MARRYING A DOLL.

OF the idle and brainless the world has
Who eat what they never have earned:
Who hate the pure stream from the foun-
tain OF truth,
And wisdom and knowledge have
spurned.
If all men should love wisely, the
major part of the worlds woes would
be eliminated. 1t is usually the grave,
very sensible man who loses his heart
to the fluffy, kitten kind of girl, weds
her and expects to make q companion
able, judicious wife of her.
1t does not take him long to learn
after wedlock that it is impossible to
make a handwriting bee out of but
terfly. He should not complain If he
has to pay his hard-earned dollars for
every hands turn that is done for her.
He should have realized that IL
girls ambition is Just to look bewitch-
ingly pretty it will take half a life
time to make her realize that darning
hubby's socks is of far more import
ance than spending hours doctoring up
her face to look fascinating In his
eyes. If the cook leaves in a huff, the
doll wife is as helpless as a babe. She
could not tell to save her life whether
an egg should be baked, broiled,
stewed or boiled, or whether it takes
five minutes or an hour.
The doll wife loves herself more
than she could love the best husband
on earth. She never will become do
mesticated while there is a shred of
her youth, beauty and power to fasci-
nate left. Even having children does
not bring about a needed reform. She
will dress her little girls like dolls and
rig out her boys in long curls and
fluffy frocks until they rebel and their
strenuous fight for pants is too much
for her.
Her children-like her husband-are
imbued with the belief that there is
nothing mother can do. The doll of
sweet sixteen or even twenty is a
sight lovely to behold, but the woman
who insists upon getting herself up
like a doll when she is nearly forty
though ever so fairs cross to even
the most patient of husbands.
There is no use whatever in at
tempting to give advice to the man
who Is In love. He is firm in the be-
lief that you are prejudiced against
his sweetheart, and resents 1t. After
he marries the beauty whose sole aim
is to outshine other girls he realizes
that much beauty and little brains are
poor combination in wife.
A wife should be useful as well as
ornamental. It's mans own fault IL
the doll he weds refuses to learn to
do household tasks after marriage. He
should have expected that.
If man puts the question fairly to
girl: "Can you manage home from
the parlor to the kitchen?" ere he pro-
poses, under ban of leaving her If she
answers "No," more girls would learn
to be housekeepers without delay.

When Eggs Are Highest.

How to get eggs In late fall and early winter
when they highest is serious problem with
most poultrymen.
Taking it for granted that the pulets were
Matched early and have made good growth during
the summer season, we would get the entire flock
of spring pullets, yearlings and all into winter
quarters in September That is, would have
the poultryhouse and yards put in order for win
ter then, so there will be no Encouragement to
disturb the flock in any way dsarrange its
daily routine habits during late October. Novem-
Der and December, when most desire the eggs.
One of the principal factors for securing high
egg production in the poultry flock Is exercise. A
hen kept closely cooped will not lay as many
eggs during a season; she will take on fat instead
and become unhealthy. Give the hens plenty of
range-and then get larger basket In which to
carry the eggs to market.

such Keen senses that they can keep the tempera-
ture at close to lob degrees without referring to
a thermometer, which instrument is never en-
ployed.
Custom Matching In this country Is quite an
other matter, and has been made possible only by
the Invention of incubators of the continuous
type, heated from a coal-burning furnace and
requiring only a comparatively small amount of
attention. 1t Is line of work which farmers
wives and other women can follow with success
and to which farmers themselves as we'll as the
owners of large poultry plants turning their
attention. Men and women living near the larger
towns. and especially If close to the railroad sta
ton or on trolley line particularly well sit
uated to do custom Matching, for people keeping
few hens will come personally with their eggs
and also call for the chickens-just as they do In
Egypt by the way, except for the means of
veyance
The initial investment need not be large. One
can start with single machine and increase the
size of his plant as business warrants. little
advertising by means of circulars or better, in
q newspaper, will bring the custom. 1t is first
necessary, however. to learn all about running
the incubator 1t would be foolish to seek GUS
toners before becoming thoroughly familiar with
artificial incubation and making several expert
mental hatchings. These can be made in the fall
winter.
Along with custom Matching goes the sale of
day-0ld chicks. This Is another line which men
and women in the country or elsewhere who have
but little capital may begin in a small way and
increase with their business. The two branches
may we'll be combined Also. If at any time there
be a dearth of customhatchng orders, the ma
chimes may be kept running just the same to fill
orders for newly Matched chickens. For Matching
chicks, charge based on the number Of eggs in
an incubator tray is often made. If, for example,
the tray will accommodate rs eggs, the charge
may be 81 and upwards. Just as much time and
fuel are required for dozen eggs as for IS. OF
course IL the eggs to be Matched for several Gus
toners are received at the same time, they can
be placed In the same machine, but 1t will be very
difficult to decide to whom the chicks belong when
they are out of the Shells
If the hatcher is using single machines, 1t IL
wise to employ the smaller Sizes The machines
which come in sections most satisfactory, for
they can be added to like sectional bookcases
as ones business grows. OF course the custom
hatcher takes responsibility. He does his best.
and If the eggs fail to hatch the loss is the Gus

