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 In y(aw a! tka amAiinl stf wfirlr (i had to do, I could not look over the entire plant or visit the out- One more' week. A few week old Chicks are now on hand le r;l' i 1 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.

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.

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 taken to a hospital abont t five miles from bis home, and 1 gueaa 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 ling of her visit here or of her discovery. This means that she a brooding over the whole thing, 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. (To be continued) Classified Ads. In The Statesman Bring Results The last shell plowed the battle field At setting of the sun; The gredy Reaper had his yield. The bloody work was donp. The dead lay yet like sheaves of grain. The wounded had been- borne away To beds of fear and cruel ain. Before Ihe clone of day. The moon sent forth a feeble gleam, Then hid her face with grief; For here and there along the stream Lay pome forgotten theaf. Two lonely lads lay thus and bled Near by the bank, not far apart The one was wounded in the head. The other near the heart. These boys, reared on adjoining farms, Had shared in play and sport Until those urgent calls, "To Arms!" Cut youth and friendship short. For when the cannon's hungry mouth Bid boys of tender age march forth. One gave his service to the South; The other, to the North. As ally each claimed Heaven's might, Therefore no need to pause; The Gray had claimed a cause of right. The Blue a righteous cause. Now lay they near; yei far apart, And neither spoke a welcome .. now; For each bad hatred In his heart. And anger on his brow. The night grew chill, the night grew dark, The wind began to blow, A distant dog was beard to bark, A distant cock to crow. As time dragged on they both grew weak, And yet they found it hard to pray. For either was too proud to speak Or move the other's way. The struggling moon broke through the night. And with a. radiant rleam Transfused the valley with a light mat glided down the stream. Lingering it kissed a high church tower Before the clouds obscured its light Just as the bell called out the hour It vanished out of sight. ) Both lads had seen the gilded spire. Both heard the church tell rlnr: Their struggling thoughts were imea nigner. To one great central thing. The moon sent forth a hopeful ray, i And here and there a star broke through. The Blue moved nearer to the Gray, The Gray moved near the Blue. 1 The NEW UGHT-SIX now holds the five the Pacific Coast, a remarkable feature car, a stock touring car, within ten weeks 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 and Han Francinco. On February 24 the Studebaker 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 hours, 15 minutes and CO seconds. This record was made all the more remarkable on account of the car having to jro through a dense fog a distance of more than 100 miles between Tulare and Merced. The pilots were Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley. . 1 235 South SUNDAY MORNING, MAY die " So spoke the one In Blue J -Would you bring home my last good-bye? I'd do that much for you."

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 minutes, or 1 hour 4 minutes slower than the record 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.
