The Exposure of the Hen.

New York Sun: Having attained
perfection of methods and result
in training of the infantile mind that
has compelled the unstinted admira-
tion of the taXpaying body, the pub
lie schools naturally seek fresh fields
for the expenditure of their energy.
Domestic science, the art of basket
making, organized play-these and a
thousand other ambitious projects
have engaged their attention, to the
wonderful applause Of the public. Yet
it has been felt that they were only
promise of better things to come.
and this belief is happily confirmed
by news of most encouraging import
from Missouri.
In Oak Grove Of that inquisitive
state Professor Blyholder of the High
School has undertaken the exposure
Of the hen, instituting a competition
between a Barred Plymouth Rock,
wastefully presiding over fifteen
eggs, and an incubator, breed not dis
closed, of 150-egg capacity, economi-
cally performing its function with the
aid of the barred Standard Oil Com
pany, each struggling valiantly in the
production of broilers. The hen is
cesses; the incubator represents pro-
cesses; the Incubator represents pro-
gress and modernity; the schools de-
sign great lesson in economics.
That the hen will lose in this eff
ficiency test we have no doubt. The
hen is an essentially old fashioned
creature and deserves the exposure
it is bound to suffer. This is graft
flying indeed; but more important still
is the added testimony to the success
of the schools which have so we'll full
filled their original purpose that they
can now transform their grounds into
chicken yards and their teachers into
egg Gamblers.

Charming Affair

Mrs. A. H. Griswold gave a pret-
tily appointed four-course luncheon at

F. C. Martin, district chairman of His
tory and Landmarks, California Fed

were little landscapes done in water
colors.

Two Confederate Veterans.

Washington Letter in New York
Sun: "The late Senator William B.
Bate of Tennessee bought many a ci-
gar which he simply chewed to
pieces without lighting, although pas
sionately fond of smoke" said H.
M. Doyle of Memphis at the Shore
ham. "The reason for this grew out
of tragedy on the battlefield of
Shiloh. During the progress of that
bloody fight General Bate, who was
devoid of fear, lit a cigar, but had
scarcely taken puff when ball
from the Yankee side knocked the
weed from his mouth and, passing
on, struck his brother, who was not
three feet away, in the breast, kill
ing him instantly. After that Incl
dent the surviving brother was never
known to light cigar"
Discussing General Bates COL
league in the Senate, the late Isham
G. Harris, Mr.. Doyle said to Post
reporter:
"It is not generally known that
Senator Harris was probably the only
American statesman who received the
title of duke from foreign govern
ment. He got this while a refugee
in Mexico. AS Confederate governor
of Tennessee, Harris, knowing that
the cause he loved was doomed, gath
cred few faithful retainers in Nash
vile and fled to the land of the Monte
zumas. He carried with him on pack
mules something like $5O0,000 in
specie belonging to Tennessee, with
which he landed safely on the far side
of the Rio Grande. The Mexicans
gave him a royal welcome. He was
a fascinating man, who could address
them in their own tongue, and they
begged him to stay the rest Of mis-
life in the City of Mexico. All kinds
of honors were showered on him, in
cluding a dukedom, which he courte-
ously waved aside, although the po-
lite Mexicans always accorded the ti-
tie to him.
"After an exile of about year the
governor thought he might go back
to his own land in safety despite the
fact that the federals had once put
a price on his head, and so he jour-
neyed back to Nashville, taking with
him every dollar of the $5O0,OOO he
had carried away. An official count
of the money revealed the fact that
not a coin was missing"

Home Making
In Record Time

Landed in Ell CentrO Friday MORN
ing at 8 o'clock. Had bite to eat.
At 9 o'clock started to look over the
real estate offices. At 10 o'clock af-
fliated myself with one. Sharp at
II o'clock purchased a lot in Will
shire Place from another. Hurried to
the Blinn Lumber Company and or
dered lumber carted right out to my
lot. Trip to Varney Brothers; pur-
chased 10 cents worth of nails. An
other bite to eat. Went to my build
ing site. Changed my tailored suit
for a pair of overalls, standing in a
field of high grass. (No other secluded
spot near.) Started to work erect
ing my mansion. At 4:45 p. m. l had
completed my dwelling, near bum
galow, in I believe the worlds record
time.
The above is the story of the ap-
pearance of Pat Emery of Los An
geles-globe trotter, author, mining
engineer and real estate dealer, on
his appearance into Ell Centre and
a sample of the hurry and hustle that
follows wherever he gos.
Pat, as he loves to be called, had
been in this city once before, but for
only two hours, and the impressions
gained then were such that he re-
turned again to make his future home.
Pats acquaintance with Ell Centro
could be written into romance. A
charming young lady and Patrick
journey from the wilds of some other
jungle to the large city of Yuma to
get spliced. For some reason or other
the fatal deed was not consummated
in that city-possibly papa was after
them and too close upon their heels
at any rate the two came to Ell Gen.
tro and were made one.
On arriving here Pat left his near
bride standing on the corner and went
in search of justice of the peace.
At that time Justice Mayfeld was also
city recorder and the council was in
session. Pat butted in and stated
his wants and there was an unanimous
vote taken that the wedding take
place right there and then. Pat went
out and after little coaxing brought
the girl into the presence of the au-
gust members Of the city board, the
session being temporarily adjourned
while Pat was married.
This was one year ago and now
Pat is a citizen of Ell Centre and has
written to Mrs. Pat to come right on,
the house is all ready and-oh, yes,
there is a little Patricia coming, too.

Captain Tighe Home.

Brawley News: Captain George F.
Tighe of the United States army, who
also is a we'll known Brawley ranch
er and man of affairs, returned this
morning from Boston, Mass, where
he attended the funeral of his broth
er, the last remaining member of his
family. Captain Tighe has the SYM
pathy of hosts of friends all over the
Imperial Valley in his bereavement.
Owing to the sad fact above stated,
that he is the last survivor of FAM
lily long we'll known and honored in
Massachusetts, the captain is incon-
solable over the loss Of his brother.

but not a bowel mover. 1t works in
the liver cells to assist in the natural

from the blood certain constituents into
what are known as aSsimiable prod

the body tissues to constantly provide
new and healthy material for that which
is being destroyed by the energy OF
tissue changes.
The presence of any blood trouble

BY JAMES B. NEvIN.

Recent agitation, Of very serious
and very earnest kind, in Atlanta has
resulted in some gratifying reforma
lions in the matter of convict pun
ishment in Georgia, not only in Fulton
County, but throughout the entire
State
Whippings are not nearly so nu
merous in the convict camps as they
were a month or two ago-indeed, in
Fulton County they have dropped off
a good so per cent!
In addition to that, the average de-
crease in the number of whippings
elsewhere has dropped 80 1-3 per cent,
while the number of counties report
ing no whippings a all has increased
in the same ratio.
These figures are based on COM
parative records for January and
February, which may be seen by any
person interested, if said person VIII
