1t is fact well known among poul-
try fanciers that hen dislikes to be
immersed in cold water and will go
great lengths to avoid a ducking. We
have had much experience with chick
ems and have dealt with many re-
sourceful hens. but were not prepared
for the evidence of intelligence and
wit exhibited by one of our fowls
yesterday. For several days she had
been showing a strong inclination to
set, which was against our wishes, SO
we instructed our small son to give
her cooling bath in a tub of rain
water that sat under the caves. The
lad gathered the hen up in his arms
and started for the tub. She knew
from experience what was coming
Of, and why. She viewed the sitla-
ton with alarm for moment and
then, knowing that something must
bed one. and done quickly, she laid an
egg, which dropped about three feet
and landed safely i'm the sand. Thus,
by rare presence Of mind, she avoid
ed an unpleasant experience, as we
make it a rule never TO duck a laying
hen Tarpon Springs Leader.
That story Of yours, pardner,
shows development of intellect in the
henor in you.

Riley Posts $500
 to Prove Faith
 in Essex Record

Hicks Riley of the Hicks Riley Motor company yesterday evening deposited with the Graphic $500 in cash to show he is in earnest in his challenge that no automobile in Pine Bluff can run to Monticello under it's own power in not to exceed seven hours-the time in which the trip was made by MT. Riley in an Essex runabout-under weather and road conditions as existed Thursday January 22, when the Essex made it's journey, and with no more equip ment.
 Mir. Riley posted $500 in cash when it was reported that k. E. Owens would accept the challenge to beat the record of the Essex.
 "We know that the remarkable performance of the Essex thru the rain and over the almost impossible roads cannot be surprised" said MT Riley. "lf Mir. Owens thinks he has car that will run under it's own power, and with no more equipment than carried by the Essex, in not to exceed seven hours, with roads and weather as there were Thursday morning, let him put up his $500 and go to it. We doubt that there is any but a Hudson-made car that car even equal the power, endur ance and speed record of the Els. sex"
 If MT. Riley's challenge is ac cepted, it is expected the attempt tt 1 beat the Essex record will be made today or tomorrow, as the printed letter of the acceptor stated "Wt will start within "A hours" from tho time MT. Riley advised of recog milton of the acceptance of the chal l lence.

Declares Turkish
 Cabinet Favored Warning With Allies

Constantinople, Jan. 23.-Turkey entered the war on Germany's side after the cabinet had decided to join the allies, according to statements before secret parliamentary com mittee published by the newspapers. The machintions of the war party, led by Enver Pasha. were responsible for the change of front.
 When the war broke out, the majority of the Turkish cabinet was friendly to the entente. The war party, however, began attempts to persuade a sufficient number of ministers that Turkey should acquire the German cruiser Coeben to take the place of Turkish ships which had been requisitioned by England. Objection was made that the Goe- ben, which arrived here in August, 1914, after fleeing from allied war ships in the Mediterranean would attack Russian vessels while under Turkish colors, but Eaver Pasha de- clared the commander fthe cruiser had pledged himself not to make any such attack. In reply to this assurance, Djavid Bey, then finance
 
 minister, remarked that the admiral would be more likely to stand by l his word than the German war lord. l Decision was reached by the cabinet to oppose Germany in the war and it was agreed that when Turkey took her stand on the, side of the entente, the Goeben and her sister ship, the Breslau, should be bonn barded by the Bosphorus forts. Enver Pasha, however, made secret arrangements with the Germans and the Goeben joine dthe Black Sea fleet even the grand vizier being kept in ignorance of this move. On August 29, 1914, the Goeben while flying the Turkish flag attacked and destroyed two Russian ships. This act brought about Turkeys alignment against the entente, and several members of the cabinet resigned. The facts were misrepresented by the censors and the Turkish public, even the sultan believed for several years that the Russians attacked the Turks.
