Let's see if this is so small a bust

The Country Gentleman of April
9th contains an illuminating article
on poultry-raising in Salt Lake Val
lev, Utah-not as good a place FOL
the business as South Carolina IS
Here are two cases reported by the
writer of the article:
"a railway mail clerk and his
wife built themselves a home in
the suburbs Of Salt Lake City
and on an acre or two of ground
and with a flock Of a thousand
chickens, the wife is making
more money than the husband"
"a mining NJ and his wife
who have been in the business
for several years, the wife being
the active partner, with a flock
of from one to two thousand
hens, have been making a good
living and a profit on four acres
within the corporate limits of
Salt Lake City. Many with less
ground-even on two or three
acres-are building their homes
and poultry houses, the husband
holding a job while his wife, or
other members of the family
take care Of the poultry"
The mining man says "here is a
profit in the poultry BUSINESS if it is
properly handled and n car buy
the right kind Of feed. We have kept
some years 1900. hens and ovhe,
years 1000 and we figure We can
clear up two dollars a hen in normal
times"
We quote further from The Coun-
try Gentleman:
"Some thirty miles south Of
Salt Lake City, in the vicinity Of
the town of American Fork,
there is probably more activity
in the poultry line than in any
other part of the state. This &C.
tivity is largely credited to the
enterprise Of n man. In that
small country town last year
there we're sold $125,O00 worth
of eggs, to say nothing of poul-
try sold and nothing of the eggs
and poultry consumed at home.
Last spring an army Of 10000
Petaluma, California chicks in
vaded American Fork, having
been purchased by poultry
keepers there. This will mean a
considerable addition to the hen
population. There We're about
$4,000 hens within a radius Of
six miles of American Fork last
year.
"Mr. R. L. Ashby, an archi-
tect, was teaching mechanic art
in the local high school when he
became interested in poultry
keeping.
at was first a fad Of Mrs.
Ashby's, he said and we began :
keeping a few chickens in the
back yard, increasing the flock
each year until I became enough
interested in the fad myself to
resign my position at the high
school a year ago and give it my
whole attention. Our start was
with a hundred hens six years
ago and the number has increas-
ed each year until it reached
4,20O hens in the fall of
1922"
"Mr. Ashby didn't care to talk
about profits for publication but
did say, we are raising a fami-
ly of eight children and I sue
coed in paying an income tax
Those who like to figure and
who know how to make out an
income tax report can tell what
net income or profit he would
have to make with a wife and
eight ch~ildren,to get into the
income tax paying class"
So chicken farming is not Sc

farmers in South Carolina, with the

The Chicken business" is not to
be laughed at by any means. There
are many ways of making a good

too-besides raising cotton. and
this is one of them. The farmers of
this state, the young men particular

HOPE HELD OUT
FOR settlement.
Of COAL STRIKE
Senator Pepper Makes a
Proposal Which May Re-
suit in Ending Walkout
in Anthracite Fields. :

Washington, Aug. "a pro-
posal that the strike in the an
thracite coal fields be settled inn
mediately on the basis of the
wage scales in effect last April
was advanced through Senator
Pepper of Pennsylvania tonight
at a conference of representa-
tives of operators and mine union
officials. Some of those partici-
pating in the conference ex-
pressed belief that the proposal
offered hoped of ending the long
continued. suspension in the hard
coal fields.
Under the proposal, the con-
troversial issue of arbitration as
means of reaching agreement
on wages would be set entirely
aside, and the only important
question to be decided would be
that of how long the compromise
would be effective. -
Senator Pepper and his asso-
ciate from Pennsylvania, Senator
Reed, who also participated In
the preliminary conference, left
the meeting after the proposal
had been laid before the oppos-
ing delegations. Mr.. Pepper ex-
pressed the opinion that the op-
orators, who have insisted on ar
bitration, might easily retire on
this issue. since there was every
prospect that a federal commits
sion soon would be set up to in
vestigate the entire mining indus
try and would serve the same
purpose as the proposed arbitral
tribunal.

OWENS DECISION TO a
AFFECT SALARIES OF
THE SCHOOL TEACHERS
Special to The Journal.

Santa Fe, Aug. 20. - The
tax commission will follow District
Judge Harry P. owens decision
in regard to teachers pay, J. f.
Saint, tax commission chairman,
stated when the commission took
up the Torrance county school
budget. ..
Under this decision the highest
pay that can be given a teacher in
a one, two or three-room rural
school is $110 a month for nine
months.
The Torrance county budget was
the third to be taken up and the
only one so far to provide for more
than $110 and the only one to make
provision for a bigger expenditure
than last years, with the $4,000
increase over last years budget and
a maximum salary of $120 for
rural teachers, but with Mr.. Saints
statement of the commission pol
icy it appeared this would be cut
down to $40 if not lower.
&. VI. Milbourn, chairman of the
board of commissioners of Tor
rance, suggested 10 per cent cut
in teachers pay in his county and
cutting the school term to seven
months.
The Roosevelt county budget
showed a $28.000 cut under last
years with an $50 maximum for
teachers pay and the Quay county
budget a $4,000 cut under last
years with a 500 maximum for
teachers pay and the commission
approved both with the statement.
however, it might reconsider the
Quay county budget.

Jackson, calf, Aug. 29.-Rescue
crews, working in six-hour shifts

work, are clearing out tonight o
caved-in tunnel leading from the
Kennedy to the Argonaut mine in
the hope of rescuing forty-seVen
miners trapped by a fire In the
main Argonaut shaft. 1t is expect
ed that the work will take two
more days at least, but, according
to state and government experts on
the scene, it appears to hold out
the only hope for the imprisoned
men.
The rescuers have figured that
the tunnel will come below the
lowest fire level in the Argonaut'
Tests for gases are being made as
they dig their way along, In order
that they shall not be overcome by

crew goes off the shift it is brought
back from near exhaustion by tire

established quarters in the mine

Hope for rescuing the men
through the main shaft was
abandoned when it was determined
that the fire was gaining despite

troll. The tearing out of consider
able timbering at the $500 foot
level did not seem to impede the
flames to any great extent, accord

fire was licking its way toward the
shaft collar tonight, driving the
fighting crews upward inch by

An appliance for detecting any

by the entombed miners, II they
are still alive, was to be put into
