Business Hen Of Hays

One of the Progressive, Wide.aWake
Business Hen of Hays
Started in business in modest way. in
1898, IN the Oshant building on North
Main Street, now occupied by
J. q. HogR as a restaurant. Seven
years afterward, in 1905, his business
had grown to such dimension that he
was obliged to secure more room, ac-
cordinRIy he rented the John Schlyer
building on Chestnut Street, which
was larger and much more commodi-
GUS for his increasing business. In a
few years, through Mr.. Wiesner's ex-
celIent business ability, together with
square dealing with his patrons it be-
came evident that his business had
again outgrown its quarters and some
thing had to be done. Lots were pur
chased on the corner OF Chestnut and
Juniata and in a short time new
brick building was commenced, and in
October 1913 he moved into his present
splenid quarters, which is 75x1O0 feet
with basement the size Of the building.
His stock consists of a clean, Well Sc
lected stock of general merchandise.
The firm name is now A. A WIeg-
uer & Son, Mr.. Wiesner having re-
Gently taken his eldest son, Joe, a
clean, honest young business man into
partnership.
The firm has recently installed an
electric lighting and refrigerstiug plant
consisting of q nine b. p. Fairbanks
engine which furnishes power for a
81 kiIoWatt dynamo of ITO volts. that
produces the ''juice" for thirty lights
and several fans and also power for
a cendecer for keeping large refrlge-
rator at the right temperature to pre-
serve PerishabIe goods, such as fruits,
vegetables, etc. The ice man has no

AtavIsm In DOGS,

Dogs. probably the earliest Of do
mesticated animals, when transferred
to a tropical country, such as central
Africa, lose in few generations most
Of the characteristics they have &C
CURED in Europe, and revert more and
more to the type Of the iackal and the
wolf Then their ears, whatever their
breed, tend to become pointed, their
coats turn sandy CT rufous and their
bark becomes a howl. Some attempt
has been made to show that this is the
result Of disease and resembles the
effect Of malaria on the human cOnsti-

Kept at the Office.

Mrs. Brown always looks very dubi-
Gus when her hu-band comes home a
little later than usual and says he has
been kept at the office" She never
looks as If she believed the excuse,
which, as a matter of fact, is quite
genuine. But some wives seem In
capable Of realizing that their hus-
bands really are kept late at the office
sometimes, and nowadays competition
is 50 keen that a man can't afford to
go OF at the tick Of the clock If he
wishes to keep his position. The SEN
sible wife doesn't make a fuss when
he is kept late" She Just notices
that he looks more tired than usual,
and lets him have his dinner and a
smoke after in peace and quiet And
you usually find that the husband who
receives this sort Of treatment is
never late home If he can possibly
help it.

Vikings Made Reeswax.

About eight years ago at Oseberg,
near TOnsberg, Norway, there was IN
earthed ship of the early Viking
period. It was completely buried IN
the earth, and when disinterred was
found to belong to the grave OF Vi
king queen, who died about A D. 500.
Horses, carriages, and sledges were
also discovered in the grave, together
with all kinds Of household furniture
and utensils and personal ornaments,
the whole forming a picture Of the
stats OF northern civilization centu-
Fies ago. Among the other articles
found we're two dark rectangular
masses, which proved to be wax that
had apparently been used for the wax

recently been chemically examined by

A Rreaehsra Partisan PRAYER.

It is difficult for the fervent partisan
to avoid politics, even in the pulpit
There are those, too, who never try.
Among them was Father Taylor, the
Boston sailor-preacher. He was once
conducting Sunday morning service
a few days before the state elections,
and he took the opportunity Of offer-
ing up a fervent prayer that a man
might be chosen for governor who
would rule In the fear OF God, who
would never be afraid OF the face of
day, who would defeat the ringlead-
eFs Of corruption, who would defy his
own party if it yielded to wire pullers,
who Suddenly Father Taylor
paused, Then he brought his prayer
to an abrupt conclusion. 80, Lord, -
he exclaimed, what's the use of box
ing the compass in this way? Give US
George n. Briggs for governor.

Fire Extinnuisher.

It was quite by accident that the
discovery was made that ammonia
would extinguish burning oil. = bot
tie Of ammonia saved a family great
loss by fire. The gasoline stove
sprung leak and the fluid caught fire,
spreading rapidly. One Of the older
children coming into the room could
not reach the sink and get water to
throw over the blaze as ne thought
ought to be done, but had enough
presence Of mind to pour over II the
contents Of an ammonia bottle that
stood near. As it happened, it was
the very best thing he could have
done, as It quickly extinguished the
IRE which water could not do. Now
the family keeps ammonia on hand in
q two-Quart sealed Jar, anticipating the
time when It may be needed again
for the same purpose.

the other evening with his best girl.
The conversation drifted to fortune
telling; he asked her if she believed in
palimistry. She looked up demurely
and naively said: ''WelI, l don't
know. but I think could foretell more
pleasure if I saw the lines in one Of
your hands" The young man who
was slow to comprehend her meaning,
sat with bowed head and wrinkled
brow until at least two miles had been

on him, and an expansive smile illum-
aled his countenance. He took the
reins in one hand and grasped the stu

STAGE Bells.

