Alarm Clock
Reyeille for Hens

| The country has been torn over
daylight saving laws but as yet. the
/ kens have had nothing to say about
working overtime by electric light.
! The newspapers have used sensational
stories about egg production under the
| stimulation of electric light, but be-
. hind these stories there is . real
foundation of facts.
Three hours before daylight every
Emorning last winter the alarm clock
turned on the current, and the hens
turned out to scratch and eat.
|, The result of three extra hours OF
eating and scratching has been NOSE
gratifying when measured by the egg
basket The IA hens and pullets lii
the electrically lighted pen laid 46l
more eggs in the four months begin
hing November 1, 1918 than did the
same number of fowls which slept un
| til daylight came each winter morning
These 461 sold at 70 cents dozen, al
lowing a snug profit after the cost o.
the electric current and the additional
food that had been taken into con-
! sideration.
Cows which give their live weight
in butter in a year are here.

after they are narrowed are every day
occurrences.
Hens laying eggs by electric light
when eggs are scarce is paying
proposition.
What will come next is increased
production.

operation. 1t has been noted in
number OF cases that well-arranged
farms have brought higher price on
the market, particularly where there
is easy access to the fields from build
ings and highways. The Ohio Expert
Fment Station finds that it takes an
average of So work hours to produce
an acre of corn on rectangular fields,
containing 10 to Is acres, while the
time required In irregular fields OF the
same area was 81 hours. Where trac-
tors and large horse-drawn nipple
ments are used, the advantages OF the
| long and regular shaped fields are
very evident. Many farmers are now
draining wet spots, removing trees,
stumps and brush, and Strengthening
| fences SO as to make their farming
operations easier In the olden days
1t didn't matter if it took a few more

present scarcity and cost Of farm
labor it does. Often the land re

'em away" said Sam.
Jim thought lots of Sam He would
have jumped off Lovers leap if Sam
told him to- So he started out of the
window, crawling gingerly along the
edge of the flimsy grape arbor. The
The arbor was made to support grape
vines, not chunky boys weighing 150
pounds. Midways of his journey Jim
broke through and landed on the hot
candy with an awful thud. The girls
thought it was a ghost. Jim got UP
and moved as fast as he could with
pieces Of cany sticking all over him
ard got back to where Sam was await
ing him.
"Say!" he cried; that blamed ar
bor wouldn't hold me up"
Well" drawled Sam, you was
wanting some of the candy anyway;
l guess you got it."
That was Mark Twain's first funny
story. He told it around Hannibal
Mo, but it wasn't until he went out
west that he worked it up into a real
yarn and sent it to some eastern maya
zine for publication When the jump
ing frog story was added to it the
country realized that there was new
humorist on cart.

Scene of Mark
TWain'S First Story

The setting of Mark Twain's first
story was the little back yard of the
tiny dwelling on Hill street, Hannibal,
Mo. The yard is so small that it looks
like couple of horse blankets would
cover it. Between a couple of little
coal and storage houses are the steps
leading to a platform where was the
door to Sans room. II is said this
door was cut and the back steps built
according to the specifications of Mr..
Clemens, whose purpose was to afford
Sam a night entrance in way to avoio
expectations with the somewhat strict
father, Squire Clemens. Sam and Jim
Wolf, printer boy occupied the room
for which such careful preparation
been made for strategic entrance.
Parmelia, Sans sister, was giving a
candy pull one cold night to crowd
of her girl friends. The tiny yard was
sheltered by fragile grape arbor.
When the girls had pulled their candy
sufficiently they laid it out on boards
Under the grape arbor to harden. Sam
and Jim Wolf had not been invited to
the party, and it had not occurred to
any one to send up to them any candy.
While they were lying on their bed
upstairs in garden of Eden costume,
a couple of cats started concert, or
held some sort of a convention on the
back fence. This annoyed Sam and he
told Jim to throw something at them.
jim threw everything he had, but it
seemed to only increase the animated

FIRES PORTLAND POSTMASTER,

FIRES PORTLAND POSTMASTER.
Postmaster General Burleson has de-
manded the resignation of Frank S
Myers, postmaster at Portland Ore
Myers has been instructed to surrend-
er the office Saturday evening, Jan
uary 81, and turn it over to a postal
inspector The resignation of Harry
Durand, assistant postmaster at Port
land, has also been demanded at the
same time. Both officials will ''step
down and OUT Saturday evening.
The action of Postmaster General
Burleson meets with general approval
from the patrons of the Portland post
office and the democrats of Portland
Many have expressed a preference for
having republican appointed rather
than to permit Myers to continue in
office
The civil service theory is all right
but even in civil service postmaster
can be removed for cause and it seems
that there has been abundant cause
for the removal of the Portland post
master. This will be encouraging
news to those who had begun to fear
that civil service means that an Of
ficer cannot be pried loose from an
Office for any reason.

WHY SUNDAY SCHOOL DECREASE?

WHY SUNDAY SCHOOL DECREASE?
The Portland Oregonian calls at
tention to the announcement in the
"Year Book" of Protestant churches,
that there has been an alarming de-
crease in Sunday school attendance.
The announcement of the year Book"
gives the startling information that
the attendance at Sunday schools has
decreased in the United States $780,
600. The Oregonian says:
''Decline of Sunday school member
ship not only actually more than off
sets increase in church membership,
but it is still greater in proportion to
numbers. The Year Book estimates
that decrease in Sunday school mem
bership has been more than 100000.
The United States census bureau made
a count of these young people as of
January 1, 1917, and found that there
were 1851 ,675 of them. The de-
crease is about 17.5 per cent in the
years in which the population of the
country has increased by about 3 per
cent. Only to have kept pace with
population increase, a gain of 500, 900
members was required. This net loss
of 4, 900 in Sunday school member |
ship, unless something is done about |
it will be reflected in the statistics of |
adult membership a decade or TWO
hence.
