Suggested at a Recent Gathering Corvallis Fanciers. of In view of this locality's grow ing importance as a poultry center some encouragement is offered to dealers in poultry supplies and to inventors of conveniences for poul try raisers. ' Schemes to prevent chickens from flyine was under discussion Thurs day; Many objections were offer' ed to the custom ot clipping the wings. The man, in the experi mental stages of his poultry exper ience, once unknowingly set a hen with eggs boiled for Easter Sunday and wondered why so many prov ed unfertile, suggested as a means of preventing chickens from flying, that a light but strong cord be fastened at the joint ot one wing.

At ao afternoon meeting in the Methodist church the latter part of last week occurred an incident that was not down on the program. In the presence of his. congregation and a number cf other ministers. Dr, Driver passed the lie to Rev, Handeaker, pastor of the local Chmt;an church. "You are a liar," thundered the veteran preacher as he glared back in fury at thevonrg er man. Theincident according jto all accounts was marked by dramatic detail, and has, since been the oc casion of much comment about town. ,; ' The trouble arose over the dif- ference in the views of Dr. Driver and the Christian clergyman on the subject of baptism. In fact during a eeries of meetings recently held by Dr. Driver in Albany a spirit of controversy is said to have, been aroused between him and . the pas tor of the Christian church in that city. Among Other things the con troversy led to a - challenge for a public discussion of the a subject, but the debate 011 some account never happened. The incident is believed to have been a legacy, to a certain degree of the bad blood en-A gendered in a town down the Wil lamette. V Dr. Driver's Corvallis meetings began two weeks or more ago, and in bis firi-t sermon there was a sar castic reference to the doctrines of the Christian denomination, respect ing baptism. This and other refer ences of similar character are sup posed to have reached the ears of Rev. Handsaker, and in his own pulpit the Sunday following there was a quiet reference to the matter of baptism, and a spirited defense of the Christian position. It is un derstood that Dr. Driver's discus sion of the subject of baptism was at the request of a number of vpas tois and laymen who wanted a de fence to attacks said to have been made by Evangelist Wileon of the Christian denomination in tent meetings held in Corvallis two years ago, On the above afternoon it happen ed that Rev. Handsaker was amorg the members ot the congregation, nearly all the local ministers being present. Shortly before the service ended,. ;- Rev.r Haadsaker asked, permission to say a few words. Per mission was granted by Pastor Moore and after stating that Dr, FEBRUARY INVENTORY SALE This month is cleaning up month, stock adjusting time- cleaning the deck -for spring business.

Handsaker finally stating that when challenged by thej pastor of the Christian church in Ibany to a- debate. Dr. Driver bad backed down and failed to defend his position- "You are a liar." was the vehement retort of the aged preacher. For a few minutes there was a scene of much excitement, in which several of the ministers preseDt spoke of the. matter, but it- soon gave way to a condition of peace, Thereafter, there was an extended but orderly discussion of points in bapt'sm in which several of the local ministers took part. passed under the body, and tied atf-Drivei1 wss not correctly represen- the point ot the opposite wing. However, before the merits of this plan could be discussed, another was offered by a gentleman, who believes in the strict application ot science to all methods. Said he, ''You should take the chicken when it is young and let fhe joint water out of its wings by pricking. That, as everybody knows, will stiffen the wing joints, and, of course, prevent them from flying." Although this plan was thought to be rather inhu mane, the gathering nevertheless in dicated its approval. Then the question .of the best means of preventing chickens- from scratching gardens w,as brought up. The one which met the ap proval of those present is an inven tion, it is said, of Will Horning of this city It consists in attaching a pointed drag to one of the chick en's legs. It.is hinged to a band about the leg, and in principle op erates much the same as the old fashioned drag long ago attached to the rear axle to prevent the wag on from running back when the team was stopped on a hill. - This instrument allows the chicken to bring its foot forward, but the sharp point of the drag sticks into ground and prevents the fowl from making the damaging backward stroke. If the chicken is left-handed or right-handed, only one drag is important, but if it can use both feet with equal facility a drag ou each leg is necessary.
