BOOSTERS CAUSE BIG
LOSS TO POULTRYMEN.

Manhattan. June 2S.-Declaring
that Kansas poultrymen could save
million dollars annually by PEN
ming up all roosters during the sum
mer season, w. A. Lippincott, pro-
lessor OF poultry husbandry at the
Kansas agricultural college, told the
Kansas Poultry Federation 9 today
that law was needed to prevent
this loss. Forty-two per cent Of the
loss in market eggs at this season
is due to fortified eggs, he said.
They rot much quicker than eggs
not fertile. If poultrykeepers would
seclude or sell cockerels this loss
would be prevented.

PASTOR HOPES BERRY
WILL BE GOVERNOR

William II. Berry. collector Of GUS
toms of Philadelphia, and former
State treasurer of Pennsylvania, ad-
dressed the Westminster Mems Club
OF Hanover Presbyterian Church last
night. He was introduced by the
Rev. r. l.. Jackson, pastor of the
church, who said: 1T gives me great
pleasure to introduce TO you the man
whom / pray to God will be the next
Governor Of Pennsylvania"
Mr.. Berry pointed out chat value is
not a quantity, and that there is no
value when there is no competition.
He said all comparison of values led
up to a discourse on monopoly. The
speaker continued: Monopoly is the
thing that has got the world by the
throat, and there is no getting away
from it," Mr.. Berry explained that
any thing that prevents the free flow
of human effort into any channel is
monopoly, and that human slavery is
the result of monopoly.
The speaker expanded on the ques-
tion of environment and how it af-
fects human life. He said that in
this matter of development the game
has just begun AS we learn to de-
velop, we are corresponding more
and more with environment. Even In
our churches we are getting the
twentieth century Interpretation of
the gospel Human freedom. he said,
lis at the bottom of this great scheme.
Human freedom or the opportunity 20
choose is fundamental.
