Eight or ten years ago when

Orpington hatching eggs at $10
per k or U per 15 eggs. It
was thoueht to be extraordinary
-rr-snd M It was, because previons
to.tbat time S.1 per egg bad been
the top price In rases where the
owners of highest quality speci
mens were willing to sell eggs
for batching from these speci
mens .at any price. Not only do
w have leading pouttrymen wbo
will ,not part with their best

THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON
SELLIRG FOR
Farms, Austin, Minn,, Is
Hatching Eggs from Their
White Leghorns, Headed
Square Garden, January,
alo their fittest breeders. Three
and one half years afro, Septem
ber, 191ft, Oak Dale Farms pur
chased the complete flock of D.
W. Voting, then of Monroe, X.
Y . inelndinr his entire founda
tion stock, made up of many prize
winner at Madison Square Gar
den and elsewhere. Practically
uone of these Young birds were
sold by Oak Oale Farms and com
paratively few hatching eggs. On
the contrary this stock. In the
n.ain. aiso the bulk of eggs pro
duced by them during the hatch
ing season, have been reserved
by Oak Dale for foundation stock.
Recently, Arthur O. Schilling of
Buffalo, X. ., well known poul
try artist, visited Oak Dale Farms
to make catalogue illustrations of
numerous choice breeders pro
duced from the original Young
stork and that purchased in Uan-i-ary
of this year from Owen
Farms. While In attendance at
the third and final meeting of
the A. P. A. Committee of Forty
at Buffalo, we talked with Mr
Schilling about this visit, during
which Interview he said, in sub
stance: .
i "Yes. they have theeal thing
at Oak Dole Farms. Of course
during my three days' visit, and

frying farms, with a view to--ex
amining all the birds or passing
an intelligent comment on them,
but at the home plant I saw 40
breeding pens containing a lor
of wonderful birds. . I'ndoubtedly
Oak Dale Farms own today a
larper number of superior qual
ity S C. White Leghorns than
any otner poultry plant in tti
world. And why shouldn't they?
We need to remember what they
lro;itlit about thre years ago
iioin that past-master in the
breeding of 9. ('. White Leghorn?.
D. W. Young, and how they re
cently added he entire Owen
farms iiock, consisting or over
1 200" birds. Including Mr. De
lano's winners at Madison Square
Garden, at Hoston. etc.
"And the Oak Dale Farms neo-
rfe understand the valu of this
Yonng stock. I say 'Young stock'
because, as we all know, the Owen
Farms stock originated from some
of D. W. Young's master prod
ucts: therefore in acquiring the
Owen Firms White leghorns the
Osk Dc::e people have simply
idded further choice specimens of
the same blood. While I was at
Oak Dale Farms working on the
illustrations for their 1921 cata
'ofcue and matin; list I was told
that they intended to ask $10 per
fFR. or 81S0 pr setting of 1".
for their lest mating, headed by
hat wonderful first prize cock
hown by Mr. Delano at this
vear's Garden show, believed to
he the finest S. C. White Leghorn
male ever produced and exhibit
ed. My opinion was asked about
the value of hatching eggs from
this mating and I told them
frankly tha I believed they are
truly worth $10 apiece. I saw
and examine every female in
this mating and each bird is a
star of the first magnitude. More
over, they are expertly mated, not
only as to blood lines, but on the
basis of individual characteris
tics and any purchaser who is so
fortunate as to get 15 hatching
eggs from this pen will obtain
value received, if he has average
good luck as to the number or
rhlcks hatched and then raises the
chicks In a porper manner."
There can be no question but
that hatching eggs can be worth
$10 each. It will be recalled that
Mr. Kellerstrass, in bis laudable
ambition to set this new price,
limited the sale to five settings
that many and no more. A
coint of special importance in the
ase of the price thus placed by
Oak Dale Farm on this "best mating-
is the fact that all who are
able to place orders with them
or these particular eggs WILL
GET WHAT THEY ORDER.
That is one comforting point in
asking such a price they can af
ford to deliver the goods.

able dpftrees of h-at which ofln
upoil the late spring days. Ttoi
luplls were too lisilers -even for
intM-b'ef, and as for paying any
real attention to their tasks
that was a hopeless question.
"What are you going to do
with yours the rest of the after
noon?" Hess Tan whispered lo
me at the recess hour. "I'm go
ing to give mine a lot of copying
to do. It's too hot to try, to
teach anything, and they would
n't gel anything out of it any
way." "Why not let. them read?" i
suggested, with a flash of pity tor
the youngsters under Miss Dean'c
martinet rule.
"What, those brats!" she ex
claimed. "Spoil 'em for weeKs.
Xay. nay. they're us?d to the iron
mitt, and if it's ever lifted I'll
have the old Harry's own time
getting back again. They'll gt
a lot of copying done, and little
Bessie 11 get ber schedule all fill

or two after school tonight. You'd
better follow my example, but !
suppose you're too tender heart
ed." The. words were accompanied
by one of Miss Dean's merry,
flashing smiles but I was sure
there was a covert sneer behind
the apparent friendliness. I do
not actively dislike Bess Dean,
but I cannot approve of her. and
I am sure that she cares for me
no more than I do for ber.
A caustic retort trembled on
my lips, but I choked it back, re
turned her smile with one which
I flatter myself revealed nothing
of my real reeling, turned back to
my classroom, to which a few
moments later Alice Holcombe
rushed In. pale and breathless.
"Sit down," I commanded,
"and don't speak for a minute."
I filled a glass from the ice
water carafe, handed it to h?r and
watted until she had sipped a por
tion of its contents.
"Thank yon," she said, looking
up gratefully. "But what do you
think? Mr. Stockbrldge may not
be back here for two or three
days. And whatever will IMlly
take into her head to do in the
meantime?"
"Did Yon Tell"
Her voice trailed off despairing
ly. I gripped her shoulder impa
tiently.
"What has happened?" I de
manded. "What is taking Mr.
Stockbrldge away?"
"Why, one of his dearest friend
is the principal of a school about
50 miles from here. .The man
had a serlons accident, and hi
affairs and school from wfcat i
can gather ever the telephone are
in a serious tnaddle. He has been

