A F owl Assertion.
Inspired by the recent statement
that in a year the egg and poultry
product of the United States
' amounted to JjSo.ooo.ooo, one of
and enters with some interesting
comparisons. It justifies the cack
'llua of the barnyard fowl by point
ing out that the total value of gold,
silver, wool and sheep produced in
this country during the year in
question was $27.434.3'5- The
hen's contribution to our wealth is
still more strikingly brought out
when we place leside it the value
of some of our more important
crops.
Counting only the part consumed
at home our wheat is worth $209,
000,000; our hogs, $186,529,035;
oats. 7S,oS7,ooo; potatoes, almost
the same; tobacco, estimated at
M5.579.225: while cotton, once the
king of staples, could show only
$259,161,640 to compare with the
magnificent earnings of its feather
ed rival. The crop of flax, tim
othy, clover, millet and cane seeds
from corn, castor oil beans, hay,
straw, etc., could not, all told, come
within a measurable distance of
many millions of the poultry pro
ducts. The eggs produced in this
country would fill 43,127,000 crates 1
each of these holding 360 eggs; al
so, a train of refrigerator cars to
carrv these eggs would be nearly
yoo miles long; furthermore, it
would take 107,818 such cars to
make up a train.
But just at this point, when tne
writer has given biddy cause to
burst with pride, he iujects the re
mark that competent investigators
have demonstrated that eggs at 12
cents a dozeitare a cheap source of
nutriment, at 16 cents somewhat
expensive and at 25 cents and over,
highly extravagant. The Oregon
hen could never afford to work for
iw v.'2C s"Cg"t?i, not even ii
merchants should adopt the penny
change system.
We presume this is another ot
those veiled attempts to ruin tn
chicken business; one of those sub
tle, deep-laid, secretly batched yel
low perils we have heard about so
much.
5siiire is all richt. but taste still
governs. The man who wauts
eggs is apt to have eggs. The man
who wants ham will buy ham as
long as the price is anywhere with
in teach. Most consumers depend
on their feelings more than on the
tables of the statisticians. They
think natural cravings indicate
need for some particular diet and
they act on the claim that nature is
right.
The egg industry has grown to
its tremendous bulk and importance
because people like eggs and ea
eggs and call for more, and not be
cause some person has figured it
out that eggs at the ruling price
furnish the proper quantities of nu
triment as cheaply as baled bay.

Notice,
I take this method ol calling at
tention of the merchants of this
county to the laxity displayed by
them in the sale of cigarettes and
tobacco to minors. The violation
of this law was forcibly illustrated
in a case in court last week Mon
day, January 27th. briefly stated;
A boy of 12 years of age had pur
chased tobacco and cigarettes of a
number ot merchants in plain vio
lation of the statutes of this state.
I shall consider it my duty to pros
ecute all offenders of this law here
after. Kindly familiarize your
selves with the provisions thereof.

The practice now is to issue cer

given the certificate ot delinquency.
The certificates may be redeemed

At the expiration of three years,
the holder of the certificate secures
