There was much disappointment in
baseball circles today. when the boys
awakened to see the ground covered
with snow. Many Of the teams had
planned to get out on the diamond this
afternoon for practice, but the freak
storm knocked out the plans.
The independent and league teams
will open their season in two or three
weeks. and the boys are anxious to get
out to get into trim for their opening

on the lawns last Saturday afternoon

by the boys that they would get

AMONG The
POULTRY FANCIERS

Ritter Hopes is one of the latest
suburbauites to engage in the scientific
raising of poultry, and although having
engaged in the business on a small
scale at his home at Richardson Park
hc already has established record as a
breeder of egg producers. Mr.. Hopes
has eighteen Plymouth Rock hens, and
for the past four months they have
averaged eight and nine eggs a day.
Several days ago Mr.. Hopes collected
seventeen eggs from his hen house each
hen except one having laid that day.
Tho eighteenth hen was setting. Al the
present time Mr.. Hopes has three hens
setting on Plymouth Rock eggs. In
speaking of his SUCCESS. Mr. Hopes
said it was due to careful study, plenty
Of fresh air. and scientific feeding Of his
birds.
Mrs. Conrad Reichsteiner. of West
Thirty.iifth street, has purchased a pen
of Houdans from Fred a. Middleton. Of
No. 10 East Twenty third street Mr..
Middleton obtained the birds from Il
well-known breeder in New Jersey.

ket street. has had success with first
cross OF White Leghorns and White

variety have proved to be exceptional

Mrs. +. NJ Wcstover. who lives at
Milford. has flock Of al Indian Runner
ducks, from which She got 024 eggs dur
ing March. These eggs are a beautiful
white and of largo size.
There is difference Of opinion con-
corning the number of eggs a hen should
lay in a year. varying from 100 10 500.
a standard should be set to work
which will give a satisfactory net profit
at the end of year without impairing
the laying qualities of the hen for am
other season. The question naturally
arises, what shall this standard be?
First, Mc must know that standard
for an individual fowl IA impossible.
Then all that remains for a. working
basis is the general average for the en-
tire aock. BY trap-nesting the general
average can bo raised from ten to
twenty-five per cent. according to the
variety and strain. II has been proven
time after time that there is vast differ.
cnco in strains. A race horse can be
traced by the record OF its ancestors.

They are called the Chautauqua
Scientific and Literary circle.
1t was from these meeting, which
became so popular as to attract
thousands that the pre- sent
"Chautauquas' sprang up. 1t is
an Indian name, pronounced
':Shaw-taw-kwa" and there are
few towns whose names are
oftener pronounced and few 50
little known by the general pub
lie.
1t is from the assemblages held
annually at Lake. Chautauqua
that the idea of the modern
Chautauqua is conceived, and the
plan has been extended until
various Chautauqua circuits now
cover the entire country.
The Chautauqua has been
called the peoples university,
and the extension of the system
has resulted in carrying the
message of learned men and the
most refined amusement tx

ORIGIN OF CHAUTAUQUA

The origin of the term chau-
tauqua as applied to the program
of music, lectures and entertain
ments conducted in thousands of
American cities and villages is
little understood by the people
generally, which is indicated by
the comment and frequent in
quiries heard at this time.
Chautauquas had their origin
in courses of study originating at
Lake Chautauqua, a body of
water eighteen miles long near a
village of that name seventy
miles south of Buffalo, N. Y.
Lewis Miller started the first
meeting of this kind at Farport,
the course being solely bible
study and training Sunday school
teachers. The Chautauquas were
started for years later, taking
their name from the lake, the
course continuing four years, a
Greek course continuing the first
year, a Roman the next year,
then English and American,

MAKING DECISIONS

From the time we are old
enough to know right from
wrong we are compelled to make
decisions: to say yes" to some
things and mo- to others. In
fact, all life consists in yielding
to good impulses and resisting
the bad. No man ever succeeded
unless he learned this lesson.
We can never form a character,
acquire property, gain knowl-
edge, provide for old age, take
care of those dependent upon us,
or get job worth while until we
learn to make decisions. And
the men who draw the big
salaries are those who can pass
judgment, and are willing to
stand by the judgments they
make.
1t is the easiest thing in the
world to take the line of least
resistance and to do the easy
thing. If a man would acquire
an education he must foregc
pleasures for time. If he would
get and keep a good job, he must
deny himself indulgences that dc
not tend in the right direction
If he would save money he must
make decision after decision anc
stick to them.

How many of us resolve that
we will save money and make a
good start, but fall down, because
we yield to the temptation to go
to those places or in that COM
pany where our resisting power
will be weakened. Suppose we
have a spare night. If we stay
at home we know that we won't
spend any money. If we go to
the theatre we will spend a cer-
tain amount; but if we go to the
club, or out with the crowd, we
are not certain where we will go,
or what we will do, and being
with the crowd we must do as
the crowd does. The result is
bound to be a breaking down of
the resolution to save. ..
The habit of consistently saying
mo" can only be acquired when
a man has an ambition, goal,
and an incentive. If he would
own a home, acquire business,
get good job, be a man among
men, and have a master passion,
the impetus will be with him
steadily to spur him on and help
him make the many little de-
cisions thet bring the results he
desires. The bread line is full of
men who could not make de-
cisions and stick to them; who
played with temptations of vari-
Gus kinds until they lost out;
whose declining years must be
spent in doing the easy things
because in other days they could
not do the hard ones.
You never will learn the secret
of how men acquire money until
you learn the fine art of making
decisions; and if you do not learr
this lesson for yourself, the worlo
