city limits on the lower river road.
Unlike many Of his colleagues. Mr..
Upson started with small flock
six hens. From this. by continuous
and scientific breeding and selection,
he has built up plant which is a
model breeding plant; not as large by
far as many In the state, but the
only one in the state which the poul-
try department OF the Oregon Agri-
cultural college recognizes as on a
par with the plant at the college, and
which will undoubtedly be designated
as the Southern Oregon Demonstra-
ton Poultry Farm" working in CO.
operation with the college.
The question naturally arises. what
methods have been followed on this

this by quoting from an article writ.

Another man who is making sue
cess OF the poultry business In Jose

who came here about ; years ago
and has built up fine flock OF high
producers. Mr., Hammerbacher has
devoted his energies to the prodnc-

that he has succeeded is shown by
the fact that one hen in the pen en-

REQUEST PERMISSION
 TO USE RURAL ROUTES

The Arkansas State Council of De- fense has telegraphed to the Post master General, requesting that the rural mail carriers of Arkansas be permitted to carry on their routes the food enrolment cards, leave them at -ach home to be filled, and gathered on the return trip. It is figured that in this way considerable will be saved in postage, but the big item is the personal attention given to the cards. The signer of each card pledges to assist in food conservation, under the direction of the food administrator in Washington. If the request is grant ed, this work will be greatly simpli- fled in Arkansas.

CIRCUIT COURT
 CONVENED TODAY
Judge Haynie Declares to Jury That He and Prosecuting At tOrney Have Been Marked for Assassination.

The July term of circuit court con- neved here this morning at 10 o'clock with Judge G. R. Haynie presiding, Prosecuting Attorney Tillman 5. Parks of Hope representing the state and a goodly number of visiting and home attorneys at the bar.
 Practically all of the forenoon was taken up by the court in impaneling and instructing the grand jury, the instructions, to quote his honor, were not only for the benefit of the jury, but for everyone who might care to hear them. Judge Haynie referred to some of the most prominent laws in the statutes which are more common ly the source of trouble, such as "pis- tol toting," which he said should be more rigidly enforced than almost any other law. The dipping of cattle was spoken of as a law that should be enforced gradually so that the people could become accustomed to it, as well as giving them ample time so that they would not be taken away from their crops. The four-wire fence law is one the court said must be en- forced, and would be in time. Judge Haynie's opinion on the present "bone dry law" has already been made pub lie, but he repeated it from the bench this morning and added that this was another law that the people should be forced to respect. His criticisms of gambling and the selling or storing of cigarettes and papers were very severe. The grand jury, he said, should see that both of these laws were brought home to their violators with ample punishment.
 Quite a surprise was sprung by the court when he declared, while instruct ing the jury on murder, that word had reached his ear to the effect that the judge and the prosecuting attorney both had been marked for assassina- tion, not by certain persons charged with murder, but by the friends of the alleged murderers. Judge Haynie said he could not vouch for the truth of the report, but word had reached Prosecuting Attorney Parks as well as himself to this effect He further said that he had not the least fear of the threat, and he denounced his as sailants as towards who would shoot in the dark or behind a three, but would not approach their prey in the open. The further instructions on the different kinds of murder, the methods employed, etc., were closely followed by the crowd that filled the court room. lie urged the jury to thoroughly investigate violations of these laws and said the reports rela- ] tive to the would-be assassins should also be looked into.
 The first case to come up for trial this afternoon is Jim Barham vs. The
 Southern Surety Co.,, for S5,000 dam ages.

1t was a most gratifying specta-
Gle, and one that speaks clearly
for the strength Of Catholic faith,
to witness the immense crowds
that thronged our churches for
the services during Holy Week.
Reports from all parts of the Do
cese Indicate the strong hold
which Catholicity has upon our
people. The spirit OF the Church
during the last days of Lent,
which are given over to reflection
on the closing events Of our
Lord s career on earth, was never
more impressive. Our Catholic
people seemed imbued and per-
meated with the solemn thought
which the church cndeavors to IN
still: reflection on and sympathy
with the Suti'erings. death and
glorious triumph Of our Re
deemer. The large numbers of
people who approached the Sacra
ments on Holy Thursday and on
Easter Sunday furnished the most
convincing evidence that faith in
our midst is based not on love OF
novelty but upon sincere, deep
seated love and conviction.

Prendergast blessed and formally
opened Regina Pacis," the temporary
home for friendless girls established
in Philadelphia, Pa, by the Alliance
of Catholic Women, under the protec-
ton of the Queen of Peace, the latest
title of the Most Blessed Mother in
the Litany of Loretto.
Every room in the spacious house
was completely and splendidly fur
nished by friends of the cause. No
two of the bedrooms are furnished
alike, and not alone are the essentials
of dainty comfort provided, but there
are also beautiful pictures, books and
growing plants to cheer the lonely
girls who will be the welcome guests
of Regina Pacis. The st. Gervase
Luncheon Club, organized by group
of young Convent of Mercy graduates,
will undertake ways and means OF
providing meals for the friendless
girls. The Alliance Bureau of En-
ployment will secure congenial and
profitable position for those who are
seeking work, and homes will be
found for them among the good Cath
