cent for 1t. incidentally the official bu-
reau on the third floor of the municipal

aldermen had accepted a fee. However
he expects to keep his eye on the Duane

DAYS AFTER DEATH

0~o>U - y

NEW YORK, June 9.-One OF the
stranSest notes ever brought to the at
tention of a New York court--a note
calling for payment ten days after the

action filed yesterday by Hayozour

GEORGE CLINTON BATCHELI,ER
Lawyers were in disagreement yes.
tcrday as to the validity OF the note
None ever had heard of a note made
payable after the death of the giver
The law REQUIRES that a note shall
have definite time. One attorney sug.
gested that the provision OF ten DAYS
after death made the note sufficiently
dehnite in respect to time.
NO mention was made in the suit
brought by Topakyan to the manner
Ter, but 1t was learned after the papers
We're filed that he professed to have
pulled Batcheller from in front OF an
automobile about year ago.
Topakyan once presented to the Whit
House In the Roosevelt Administrator
a rug OF value he estimated at S5O,UJO

WINTER PRODUCERS OF EGGS
Question of Keeping Old Hens During Cold Weather Season Should Be
 Decided by Conditions.

The hen more than a year old is not a winter producer of eggs. Why this is so it is doubtful if anyone can tell. The bullet produces the winter eggs, but as she gets older, her sea son of egg production is later. The question then is whether it is profit able to winter the hen two years or more old. The answer is yes, if one has good market for eggs in the spring and summer, even though you buy the food, and decidedly yes, if one grows the food for the fowls. If the market in the spring and summer is not good. then it will not pay to win ter the old hens. so that, after all. it is not question of management. but one of being governed by conditions. In feeding the old hens during the winter, economy must be practiced, and the best way of doing this is to have all these hens by themselves and feed them light ration.

AUTOS RAPID RISE
Development of Fifteen Years Has Been Nothing Short of
 Marvellous.
CONTRAST NOTED AT SHOW
First "Horseiess Carriages" Look Ridiculous Beside the Magnificent Machines of the Present Day Some Figures Concern
 ing the industry.

In a corner of the fifteenth Nation al Automobile show It the Grand Cen tral palace at New York there was a collection of queer. dingy contraptions which were called "horseless car riages" about fifteen years ago. They are the ancestors of the present gor- geous automobile.
 Old fashioned. shabby and time worn, these early automobiles formed an amazing contrast to the hundreds of glittering cars on exhibition. which represented the latest marvels of auto mobile construction. The contrast was also typical of the American automo- bile industry, which in less than a score of years has scared from hum ble beginning and experienced a re- markable growth.
 In 1900, when the first automobile show was held at the Madison Square garden. about thirty small cars were exhibited, and these were mixed with bicycles. There were scarcely fifty American manufacturers then and their capitalization was small
 The cars in use at that time could be counted by hundreds and they ex- cited the wonder and amazement of all who came within hearing, seeing or smelling distance. Devil wag- ons," as they were popularly termed, they chugged and snorted through our streets, baking, wheezing and occa. sionally blowing up. Sometimes when luck favored them they ran for sev- eral miles without stopping, and for that reason they were bought and used by a few adventurous men.
 Fifteen years have not only brought about some wonderful changes in au- tomobile construction, but in the auto mobile industry itself. Today there are nearly two million automobiles in use fin the United States. while 450 American manufacturers are turning out half million cars a year. the value of last years output having been s490.0O0, 600. Nearly a billion dollars of invested capital is repre-. sented by these manufacturers, who control the largest plants in the world. With their enormous resources, de. rived from the home market, they have been enabled to beat their Eu- ropean rivals in every quarter, and they are now conducting a worldwide campaign for supremacy. The sue. cess of this campaign is shown by the exports of American cars, which amounted last year to more than s26,. 00o,000.

TO SECURE EGGS IN WINTER
Hens Have No Particular Laying Sea. son-Do We'll In Cold Weather
 if Given Attention.

If followed carefully, the hints given below will insure satisfactory supply of eggs during the winter:
 Never exposing the fowls to blus- tery, snowy weather, remembering that a cold, uncomfortable hen can not be expected to be profitable one. Therefore the houses must be of gen. erous size.
 Early matched bullets.
 Strong, healthy yearling hens.
 Roomy, comfortable. well-ventilated houses.
 Regular feeding of food rich in nj trogenous qualities.
 Scratching sheds and the fowls made to hunt for the grain among the litter.
 Each year breeding from the strong est and best layers and never inbreed- ing.
 Using trap nests by which the drones can be detected, so as to give the room and feed to the workers.
 Never overfeeding, but given just

Wyoming.

Frank Stoner, J. '. Sargent and Thomas Norfolk Of Cokeville, who leased an Unpromising prospect at Marysyale, Utah, expect to become wealthy as the result of a remarkable strike which they have made in the property. They have broken into an ore body returning 446 ounces of sil- yer and 665SO ounces of gold to the ten, the ton value of the silver being s21s.5s and that of the gold S13,336, total Of sl3.55i.59 per ton.
 What is believed to be the richest body of ore ever found in Wyoming was struck by the second shift work. ing in the old Comstock mine, in the Silver Crown district, twenty-five miles west of Cheyenne. The Com stock mine was located nearly forty years ago by William Ferguson, a ranchman in the Hecla district, five miles from the scene of the present strike. Ferguson had great faith in this property and, although discour- aged by others, he and his boys worked the property every winter and spent a large sum of money in the aggregate on the mine.
Tombstone epitaph., 1915-02-14

as much as they will readily eat up clean and not waste or allow to sour.
 Never exciting hens. but rather keeping them tame so that they will have confidence in the feeder and not become scary.
 Keeping the houses perfectly clean and cheery, so that good health may be maintained, and that lice may be discouraged in making their head quarters about the premises.
 Never overcrowding the focks, as small families will do more work. It is better to keep l5 hens in house built for 25 than % in a house only big enough for 15.
 If these warnings are carefully heed ed there will be no difficulty to secure winter eggs. Hens have TO particular laying season; they usually lay best in warm weather because conditions are better-it is up to the poultry man to supply these.
