Of nnaSihi1ifv to answer

IT is beyond the bounds
of possibility to answer
promptly the mass of Gu
riOsity telephone calls that
threaten to swamp our ex-
changes every time there is a
large fire.
Calls for physicians, the am
bulance or the police, held up
at such times might result in
the loss of human life.
For your protection, as well
as for the protection of your
neighbors, we ask you not to
call the telephone operator
merely out of curiosity. After
all, she has no more informa-
ton thGn you have.

It Actually Happened.

The traditional bet of dollar to .
doughnut was recently made In g
down town cafe. The man who put up
the doughnut won, but when the
stakes were turned over he found that
the odds were not so much in his ia
vor as he had imagined. The dollar
was like the doughnut-had a hole in
it.-LouisYille Courier Journal.

A man who went half way around
the world on q wild-goose chase for Q

from New York to Salt Lake for the

employ somebody with an adequate
sized boot to take care of his own case

logical conclusion.

poultry lots of sunshine, and at the
same time the nesting boxes are placed
so that they are well shaded. The
roof is constructed on the saw-tooth
principle, which insures plenty of sun
shine on the roosts and the back part
of the scratching floor. Dampness is
a dangerous condition to poultry, and
this is effectually prevented by hav-
ing plenty of sunshine in the back
part of the house.
The foundation of this building
should be of concrete, as that is the
best kind of insurance against rats,
who often have the idea that a chick
Ell house will make an ideal home for
them. The connections of the sills
to the foundation should be carefully
made, so as to eliminate all drafts.
Chickens stand the cold of winter very
well, but a slight draft in their houses
will often prove fatal. The walls Of
the building must be also constructed
80 that no stray breezes can blow in
on the egg producers. The studding
is covered carefully on the outside
with building paper, and over this is
placed drop siding On the inside the
walls can be handled in various ways.