"Parsifa1'' is interesting, quite apart
from its artistic merit, as having had
a musical instrument invented for it,
and named after it. The reproduc-
ton of the sound Of church bells in
opera was long a difficulty. Real
bells simply drowned the orchestra,
and all substitutes were tried in vain
until Doctor Mott designed the Parsifa
bell instrument, somewhat on the prin-
cipIe of the grand piano. Each Of
its five notes has six strings, which
are struck by large hammers covered
with cotton wool. And the result is
as near to the solemn sound OF
church bells as the theater has been
able to get

FACING the Music.

Originally the expression Facing
the music" was British army slang.
and applied to men who were, for
misconduct, drummed out Of the ranks
to the tune of the "Rogue's March,"
As in general use, however, it may
have come from the theateT, and re-
fer to the fact that the actor and
singer upon the stage has the or
chestra facing him. In this case it
would have in mind the trepidation
with which the performer faced his
audience while the orchestra played
the prelude to his song or speech. It's
meaning is, therefore, meeting an
emergency"

Ian Reds. I have also developed
strain of Silver Wyandottes that has
produced an average of 210 eggs hen
in year. It must not be thought that
a strain of such record making hens
can be developed in year or two.
Many years Of patience, breeding and
selection are necessary. The system
1 have is original, and has worked
wonders in developing egg production.
1t must not be thought either that all
Of my hens produced 240 eggs a year
each. l do not breed from any hens
that lay less than 1S0 eggs and yet
this figure is nearly three times the
average egg production of the Ameri-
can hen as recorded in the last census
Stop a moment and think what 1t
would mean if every man in the Uni
led States would increase egg pro-
luction two dozen eggs year.
1t is always cheapest in the end to
buy the very best stock, even though
the first cost is little high to start
The most important point in any line
Of business is to start right. The be-
ginner should get a setting or two
or few pullets and a cockerel OF the
best strain. The cost will not be very
great, and he will have the work and
experience of the former breeder to
build on. have nothing to say
against fancy birds. They are all
right in their place. The fancy breed
ers are doing good work, and If one
is starting to breed fancy strains for
the show room, he should start with
the very best that he can get, but u
he wants eggs and utility fowls. he
should go to the man who has de-
veloped a great strain of layers. 1
have gathered from $50 hens in Dec
ember 187 dozen eggs. The average
price was IS cents per dozen, SS5.15,
allowing $1S. for feed. leaving s66.15.
This is very good yield for Decem-
Der. Seventy-flve Of them are April
Matched pullets and rs yearling hens.
If you want winter eggs keep the
Reds. Mr.. William Loydd of Massa-
chusetts reports that he got 240 eggs
from one pullet hatched from eggs got
ten of me and at the market price the
eggs were worth $7.3S. They are early
to mature ENC heavy winter layers and
one of their strongest arguments tc
me is that l know Of no breeder who
has ever dropped Reds for other
breeds.
OF course, one may have preference
as to breed Men are not all consti.
tuted alike. Some men may like
barred Plymouth Rocks, others White
Wyandottes, another Rhode Island
Reds, and SO on. The beginner should
start with the best strain Of the breed
he likes the best. Whatever his OBJ
ject may be he should take advantage
Of the former breeders experience to
the fullest extent and improve upon
that basis.

CORN CLUB PRIZES
OFFERED FOR 1914
South Carolina Plans to Win Back
Southern Record Lost
in 1918.

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) .)-Enthusfas-
tic plans are already under way in
Georgia, South Carolina and other
Southern states for the 1914 corn club
contests. These contests have in
creased the South's corn production
by millions of dollars during the past
few years.
H. G. Hastings, chairman Of the ag-
ricultural committee of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, has renewed
for 1914 his annual offer of corn club
prizes in South Carolina and nine
other Southern states. Mr. Hastings
offers $1,000 in prizes. OF this amount
S100 goes to South Carolina In three
prizes of $50, $50 and $40 each. These
prizes are awarded under the direction
of the United States government Of
ficials in charge of the farm demon
stration work.
Word comes that the South Caro-
lima boys are going to make a power
full effort this year to regain the South
ern record, which they held in 1872
but which was taken away from them
in 1913 by Alabama. The South Car
olina record of 22S bushels, held by
Jerry Moore, was beaten by 232 BUSH
els, raised by Walker Lee Dunson Of
Alabama.
An interesting echo from last years
contest comes from Arkansas, where
the $50 prize, offered by Mr.. Hastings,
was won by a 14-year-old girl, Miss
Delphine Moore, who competed against
2,4OO boys, because there was no girls
club in the state.
The corn club work has made won
derful advances throughout the South.
The fathers of the corn club boys, who
first looked on the movement as
fad, have at last come to realize Its
great practical value and are now just
as much interested as their sons.
