If a girl would never take a Joke It wouldn't be so bad, for then you'd know where you were, but when they find something excruciatingly funny at one time and then get angry at something Just as funny, or funnier, at another time, It keeps ou guessing.

Small Farmer Will Find Poultry Raising Pays. Egg farming is the branch of poultry keeping for the back-lotter or village acre man, unless he has the fancy in view, and even then he will do better to depend on eggs as his main source of revenue until he becomes thoroughly established for the production of eggs. The small breeds and those laying white eggs will be found the most profitable In the majority of localities. It is the small, active fowl that bears confinement the best. The larger breeds can be kept In confinement, but they require more looking after to induce them to exercise sufficiently.

Pullets of any breed may be fed a dry mash from a hopper If hard grain is scattered in litter, but. it will not do to feed 2-year-old hens of the larger breeds from a hopper when confined to a house or yard, as they wil take no fat and become unproductive. Leghorns and other small breeds will lay about as well the second as the first laying year, so that it is not necessary to renew the stock entirely every year. A good plan wouU be to have the stock half pullets and half hens in their second laying year; the pullets 'shall commence laying in October or early in November. The hens will molt in the fall and commence laying in January, so there will be a continuous flow of eggs at all This will bring the average price of eggs for the year up materially.

The village or back-lot poultry plant should have a small yard for growing stock. The chicks may be raised in out-door brooders, in colony cops with tireless brooder house erected especially for the purpose. By the plan outlined above 200 chicks will supply all the pullets needed for a sizeable back-yard plant, and these can be grown on a small space. It Is not necessary to keep any males with the hens, as the chicks can be purchased cheaply and that will do away with the work and worry of incubation, and it is a good plan to renew the stock from free range breeders. A male bird eats as much as a hen and takes up as much room, so you are losing the value of 10 or 12 dozen eggs a year for every male bird kept This means that it really costs $3 or $4 a year to keep a male bird, which you can get along without by buying chicks, and this should be taken into consideration when counting the cost 11 EXACT COPT OF WRAPPEB.

Advertisement Elkhart Dealers May Be Called Before Grand Jury. Whether an alleged trust controls the price of anthracite coal in this city is to be investigated by a committee from the common council if a resolution to this end that City Attorney Proctor says he has been asked to prepare and present at the next meeting is adopted. "There has been a good deal of complaint to members of the council and to me," said the attorney, "relative to the high price of anthracite and suggestions that there is a combination to boost prices. Whether there is any foundation for this belief I not know. It may be that the local dealers are powerless'in the matter." Mr.

Proctor said that a committee from the council would not be vested with any authority to compel testimony if dealers refused to answer the questions but that he did not appreheud there would be any hesitancy on the part of the dealers in this regard. "If a situation developed that could not be handled by the committee and circumstances warranted, the matter could be referred to the grand jury," was Mr. Proctor's conclusion. Elkhart Review.

We were late: that is, Elizabeth was late. I call her Elizabeth only when I write or think of her, for you have to know a girl a long time these days before you can call her comfortably by her first name to her face. I had been entertaining her father, who I knew would rather read the evening paper, for a full half hour before she fluttered into the library in her evening clothes and from there cut into the carriage, all in a tremendous hurry. I picked up one of her long gloves as I followed and silently put in into my pocket. We were nearly at our hostess before she discovered her glove was missing.

Oh, oh," she said. "The next time I lose anything I want to be punished terribly for it." "I should say an evening with one glove off and one glove on would be quite punishment enough," I replied. "How did you know it was my glove?" "It was the only thing that you didn't have fastened on." "Perhaps I've dropped it in the carriage," she suggested. We looked, but it wasn't there. "I -wa3 in a similar fix once myself," said Eoothingfly.

"I just kept my hands in my pockets all evening." "I have no pockets," said Elizabeth. "And you are laughing at my trouble, which is unkind." "Or you might wear your muff on that arm," I suggested. "A little warm while dancing, perhaps, but "Pray be serious. What shall I io?" Elizabeth held out her arms. On one stretched a long white glove, an the other stretched nothing.

I considered the situation. "You slight have an accident." I said. "Accident?" Elizabeth looked puz-eled. I collected handkerchiefs from my A fellow never goes to a iance with less than three. "Shall I bind you up?" I asked.

Elizabeth saw the point. "I thiak it would better be a dreadful scald," she said, as 6he held out her arm. I wrapped my hankerchiefs around "ier wrist and made them look like a aandage. The bandage was certainly bulgy to pull a glove over before got through. I enjoyed the work.