Mr. Stockbrldge is spending all
bis time traveling between hospi
tal, home and school. He knows
everything will go along smooth
ly here, so he told me over the
telephone that he wouldn't be
back for a couple of days. He
said you and I were to decide ev
erything sort of a council of two
I take it just as if we possessed
his authority.'
"Did yon tell him abont his
wife's breaking open his private
desk?" I asked with discreetly
lowered voice.
"Xo-a. 1 tidn't." she replied
with troubled eyes and voice. "1
know I should have done so, but
be seemed to have so much on
his mind that I bated to burden
him with anything more."
"I think you did exactly right,"
I responded promptly, and was re
warded by seeing her face bright
en. "Why Kot?"
"I'm Klad yon think so," sbe
said. "It was difficult to know
what to do. He said he had al
ready notified bis wife that be
would be gone, and asked me !
I wouldn't run around and see her
while he was gone."
"Oh. you mustn't do that!" 1
ejaculated with a vivid memory
of the "snake in the grass"
speech from Mllly Stockbridge's
lips.
"Why not?" she questioned,
startled, then evidently decided 1
had meant nothing special, reas
sured me as to her course of ac
tion. "I'm not going to go there."
she said. "From what Mr. Stock
bridge said over the telephone
Milly must have given him no Ink

discovery. This means that she a

planning what particularly devil
ish thing she can best do. I'm
not going to get in ber way, can
assure you. At any rate. Mr.
Stockbrldge is out of the way for
two or three days, and will tele
phon me when he expects to
come back. I'll keep my eyes
open, and drop a hint to Milly's
people if I find she's kicking over
the traces. Oh. dear, there's that
telephone again. It seems to me
I've answered it a million times
today."
"I'll go." I Raid, and sped down
the stairs. It was a long-distance
call, and when the connec
tion was finally secured It was
Lillian's voice that came.

1. Yoftemite National Tark. A "studebaker Light
Six, piloted by Hart L. Weaver and carrying a crew
of five men from the Chester N. Weaver Company,
was the first automobile to reach the Yosemlte Na
tional Park over any one of the three snow covered
roads tinder Its own power this year. The, car went
over the narrow and dangerous Coulterville road,
bucking snow as deep as tea feet in some places,
arriving In Yoeemite Valley, January 16.
2. Round Trip Record Between Kan Franrbo-o
and Loh Aageles. On February 2 the same car,
driven by Hart L. Weaver and James V. Ourley of
the Chester N. Weaver Company, established a new
round trip record between San Francisco and Los
Angeles.. a distance of 864.8 miles, in the sensational
time of 21 hours and 23 minutes.
3. Coutt Route Record from San Francisco to
Lou Angeleft. On the round trip record of February 2
the Studebaker Light-Six lowered the coast route
record from San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2 hours.
35 minutes and 20 seconds. The former record was
12 hours, 47 minutes and 50 seconds, the time of
the Studebaker Light-Six being 10 hours, 12 min
utes and 30 seconds for the distance of 453.7 miles.
The pilots were Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley.
4. Valley Route Record Between Ixm Angeles

Light-Srx smashed the valley route record between
Los Angeles and San Francisco, running the dis
tance of 411.1 miles in the remarkable time of 9

ing of March 23 the Light-Six left Los Angeles la
an attempt to lower the fifth and only remalslng
record of consequence onithe Pacific Coast. The
422 miles of desert trail frim Los Angeles to Phoe
nix were made in 13 hours, il 6 minutes, and 2 boars,
28 minutes were taken Irom the best previous
automobile record. The railroad time is 14 hours, 20

established by the LIght-Sljf.;
ft;
Hart L. Weajrer of the Chester X. Weaver Com
pany, Studebaker Distributors in San Francisco,
made the following statement after the completion
of the Los Angeles-Phoenix-run:
"These tests have demonstrated on the road every
thing that Studebaker engineers have claimed for
the new Light-Slx-cylinder 'ear. When it is remem
bered that the bore and stroke of this car is only
3Mx4tt, giving It a piston: displacement, of 207
cubic Inches, and that thenar fully equipped only
weighs 2500 pounds, these records are all the more
remarkable since most of them were formerly .held
by heavier cars costing much more than the Stude
baker Light- Six. I am Inclined to believe that the
secret of this car's wonderful performance, and road
ability is due in a very large measure to Its remark
able balance. Halved or quartered the parts of the
new Llxht-Six would weigh approximately the same.
"In making the Los Aligeles-Phoenrx record I
am frank to confess that despite my faith in the
stamina of Studebaker automobiles 1 could not be
lieve that any car could nfake the speed over the
desert road with its ruts aad chuck holes that was
necessary in order to lower vthe record by a large
margin without (ailing, to pieres. Any automobile,
