The New and the Old.
Governor Foss of Massachusetts,
tells of a well known divine who was
visiting the state's prison when he
came across a prisoner whose features
were familiar to him. "What brought
you here, my poor fellow?" he asked.
"You married mo to a woman a little
while ago, sir" the prisoner replied
with a sigh. "Ah, I see" said the
parson: "and she was domineering
and extravagant, and she drove you
to desperate courses, eli?" "No,"
?aid the prisoner, "my old woman
turned up. "
The merchants of lone shipped
ut of the vicinity last year 40,0(0
dozen eggs, the home consumption
H-ine about 3.000 dozen. Now when i
vou figure these eggs at 15 cents n
lozen, which was the lowest prioe paid
list year at any time, it amounts to
6,430.00 and the merchants paid ss
iiigh as 40 cents a dizen for a good
tart of them. A great many people
lo not realize what the hen means to
us a year like the last has been. Let
us all try and raise a few more chick
ens and take a little better care of
them and you will be greatly sur
prised what a help it will be towards
keeping the pot boiling.
Hood River papers commenting on

what lone is doing : There is not a
month of the- year that we do not
ship eggs to Hood River. During
1911 our merchants shipped 4290 dozen
eggs and t50 pounds of poultry to
Hood River dealers and had calls for
more. lone, op to the present time
this year, has shipped in over 600 egg
cases. Our hens will make enough