One likes to get as near as possible to Elizabeth. Elizabeth was appreciative. "I lhall always come to you in difficulties after this," she said. It' Vas after the third dtnee that began to need my handkerchiefs. In the heart of a sympathetic group Elizabeth was relating the circumstances of her dieadtul staid.

She ind been caller- upon to tell the story often that she was really getting oored. People are glad or excuses that keep them near Elizabeth. I approached the group and drew Elizabeth's glove fom niy pocket. I jeg pardon," said innocently. "Am I happened to be interrupting Sammy Bla r's expressions af sympathy.

"I should like to ex-hange this glove for two of my hand-uerchiefs. No one seemed to enjoy the situa more than Elizabeth. The only one who didn't laugh at all when Elizabeth's wrist was unveiled was Sammy, and he was feeling rather Well, I thought it was a splendid piece of humor and that it would have such a good effect cn Elizabeth In Making her more careful. Besides, she enjoyed it so much, as was clear by the way she laughed. But on our way home she gave me an awful wigging about It and said I had induced her to tell an untruth and then had exposed her untruthfulness! What do vou think of that?

The Girl Who "Bosses." Many girls are done out of a good time because they love to rule. They may not know they are domineering, but their mates are aware of it and resent it. This desire to manage other people's affairs is a common cause of blackballs in girls' clubs, though the victim rarely recognizes that reason and attributes her defeat to personal spite, lack of money or "pull," rather than to her temperament. There is no better cause of unpopularity than a "bossy" disposition. Most of us have opinions of our own, and, even though they are not so good as those of our friends, we prefer to stick to them.

It is irritating to have each thought, action or Intention regulated by another. For the sake of peace most of us are supine when with these managing people We give In rather than argue; "often are" fSTse-todur "belter feci ves rather than fight It out. This is bad for both. In one it festers a desire to rule and an unpleasant trait Is molded Into tyranny. With the other acquiescence becomes a habit that weakens the power of decision.

Mothers who notice this desire to manage every one in a young child should break It up at once. It Is a trait that has a phenomenal growth, and when once grown it is hard to uproot. If you are a girl who loves to rule every one, stop and consider. What if you do think your methods better than those of your friend? Do not obtrude them until asked for an opinion, then give it without sulking' If some one else's plans are preferred. Tour friends may pretead to give in to you, but they do it grudgingly and they like you none the better for it.

Obstinate people may fight things out with you; other persons, lesa fond ef friction, will shun you. The would-be "boss" should take as a motto, "Live and' let live," which ki plain English means don't try to run the lives of those around you. Life, Accident, Firef and Tornado Insurance.

Charles Fields, of Elkhart, was saved from serious consequences, after having accidentally taken a draught from a bottle which contained a poisonous compound by the services of a physician. By the use of emetics Mr. Fields was relieved, but not until he had suffered severely. Neither the physician nor any member of the family was able to tell what was in the bottle.

There was no label on it. to do his own Incubating he can mate up one or more pens of his best hens-and use their eggs. It depends on the size of the plant which course will prove the most profitable. The advantage In buying chicks is that they can all be secured at one time, and consequently are all of one age. With a few mated hens and one Incubator It Is not always posslbe to get off all the chick wanted at one hatch, and to get good chicks the eggs must be Incubated while perfectly fresh.

It Is not a good plan to keep eggs for incubation longer thanone week; beti ter make two or more hatches than to hold the eggs, as by this course you will not only get more chicks from the same number of eggs, bmt the quality of the chicks will be better and you will be able to raise them with less loss than you will if the eggs are allowed to become old before incubation. 1 The Useful Hen.

Cuccesa Pure Bred Stock. The mongrel hen is the hen that is largely in evidence upon almost every farm to-day. The main reason for this. is no doubt carelessness rather than choice. The average farmer would much rather see a flock of pure-bred fowls, all one even color, and all the same sise, than a mixture of all colors and Although many farmers still Been to think that crosses make better layers this may Mem true in some cases, as it must be admitted that in mongrel stock there are some good producers.

But the percentage is always smaller than amonj pure-bred stock. Many farmers claim it daca not pay to turn with thsi; yet the same farmer would not be guilty cf keeping a mongrel fie, and tiey are ail striving to bring their gra5 cows tip to pure blood. J. NEDS and SON, 510 S. Main Elkhart, Ind.
