THE GREAT AMERICAN HEN.

Ths great American hen has ar
ways been a great bird. Nevertheless.
she is growing fast Twenty years
ago she required assistance from the
hens of the world in order to meet
the American demand for her pro-
ducts. Today she not only supplies
almost the entire American market,
but is a big factor in supplying the
world
Figures Just published by the do
partment of commerce show that dur
ing the fiscal year 1913 the United
States exported over 100000 dozen
Of eggs. against 100000 dozen ten
years ago and $4,000 dozen twenty
years ago. The 1913 exports included
20, $50 dozen of whole eggs, valued
at $4,391 1853, and Of $67, 1854 worth OF
yolks and canned eggs, making q
total OF billion eggs exported dur
ing the year.

wishes to tell her Wayland friends as

From Bob Burdette.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Robert ].
Burdet who once made famous JOY
in Burlington and is enshrined in ey-
cry heart here as beloved, is said to
be dying on the Pacific coast. The
news will come with cruel force to
those who have known and have loved
him as a prince of the morning light
as one of Gods chosen comforts to
mankind. Evidently Mr.. Burdette
knows of his approaching end, for he
has written a beautiful letter to his
old congregation in Temple church,
Los Angeles, in which he gives voice
to something akin to farewell, and to
a sentiment which has always cluns
about the things that he has said and
written. In this let er sent from
"Eventide," at Clifton-by -the-oea, Cal,
he says:

bound, but I am woefully weak. /

A REMARKABLE ADVANCE.

The Railway Age Gazeere remarks
correctly that when the radical change
in design from wood to steel passen-
ger train cars Is considered, the rapid
ity with which steel cars have been
introduced on American railways Is
truly remarkable. Five years ago there
were only about 400 such cars in use
on steam roads, and most of these
were in the nature of experiments,
necessitated largely by the electrified
ton of the steam roads In and about
New York city. Today there are
about 5000 such cars in use, or be-
tween one-seventh and one-sixth OF
the total number of passenger train
cars in service.

SIGNS OF BUSINESS DEPRESSION.

Within the week there were pub
lished several news items all tending
to create the Impression that there is
danger OF serious business depressions
ahead On Monday, the New York
stock exchange reported the smallest
volume of dealings of any day in its
history, the total of shares dealt in be-
ing only $500 and 818 bonds. This
was taken to indicate distrust on the
part of the trading public. President
Johnson of the big Baldwin locomo-
tive works at Philadelphia gave warn
ing OF an approaching reduction In
force. due to the failure of the rail-
roads to continue improvements, and
used this as an argument why the
freight rates should be raised 5 per
cent, as desired. President Schwab
of the Bethlehem Steel company. in q
speech at the Carnegie Institute at
Pittsburgh, Tuesday, before gather
ing to celebrate the 18th birthday of
Andrew Carnegie, made the declara-
ton that the country faces the worst
depression 1t has ever known, con-
dition which he unhesitatingly at
tributed to the operations OF the new
tariff law.

among other things that "the best
pedagoguss know that class work is
far from an ideal method OF ,nstruc-

branches as arithmetic, geography and
spelling. How can 1t be made to pass

WANTS TO DIE AND BE BURIED
WITH MAN HE KILLED
twenty-five years ago Peter
Rusetos and Jimmy Floros were
ITl6QQS III GT66CS.
Then Rusetos came to Chicago and
started in the ice cream parlor bust
ness. He was prosperous. When the
business was big enough for two he
sent for Floros.
Together they made the plant of
Peter Rusetos & Co. one of the larg-
est ice cream factories in the West.
They opened a place at 713 Milwau-
kee avenue and planned further ex-
pansiOn.
Last night there was a directors
meeting at the Milwaukee avenue Of
fee. With Charles A. Drapanes and
George Bright, two other directors,
they planned for the future. Jimmy
and Peter got into a bitter quarrel.
The other two partners went home.

tenants, not ne1ghborS, since
one has no neighbors in an
apartment house.
There is another side of life
in the detached or suburban
house which is not commonly
thought Of, but is quite as i'm
portant as those which have
been mentioned. That is the
character of surroundings and
associates and their effect upon
growing children. You may
have an apartment in a neigh
borhood where you do not know
and do not wish to know any of
the people about you; you can,
and do 60 long distances to see
your friends; but your children
must meet and play with others
that live in the same block.
Home Assets and Dividends
In the suburbs most of the
people in the same neighbor-
hood are of the same sort and
standard of character, and in
the suburban school which your
children will attend, the pupils
will be the children of people in
your own walk of life, the sort
of children with whom your
own should grow up, associate
and mate. The buildings are
not overcrowded, because the
population is not dense enough
to cause overcrowding.
In the last analysis the Home
owner is what God intended
him to be, a normal, healthy
man, raising his children in a
normal, healthy way: doing it
in Home that allows for the
fullest expression of his indi-
viduality and that of his family
subject to an environment of
his own making that brings out
the best that's in him.
If you have MT thought of this
point before, call on a fellow
Aat-dweller and feel the lirnpid,
aenemic, howdy-do handshake
and the lack of enthusiasm.
Then call upon some friend liv-
ing at the edge of a city or deep
in the suburbs, and when you
ring his bell you II get a hearty
greeting and a heartier hand
shake from a man with the light
of the Joy of Living in his eye.

able; no one wishes to spend
money on improving the prop
erty of another; nor to become
too sentimentally attached to a
home which can only be re-
garded as temporary.
The detached house, standing
in it's own grounds, is the only
sort of place where one can
really find the simplest and yet
essential necessities of life -
Air and Sunshine. To deliber-
ately exile ones self from these
things by occupying bed room
on light court eight in name
only) is certainly foolish; to
bring ones children up under
such conditions is hardly short
of criminal. The saving grace
of the hurried and fretful life
that most Americans live, lies
in the fact that they may, per-
haps, disregard their own health
and comfort, but very earnestly
seek them for their children.
Consciously or otherwise, in
the United States it is the COM
ing generation for whom best
provision is made, and nowhere
can we better serve the coming
generation than in helping them
to sound, healthy bodies and
sound, healthy minds.
Little Gardens of Eden
The detached house presup-
poses a certain amount of sur
rounding grounds that can be a
source of infinite pleasure to the
home owner, and of inexhaust-
ible utility to his children.
Where the dining room of the
apartment house usually opens
upon magnificent vista of oc-
cupied clothes lines, the dining
room of the detached home may
look out upon garden space as
beautiful as the owner cares to
make it. You come to your own
front door through air impreg-
mated with the good sound smell
of Mother Earth, and not with
your nostrils filed with the
fumes of your neighbor's cook
ing; and from the windows of
your living room you see hedges
and green lawns instead of
dusty and noisome streets.
