Haverhill was the one arena Of all
the toll and enterprise Of the younger
man. He became a member OF the
Union and Harvard clubs at Boston
and returned to Cambridge to coach its
oarsmen for the races Of 1890 and
1891. but Haverhill was both his active
world and his only home.
A novel could be written around the
life of this mana novel of an Ameri-
can who, while hardly typical. ought
to be. Selectman Of his village was the
first office he held. In all he served
sixteen years as such. and at his last
election was given every vote that was
cast
First was Democrat.
In the meantime he had been sent
to the lower house of the Legislature
and then to the State Senate. Back in
those days he was a Democrat at first
and then a Republican. Old Henry

The General Assembly Of New Hamp-
shire passed local option law In 1903.
Henry Wilder Reyes was appointed a
member Of the License Commission to
enforce the act. He served ten years
in that ONCE, part Of the time treasurer
and part of the time as chairman, and
his conduct satisfied both the "wets'

Last year he was chosen to be a
Senator. On the wall of his office In
Washington hangs his certificate Of
election. II is signed by himself as
Governor and is the first instance OF
the kind that has occurred In New
Hampshire for a hundred years.
Accordingly, Henry Wilder Keyes
became the successor of such men as
John Langdon, jeremiah Mason. Lev
W oodbury, Franklin Pierce and Johr
p. Hale, candidate of the Free Sol
party in 1852 for President of the
United States. 1t was John Langdon

indeed, were orn>into poverty and

others are not. A few were rich mems

honors lie with them.
Moving over the river and onto his
estate. Henry Wilder Reyes, a Har-
ward man, finished by a year of travel
abroad, took up the duties that were
nearest to his hand. New Hampshire
had become his State and Haverhill
his town.
With Daniel Webster he could have
said: "My father was a farmer and !

accusations flew so fast and furiously
around the heads of our two officers
that we soon had the complete story
as follows:
Cruising along the French coast was
a German submarine whose duty 1t
was to gather the information picked
up by the various spies and to take 1t
direct to Germany. When these
women received word Of the expected
arrival or sailing of a convoy, they
would signal the news to the house on
the other side OF the bay, and this
house would pass 1t on to the cot
tage on the point; from here they
would pass It to the submarine, which,
in turn, would wireless It to some sub
marine in the neighborhood. II, how
ever, they had what was classed as
general information, they would send
a different kind of message and then
the next day would go out in the boat
and drop the message overheard in a
small bottle which was weighted so II
would sink. but which had a small
float attached. This bottle was always
dropped in a certain place.

The supposed Belgian would then
come out in his boat. pick UP the bot.

cottage that he had a message to pass
on to Germany. He would next take

the time the people there were in bath

Electric light laid eggs used to be
considered joke. But it isn't. It's
a cold scientific fact.
Waking up hen by turning on
electric lights-and keeping her on
the job during all the short winter
day and part of the nights the
trick.
Trumbull Cary, who manages the
White Leghorn Laboratory at Hem
pstead, Long Island, experiment
ed along those lines. Not content,
however, with the results he was
getting he sought advice from Prof
essor |. E. Rice Of the Department
of Poultry, Cornell University.
Said the professor to poultry keep
ers whose hens are wasting time so
many hours out of the "a these short
days:
The purpose of illumination is to
give a II to l4-hour working day.
This means greater food con-
sumption and greater activity on the
part of the birds, with the result
that they lay more eggs at a time
when prices are high,
do not get the hens up at 3 a. m.
and then leave the mash hoppers
closed until noon. Give them a
chance to eat.
Some provision should be made
to keep water from freezing.
'1f more convenient, lights may
be used from dusk until 9 p. m,
but make provision for dimming the
fights for 10 TO Is minutes, so that
the birds will stop working and can
find their way to the roost.
Feed cracked rather than whole
corn"
Painting the inside Of house
white will make ii possible to use
smaller lamps and thus reduce the
cost Of electricity.
'In an ordinary hen house with
out white walls a rough rule is II
supply one candle power of light TO
each five or six square feet of floo
space.
"Do not use illumination on breed
