AMERICAN HEN IS
 WITHOUT AN EQUAL
NO MATTER WHAT PROFIT IS MADE ON EGGS, WON'T MAKE
 UP FOR PAST LOSS.
Jacob j. Partridge is Back at Majestic Hotel ITO Keep From Getting Sick He Says.

Among the guests at the Majestic
 hotel is Jacob J. Partridge, of Chicago. and when Jacob registered every one
 extended to him the glad had" fer thls marked his thirteenth ann4ai visit
 to this noted 5ealth resort.
 ! For several years NIT. Partridge has been associated with several large ip-
 dustries i1 Chicago which have their
 stage setting and which get their ia- spiration from the famous stocllyarIs of that city His friends. Who recog
 nize hls worth, and his business com, petitors who have had on numerous ! occasions ample evidence of his abilj-
 ty' declare he is the one who put
 pack in the packing industry of the
 country Just at the present time
 however, MT Partridge is in business
 for himself. but he in one of those modest young men when it comes to telling about his own business.
 Besides the rackins business there are several thing this welcome visi- tor is authority on. and one of them
 s the great American hen. He knows the hen, for the reason that he has had occasion to compute her laying ability in the business world of which he is an important factor, and 10 show how deeply he appreciated the Ameri- can hen, in 1910 Mir Partridge made a trip 10 China and Japan and made study of the female of the species" in the ieathered tribe over there.
 "The American hen is in a class by herself he said yesterday at the Majestic. The hen of China and the hen of Japan are all right in their way but their ways are oriental, and, like Bret Hart's tribute Co the Chinese. they won't stand the test of food SO. ciety in the United States The hens
 there 'ay eggs that are smaller than ] the American hen, for one thing and while one might send a product of
 that kind 10 mining camp, V1lera l scrambled eggs are a speciality they
 won't do for ther purposes.
 Then. to-. shipping the product of
 the Chinese and Japanese hen to the United States is costly experiment f for the reason that one has to carry ones crates over there. Or they have no lumber n that country. and when
 the eggs are hacked some twenty are found to be rotten or broken to a
 crate, so that when one is bring over
 lots in 10000 that loss amounts to
 considerable As view the American hen, realizing her worth, I cannot but
 join with that noted poet who paid
 tribute to her in the following. You may break, you may shatter the shell, if you will,
 But America's hen remains pueen
 of 'em all
 That is d beautiful thought and inn
 mortalizes the greatness of tae grea; American hen
 Mir Partridge was reminded that at the present time there were alleged to be several million eggs in cold st9r' age. which. it was tCld him. was eath- CT tough on the hen. and that prices of
 eggs were now high. He stated that no matter what the profit those who
 we're holding the eggs might make, # would not compensate for the ,oss of last year
 The fact that Mr. Partridge is now anj3ying his thirteenth annual visit to Hlot Springs speaks of his fondness 1 for he city
 '1l like to come here, he stated,
