This season has been more or less
backward; to some extent 1t has AFT
fected hatchalbility.
In general It is calculated to create
some slight stringency in the day-old-
chick industry. Demand so far is
heavy; shipments are at a high point,
and as the next two months are peak
months for sales there Is every reason
TO believe the demand will increase.
With hen meat becoming so much OF

"Thank you! ! wish you the

he hoped over the fields and
through the woods. All the while
the lightning was flashing and the
thunder rumbling, though, as yet,
it had not rained.
Uncle Wiggily was half way to
his hollow stump bungalow when,

OBSERVING THE EAGLE

Prof. Francis H. Herrick of Western Reserve
University has been taking congenal vacation in the
top of tree 100 feet high at Vermon O. He has done
the same thing for several summers.
This feat would be notable merely as an athletic
feat for an elderly gentleman. The professors pur-
pose however, primarily scientific. He is an ardent
naturalist, and uses this to observe the ways
of the eagle-something which Solomon confessed
was beyond his ken, and in which modern ornitholo
gists have made little progress
From screened platform in the top of that
tree Prof. Herrck with assistant to divide the
watches with him, has spent every day for several
weeks from m. to p. scrutinizing the home
life in eagles nest in adjoining tree. The nest
is about 10 feet in diameter and weighs ton and
has been there for 81 years Every year during that
time par of bald eagles have appeared, made nee
essary repairs, occupied the dwelling and raised
brood There used to be group of four nests Now the
others are gone presumably because "sportsmen'
shot the occupants
The results of such observation should be rarely
interesting to a generation which is developing new
interest in all wild life. at time when the noble bird
which is the symbol of America is in danger of EXITING
tion 1t may be funny to think of that old professor
perched in tree-top, watching nest with pair of
field glasses and camera, but it is certainly prefer
able to hunter blazing away with shotgun at any
specimen of wild life that happens to be particularly

CHEAPER GAS

When Governor McMaster of South Dakota began
selling gasoline at cost in the name of the state he
started something.
The governor could not understand why when
gasoline was worth Ia cents gallon at Wholesale it
should bring 26 cents at retail he established pub
ic station retailing for Is cents, with to ex
tending the cut rate the state if necessary
Stralghtway people in Minneapolis began wondering
why they should pay % "a cents retail for gas
when 1t was worth only about half that much whole
sale. Public authorities in Illinois, Kentucky Penn
sylvanla and other states began to take notice. The
Standard Oil Company proceeded to meet the COVER
nors price in rebeious South Dakota and Texas sell
ing the fuel in the latter state low as IL cents
gallon The movement spread quickly And the end
is not yet.
1t seems clear that in recent months if not over
long period, the American public has been gouged in
gasoline prices, by sort of tacit agreement the
part of the gentlemen controlling the industry There
mas been enormous overproduction of petroleum and
Its products, with lower prices for the crude OIL but
with the consumer failing to get the advantage.
The turning of petroleum into gasoline, kerosene
etc., beyond the needs of the market is waseful and
reprehenslble but long it is done the consumer
should get his fair share of the benefits along with
the reckless exploiters of the oil fields. He will
pay dearly enough when those fields are played out
