LATEST HINTS ON Hens
To Be GIVEN AT SHOW
Department of Agriculture to Have Ex-
hibit at Poultry Exposition.

Speaker Champ Clark recently advised
keeping hens and eating mush and rice
as an effective means of destroying the
food trust. Persons who are inclined to
act on this advice will be materially
benefited by study Of the Experiment
Station Exhibit by the Department of
Agriculture at the poultry show to be
held in the Union Building at Sixth and
G streets during the week of January Is
to 20.
The Departments exhibit will be the
same as that sent to the Madison Square
Garden show in New York City. and will
show many simple. inexpensive. and prac-
ticable devices and equipment. That the
successful management of a backyard
poultry plant is not merely the throwing
of grain to the hens and then going to
gather the eggs is clearly set forth in
printed pamphlet entitled Poultry Man
agement" which will be distributed free
from the Departments booth.
One of the interesting features Of the
exhibit is the trap-nesting device. The
theory of the trap nest Is a simple one.
yet indispensable to the practical poultry
keeper. By its means the hen who pays a
profit is distinguished from her indif-
ferent sister who merely lays an egg now
and then. and Is dead loss to her keep
er. Each hen that lays goes into the nest
to lay and traps herself. The trapped
hens are released and their numbers (as
shown by leg bands), are recorded in the
egg record. By this means an accurate
record is kept showing the production OF
each hen.

his path was set with troubles that
would have broken a weaker spirit.
1t was a truly American story-a
small beginning-little schooling
hard work-disaster-good humor-
and final, shining, astounding sue
cess.
He fought with poverty, he fought
with disaster, he lost those dearest
to him. But he won.
Because he was of high and brave
intellect, because he had humor as
deep and as true as the human
heart, and because he had struggled
with life, he was 4 great man. So
his works are great

the kindliness, the reaching toward
a bigger thing, the simplicity. In
his work we find all things, from
the ridiculous in "Hucklebery
Finn" to the sublime of Joan of
Arc,"-of serene and lovely beauty
as lofty as Joan herself. A man
who could write two such books as
"Huckleberry Finn" and Joan of
Arc" was sublime in power. His
youth and his laughter are eternal;
his genius will never die.

Get Your Set for Christmas

Mark Twain wanted every
one in America to own a set
Of his books. So one of the
last things he asked US was
that we make a set at SO low
a price that every one might
own II.
He said, Don't make fine
editions. Don't make editions
to sell for 5000 and $500 and
$1,000. Make good books. books
good to look at and easy to
read. and make their price
So we have made this set.
And up to now we were able
to sell 1t at this low price. But

Mark Twain could not foresee.

Before the war we had
contract price for papef. But
now the price OF paper has gone
up. 1t has almost doubled in
price. Even the price Of ink
has gone up. So 1t is impossi-
Bile to make any more sets and
to sell them at this low price.
The last OF the edition Is in
sight. There will never again
be a set of Mark Twain at the
present price.
Remember that ii Is because
Mark Twain sacrificed some OF
his royalties that you can have
a set at this price at all. Take

was so characteristic of him.
