Trust That Hen
Romaine Loudermilk in Farm and Home.


Full oft we hear somebody say, ooh,
ing idjits' will not lay, though eating like
the dickens. We've fed them forty sacks
of wheat, a costly ton of milo, and, too, the
corn the boogers eat would fill a mighty
silo; but we nave yet an egg to get from
all that hungry hundred-Tve never seen
the beat. You bet I'm done with hens, by
thunder Of course we hear this now and
then-it fills our hearts with sorrow the
thing to do is trust that hen-perhaps she II
lay tomorrow. You should be glad she lays
at all-suppose she was striker! she q
make the trusts and combines all seem
naught but humble pikers. We all eat eggs;
in gay cafe, hotel, or home, or beanery. Old
Biddy has things her own way-She owns
the egg machinery; we can but praise the
trusty hen and speak good words about her,
cen though she lays but now and then we
could not do without her She's cheerful,
CAV and then again. she's faithful, true and
steady; we've simply got to trust that hen
she won't lay till she's ready. Now, I'll tell
you you just how to do to make hens lay
real quickly-this dope of mine is strictly
new, I'll spread it on quite thickly: Just
mix some corn and oats and bran with wheat
to make them rustic, mix all the common
sense you can. with lots of hump and hustle,
and oyster shells and something green, and
milo, grit and water, with lots OF work to
keep things clean, which might nearly
oughter make 'em lay an egg each day and
keep in fine condition-takes lots of work to
| in So keep them fed, with houses neat.
they'll surely lay now or 1ater-iust trust
that hen, she can't be beat-she has no i'm

The Carranza regime in Mexico is rapidly
losing prestige, if it ever had any, by rea-
son of the continued operations of Francisco
Villa, boss bandit. The new government
announced with much eclat the various and
sundry things it would do to Villa, but
Villa remains uncaptured. Not only this,
but his operations grow in size and import
ance, and he is more defiant than ever.
Carranza is evidently of not such calibre as
to warrant one in believing that the future
of Mexico will be safe in his hands.

A Contemporary Set Right.

From an article reproduced in The Way
from the Savannah Press, on the Savannah
Situation We are convinced that we did our
Savannah contemporary an injustice in say
ing it had straddled the question of enforce
ment of the prohibition law in that city by
Mayor PierpOnt. While in past years the
Press has not, if we remember correctly
demanded the enforcement of the liquor
laws in its city it is now giving the mayor
able and earnest support. In the article
mentioned the Press said:
THE disregard of one law means the
violation of others. If we can sell beer
and whisky illegally and go unpunish-
ed We can expect the same immunity
when We violate the law against muir
der, or arson, or forgery, or, in fact,
when We commit any crime which is es-
pecially forbidden by the statutes. The
mayor is wise in giving notice of his in
tention in connection with the opera
ton of a new law"
What our esteemed Savannah contempt
rary says is very true. Disregard of one
law breeds disrespect and contempt of all
laws, and breeds anarchy. A wholesome
respect for all laws and their sure and just
enforcement is needed at this time, and it is
encouraging to know that the press of the
state is awaking the public conscience to
that fact.

Chicago, April S.-Senator Warren G.
Chairman Of the Republican national
convention. viii sound the keynote Of the
1916 campaign, tonight placed himself In
the limelight as a possible Presidential
nominee. Speaking at the Appomattox
Day banquet OF the Hamilton Club, in
views which were accepted as those of
powerful influences in the party.
There was no sentimental bid for pro-
gressiye support The Senator's notion
OF the 1912 skeleton was that everybody
should forget It," More than that, there
was a wincing among the Roosevelt men
present when the recentIy-created con-
ventIon spokesman said:
There must be some safe attitude be-
tween being too proud to fight and
magnifying the chip on the shoulder
which calls for a scrap"
Recalled as Possibility.
The hundreds OF banauetters, among
whom were members Of the national
committee, who helped select Senator
Harding for temporary chairman. were
not slow to recall that the Senator HIM
self had been proclaimed as erninently
safe for the Job as middle-of-the-roader
between old-fashioned conservatism and
the Oyster Bay brand of reasoning.
or course, Senator Harding hammered
the Wilson administration with a right
good will, pouring upon it both pity and
ridicule. And he made no enemies among
the captains Of industry present when
he said a good word for capital
There is one trouble with the Demo
cratic party" he said. "It has been talk
ing for 100 years about the interests OF
the American consumer and has never
had a thought for the American pro-
ducer. It is not the consumer who made
the higher American standard; it is the
producer with coin in his pocket and at
tending ability to buy"
Talks on Tariff.
Again, while on the subject of the
tariff, the Senator remarked:
1T is all wrong TO proclaim success
dishonest No law can ever provide a
substitute for thrift and industry
Nothing is more unfair than the insinua-
tIon that the man who is concerned about
the confidence OF the business world Is
an opponent OF human progress"
The protective policy, insisted the sena-
tor, would be the great issue Of the
coming campaign, although there would
be more spectacular issues such as
preparedness, but he held that protection
should be made to pay for preparedness.
What prosperity obtained now, he said,
was due to the war IN Europe. The
pathetic spectacle OF the present attempt
at preparedness at washington, he said,
Is due to-threatened bankruptcy of the
treasury amid the demand Of ordinary
expense and utter inadequacy.
