The early chicks contest probably
will be won by the first entry.
Mrs. W. L. Townsend, of London,
has 41 chicks that were hatched
on February 28. They had to hurry
to arrive during the shortest month
of the year. She had five hens
come off their nests on that day
with 53 chicks out of 75 eggs but
several wero lost during the cold
rainy weather that followed. The
mothers of the chicks, if it be con
ceded that the hen who “sets” is
the mother, are of the Rhode Island
Red strain. On of the mothers is
an old hen, the others but pullets.
The old hen raised an early brood
last year and at that time proved
her industry by commencing to
lay eggs for another brood before
the first were six weeks old.
Three of the pullet mothers have
lost their maternal instinct since
the birth of the chickens and the
othew two have accepted the or-
phans and are hovering them.

Found
Too Resident of San Diego Got Her

Inspiration From City of
Construction.
Cottage Grove.
Oregon kiddies like to wade and
the Lions club has determined to
satisfy that craving by building
a wading pool in the proposed
city playgrounds which are to be
established in the city park. The
water it to be only n few inches
in depth, so that parents may have
no worry about their children be
ing in danger.
Members of tho Lions club will
themselves construct the pool and
before the summer season opens
will go to the playgrounds in a
body, prepare the ground and mix
and pour the cement.
The playground project is being
promoted by the Lions club and
the backing of other clubs of the
city has been secured. The Lions
will arrange for adequate super
vision during tho summer season.
The construction of a swimming
pool has been postponed for the
present, partly because of the cost,
which has been estimated at be
tween $6,000 and $7,000.
Mrs. Dan (Margaret) Byrne,
recently of this city, is becoming
a literary person since taking up
her residence in San Diego. At
least she has won a $50 prize of
fered by the Union National bank
of San Diego for tho best 100-word
story on San Diogo. That is at
tho rate of 50 cents the word.
The story is something of a rhap
sody on tho California city. It
must havo been written under
some difficulty, for tho writer has
as yet lost none of her love for
old C. G. and might have done
much bettor did she not know that
San Diego could never be more
than second best.
In a letter to tho editor of tho
Sentinel, Mrs. Byrno says she does
not know whether to attribute her
success to their proximity to the
Mexican border and all that that
implies, or to consider it reflected
glory from tho hordo of literary
high brows who inhabit her neck
of the woods. She is rather in
clined to believe the unexpected
honor comes from her habit of
absorbing Tho Sentinel ’a flowery
editorials on the famous, fertile,
fruitful Willamette.
The 100-word prize winner is as
follows:
“Sun Diego—historic soaport and
ideal homeland—city of beauty, of
inspiration, and of opportunity.
“Ocean breeze and glorious sun
shine combine in investing San Di
ego with delightful winters, as well
as refreshing summertimes, a cli
mate that is restful and healthful
the whole year through. Graceful
tropical troes anil foliage, and bril
liant fragrant flowers in profusion,
enrich the settings of artistic
homos.
“With an excellent harbor, broad

Diego exemplifies tho permanent

whoso foundation commercialism
and art are happily blended. ' *
Mrs. Byrne also won a smaller
prizo recently for a buy-at-home
story of 50 words.
MILLERS’ COUSIN KILLED
IN ILLINOIS CYCLONE .
George and Mallio Miller, of
this city, were among those hero
much concerned over the recent
cyclone in Illinois, their former
home. They have three brothers
living in the cyclone area and them
selves once lived at Enfield,
which the big wind barely missed.
None of their brothers was injured
or suffered any loss, although many
only a few miles away were killed
or suffored hoavily.
A cousin of theirs, aVernon Miller,
was killed when the Trousdale
school house was struck by the
wind, There wore 1(1 children in
the school.
Only three escaped
injury but only one was killed,
Another cousin of theirs, a brother
of the lad who was killed, was
seriously injured.
John Frymeyer, n brother in law
of J. M. Groves, was killed near
Enfield.
Tho big wind was traveling nt
the rate of 400 miles tho hour,
