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 will have to squawk when it comes to the poultry business. Here is 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 noise to get our name en the map yet. CASTLE ROCK. Robert Crooks was in town Sunday of last week. Mr. Nail bas completed another well on his ranch.
