titled "On the Cam pita,” and the other
was "Thoodore.”

Mr. F. M. Heath gave some very
amusing impersonations.
Mr, A. L. Barber, eity auditor, lold
alxiut the need of "(lily and County
Consolidation.** He spoke from ex-
lierirnce, telling of many duplications.
Many thouaaiida of dollar* of the tax­
payers money can be saved by consolida­
tion and he hoped that it would come to
l>awi.
It has proved to lie a amices* in
many eastern cities, so why not hare in
Portland and Multnomah county.
Miss Pauline Pease talked on the all
absorbing topic, "High Cost of Living.**
She told how to purchase with care, buy­

Eggs that hatch well come from hen»
that have good vitality.
The reproiuctive organs ot the hen
are apparently very sensitive. A hen
may produce well, but not reproduce
w-ll.
The fact that a hen lay« well does not
necanxariiy imply that her eggs will hatch
well and her chick» grow well.
The hen that nistles for a living, lay»
a nestful of egg» in the lence corner,
batches every egg and rear» every chick,
if cooped up in a house and fed and
cared for well doe« not always, if ever,
produce good hatchable eggs, The hen
