RETURN ALL lNFERTlLE EGGS
Disappointing to Customer Who Wants
70 Oct - Many Chicks ~ posst
ble-No Fault Of Buyer.

1nfertile eggs are very disappointing
to q customer who wants to get as
many chicks as possible out Of the
number he buys. Some owners adver-
tise that they will replace all ~infertile
eggs. while others guarantee q ma
jority hatch.

v days incubation. the purchaser
should return them to seller, as evil
dence that they we're not fertile. and
receive fresh eggs in exchange. It is
no fault of the buyer II the eggs are
infertile.

Odd Watch CRYSTALS.

A celluloid watch crystal which will
be as good as a glass one, and far
more durable, will fill a long-felt want.
Anyone wearing a watch is liable to
break the glass crystal in an accident
at any time. One reason for the popu-
larity of open-face watches is that they
are provided with heavier crystals
than the timepieces with hunting
cases, and, unless the cases are extra
stiff, they will give sufficient under
moderate pressure to cause the glass
beneath to break. The celluloid crys-
tai is said to have been successfully
made and used.

No Economy In Feeding Just One Kind

There is no economy in feeding
fowls only one kind Of grain. for that
compels them to eat more than they
should to get a sufficient quantity Of
food elements.
A large part of the egg is water,
which necessitates providing the lay.
ers with an ample supply of pure wa
ter. All Of the fowls should have
plenty of pure drinking water also.

He made his way to New York. He
knew that Father" was still alive.
The death of so great a man would
have rung through the walls Of every
penitentiary In the country inside of
a few days.
And he found Father" exactly
where he had expected-in Regan's
restaurant. Father" kept to his old
habits at seventy-three. Trailed day
and night, Father" laughed in the de-
tectives' faces. He had a genius for
organization; he knew how to select
others to do the dirty work for him.
Red" skunk in to Regan's. for now
he felt the prison shame upon him, and
the place had changed somewhat; it
was gaudier and more glaring. But
nobody knew him, and in q moment
he had spotted Father" in the old
corner. Red" was deciding whether
he should cross the restaurant to him
when he realized that Father" was
talking to the young fellow who sat
opposite him, the two fenced in be-
tween the pewlike structures that Re-
gan's affects.
The memory Of his own downfall
came strongly over him. He had been
just such q chap as this bright-eyed
boy who was bending forward and
listening to old Fathers arguments.
Red" slipped out Of his seat, and.
unseen by Father" took q place in
the seat behind the old man. The pew
like construction concealed him COM
pletely, but round the edge of the
pew adjacent to the window Reds"
sharp ears could catch the ~low-spoken
words.
ITS . cinch," Father" was saying.
You're a fool, boy. to worry over
losing that job. Every mans a CRATER;
the ones who succeed are simply those
who don't get found out"
Age had not dulled the edge of "Fa-
TIERS" tongue. Just the same words
Father" had used to him, Red" in
those years SO long gone by. Father"
had made a crook of many a decent
man with his damnable sophistries.
II don't know" muttered the boy.
"Tve got to live. and I'm tempted,
Mr.. Costigan. II I'd ever known my
mother it might have been different"
"Oh, women don't understand" said
Father" God bless all good women,
I say. But it's a mans world, boy, and
a man has to fight with all means in
his power. Now that engraving abil-
ity of yours is simply genius Crofts-"
Red" started as If an electric shock
had gone through him. "Crofts!" 1t
was not a common name. And his boy
would be about that age. And the
hereditary engraving power, which he
himself had inherited from his own
father! And the look in the boys
eyes that had attracted him as a mag
net. Blood found it's own!
RED" leaped from his seat and con
fronted the pair. He saw the amazed
recognition fame into Fathers face.
Red" raised one wrist, the muscles
| hard as steel. Father" WINGED. He
lodged the blow.
But the blow did not fall. Father
! was an old man. and Red" was toe
happy to find the boy, to see him
standing before him, alarm on his
face, wonder, stupefaction, in his
eyes.
RED" linked his arm through the
lads and led him from the restaurant
unresisting. At the door, however
| the boy stopped and freed himself.
You are-you are" he stammered
"Your father" said Red" softly
"And God sent me to you at just the
instant, Jimmy. You're coming home
with me now, and-and I guess we'll
run straight together"

Farmers are now working the corn