that they were fertile, even, until test at the
end of FIVE days is made. Likewise, the hatcher
runs no open accounts. If he Is wise. deposit
should lie made when the eggs are left and the
remainder paid when the chicks are delivered.

AUTOMOBILE is GREAT HELP
When Farmer Goes to Town and
on His Return.

In some sections farmers are hitch
ing a road drag to the auto when TAX
ing trip to town or anywhere else
on the roads. The car pulls the drag
along the mile or two of road that
the farmer cares to keep up. On the
way home he picks up the drag where
he left it and drags the other side of
the road going back, making such a
round each time the car is taken out.

laid 1t on the block, and chopped

process now, especially in the West
and in Canada, where fattening
poultry has developed into more of
a fine art than in the eastern states.
There is a difference of from
three to seven cents pound In the
price paid for well-fleshed or fat
tened birds and that paid for pssul-
try Just off the range. AS this
means a difference of from Is to
35 cents on a fiye-pound chicken,
it is well worth while to fatten the
fowls.

Message of Easter.

Easter again proclaims its message
to the world. Nature lends her en-
chantment to the day, and makes all
things bright with her unfolding
promise of the resurrection.
The wooded hills, the mystic cam
yons, the Powered meadows, home
building birds, the sparkling dew
drops on grass and flower awaken,
under the warming rays of the rising
sun. into a world beautiful, made
sweeter by the presence of him who
is risen from the dead. And man.
looking up from his work. rejoices.
In city and country; in art-domed
cathedral and isolated church; in
mansion and cabin is sung in har-
monious cadence, sometimes soft and
low, and, then again, in accelerated
movement, the glad tidings of Eas-
terrible, with its message of the day
and to the days toilers, Christ is
risen!"
So man must ever seek to rise SUI
perior to the destructive forces
around him. He must measure up
to his ideal if he would escape the de-
basement wrought by the dominance
of his lower self. In no other way
can he expect to live the ideal life.
His inspiration and ideal are found
in Christ. His entrance as an anna
teur into the Christian life is but in
dicative of his growth into that of an
artist. And in this progressive GU
mulative ascendancy he is conscious
of the leadership of One, who, by one
decisive stroke of matchless power,
in the resurrection from the death,
proved his Sonship, authority, supe-
riority and divinity.
Therefore, however wild and steep
your path may be; however mighty
the sweep of sinful propensities and
habits; however dark and threaten
ing the clouds that cross your path,
take heart and press on! Casters
message is for the world. 1t puts a
song in the individual heart So as
nature responds to the touch of
spring, may mankind everywhere en-
ter into the spirit of Easter.

History.
The history of the Army and Navy
Union dates from March 81, 1883,
when Articles of Incorporation were
granted for an organization to be
known as the Regular Army Union
of the United States of America. Dur
ing the rs years of it's existence the
name of the organization has been
subject to various changes, in order
that all members and ex-members of
the Regular and Volunteer forces of
the United States might be afforded
a certain recognition for their SER
vices. The Articles of Incorporation
have been amended from time to
time to conform with these changes,
and in their present form embrace
copies of resolutions that authorized
in the order mentioned the follow
ing names: Regular Army Union"
Regular Army and Navy Union" and |
Army and Navy Union of the United |
