All the pain is not on the farm row Only ooze HE owners of the White Hills chicken farm, Missouri, are mad—that’s flat, and no wonder. They have 1,000 hens, and the latter, seduced by brilliant electric lights, have long been laying day and night. A short time ago the lighting system broke down and the hens roosted instead of laying 1,000 eggs a day, as before. Twenty days went by before the necessary repairs were made, and then the hens did not respond. They only turned in about 400 eggs, a loss of 600. Now the farm owners have sued the electric company for $5,000, alleging that the latter’s del enabled the hens to discover the deception that had be practiced on them and to resolve never to be fooled again. It’s a fine point, but, no matter how the law may decide, there are indications at the farm that it was folly for the hens to grow wise to the foul plot against them. It is eggs or the ax for them.

Some smart chaps have figured out answers to thi question and made fortunes. A lot of wisenheimers have thought they knew the answer, and have lost their all before they discovered other- wise. A man who didn’t make a fortune, yet who didn’t lose anything by knowing what folks like, was Theodore Roose- velt, Sr., who in 1894 organized a campaign which raised money to found the Bronx zoo. The zoo celebrated its 25th anniversary the other day and its managers estimated that since T. R. started the show it had furnished amusement for 40,000,000 visitors.
