land, kale, root crops ard even
some grain and straw, enough to
help out a good deal on the feed
question: that it takes quite q
good many hens to eat as much
as is necessary to fatten one hog,
or keep one COW in full flow of
milk; that you very soon begin
TO get some returns, it looks like
EGGS were good stuff.
The Island is especially favor
able to this business. The soil
is good for the purpose, being OF
such nature that it is easy to
keep yards well drained, never
muddy The extra sunshine we
claim over other parts of Puget
Sound is to our advantage. And
the market is unlimited, access
ible at low cost for transporta-
ton, and growing greater every
minute.
There is, then, no reason why
Vashon Island should not become
the Petaluma of the Northwest.
Nature has contributed all the
necessaries she can. It's up to
the people. And it looks to us
like circumstances have forced IA
necessity upon us.
Most land owners have small
holdings, not enough to do any
general, and very little special,
farming; but ample for a chick
en- ranch. So let's to eggs.
There are now a good many
people already in this as a bust
ness in a small way: several in
a fairly large way. And modern
methods are being applied in
many plants. Some of the build
ings and equipment are real hen
parlors, with all modern con
veniences, such as running water,
sun rooms. electric lights, meals
at all hours, uniformed attend
ants, to say nothing Of hospitals,
maternity houses, etc, etc.
The electric light plays havoc
with the eight-hour system for
these hens. Lights on at from )
to 6o'clock to daylight; then from
early dusk to seven or nine
O'Clock at night. 1t pays the
owner. So they say. Makes hens
lay more than enough extra eggs
to pay for the light. Try it.
We note in recent issue of
The Record an estimate that
there are now $4,000 hens on the
Island. That's too high. But
there ought to be that many now.
So let's figure a little on that
basis. Fifty thousand hens ought
to lay on an average of 100 eggs
each per year. That's very low.
But it means 100000 eggs per
year. Over 100000 dozen. Oyer
1900 cases. At an average of
thirty cents per dozen through
out the year, which is low, it's
1920, 900. More than 1925 per
day, Sundays and holidays in
Guided.
! Now, Vashon Island could just
as well raise 100000 hens as
$4,000 afterawhile. That would
produce on above basis, 81, 400,
600 per year! $500 per day .
Fantastic? Well, ! don't know.
Tell us why.
Now, let some of our people
who have gotten into the business
in good earnest, and are willing
1
to admit they are making a sue

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, Ifeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's oJ!0r and lus-re. or when it fades. turns gray, duli and lifcless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the iair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and s'hphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this time recipe.
 Nowadays We get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for d 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.' which dark ems the hair so naturally. so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has Leen applied. Besides. it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall- ing hair. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of abundance.-Advertis ment

GREATEST 0F ALL
 RENTALS AT END

The greatest cVangelistic revival service ever held in Tempe came to close on Sunday with an inspiring sermon by Evangelist Thurston B. Price During the course of the three weeks of services 150 conversions were made and 12J were reconSecrated. Hundreds of others have attended the meetings regularly. barely night has passed but what the Methodist church has been crowded to beyond capacity, and it is manifest on almost every hand that a generally good influence on the spiritual life of people in Tempe has resulted.
 The cvanGclstic meetings this time, unlike the majority of previous like engagements here, were remarkable for their saneness. Conducted in uni son by all of the Protestant churches of the town and participated in alike by the various congregations, every thing was harmonious and results far beyond expectations were reached.

 CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Big stocks of wheat and the seeming dubious chanc- es of an adequate foreign outlet ex- erted bcarish influence today on ValIes here.

Corn finished A down. oats off |, to 2sMl$ and provisions vary ing from 5G7ls loss to ! rise of F m5 cents
 Absence of fresh export business until late in the session counted 9 good deal toward bringing about a lower average of wheat prices for the day.
 Heavy arrivals led to sharp break 1 in the corn market. but a good sea- ; board demand at Peoria brought about something of q reaction. Oats declined l in sympathy with corn.
