Pastry cooks tell tin that a duck's egg la better for many purposes uu a hen's egg. Furthermore, there are. nowadays, varieties of ducks which. with prop.'i care, will luy almost as many eKKS per feniule In a year as will a koimJ hen, says the Merchan dising Service llulletln. But the hen makes a noise every lima she luys an egg. while the duck says nothing and goes away and leaves her newly-laid egg to the mer cies of chunce. Hens are grown on every farm and In countless ihounandH of village back lots. The Pacific coast country Is full of associations devoted to the handling and marketing of hens' eggs, bul l lie duck is obscure and almost unknown. Here Is one mighly example of I lie value or making a noise in Hie world. There are millions of men In the world who are honest, capable and Intelligent, but who have a hard time to make a living. There are millions of business positions which these men could fill, perhaps belter than I hey are being filled by Hie meu who now hold Ihem, but Ihe fellows who have Ihe good Jobs have also had the faculty of pushing them selves forward and seeing that the men who had jobs to give out heard about them. Thcv had the ability lo make a noise about themselves and made It tn a good advantage. Theie are thousands of profession al men struggling along without re munerative businesses because they have been tco modest or oo ethical or too retiring to put themselves In the way of business which might be theirs. They have never learned how to make a noise. In Just the same way, there are thousands of business houses, which are running along on a small volume of business, probably struggling tn make both end.) meet, or if they are making a profit. It is very much less than It ought to he, because these houses have never learned how to muke a noise about themselves and Ihe goods they handle. The most modest form of making a business noise is aHP-rllsing. Yout business competitor may carry no hotter merchandise than you carry- He may be 'in no better position t o give service tn his customers than you are. but If he lets Ihe possible buyers know through advertising Hint he hat merchandise which they want and that he gives service which liny med while you sit still walilne for them tn com' to you, he will premier while you will go backward. There are many manufacturers who are making high-class merchan dise; goods of good iiuallt.ia with good materials and good workman ship, bul if thesw manufacturers are not advertising their merchandise nnd nobody knows about It, it's the wrong kind of merchandise for you lo have on your shelves. II Is your business to advertise your store und your service and it is to your Interest to let your ciisloni- ...... u,l,, II...... v.... !..., nu l.i.t you cannot afford to give thorough and" complete advertising to every product In your store that Is the J manufacturer's business and unless he dots this you ought to change to some other lines which are adequate ly advertised. You don't want duck eggs to sell In v,. Eli.ni V.kll waul h.n:i ,'ffra. I They are the kind which are adver ! Used. .MAKK THK 1IOHO WOIIK. The hobo pest was about eradi cated during the war period, says the C! runts Pass Courier. There was no place for the Idle man, and much as II must have gone against Ihe grain with the easy-living fraternity, they had to get lnlo harness and make at least a bluff at becoming producers. The younger of the breed were forced into the army, or sought cover in the ship-building plants while the fellows with red blond in their veins fought the battles for their country, Hut now the hobo Is with us again. He stakes the "touch" at the street cor ner for the price of breakfast, and ludges for the night in the barn or warehouse. He is a menace to life jnd property, and is a demoralizing influence upon the community. What lo do with him is a problem. He ught not to be permitted to draw bis sustenance from his fellow man like the parasite he is. and the rock pile has its disadvantages for it is often only an excuse through which meulB are given for work I hat does not .count. These men ought lo he made lo work or allowed to. starve. There Is development work now needing men. There are roads to construct, canals to exeuvute, mills to operate and lauds to clear. The gov ernment should establish camps to which the more incorrigible of these hoboes could be sent. Then, if they have heallh and sliength in t heir bodies, li t them work if they would eat. Pay Iheni by the yard for dig ging ditches or for grading roads, If they will not deliver a day's work otherwise. But And a way to make jthem stop wearing out railroad ties and cluttering up trarilc on me ciiy streets. One of the good feaiuri-a of Ihe war was that it put the hobo off the Job for a time. II was almost worth the price. It Is quite a conilorl occasionally to get Into a company that does not discuss tire and engine trouble and noihlng worse than sickness or bad busineas to worry nbout. Every once in a while you hear of a school boys' strike, but Its never a hunger strike. If youTiadlhem mi, you'd think "the good old days" were bad old days. It Isn't so "much what you do as whom you "do" that gets you In bad. The pooFesi loin is borrowed trou bles. Pet prejudices pay poor Interest.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE AX OI'EX l.KTTEIt TO THK Tl'K- KEV tiltoWEHS OK lMJltills tOl.XTV. On Tuesday, November 16th, I was Informed that turkey buyers nau agreed among (heinselvea that (hey would only pay forty cents per pound for turkevs. As llils was not thought a satisfactory price when Ihe cost of growing and wholesale prices in ine clly were considered. Ihe formation of a pool was undertaken. This pool was formed not to put (he price dc yond reason, but for the purpose of Hying lo get a just pfice for the producer. lis success is snown uv (he fact that the buyers advanced Ihe price lo forty-five cents. 4hen lo forty-six and then lo for(y-six and a half cenls per pound. Finally the price advancinl to forly-eigh( and (hen (o fifty cents, without a uoutit had not (he farmers been advised and (his pool formed they would have re ceived much less for (heir turkeys. According lo a very conservntlve estimate there were at least six or more outside buyers In the county In some cases these men had their wives along whh (hem. Each of these men employed from two to Ihree helpers in each locality (o as sist In handling the birds he bought. You may usk. what has this (o do with Ihe price they paid for turkeys The answer Is, you paid the expenses of all these people by 'aking less for your turkeys. Do you want to con tintie In do so? Nn( only do you pay (ho expense.! of Iheso foreign buyers, but In most cases you indirectly pay the local man who buys turkeys for outside parties either two or two nnd a half cents n pound, depending on whether he or his buyer furnishes Ihe shipping crates. Why sliould you be nt the mercy of either of these sets of buyers? You purchase goods from any slore-koeper in Hie counly and pay him the price he asks. Why should he not be equally reasonnbl and pay you a price that you ask. If that price Is a fair and Just one? Then, why should not turkey grow ers orgnnize for the marketing of their birds? In this way they would do away with needless nnd wasteful duplication in the handling of tur keys, obtain much more money for (heir birds nnd get the benefit of the strength (hat comes from united ef fort. At two points In Ihe county there were eleven buyers employing seven li-en men. mnklng a total of twenty- eight people doing the work that a farmer organization could do with ten men. The expenses of these other eighteen men naturally come out of (he price the producer should have received. Think these things over and then if you consider It wnrlh while com municate with me nnd we will help you plan for the Christinas market season. The lime Is short. W can and will help you help yourselves. If this work Is wanted, we will plan to hold six evening meetings to organ ize and get to work. Remember this Is up lo you, nnd If you want to or ganize phone 323 and do It now. The prices received for turkeys shipped on consignment from our re cent pool nelted as follows: The whole pool consignment netted an average of fifty-four cents, old loms nnd crooked hreasls Included. Those sold locally brought fifty cents per pound. Itospectfully yours, H. E. HASLETT, Counly Agent. 40 CITY NEWS 0 Trains Dclnyeil A derailment in California yester day resulted in Ihe delay of all northbound trains last nithl and this .doming.
