QUEENS OF PARIS HERE ID
 REIGN AT PARK THEATRE

The Queens of Paris arrived at the Park theatre yesterday for the re- mainder of the week. Bringing their baggage with the company are Harry Koh1er and Harry K. Horton, two fun makers whose names are well known throughout the country, and from whose mouths last night flowed the wisdom of George Totten Smith. With Nanny Ko1er, the triumverate known as We Us & Company worked hard to stir their audiences and much of the material presented was not only new but distinctly funny.
 Among other well known members of the burlesque roster was Billy Ar rington, formerly with Sam Howe's company. Harry Evans. Fannie Ved- der, Kathleen Miller, Alice Poole, Rose Rading and WiIIimine Bowen.
 A speciality dance by Callahan and Miller should be given particular mo- tice for it's refinement, eccentricity and novelty Several songs were well rendered by Misses Bowen, Vedder, Reading and Miller.
 A chorus girls contest ended the performance and cast glory upon the participants many of whom showed excellent material for understudies and future principals.

they would be walking on velvet In
stead of beating the hard pavements
looking for a job.
If nature intended you to do this
work, do it. A successful foundation
with poultry is first made by going
into details In regard to the little
things that in the beginning seem to
be SO Insignificant
Women have greater aptitude than
men. The present-day farmer Is the
man of the hour imam or woman,
who has already made a success In
cattle and hog raising. You will not
find a practical farmer who has al
ready made a success, fail If he or she
undertakes poultry. Why? Because
they go about 1t on businesslike prin-
ciples with no thought Of failure.
There is nothing about poultry
farming but what can be learned by
any bright woman and there Is no
part of the work woman cannot do
If she is so minded. / see women In
poor health reaping a good harvest
both physically and financially in the
poultry business, and l wonder why
more women do not indulge in this
health-giving business. Often women
are left companionless on the farm.
Why not try poultry raising instead of
moving to the city to find something
to do to exc out a mere existence?
They write me, What branch of the
/ poultry business shall | take up?" You
will have TO decide for yourself; as
so much depends upon the location
the demand, the market, etc.
Business methods will pay. Profit
or loss can be known only by goot
bookkeeping. We cannot overesti
mate the importance of keeping rec
ords Of our hens. Upon these record!
depends the success or failure of ou
business. Under present conditions
with the increased cost Of everything
which enters into the production OF |
dozen eggs comes the necessity TO
the application of stricter methods o
economy and a closer attention u
every detail.
We must get out Of the old ruts ant
open an account with the hens, givini
them credit for what they produc
and charging them with what the,
consume.
But some one says, THAT Is to-
much work! We cannot afford {

counts!" l dare say some Of 20
