Condition Of Eggs Previous to Hatch.
ing Is More Apt Than ineuba-
ton to Be Cause. !

Poor matches are common with poul.
trymen, but what causes them is
much discussed question. The answer
depends on great variety Of circum.
stances. The condition Of the eggs
previous to Matching Is more apt thun
the incubation to be the cause, al
though improper handling in either
case will produce the same results.
says the United States department of
agriculture. When eggs fail to hatch,
first see whether the breeding stock
Is kept under conditions which tend
to produce strong, fertile germs In
the eggs; next, whether the eggs have
been handled properly before incuba-
ton; and lastly, whether the condi-
tons were right during incubation.
When an incubator is used daily
temperature record should be kept of
each machine. The operator can then
compare the temperature at which
the machines have been maintained.
This may prove Of value in the flu.
ture, especially If the broodcr records
can be checked back against those of
the incubator.

Proposes Tar on Farm Bonds

Washington.-Withdrawal Of the tax
exemption provision from farm loan
bonds issued in the future BY joint
stock land banks has been recommend
ed to congress by Secretary Houston
on the ground that these banks are
organizations OF private capital for
commercial purposes in which the pro-
fits accrue to the benefit Of the In
yesting stockholders.
Tax exemptions in the case OF joint
stock land banks we're declared by the
secretary to amount to a gift at the
expense OF the government and tax
payers generally. The privilege, ne
said. should not oe Continued with re.

treasury cannot afford to dispense

The withdrawal Of the tax exemp-

suggested, should be accompanied by

urge that no legislation be enacted
which would lay an additional bur.
den on the nations finances.
The estimate was accompanied by
figures showing the cost OF carrying
out any one OF the five optional pro
visions OF the bonus bill provided all
former service men chose a single
plan. The figures for the various
plans ranged from s1,342,ooo.OO0 for

The maximum possible cost Of tbs
vocational training aid and the farm

uncertainties that 1t was impossible
to estimate the possible expenditure.

ROYAL NILES. ATHLETE, HAS
PLAYED HIS LAST BIG GAME

Royal +. cTubby") Niles died
Sunday night, Dec. 26. at the home
Of a brother In Oregon City. from tu-
berculosis due 10 exposure at Brest,
France, while serving overseas. He
was widely known ~ one Of the gam
est and greatest fullbaeks who ever
played football in the Pacific North
west. While playing for Whitman
college he made the All-Northwest
eleven four successive seasons, once
as its captain. He weighed in those
days between 1855 and 100 pounds,
and was a marvel Of strength and
agility, but consumption reduced him
10 a shadow. After contracting in
fiuenza on the transport taking him
TO France, he slept with his comrades
in the mud Of the Brest camp until
hopelessly invalided. Some sixteen
years ago Royal Niles and his broth
er Eugene Shorty played football
on the best team ever developed at
the old Weston Normal, which once
Whitman itself was barely able to
defeat by the close score Of 6 to 0.
They were both topnotch baseball
players also. After his graduation
from Whitman, Royal became an edu-
Gator Of considerable prominence. He
was a young man of high character
and promise. His father, the late A.
B. Niles, was a we'll known business
man Of Walla Walla in early years.
