I read a story of an old hen
that had sprouted a rooster’s
comb and one day forsook her
chickens, hopped on the fence
and crowed. Well, that hasn’t
got my tale beat much. One of
my neighbors has an old roost-
er that is setting on a nest of
eggs. He says it is the hottest
job he ever tackled and if he
ever gets through mothering
this brood he will take winter
for it next time. He says it is
not such hard work but is so
constant. Who knows but what
nature may be fixing to change
this thing and have us men

bies to the babies. I bet the
women wish it could be. But

When fire insurance in a

amount insured, it is high time
something was done about it.
We need and must have a water
system. We need it for its con-
venience, its protection to
health, and to reduce the fire
insurance rate, which with a
maximum penalty now attach-
ed for a poor fire record, is al-
most beyond reason. Another
reduction in the rate could be
secured by the purchase of a
second watchman's clock. Bus-

the services of a nightwatch-
man for years, but the failure
to buy another clock, make ap-
plication for the reduction and
then turn in the clock dials,
has denied us a substantial sav-
