JASPER FARME
HEAR PLANS FOR

V. r. Francis Tells Farmers
Plan for Cooperative
Chicken Market
BY Special Staff Correspondent

JASPER, Nov. 20.-One of the most
interesting meetings ever held by the
Farm Center of this district was held
at the school house Friday night, when
fully 80 persons were present and par
ticipatcd in the meeting whole-hcarted
w and interestingly
A short program of literary nature
was offered and accepted with pleasure
: Among the first of the speakers was
w. Il. Francis, of the Francis drug
store, FL Centro, who told the gather
ing of the cooperative plan of hand
ling and marketing poultry and eggs
He explained that, during the last year,
poultry and egg raisers of the valley
had been short changed at least IL
cents per dozen on every dozen eggs
sent out of the valley, and that where
a cooperative organization of market
ing had been perfected, ranchers had
realized u great deal more profit than
| from helter-sk terimarketing on an in
dividual basis, such as now exists in
the Imperial Valley. lie further stated
that, he has talked with al least 80 Of
the leading poultry raisers of the coun-
| ty, and that his suggestion for the es-
tablishment of Il cooperative poultry
| ASSOCIATION was meeting with favor ON
every side.
An interesting discussion followed
| the suggestions of Mr.. Francis, and
many questions were asked of him,
| which he answered very satisfactorily.
Mr.. Osborne, ranchcr living be
tween FL Centre and Imperial, was the
next speaker, and he gave Il talk on
his experiences in the poultry business
in the Imperial Valley, which, he stat
ed, had proved Il very profitable ven.
! turc for him, and that he was enarg
! ing as fast as possible. He advanced
the argument for more chickens in the
valley, but insisted that Il mistake
would be made if poultrymcn failed t.
make it a point to select only such
stock us had been proven of worth. A
200-egg hen, while perhaps higher in
! initial cost, was the only kind of hen
which was worth while, and should be
the only kind handled in the valley.

An Unmixed Tragedy.

We find in the New York Her.

edies of peace that so infinitely
surpasss in tragedy anything
that may be known in war.
A woman residing in one of
the suburbs of New York City
it is unnecessary to give the
name-had two sons. both of
them considered promising. The
oldest was of military age when
the great war came, and he
promptly volunteered for foreign
service, and later gave his life
gloriously for his country in the
Argonne Forest. His mother
faced her bereavement not with
out grief, but without despair.
1t would have been we'll for
that mother had her second son,
too had been given an opportun-
ity to make the supreme sacrifice.
But he was not. He is 19 years
old now, but he has been convict
ed in the New York courts for
highway robbery. and at the
threshold of his young life faces
a twenty-year penal service. The
mother who survived the first
blow is in her grave from the
second.
