Mr.. Lonsdale, the president-elect of
the National bank division of the
bankers organization. in an address
before the Los Angeles convention
said: I'm my opinion, the one big
problem remaining to be settled IS
that of taxation. Once this is light
ened, then any restrictions on indus
try will be lifted and we will see old
fashioned boom days" If the speaker
be right, and there is much reason to
believe that he is, responsibility for n
continuation of existing conditions
rests squarely on congress. That body
that been in session several months
and seems little nearer the enactment
of tax bill than it was when first
called together by the president. The
house passed a bill which its members
knew to be unsatisfactory to the coun-
try and to the senate. The senate
could hardly be farther than it is from
an agreement.

Worries highest Paid Woman Writes,
Why We Lie.

A young chap was going into heroics
because he thought his fiancee had
deceived him in some small matter.
For heavens sake, son. said his
enough to make yourself miserable
over nothing. OF course she deceived
you. I deceive you. Your sisters de-
ceive you, all women deceive all men.
We begin by fooling you about the
cookie jar when you are little boy,
and we end by fooling you about the
bills when you are married man.
No man will stand for the truth from
women. AS long as you live women
will lie to you. Get used to it,
All of which is one of the most -eyni-
cal facts in the world, for while every
man will tell you that there is no
other virtue that he admires and re-
spects SO much in a woman as truth
fulness, every woman knows that We
racious Jane is slated to spend her
latter years in the Old Maids Home.
1t is often urged as a criticism of
women that they are less truthful
than men, more given to subterfuges
and the telling of tarradiddles. Prob
ably this is the case, because the
whole training of the sex, since the
very beginning of time, has been in
the art of side-stepping.
Until within the last ten years
women were absolutely dependent on
the whims of men. Everything they
had was the gift of some mans hand
and had to be wheedled out of father,
or brother or husband, or lover. A
woman's whole well-being depended
on the pleasure of her lord and mas
ter. and the kind of mood she kept
him in.
1t is impossible that this state of af-
fairs should develop candor and
frankness in the female character.
1t probably wasn't 10 o'clock in the
morning of her first day in the garden
of Eden before Eve discovered that

branch, was to tell him what a won

GOOD FARM BUREAU POlL
TRY MEETING IN ASKOV

The Pine County Farm Bnreau
held it's monthly meeting in the
ASkov community Monday. the
2lst Of Feb. The Town hall was
almost filled with men and
women. This was a special poul-
try meeting. and our old friend.
Mr.. Chapman. the poultry ex-
pert was with us. Mr., Chapman
was in Askov in 1908 when he
delivered his maiden lee
ture on poultry just then en-
gagged by the Agricultural-Exten-
sion Division for Farm Institute
work. For period after that
meeting Askov was on the verge
Of making name for itself in
the poultry world by the ship
ping of guaranteed eggs in car
toons which brought premium
above top market quotations.
Askov was frequently referred
TO in these days as an example
IN cooperative marketing of
farm products, Barnum holding
second place then. However,
somehow we did not nurse that
baby right in the long run. and
it was left to starve and die:
Barnum took the lead and is
famous today in the poultry
world all over the U. S. for its
production of quality. and mar
keting in quantity. getting an
average of 50 cents a dozen
above what eggs generally are
bringing farmers in neighborins

ence spellbound for more than
three hours. | shall not try to

to hear him to do him and his
topic justice. Too bad the high
school boys and girls or the larg.
err boys and girls could not be
trusted to attend the meeting
There certainly was presented
something practical that might
have benefited a large number
of them in the future. Are we
willing to have our boys and

farm. or do we desire to make

The meeting elected Theo. Jen-
sen as a special committee man
for poultry. Mr.. Jensen is the
most successful poultry man in
this community having deVel-
oped very high producing
strain of White Leghorns.
To make poultry a success 1T
must be a community affair, CO.
operating to make it business.
The next meeting will be the
third Monday in March. The
program will be announced later.
1t was suggested that part of the
next meeting also be devoted to
poultry so as to keep pace with
the sentiment. and perhaps or
.ganize a cooperative egg ship
ping association. thereby taking
up the lost trail where we left
it IL years ago.
The next meeting for home
makers in the farm bureau in
Askov will be March 10. Miss
Bull delivered a very interesting
lecture on that subject the 10th
of this month and will be here
for six lectures in all if the at
tendance will warrant. Mrs.

for that branch of the farm bu-
reau work in Askov.

The County Agent brought
three hens which Mr.. Chapman
handled and explained the good
and the poor points. He ex-
planned how anyone could tell
the age and egg LAYING capacity

eggs a hen had already laid and
how many she was able to pro-
duce If he were kept comfort

least ] could not follow and re-
member half the points, SO we
shall try to have that repeated
at one or several meetings la
ter on. This is a very import
ant factor in poultry business.
Other important factors are
plenty Of pure, fresh air and wa
ter. a good mixture of food
about equal parts of corn. oats,
bran. shorts and beef scraps or
some Of the guaranteed CONNER
cial mixtures of poultry food.
Give them a light feed in the
morning so they will keep
scratching all day for all they
are worth after the crscked
grain in the fresh straw on the
floor. It takes 5000 scratches
said Mr. Chapman to produce an
erg and it takes about 5000
feathers to clothe hen comfort
ably. Besides the above the hens
must have all they will consume
of sharp grit. oyster shell and
green food. In the winter cab
bage or rutabagas would do
nicely.
Mr. Chapman said that CARE

poultry business. the same. as in
any other AGRICULTURAL business.
The word care divided in four
parts as follows: comfort. air.

REAG|NS DEATH
REMAINS MYSTERY
.CORONER'S JURY RENDERS YER
DICT THAT MAN CAME 10
.DEATHAIAANDS OF PARTIES
UNKNOWN-SHERIFF STILL
FOLLOWING CLUES

Conyers, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE ver-
dict of the coroner's jury finding that
Mr.. Charles E. Reagan, president OF
the Rockdale bank, whose body was
found in the Yellow river. last Friday
morning, "came to his death at the
hands of party of parties unknown
to u.s." leaves the murder more COM
pletely in mystery than ever. Every
person who was thought possibly to
have had any connection with the
slaying of the, banker has been close
lyaquestioned, and no material clues
have been developed.
The last witness before the cor
oner's jury was Joshua Pressly,
who was arrested Sunday afternoon
after considerable search on the part
OF the officres on the case. 1t was
thought possible that he had some
connection with the case because he
previously had had some trouble
with Mr.. Reagan. While no informa-
hon was given out concerning the
testimony given before the; jury, it is
reliably reported that the negro was
able. to establish an alibi.
The sheriff and other officers are
busily engaged running down all pos
sible clues in the case. It is said to
5e the theory of one of the officers
that if a negro or negroes killed Mr..
Reagan, some white person or per-
sons either assisted or directed the
guilty person or persons.
When Mr.. Reagan did not return
from his farms across the river last
Thursday night, search resulted in
finding his automobile on the bridge
over the Yellow river with the lights
burning and the engine running
His body was found tangled in trot
fne the next morning.
