MRS. JAMES BAILEY

Mrs. James Bailey died suddenly,
Sunday evening, October 18, at her late
residence in Ponds Neck, Cecil County,
Md, age 72 years.
Dearest mother thou hast left US,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
Thou art goae but not forgotten,
Or ever will be for so long;
As memory lasts we will remember thee,
Oh! Dear mother how we miss thee,
Friends may think the wound has healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
That lies within our hearts concealed.

Pay For Code Commissioners

Twenty-Five thousand dollars is the
sum proposed to be paid to H. H Ward
and T. Bayard Heisel, the revise-code
commissioners, for their labors. Of
this nearly $4,000 is for Mr.. Ward
and $40, 900 for Mr.. Heisel. The latter
was a commissioner but a year, while
Ward served since its creation. The
claim commission has the matter in
charge. When the code was revised,
IN 1893, it cost the state $1,000. When
it was revised in 1852 by three of the
stste's ablest judges the cost was ,$45OO
and the 1873 revision cost $4,000. The
plan now to pay out $25, 900 has sent a
thrill of indignation throughout the
state and created a demand that the
scheme to pay out this vast sum for SO
little labor shall be halted.

WESTERN GOVERNORS ARE
FOR SANE CONSERVATION
Governors Spry, Ammons and Oddie
Will Present Resolutions and OPP
pose the Ferris Bill.

Denver.-A belief in conservation
lin sane conservation"-and a declar-
alton favoring state control by the
enactment of laws that will make
for true conservation" featured the
resolutions adopted Saturday by the
western governors at their closing
session here. They voiced the belief
that as rapidly as the states prepare
themselves to carry out sue a policy
the federal government should with
draw its supervision and turn over
the work to the states.
The governors appointed a connie
tee consisting Of William Spry. Utah;
E. NJ. Ammons, Colorado, and Tasker
L. eddie, Nevada, to go to Washing
ton and present the resolutions in
person to President Wilson. The same
committee will appear before the
house public lands committee to pro
test against the Ferris leasing bill.
Governor Ammons on Saturday re-
ceived a telegram from Representa-
tive Edward Taylor of Colorado stat
ing that the committee had consented
to postpone consideration of the bill
for ten days to permit the governors
to present their protest.

which the entire poultry business
rests, says a writer in an exchange.
Combining these two essential quail
ties almost perfectly, the Plymouth
Rock has no successful rival as a util-
ity fowl. AS a meat producer it has
lots of size without coarseness, is
very hardy and a rapid grower; while
the meat is more like that of a turkey
than like the ordinary run Of chickens.
AS an egg producer its only rival is
the Leghorn. This statement is album
dainty proven by the competitive con-
tests of recent years, while as winter
layers they have no equal and are in
a class by themselves. So when the
all-year-round market value is consid-
cred it has never been proved that
they have a superior.

BRYAN DISCUSSES
TOLLS QUESTION
SECRETARY OF STATE ARGUES
FOR REPEAL OF TOLLS ExEMP-
TON IN PANAMA CANAL ACT.
Declares That Opponents to Repeal
Had Attempted to Appeal to Pref
udice Rather Than to Reason
in Their Arguments.

Misunderstanding Bryan. in
a statement made public Sunday, re
views at length the Panama tolls
question, and in the course of the
statement declares hat the repeal OF
the tolls exemption in the Panama
canal act cannot be construed to be
a construction of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty" but is simply a refusal on
the part of the United States to raise
hat question in that way"
Mr.. Bryan discussed various fea
lures of the subject-the limiting OF
debate in the house of representa-
tives, the Baltimore platform and the
effect of repeal on the treaty.
Claiming that the opponents Of the
repeal had seized upon the charge
that the president was "surrenderine
to England Mr.. Bryan declared thai
the opposition to the repeal had at
tempted to appeal ito prejudice
rather than to reason"

words, they construed the treaty t

BUYING AND SHIPPING EGGS
Care Should Be Taken That Eggs of
Different Breeds Do Not Become
Mixed in Gathering.

AS the season for eggs for Matching
is about at hand, a few words from
actual experience might be of inter
est.
In buying eggs don't expect every
egg to hatch.
Don't blame the eggs for the poor
hatch you get from them in your first
incubator trial.
Don't expect your poultryman to du-
plicate your order merely because you
report a poor hatch
Don't expect eggs shipped a distance
to hatch as well as those from the
hens on your w place.
Don't expect a prize stock from
cheap eggs.
Don't be unreasonable in your de-
mands.
On the part of the poultryman there
Is this TO say: In keeping several va
~rieties, use every care that the eggs
of the different breeds do not become
mixed.
Fill orders promptly.
Aim to please your customer.
Be honest in all your dealings.
Gather your eggs several times a
day during cold weather to prevent
freezing.
Keep them in a warm place that
they may not chill.
Never ship an egg owe a week
old.
Agree to duplicate poor matches at
half price.
Never ship eggs in boxes, as they
are roughly handled by the express
companies.
Always take a receipt from the ex.
press company.
Send a letter by mail the day you
ship-better send it at least several
hours ahead of the shipment-so thai
your customer will be on hand to re
ceive the eggs when they arrive.
In conclusion. the receiver of eggs
should at once unpack the basket ant
take out all the eggs. Then he should
replace them. laying them on theil
sides, not to touch each other, and al
low to rest for several hours. Many
hatch is spoiled by the failure tt
properly rest the eggs before sub
hitting them to a high Temperature
of heat.

Blacks Lose in Favor.

About 80 years ago the first Black
Leghorns were brought into the

still bred in the south. In fact, they
are a great favorite among southern
farmers. During the past few years,
however, the Blacks have made way
for the Bluffs and Whites, which are
more popular. They lay very large
eggs, and are great producers.
The Buff Leghorns were imported
