Where the Eggs Come From.
Union of all Protestant C hurches.
The chicken ranch is a common
enough enterprise in any com­
munity.
Despite the failures,
there are men who have made
fortunes, or excellent livelihoods,
by devoting themselves to a busi­
ness full of hazards. Chicken fan­
ciers are legion. They are every
where and each swells the account
of the billion dollar egg and
poultry industry.
Yet the tabulations so far made
by the census bureau show that it
is not the specialists whp contrib­
ute most to the markets. It is the
farmers bothering little about
“ breeds.” keeping from a dozen
to a hundred or so hens. With
them chicken raising and egg pro­
ducing are a side line. It is often
left entirely to the womenfolk and
theirs are the returns from sales.
But though there seems no organ­
ization about the raising of chick­
ens and though the product comes
from the farm without regularity
or system, the trainloads of eggs
and chickens which traverse the
country have their beginnijyL-at
the farms. The farmer has been
pronounced the natural poultry-
man. He is not likely to be dis­
placed.
The international convention of
church union for all i Protestant
churches met in Portland during
the last two weeks and increased
the number on the committee
from nine to twenty-five.
That the unionization of al,
Christian churches of the world
is possible was the general opin­
ion of ministers of various sects
who met with the convention and
adopted resolutions favoring an
active campaign along that line-.
The resolutions pledged to do
every thing possible jn the cause
of the great union of churches
and will proceed along the lines
of getting the churches together in
spirit rather than attempting to
combine the doctrines into one
which would be acceptable to all
churches. It was said that the doc­
trinal phase must be eliminated
and the union brought about by
the forming of a church with one
God and one Christ.
At a recent conference of the
Episcopalian, Presbyterian and
Congregational churches held in
New York city much was accom­
plished toward unity and a session
was arranged for five years hence
at which time it is believed the
question will be well along to­
ward solution.
The
international
Sunday
School lessons, the Young M en’s
and Young W om en’s Christian
Associations, the Christian En­
deavor Society, the Student Vol­
unteers, the Laymen’s Mission­
ary Movement and the Men and
Religion Campaign among Pro­
testants, and the temperance or­
ganizations among the Protestants
and Roman Catholics are making
great contributions to the solution
of this problem.
While the embarrasment on the
foreign field, rivalry instead of
comity in the home land, the in­
creasing sensitiveness of the public
to a divided house and the grow­
ing consciousness of dishonor to
the great head of the church are
forming a tide, before which no
obstacle shall hinder its advance,
and there can be no other expla­
nation of this rising tide other
than the church is getting ready
for the answer.
Socks come high, but they
must have ’em, seems to be the
slogan of tfie hosiery makers. At
their convention in Philadelphia,
May 24th, they decided to follow
the Standard Oil decision of the
U S supreme court and have a
reasonable trust. They shut their
mills down a third in output by
May 31st, and now they say they
must shut down entirely during
July, August and a part of Sep­
tember.
It is estimated that a
reduction of half has been reached
in normal production of hosiery,
cotton, worsted, cloth and dress

Heat In The East.
Burrial permits for one week
ending July 7th in Chicago were
842 and the health board expect­
ed next day to isiue permits for
100 additional. Not all of these
are direct victims of the heat, but
a large percentage is in that class.
Ninety of the number were strick­
en dead by the sun.
The total number of deaths was
300 more than the previous week
and the mortality among the ba­
bies was more than doubled. One

Dispatches from Galveston say
that thousands of cattle are perish­
