ASK FOR IT'S RETURN

MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAk MISS tAlRFAA:
I am young married woman and
while in the country 1 was introduced
to a man who resides there. 1 found
that he was an habitual drinker.
spoke to him about it. and when 1 left
for home he promised to reform. Later
sent him my picture with my hus-
bands permission.
Since then 1 hear he has not kept his
promise, and as 1 want to keep the re-
spect and esteem Of my friends there
abouts 1 am anxious that he should re-
turn my picture to me. Will you kinoly
advise me how TO go about it. l assure
you your advice will be greatly appre-
ciated. MRS. II. ID.

man your picture as token of friend
ship might he Ian anchor to windward."
But after all. il never could have sue
eeeded in influencing him TO give up
drinking unless his own will power
urged him to do the right thing. The
only thing for you to do is to write
him little letter telling him that both
you and your husband were interested
in a man who wanted to make an hon
est effort to cure himself of mis- weak
ness. but that since YOU see he is not
trying and perhaps never even seri-
your influence counts for nothing and
that you both agree it would be better
to break OF a useless friendship, II,

regretfully insist on his returning your

BUFF PLYMOUTH ROCKS

The history OF this breed starts
about 1898. and is contemporary with
Bun Wyandottes. Their origin was
largely due to Rhode Island Reds.
which have been bred for many years
in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Some fanciers selected a lot of light
colored Rhode Island Reds and ex-
hioited them as Buff Plymouth Rocks
and Buff Wyandottes.
Fanciers were attracted by their
possibilities, and later used n cross of
Buff Cochins and Light Brahmas. The
mixture of these bloods and the ad-
dition of crosses with Buff Cochins and
Bun Leghorns, made rapid improve
ment in the breed, although 1t inher-
tied black in the wings and tail from
all its ancestors, white in wings from
some. feathered legs from the Cochins
and Brahmas and white in the ear
lobes from the Leghorns. Some of
these still crop up to-day, despite
years of patient effort expended upon
the production and perfection of this
variety.

chestnut in the wings and tails. and

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
Being Sorry For Yourself

/ II shall have peace, as leafy trees
are peaceful
When rain bends down the bough
And shall be more silent and cold
hearted
Than you are now"
An exquisite bit of verse that-and
an exquisite illustration of what q
good time we have being sorry for
ourselves.
What useless performance self
pity is. II one could talk to the lady
in the lyric, how one would like to
say: MY dear madam. why break
your heart about this cold and cruel
person who has not the inclination to
cherish you when You are living and
whose notice YOU only hope to get
when he mourns your death. You
can't have any fun out of that notice;
so why not forego 1t and proceed
now to live and be happy and useful ~
It's always like that Being sorry
for yourself leads YOU to sit help
lessly by. Visioning how the people
who have abused You will grieve
some day over their failure to ap-
preciate YOU.
Being sorry for yourself is very
it and expend therein everything which
might lead you to action and to a
forceful course in the world where
neither you nor any one else would
have cause to pity you.
Don't ever sit still and indulge in
an orgy of weeping over your mis-
fortunes. Instead get up and throw
them off. Refuse to be miserable. Be
asha AIMED 10 be miserable. You can
the very minute you stop being sorry
for yourself and are disgusted with
yourself for sitting still and feeling
prosecuted.

feathers on the shanks still bother the
breeders of Buff Rocks. but by con-
stantly culling such specimens, these
traits can be bred out
Much of the work of producing this
variety was done previous to 1898. In
that year splendid specimens were
exhibited at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago and admitted to the American
Standard of Perfection.
In addition to their beauty the splen-

pealed to their breeders and the popu-

The fowls are large and active, be-
ing good foragers. strong layers, rapid
growers, and give satisfactory results
either on the farm with free range or
in small backyard flock. When
dressed they are very attractive and
find ready sale.
The hens are splendid layers of

and rear their chicks. The chicks are

ment of the really up-to-date poultry
man who handles only pure bred
stock, Every egg is almost the exact
image of every other egg. The only
classification necessary is on the basis
of breeds. OF course there will be
now and then an egg that must be
excluded, because inferior in size or
shape. An occasional double-yolk egg
will be withheld also. But pure bred
stock will classify their own eggs. EX-
amining the proposition therefore
from every possible angle. the advan-
tage of keeping the standard bred
bird instead of the mongrel is very
great to the man who aspires to
things worth while in poultry culture.
