While on The
Subject of the Hen

The hen is very tickle fowl. No
one knows what she will do next. She
is usually equipped with one head,
two wings, two feet and one tail, each
possessing large amount of surplus
energy that seems can only be worked
off properly in good garden or flower
bed The hen is peculiar in being
able to apply all the above simuitan-
eously. AS sort of peace Offering she
occasionally lays an egg after every
assurance that the prevailing market
is not over twenty-five cents ger
dozen. Per contra, at other times
she refrains evidently in realization
Of the shock to the nervous system of
her owner. For quick returns from
misplaced confidence, nothing beats
smooth ice and hen Some folks
say "the hen sits," others, THAI she
"sets," but the average farmer whc\
surprised by an intense cackling most
desires to know whether she is
"laying" or "lieing," but English and
grammar enter as little into the
every day life of the hen as strictly
religious thoughts when she is found
in the favorite plant bed dancing a jig
There is no better test of ones ability
to resit profanity unless it be two
hens cooperating in one small garden.
The hen has some instincts of the
travelling salesman, taking samples of
the best tomatoes and canteloupes,
and when indulging in spirit of hu-
mility goes out and eats worms.

LADIES' AUXILIARY OF
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Cham
Der of Commerce was organized YES
terday with about 45 present and a
very lively interest. Mrs. F. M. Farr
was elected president, Mrs. J. Nj. FAINT.
vice-president, and Mrs. Jones, secre-
tary.
This organization will meet again
next Wednesday morning at 1000
O'Clock at the Chamber of Commerce
to perfect plans for work to be taken
up in and around Union.
The organization of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Chamber of Com
n1erce completes one of the strongest
links and most forceful units for ser
vice. There is no doubt as to Union
having magnificent body of most
excellent men interested in anything
that will bring success to Union and
Union county, but it would be as i'm
possible to run Chamber of Com
merce without ladies as it would for
an old bachelor to do up to date house
keeping. The ladies are certainly en-
titled to take part in the affairs of
our town and county, they have clear
vision and excellent ideas, and when
it comes to gettin gthings done, the
live, wide awake woman cannot be
beaten. Our hats are off to the ladies
and we do not want them to feel that
we can work for the very best in
terests involved without their help.
We want them to maintain a lively
interest and work with us for the
common good and to feed assured that
their cooperation will be duly appre-
ciated.
The Housewives Cooperative
League of the Chamber, unit of the
Auxiliary has been in existence just
a month, yet great good has come.
Our merchants notice the difference
in deliveries of goods, and the set
tlement of bills, and to these ladies
is mo doubt due the credit for having
a delivery system. The Auxiliary as
abody will be expected to give
erS'ty moral support and coordinate
!, Camp,ything which stands for the
Sergt. Hterests of our people. These
ne Gun. wilisbe directly in charge of the
Corporaf afardens. They will take con-
lnfa az the clean-up and paint-ur
4,as seiNas they win work for civic
fbetterment. investigate families In
need, disseminate information, in short
stimulate every vital interest of the
Chamber. The results of the efforts
being made would fall short Of the
purpose if the people themselves stood
off and permitted some servant of the
public to perform every duty. Ger
tainly as results come those who
have so unselfishly contributed their
brain, time and energy will be hap
pier than if they had taken no part
whatever. The Union Chamber of
Commerce is not out for celebrations,
"hot air." fire works and big noises,
but service, and as their newly adopted
emblem implies, there is service for
all in which the ladies can be of in
estimable benefit. &C."
