EXPERIMENT PROVES LIGHTS WILL INCREASE
 EGG PRODUCTION

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 28.-Electrie lights in the coops to lengthen the working day for the chickens wlll in crease egg production, an experiment now under way at Purdue University has shown. The lights are turned on at 6 o'clock in the morning and kept burning until z o'clock. In the even- ing the lights go from o'clock to 5 o'clock. Observation has shown that the fowls wake up earlier when the lights are on, and stay off the roosts later in the evening. They get more exercise, eat more, and hence lay more eggs than birds which are not fooled.
 Two pens of 35 white leghorns each were used in the experiment starting November |. The hens were bullets laying about the same number of eggs at the time. During November those in the lighted pen laid 446 eggs and those in the unlighted coop laid 356 eggs. Figuring the eggs at SIX cents each, which was less than the market value at the time, the bullets in the lighted building produced $5.4O more than the others. The electricity cost cents day, the total for the month being $1.8O, leaving net profit of $3.60.
 In December the difference was more marked The bullets which were "fooled" laid 59s eggs, and the oth- CTS 490 eggs.
 Ut took seven days for the light to begin to show an influence, but the lights matured the bullets two weeks earlier" said Prof. A. G. Philips, head of the poultry deI lrtment. "The other evening I was out at the farm and at o'clock those in the lighted pen were scratching in the light for grain while those in the dark pens had been on the roost for

OMAHA MAN SAYS IT WAS LUCKY DAY
 WHEN HE FOUND TT.
Union Pacific Fireman Declares Tanlac Restored His Health Work Is Easy for Him Now He Says.

Nothing but real medicine could do what Tanlac has done for me, and that's why Pm always glad to tell others about it" said Ira w. Polsley, 2033 Elm street, Omaha, Nebraska, recently. Mr. Polsley is fireman for the Union Pacific and is well-known in railroad circles.
 Eve always been strong and well, :" he continued, until about six months ago, when began to feel my system getting out of fix and my health slip ping away from me. My appetite got poor and what little ate didn't give me nourishment, my liver was slug gish and had no energy or ambition. I weighed one hundred and forty when my trouble started, but it was not long before I had lost several pounds and was going down hill and feeling more tired and wornout all the time. I don't know just what did ail me, but whatever it was it made me miserable and unfit for work.
 An engineer friend of mine told me how this Tanlac had helped him and advised me to try it and l did. The first few doses made big differ ence in my feelings, and it soon be- gan to prove to be just what l needed My appetite soon came back and l could eat anything set before me and enjoy it. When finished the third bottle, I was not only restored to health but I had actually gained ten pounds besides, and now I'm even heavier than I was when my trouble first begun. Tanlac certainly is wonderful and it was lucky day for me when found it."
 Tanlac is sold by druggists in New port.

 ''The 'possum grinned
 The presentation speech was made by Representative Ewell of Saline county, who introduced MT. Dunaway md his 'possum to the house, in the order named, reading from left to right, as it were. Both smiled ex- pansively.
 It was very valuable possum, MT. Dunaway told friends, after he had got rid of it, although still a pup. MT. Dunaway calls all young pos Sums "pups." He calls young coons skittens." There is no real justifica- Sion for this nomenclature in natural history, for, in fact, what most peo- pie call 'possums, old or young is not proper for publication. However, MT. Dunaway, being literary man, jus titles his usage on the grounds of rhetoric. aPossum pup and coon kitten make very pleasing allitera- lions. This is the only pleasing fea- ture attending the 'possum.
 The 'possum presented to Speaker Newton accrued to MT. Dunaway in the customary manner, to-wit; through "dicker." MT. Dunaway traded to Lives of Jeff Davis, six bee gums, goat and a cotton sack to the party of of the second part, re- ceiving in consideration a fish pond settin' of dominicker eggs and the ,possum in question, which is the hevn of this story.
 Mr. Newton accepted the present without batting an eye.

Laney, negro, alleged slayer of sew

the authorship of the letters and
claims he found them.
The author of the letter refers to
himself as the IS. S. of the United
States" taken by the police the mean
sharp shooter. The letter to the Gov

Dear Sir: You are the governor
of the state of Georgia, and want you
to consider that the negro was draft

this country as the white man, and
want you to understand that this thing
of lynching in the state of Georgia
must be cut out.

your rights, and we can also kill
Americans for our rights, and if hear
any more of lynching in the state of
Georgia l will come quickly and the
people will weep after leave, because
sweep from the cradle up. I Will
remember you this time. Why did
you let this man be lynched in May?"
In the letter to the Governor of
Mississippi, the writer repeats the
part the negroes played in the war
and what they will do for their rights
and concludes:
"Sir: This thing of lynching ne

LACK OF EXPERIENCE
HURTS TOBACCO PRICE

Waycross, July 2S.-Several farm
ers in this section have been heard to
complain of the prices their tobacco
is bringing this year. Just what the
reason is they are unable to see, but
a little inquiry reveals the fact that
there are few complaints among the
farmers who had experienced men
to cure their tobacco for them.
1t is a known fact that poor grade
of tobacco in the field cannot be
made a good grade in the barn, and
good grade in the field can be ruin
ed in five minutes in the barn unless
the proper methods of curing are APP
piled. Several farmers report sales
of sand Tugs at 90 and 25 cents, which
is most satisfactory price.
Authenticated tacKs should be used
