CHOOSING THE
BREEDING MALE BIRD

The most certain method of improv-
ing egg production through breeding
is to use only males which are the
sons of known high producers. Males
from hens which have laid more than
two hundred eggs in one year are of
special value in transmitting the high
producing character to the pullets.
Since the male furnishes half of the
blood for the flock, much care should
be used in choosing him. Farm poul-
try keepers can afford to pay a good
price for a vigorous male from
heavy-laying strain. Unfortunately,
not nearly enough males from trap
nestled stock are available to supply
the demand for such birds.

STATEMENT BY MIR. HOOVER


On February Ia Herbert Hoover
made public the following letter to his
friend, Casper w. Hodgson, of Yonk-
ers, New York:
have noted your feeling that |
should answer some of the solemn dis
courses on my private life and crimes.
! do seem to get into the way of po-
litically-minded folks even when try
ing to keep out of politics.
Some things that have been said of
me cause me sense of financial over
sight. For instance, have made care
full inquiries and / regret that so far
/ cannot find:
(A) The $10,000000 am said to
have made in my early youth or even
middle age, or altogether, or any re-
spectacle part of it.
(B) The investments am supposed
to have in Great Britain.
Like the negro porter who was
asked to change. SO, l am grateful
for the compliment. am sorry that
these sums do not exist, for they
would be useful for the Children's Re-
| lief.
/ have also given deep consideration
to the other items mentioned:
(A) Am / British subject? Did
! ever apply for such citizenship? No.
Many generations of prosecuted Quak-
err ancestors would rise in their grave
at such discovery. They should re-
main quiet, however, for no Califor-
man could live three months in Lon
don climate and become a British cit
izen if he knew it. One thing that re-
assures me that this did not happen
without my knowledge is that the
British refused to allow me to come
into their island during the war with
out an American passport. Also,
feel that my accent was disinfected Of
any English, French, Chinese, Rus
sian, or other taints, by my presence
in the United States portion of ev-
cry calendar year of my life-except
three-even including the five in
which that United States exercised its
right to draft my services, good por-
ton abroad.
OBJ Did | ever rent a residence
abroad? / plead guilty of this crime,
but in mitigation | do appeal to the
feelings of fathers who object to no.

THE PASSING THRONG

Some one handed me folder one day this
week which was issued by Ed. T. Conan,
candidate for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination, and here are some Of the pertin-
ent points thereof
Agriculture is the foundation of our ma
tional greatness and we should encourage and
foster the development of improved farming
methods and devote our time, energy and
money to aiding the farmer in working out
his marketing problems so that the producer
will receive farer share Of what the con-
sumner pays We must conserve the great
natural resources of our soil and reclaim the
thousands of unimproved acres lying within
our borders
Education is the surest guaranty of good
government Educate the youth of today
along the right lines and we need have no
fear for the government of tomorrow. If the
present school revenues were raised on some
uniform plan and the proceeds equitably dis
tributed in accordance with the needs, the
schools can be properly supported without
materially increasing the burdens OF the

Rev. D. A. Graham closes his PASTORAL
work here next Sunday evening and will
leave for the Puget Sound Annual Confer
ence which convenes in Tacoma next Thurs
day. one day next week Of course Rev.
Graham may be returned, but all Methodist
preachers close their work, where they are
located, when they leave for the Annual Con-
ference He has been stationed in Seattle
for the past four years and it can be said
without fear of successful contradiction that
those have been four years of prosperity for
the church. He has paid it's debts, increased
it's membership and has given it standing
in the community such as it has never before
enjoyed I understand that there is prob
ability of the Rev. Graham taking up gen
eral conference work and thereby retire from
PASTORAL duties If he does and is as Sue

cessful in his new fields Of labor as he has
been in his PASTORAL labors, what will be the
pulpit loss will be the everlasting gain of
the General Conference. If he makes the
change he will leave congregation with
hearts full and overlooking for his success,
but if change he does not make, not only
his congregation, but the entire community
will receive him back with open arms.
If what I am going to relate ever hap
pens then, believe me, something new under
the sum- will have happened. The other day
Chauncey W. Jamison introduced me to Ed
ward Smith of Chicago, who was looking over
Seattle with the view of locating here and,
perhaps 90 into the wood and coal business.
I had not talked to Mr.. Smih very long
before I learned that he is policeman IN
Chicago, but is on leave Of absence, which
he will extend indefinitely, if things look
good to him in Seattle Now what manner
of policemen do they have in Chicago that
would even contemplate giving up posi-
ton on the police force to go into business

taxpayer. Inequalities can only
be corrected by the abolition OF
local district lines insofar as the
raising of revenue and distribu-
ton of support is concerned.
Fisheries-Our great fishing IN
dustry must be fostered and en-
couraged. We must safeguard it
with proper regulations in order
that our supply may not be dlssl-
pated. Aliens mus not be per-
mitted to gain control of even
small part of this industry, and
laws designed to prevent this
should be rigidly enforced.
The Carlyon Plan, which pro-
poses to bond this state for $780,
100000 and entailing a further
obligation of $12,OOO,OOO for inter-
est, should not pass. 1t is unwise
to obligate ourselves beyond our
visible resources for the mere pur-
pose of Fastening by few years
the completion of our highway
program. The pay-as-y ou-go policy
so far followed in road construc-
ton in this state should be con-
tinued.
State G0uernment-The all too
numerous departments Of our state
government under the present sys-
tenn should be coordinated; re-
sponsibility should be centered in
individuals instead Of commissions
and boards. The success of such
departure in the administration
of state affairs depends largely
upon the business ability of the
Governor and his capacity to Sc
lect men fitted for these positions.
Tares have almost reached the
point of confscation Our tax laws
must be so revised that equality
will attach to every form Of prop'
in our boundaries. Much of the
which is now free from taxation
made to bear it's just share of gov
expense. The remedy is in econom
lie administration.

They have no pep, they've lost their
grip, they simply SIT around and
Zip, in envy's tones, at Glossyvllle'

Shabbytown is punk and gray, and
it shows symptoms of decay, and
strangers passing through remark,
lit surely dates back to the Ark"
"Clean Up and Brush Up" makes
men frown along the street OF
Shabbytown. A can of paint makes
no appeal to this bum village, down
at heel; the people think there is no
sense in going to SO much expense;
so things are always going down,
and getting worse in Shabbytown,
1t always gives my soul a thrill
when | arrive 10 Glossyville. The
town looks like a blooming bride;
the people take a heavy pride In
making things look clear and bright,
and in their labors take delight.
They're lavish with the helpful paint,
selecting colors chaste or quaint, and
decorating every shack; thus warding
off decays attack, and making all
the buildings look like buildings read
of in a book. And strangers when
they see the town, say, "Here we'll
come and settle down and raise up
mine, as slick as grease" his hap
py burg goes right ahead while Shah
