been selected primarily for the pro-
duction of table poultry. They are
also good layers Of browns -shelled eggs
They hatch their chicks and are the
most satisfactory for those who want
one flock Of purebred chickens for
both meat and egg purposes. The
more popular Of the general purpose
breeds are Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Isl.
and Reds, Wyandottes and Orpingtons
The most popular variety Is the Bar
red Plymouth Rock. This is recog-
nized as the best chicken for marke ct
as it is large and wellmeated and fat

How can one detect heavy laying
characteristics in a mature pullet or
hen? Notice the illustration of the egg
type hen. Note how her body resem-
bles the wedge shape Of the dairy
COW. Narrow and trim at her neck
and wide and deep at the rear, she
has the greater part Of her body be-
hind her legs. A good layer has a
large, soft, flexible rear end, drop
ping down between ner legs and so
wide that the legs are set far apart to
accommodate it. The rear end Of the
hen corresponds to the udder Of the
dairy COW and must be large and yield.

city do 1t. Let's provide means
for a thorough investigation of
municipal plants and obtain the
knowledge through the exper-
fence of other municipalities that
will guide US right. 1t has been
rumored that the city administra-
tion has been considering an
application which has been pres
ented to it for a water franchise.
The city administration has no
moral right to grant such a
franchise without first submitting
1t for the approval of the citizens
when they know that a desire for
4 different plan exists. Should
the city administration proceed
to grant a private franchise
knowing that the sentiment in
the city is strong for municipal
plant. They will have usurped
the power delegated to them
through the peoples vote and
denied to their constituency the

Baxter Is the one seIatiug 70 u.
|installation Of ! new. or increased
water system. The general Opin-
lion Is II seems from casual in
qniry that more complete plsui
for the town is needed.
This need is imperative more
on account of providing adequate
FIRE protection and to provide for a
probable sewer system than for
house use at the present time.
Provisions for a sewer system
would be a subsequent issue and
would be a question to be decided
BY the interested parties.
The sentiment touching. upon
the above propositions and
(mostly in favor Of them) is
wide spread through out the town
The people OF Baxter are awak-
eued for once to the present and
future progress of the city. This
awakening has stirred them to
think and the think Is putting
them into action.
The present is the opportuue
moment for accomplishments and
progress. No citiEeu should be so
reactionary as to oppose any
move tending TO beH'6t the town.
II we are 10 have ;h,s: improve
meuts and they are to be made
then firsi Of ali the question to
be settled is as to how and In
what way or manner We are to
obtain them. There are two ways;
the one through private owner
ship the other thru a municipal
ownership A private owner
ship would uecessitate the grant,
ing of a franchise for term of
years, say 20 to Is years. rates
to consumers would be fixed as
agreed upon at the time of grant
ing the franchise. These rates
in all probability would be as
high as now or higher and would
not be reduced at any future time.
The citizens would have to pay
the fixed price for service rendered
ID addition to this the city or the
citizens would have to pay an
annual fixed price for all FIRE
plugs. Should FIRE plugs be pro-
vided for the protection of all the
city, the expense would be en-
ormous and would be a burden
upon the taxpayers. Should fire
plugs be provided for the more
important districts only, then
IN unfair condition would exist

would be equally taxed for the

plan propose 10 Furnish the Gre
plugs At 4 COS, Of 5000 each pei

cost sieO0.Oo per year or a total
of $50, 10000 for 2Oyears which
the taxpayers would have to pay
and continue so do at the end Of
that time If protection was con.
tinued.
To cut down the amount Of
plugs would not remedy the
matter because the rate OF cost
for protection would be at the
same rate per plug and the cost
would be In proportion to the
benefit received az the aggregate
cost would be reduced 90 In pro-
portion the protection benefits
would be reduced.
Under a private franchise, the

Still further, suppose the city

charges would be made for sewer
or closet service, this would entail

second, FIRE plug service and

These bonds can be sold at or
