Cox of Cades/Williamsburg county, re ceived a labor income of $5.91 from a demonstration flock of 90 Rhode Island Red hens in 1930. These hens laid a total of 14,939 eggs, or an average of 180.42 per hen, which she sold for $666.17, this be ing the largest source of income from the flock. Poultry sales And increase in stock composed the rest of the to tal income of $979.51. The total expenses made up of feed cost, $339.08; stock and eggs bought, $55.95; miscellaneous expenses, $4.50; and depreciation and inter est, $46.35; was $445.68, leaving a labor income of $533.83, or $5.91 per bird. In discussing the demonstration flocks in this county, County Agent L. S. Carter says, “They have not been as profitable this year as in J929 due to the low prices of poultry and eggs. However, the demonstrators are not discouraged and are gradually increasing their flocks. One of the ladies is keep ing her son in college with the proceeds of her flock. The records show that where the greatest care was used in carrying out the rec ommendations, there was a great er increase in profits.” X Once upon a time, when a man was in love, the barber and the candy store got rich; now the fill ing stations get rich.

Bad News Comes Out Making Flying Safe Calvin Coolidge has written his opinion that old-age pensions are not advisable. Says he: “What a self- respecting people really needs is not a system of old-age pensions but a population made sufficiently skilled by education and sufficiently con trolled and well disposed by the help of religion, so that old-age pensions would be a superfluity. Unless real reform comes from within, the prob lem will never he solved.” Education may some day provide for old age. Meanwhile, what “self- respecting old people” want is some thing to eat, and a place to sleep out side of the poor house. They have plepty of religion, but can’t eat it, unfortunately. After you have taken all the work out of an old horse, you should either knock him on the head or feed him. After it has taken all the work out of old men and women, their country can’t knock them on the head and. therefore, having had their work, it ought to feed them. The world needs more gold, and may get it. France and Uncle Sam now control the world’s supply, France with the highest per capita gbld re serve. Hard times have sent pros pectors back to hills and mountains, their “good times easy Jobs” in cities having vanished. You see more and more of them traveling the western desert country, each, in his years of prospecting, probably passing great fortunes a dozen times. To prospect is one thing, to find is another. These men often spend a lifetime without reward. More money has been put into gold mines and gold hunting than has ever been taken put. But even the oldest prospector never looks discouraged. Hope is back of the sun burned face and gray beard, and for tune is always just ahead. You needn’t feel sorry for him. Trying is the only thing jn life worth while—possession is nothing. And he is trying, and full of hope. A young gentleman spending his dead father’s money in a fashion able gambling house might well envy the old prospector seeking a “grub stake” for just one more trip. . Wise men that invest in American values, foolish people that gamble In those values,will probably be deceived as to real conditions during the next few months. The bad news of 1930 will come out now, in the corporation reports show ing what happened, profits down, gloomy change in earnings. And this will frighten those that do not realize conditions. Dozens of these sad statements will come out, and the foolish will say: “Everything is going to the dogs, I shall sell what I have.” The fact is that things are coming back, having “gone to the dogs” last year. If you are wise you will hold what you have. The healthy man has his little Ill nesses, Uncle Sam has Just had his. The situation is described by Otto H. Kahn, accurately, thus: “In a few years we shall look back and find it hard to believe that the best American properties once sold at today’s ridicu lous prices.” Television, which means “seeing afar,” has its real beginning, and in the usual way. Men made tools of bronze to kill each other more easily than with flints, and the iron age came to supply better killing tools. Now bronze and iron are useful apart from killing. Television is used to flash stock quotations, a whole row of them, to any earthly distance in a fraction of a second, making the stock ticker as old-fashioned as the stage coach. Young Mr. Vincent Astor, catching turtles on the Galapagos islands, could have on his yacht an instrument that would show him, be fore any Wall street man could know if, that he made a mistake buying sugar stocks. Later television will be useful apart from stock speculation. Some Ein stein, Moses. Maimonides or Spinoza of the future may be seen and heard by the whole world standing on Mount Ararat, sending out a message of vital importance that nobody but him self will understand. Gandhi Is freed by Britain after nine months in a comfortable jail, an*d is said to find freedom oppressive. Leading 320,000,000 Asiatics is not an easy task, when 60,000,000 of them Insist on killing the others, and there is no particular place to which they can be led. Drive Britain out of In dia and millions would die off or he killed off every year, and Gandhi, in telligent and well meaning, knows It. Of all scientific discoveries made accidentally one of the strangest comes from Joliet, 111. Doctor Weaver ordered a transfusion of “parent’s” Mood, in the case of a fifteen-year-old girl suffering from infantile paralysis. Another doctor misunderstood Mm to say “parrot’s” blood, and accord- ! Ingly made a transfusion of Mood from the heart of a living parrot. Doctors say the child is getting well. A thousand doctors will exclaim “bosh.” (©, 1981, by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) a LET IKE MESSENGER DO YOUR JOB PRINTING —00— —00— —00— We are prepared to do various kinds of job printing neatly and promptly and solicit your orders for Ruled Letterheads 1 ■ v I Typewriter Letterheads ; Noteheads Billheads ' • ^ 4 ■ ^ t r ■ i » : • 4?' . * Statements ■ I » • r » i * r ? in fj !:]•<■ 4 \ . j i.- • * i t • " 'i • !! • ' ' | i I . • : i •• ■ i ! n r j ~ n I ! r. if t ,, : „n' i ! i u & *1 . !< i 1 I ' 11 .
