MOVABLE HOUSE TO
MAKE CHICKENS LAY

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. Jan. 5.-F.
NJ. Stahl has what is supposed to be a
new way of making hens lay.
after the wheat is cut and thresh-
ed" says Stahl. there is always
more or less grain on the ground
which is an absolute waste. In order
to prevent this built a portable hen
house, put the chickens in it. hitched
a team to it and we went to the stub
BILE fields, where left 1t standing.
The hens took to the new location like
duck 10 water, and before very long
noticed a substantial increase in egg
production.
''In about a week | moved the hen
house about 10 rods further on. and
thereby supplied new range for the
hens. | kept this up until had COW
cred the entire field. During that pc
riod | sold 5000 worth Of eggs and
fattened 200 fries-all on the wheat

DOUBLE TRANSFERS
REFUSED BY DUR.
Present Privilege Is Grossly
Abused, COmpany's Attorney
Claims

Abuses OF present transfer privi-
leges by street car patrons were cited
by ID. U. K officials before the coun-
Gil committee on public utilities, Mon
day, as reasons why the request for
double transfers on the Junction-ave.
orosstown line must be refused Aid.
Alexander Dill, who made personally
conducted sortie against the ID. U. K.
executive forces before soliciting the
aid of the council committee. made an
eloquent appeal for square deal"
on the double transfer proposition, but
his argument was waved away.
Attorney Bernard +. Weadock, of the
d. u. r. legal force, narrated the story
OF transfer abuses. He told how peo-
pie conniyed To defraud the ID. u. r.
out OF a seyeD-for-a-quarter ticket, re-
lating that one man handed his trans
fer to another man at a certain cor
ner every morning, the latter paying
the former 25 cents every two weeks
for the transfers. At other transfer
fers were pinned on the backs of
fence posts where intending passeng
ers could find and make use of them,
saving the price of ticket. The at
torney ever intimated that transfer
clearing houses" existed in some of
the downtown Office buildings. The
idea Is that many passengers paying
fare demand transfer which they new
er irtend to use, according TO Attor-
ney Weadock. These transfers are
given to inte nding passengers and the
d. u. r. is thereby defrauded out OF
hundreds OF fares per day.
For these reasons" said Attorney
Weadock, I'VE are seeking to cut down
the transfer privileges, rather than
extend it."
The company refused even to give
a transfer on a transfer from the Dix
line to the Springwells plug.
AID. Dill says he will continue the
fight, as the people in his ward are de-
manding the double transfer privilege.
