Must Not Skimp

To build an extra-6ne car the maker
must not skimp. He must have
margin to work on.
Mr.. Bate secured that margin by
cutting factory cost. He built and
equipped this model plant, just for
this single type. By utter efficiency
he cut factory cost in two. On this
years output, his methods will save
as about 100000.
It is that 81, 600, 600 which pays Tor

SHE SELLS CHICKS.

Since the middle of last January
Mrs. Kate Tudor and her daugh-
tiers. Fannie and Winnie, living on
a residence street in Topeka, have
sold more than 5000 baby chickens,
hatched from twenty incubators- The
chicks were sold to chicken raisers
in a dozen different States. Every
week during the spring and summer.
they shipped an average OF 500 TO
$40 chickens, and had their produc-
ing capacity been twice as large
they could have placed every chicken
Matched. Mrs. Tudor utilities the
basement of her home, keeping the
incubators going week in and week
out during the Matching season. She
purchases the eggs, matches them and
ships the chickens before they are
day old. Therefore she never has
many on hand at one time. The de.
mand for her chicks has grown until
she receives dozens Of orders weekly
which she Is unable to fII. Previous

years. The idea OF going into the
wholesale Matching and shipping busi-
ness occurred to Mrs. Tudor. With
her daughters she moved to Topeka
in order to have better shipping IA

ing of only purebred stock. and By
judicious Advertising, the business has
outgrown the fondest dreams OF its
founders. Rhode Island Reds, Ply

fanciers in and near Topeka supply

ing from twenty-five to 100, or even

into compartments. holding from ten
TO seventeen chicks. After filing the
boxes with their chirping cargoes,
they are intrusted TO the tender mer,

fiat rate OF 10 cents each is re-
ceived for the newly Matched chick
ems. which are shipped almost as
soon as they are removed from the
shells.
Next year the capacity Of the hatch
cry will be increased TO meet the
extra demand created by the quality
OF stock produced by the Tudors.
Plans are already being made for
installing at least one incubator of
1,a0-egg capacity. Those now in use
are smaller, ranging from 100 TO 500

Whenever the Kaiser sits for Q
photograph. said DIR. Gordon, he
keeps his withered arm out OF
sight. Because OF this deformity
the German ruler las entertained
hatred for his mother. whom he
blames for his physical defect, the
speaker said.
Pride. conceit, vaulting ambition
nervousness, cruelty and self
worship were a few Of the counts
in DR.. Gordon's indictment OF the
Kaiser. whose hatred for humanity
he ascribed to envious admiration
for a physical perfection denied
himself
The Kaiser's grudge aginst his
English mother. said DR.. Gordon
was because she dropped him from
her saddle when he was but two
years old and MANNED him.
According TO DR.. Gordon, the
Turk is the only friend in the world
the Kaiser has left.

OF course you individually do not
need to turn over any new leaf at

want to call personal characteristics
weaknesses-but nothing that any
one could object to who isn't q
Crouch, a crank and overly critical
and Heaven knows you're a million
times too good for the people with
whom you have to live!
So there's really no reason for you
to make any New Yssr's resolutions
to live a better life the coming year
but there are lots of people who
could be benefited by wiping OF the
slate and taking a fresh start.
Don't you wish, for instance
That your husband would resolve:
To take as much interest in his
home during the coming year as he
does in his business?
To treat you with as much con-
sideration and politeness as he does
his best customer?
To watch what his children are
doing and thinking as closely as he
does what his clerks are doing and
thinking?
Don't you wish that your husband
would resolve not to take out on his
family all the nerves, irritability and
general cussedness that he is afraid
and ashamed to show to the outside
world?
That he wouldn't say things TO
you that he wouldn't dare to say to
any woman who had an able-bodied
brother, or to his cook or stenogra-
leave?
you do for him as a matter of course
you; that he wouldn't row over bills
every month and act as if you had
eaten every particle of the food that
came into the house. ana worn all
the clothes. and monopolized all the
light and heat, and occupied all the
furniture?
Don't you wish that your hus-
band would resolve that during the
coming year he would help you to
make a happy home by being cheer
full in 1t and interested in it-by be-
ing human instead of just a check
book, or a tyrant before whom the
whole household trembled?
That he would resolve TO pay you
three hundred and sixty-flve compll-
ments, each one OF which would make
a happy day for you.
That he would resolve to get ac-
quainted with his children and win
their confidence so that he might
give them the help and guidance that
they need so sorely and that only a
wise and loving father can give to
his children.
Don't you wish that your wife
would resolve:
To be a better housekeeper and to
bring every bit of intelligence that
she's got to running her home scien-
tifcalIy and efficiently.
To devote more time and attention

To make herself look as attractive
