Lea's Wishbone Hatchery has a oapajcity of 10,000 eggs. To the average farmer who has from a few dozen hens to several hundred, Mr. Lee has a special message; and this is as follows: "Any farmer will find It to his advantage to send me his eggs rather; than putting a laying hen on the Job. There will be a de cided advantage in bringing- me the eggs and forget all about them for three weeks while the big incubator is doing the work. It is more convenient and also a money saving plan to let the in cubator' do the hatching." Mr. Lee also says that breeders are finding It to their Interests to take advantage of the Wishbone Hatchery as by sending their sur plus eggs to the hatchery,, the business capacity of the breeder is increased. , Heretofore the type ofnenbat or, like the one owned by Mr. Lee, has been available only to men engaged extensively in the poultry business.: But now, with the Wishbone Hatchery located Just two milea east of Salem, the man wun just a few dozen hens has the' same advantage in batching as the owner of a thousand hens The Wishbone Hatchery solves the hatching problem for the owner of a small flock as well as for the man who Is exclusively in the poultry business, Mr. Lee said.

' Five rural routes' radiate from the city. In every direction, while the paved Pacific highway ex tends directly through the town, with an hourly stage between Sa lem and Portland, furnishing ex cellent facilities for transporta tion by regulated public convey ance or private motor to all points in the valley.

His success In this line of work is due not only to his thorough knowledge of LLOYD A. LEB the business, but also to tae fact that he is a very careful worker, attends strictly to business and also the fact that his growing business is built upon honesty. Just a few years ago Mr. Lee started in the poultry business with 500 hens of the Tom Barron strain. After years of work with small incubators, be found the de mands for his services in the hatchery line were growing so fast that it became necessary to install a Wishbone mammoth in cubator with a capacity of 10,000 eggs. As soon as it became known among poultry men that Mr. Lee was in position to take care of extra business in hatching, orders began to pour in until the big in cubator has been kept busy on the Job. However, . Mr. Lee says there Is always room tor more, as a 10,000 Incubator is capable of turning out a lot of chickens. And it might be said that the eggs are more than 1000 pounds of butter- fat monthly, this representing only a small part of the amount shipped from tributary territory. A recent survey of the- cattle within a twelve mile radius showed 5000 milk cows. The city itself is picturesque not only because of its hillside lo cation, but by reason of its his tory as well. Settled by a colony of thrifty Germans from Missouri some 60 yeara ago, the town developed wonderful activity. Flour and lumber mills were put in operation, warehouses erected, hotels and bar rooms in full action, while stage lines in all directions radiated into the tich country surrounding. Many of thee industries fell - by the wayside on the coming of the rail road, while others dropped out oh the arrival of prohibition. Many of the original colony, from vari ous causes, removed from the im- ' mediate locality, but settled . up and down the valley from Port land to the state capitol at Salem. However, a large portion of these, or their descendents, still live in the immediate vicinity, while the location, the natural resources, the beautiful and healthful conn try still remain to furnish incen tive to other and larger activities for those .who are able to avail themselves of the opportunities. The city owns its own water system, getting water from a pure artesian well, the finest in the land, and its own fire fighting ap paratus. It also has a free auto park. Close at hand within the borders of the city is a private park on the banks of the Pudding 9 Mnmmnfh Inrnhnfnri turned by machinery, not by hand. Each 200 egg apartment is separ ate with independent temperature control. "Custom hatching is not only more economical than buying baby chicks." Mr. Lee said, "but every farmer has the satisfaction of knowing that the chicks he takes home from the Wishbone Hatchery, are from the eggs he brought. I?y the system used, each order of eggs for hatching is kept in a separate compartment of the hatchery." Mr. Lee went into the poultry business in 1916. Later he stud ied and worked with li. A. George at-Petaluma, Calif., working with an incubator of 25,000 capacity. Then he took a course in poultry at the Oregon Agricultural col lege, and for more practical ex perience, was "associated with J. A. Hansen, near Corvallis. in charge of a Newtown Giant incu bator of 16,000 capacity. Then to get more experience, he went to the 1). Tancred poultry ranch near Kent, Wash., where he had full charge ot two incubators with a capacity of 24,000 eggs. All of which accounts for the remarkable success Mr. Less has had in the hatchery business. He knows he can not only save the farmer with a flock of hens a lot of trouble with hatching, but also that financially speaking, it is far better to, "Let the incubator do the work." it would be misleading to .urge that "anybody" could come to the Willamette Valley and grow rich with poultry, or fruit, on a small acreage. This, is subject to natur al laws; industry, and intelligence, and adaptability and even blind luck, determine success or failure and not the number of acres.

Its location is right on the edge ot the valley, so it has an agricultural resource on oi.e side 'and lumbering and mill ing from the other direction. The various activities incidental to lumbering and milling bring a tremendous payroll to this town. The Douglas fir lumber from this locality commands the top price In the markets of the United States. Nature has also bten kind to this locality. Falls City is or. the Luckiamute river, and excel lent fishing is afforded near by aud deer abound in the hills back of the town. Thousands of vaca tionists visit this locality, as there are numerous charming nooks in the hills along the small streams that make camping a pleasure. Falls City has a number of ac tive business houses, as is evi denced by the advertisements on this page. In addition to the big lumber companies that operate the mills and logging camps, many of those living on the small places keep a considerable flock of chickens, and dairying is be coming more popular with the farmers near by.

An X-ray laboratory is one of the features and with the use of such an instrument all of the guess work in analysis is de stroyed, according to Df. Scofield. the junior member of the firm. Pictures are made of every case where there is any doubt of ana lytic correctness. O. L. Scott ia probably one of the best known chiropractors in the state and is a Palmer school graduate. H. B. Scofield, 4 like wise a Palmer school graduate, while only here approximately two years, has made mai.y friends among lis patients. Another of, the " exceedingly complimentary features of the of fices In mind, is their tri-weekly free clinic for grade school children."- The free adjustment from analysis to cure all school chil dren has proven a popular idea and at present time nearly 100 children visit the clinic on Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays. This service is free and any child may join is on any of the sched uled days. Personal study and analysis 1b afforded every client of the firm, and special rooms for the treat ment of men and women is pro vided,1 guaranteeing privacy and comfort.

Most states now offer the chirfipractor an oppor tunity to enter the field with little of the former opposition that ac companied their initial entree. According to Dr, Scofield there are a lot of people termed '!Bills" who, without any real information on any subject, are willing to condemn the subject without apology. TLi3 disposition was ob taining when Columbus sailed against the rumors that the world was square and he was insane for taking the chance of dropping off the edge into mere space, and from then on down to the present day there have been a goodly lot Of "Bills" still rockius their minds to find anything that may be condemned without investiga tion or understanding.
