COOS BAYITES who have been complaining during the winter when eggs soared to GO cents a dozen and who still murmur at hav ing to pay forty cents should And consolation in a story that comes from Pennsylvania. Tho fancy 'fig ures that prevail here for hen fruit aro dwarfed into insignificance by the value put upon tho product of a Pennsylvania hen who has been the victim of as sinister, callous and cold-blooded a set of' scoundrels as ever conspired to ruin the fortunes of a respectable fowl. Let us be a llttlo specific. Lady Washington was recently sitting at the Scranton poultry show. She is worth $12,000, and is there fore much moro precious thau the proverbial goose that laid tho golden ogg as will presently be establish ed by the Irrefutablo logic of arith metic. The other day, in a moment of misplaced confidence. Lady Washington proceeded to inform tho assembled populace in the manner peculiar to hens, that sho had be come the mother of a fine, fat, -white, bouncing egg, sex not deter minable. Then several coarse, brutal, long-fingered and short-con-sclonced men plotted to steal the egg and accomplished their nefari ous purpose when Lady Washington, her owner and tho special policeman who guards her were inexcusably looking the other way. Lady Washington's -owner oners a reward of $25 for tho return of the egg, and no questions asked. This establishes a now record for eggs. Of course, tho cynical will ask why bo much fuss about such a llttlo thing, and why Lady Washington can't lay other eggs In a burglar proof vault if. necessary. But tho n-aluo of this particular egg lies in tho possibility that from It may be evolved another $12,000 hen. As suming that Lndy Washington lajs but four eggs a week, a very modest estimate, sho would in tho course of a year roturn to the ownor at $25 an egg tho astonishing revenue- of $5,200 which, on tho original cap tallzatlon of $12,000, would make her possession pioportlonately moro prolltablo than tho control of Stand ard Oil. "Heu minded" Is a term of contempt In New England. But when a hen Is minded as Lady Wash ington Is to produce eggs at $25 each tho expression takes on an en tirely now significance. sad people. They work with much less friction. "Good cheer Is a great lubricant; It oils all of life's machinery. Shake spcaro says: "A merry heart goes all the day, Your sad tires In a mile a." "There Is no other life habit which can give such a prolific return in happiness and satisfaction as that of being cheerful under all circum stances. If the resolution to cul tivate cheerfulness Is strongly made at tho very outset. It will not be. difficult to form the cheerful habit, and it will be the best protection against suffering and disappoint ment. "Cheerfulness is also a great pro ducer. It adds wonderfully'to one's active ability, and increases mental and physical power.. It makes hosts of friends, and helps us to be Inter esting and agreeable." Not only is tho abovo very true but It is also a fact that cheerfulness like good health is a matter that is largely In one's own keeping. If you will take careful note you will find that those who aro gloomy and de pressed have no especial reasons for being so. You will find cherful peo ple who have just as many cares and worries. They are cheerful because they prefer to bo that way and make it a point to be that way. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. DAIRYING FOR PROFIT. A COW OF tho Guernesey breed, belonging to a dairyman and cattle breeder In Rhode Island, recently completed a year's record for milk and butter fat which places her In rank among the other choice dairy cattle of the United States. She is Missy of the Glen, and during the twelve months from December 1, 1908, she produced 14, 591.70 pounds of milk from which was obtained 954.76 pounds of butter. A year ago, the wonderful Jersey cow, Jacoba Irene, owned by a resi dent of Illinois, completed a record for milk and butter fat during twelve months which startled the dairymen all over the world. During that pe riod she gave 17,253 pounds 3.2 ounces of milk in which was found G54 pounds 2.4 ounces of butter fat or 1,122 pounds 9.3 ounces of but ter. Other great milk and butter rec ords have been made by cows of other breeds In the eastern part of this American republic, and coining nearer home it might bo well to men tion that there are several cows In Coos county that have already made themselves famous as producers of milk and butter fat and will continue in that respect because their owners are enthusiastic dairymen and be lieve that none but the best cows should bo maintained on their farms Profitable milk cows are always de- sirable; but few of them are to be found on the average homestead. They require but a trifle more care and feed than do tho cows whose keep means a loss to their owners, and whoso offspring should never be allowed to reach tho adult stage, un less they are wanted for the meat block. The dairy Industry of this section Is not advancing as rapidly as It should, when wo consider tho nat ural facilities at hand for maintain ing' it. It has been ascertained that during the past year or longer, the industry has been practically at a standstill notwithstanding tho high prices for milk and butter, atfd the principal reason assigned for the de ficiency in total production of milk and cream Is that several who have, horetoforo followed dairying have becomo prosperous to such an extent that they desire to associate them solves with a business which Is less confining and In which the matter of hired help does not figure so great ly. Competent help In the dairy Is A BOOSTING THOUGHT. Tho boosters went a boosting For the city and the farm (We've got tho swellest county That never failed to charm!) The boosters went a boosting For the Valley and the Bay (We've got as fine a harbor As you'll find on any day.) The boosters boomed the timber They boosted up the mines (They used the very swellest typo To make the big headlines.) They boosted up The Times That prints the bostlng stuff (But they didn't boost the prices For they were high enough!) They boosted up tho cllmato For the climate's come to stay, (Though the knockers get the cold feet Upon the warmest day!) The people make the towns. The man who expects to get legal advice for nothing should marry a woman lawyer. One aviator Is of the opinion that it is just as dangerous to fall a hundred as a thousand feet. But tho man who falls a thousand feei will have more time to think of all the mean things he ever did. Three pecks of Oregon apples were sold in an Illinois town recently for $51, the money being used for the benefit of an orphans' home. No doubt the little ones would have ap preciated tho apples Instead. One of the members of the United States senate is of the opinion that this country will have a population fn lDGffof 200,000,000. Of course, he will have resigned his place in that part of the national government be fore then. . Washington was the fifth child on his father's side and Benjamin Franklin was the fifteenth of 17 chil dren. And there are others, includ ing many who are preaching the doc trine of "fewer children and better." It's lucky for them that their parents weren't controlled by that .belief.

Tho estimated value of the gold output of 1909 was $19,460,000; that of 190S was $19,292,818. The copper prod uction of 1909 was approximately 4, 000,000 pounds, valued at about $520,000; that of 1908 was4, 585, 362 pounds, valued at $602,267.

"Op-. tlnilsm Is tho greatest business-getter, blggost trader, tho greatest achiever In tho world. Pessimism has never done anything but tear down and destroy whnt optimism has hum up.

In such cases cows that are large producers of milk nnd butter fat should bo kept, as through this means numer ous small dairy herds could bo main tained without extra troublo and tho annual showing of tho Industry would consequently bo Increased. There Is a necessity for moro cows whoso mllk-nnd-cream producing capabilities are such that the annual lncomo from each Is close to or ex ceeding $100 instead of tho paltry sum of $50 or $60, which Is barely sufficient to remunerate the dairy men for the feed placed before them. greatly from that of 1908, when the total value was $244,189. From 1880 when mining first began in Alaska to the close of 1909, the total value of tho mineral production has been In round numbers $168,000, 000. Of this amount the gold mines hnvo contributed about $161,000, 000; the commercial value of tho sil ver output has been about $1,200,000 and the copper production has been about $4,700,000. The remnlnder is represented by the value of the out put of coal, gypsum, tin, and marble. t!Sa52!HS2SES2SS5HSHSSSa52SH5HSZ522SHSa5S5HSaSEKSaS2Sa5a5HS?5ZS Portland & Coos Bay S S.
