Supremacy of Verse.

Gray's "Elegy' was not much es-
teemed by its author, who in one of
his letters said that the public would
have received it us well had 1t been
written in prose- The poet was a
poor critic, for the third line of the
first stanZa achieves the supremacy OF
verse There can scarcely be another
10 equal II in English literature, "The
plowman homeward pods bis weary
way" Now. that line is such a sn-
preme ,,verse that you may recite it
this way and that and 1t is still as
good MS ever:
The weary plovman homeward plods his
way,
Homeward the weary plowman plods his
way.
Weary, the plowman homeward pods his
way.
The plowman, weary pods his homeward
way
Homeward the plowman plods his weary
way,
The plowman plods bis weary homeward
way.
And SO on. But if it is not poetry it
is the supremacy OF verse.--London
