XEfowen r^lnteßes Does It Pay Women to Be Modest? 5 set a great many letters from girls asking the question: "Does it pay Jo be modest?" Almost universally they answer their own query in the negative. They say that unless a girl will permit l > familiarities from the young men with m whom she associates she Js left beau ™ less, or, as one young woman pithily puts it. "Unless a girl will let her es cort kiss her good-night it is GOOD NIGHT for hers, for she'll never see him again." Other letters assert that a girl has to be a good sport, and not too par ticular, if she expects to receive any attention from men nowadays; and still other letters ask pathetically if there are.no more men who care for modest, shy, retiring girls. Queer comment is afforded on those letters by another letter which 1 received the other day from a man who says that the reason that he, and many other young men. do not marry is because they can find no more modest girls. This man declares that he is in the search for a shrinking violet sort of a wife, as Diogenes was on the search for an honest man, but that so far he had never found a girl with whom he could not take liber ties of speech and action, and so he remains a bachelor. Here are the masculine and the feminine points of view on the same subject, and It Is an illuminating one for girls. Men Lead Women Into Doing tlie Things they Condemn. It shows one of the most admira ble of man's dealings with woman, and that is the fact that a man will deliberately lead a woman into doing the very thing that he condemns her for doing. Also it shows a thing that experi ence has taught every older woman, but that no ignorant young girl knows and that is that practically every man] she meets puts her character through a sort of third degree to see how much i she will stand. A man, for instance, will urge a girl to drink, to take just a little j cocktail, or a glass or two of cham pagne, or to have one more high ball, and then he will speak of her with blighting contempt and say, "None of that drink stuff for the girl J marry." A man will tell a girl off colored stories, and loathe her for laughing at them. He will use every art, and wile, and persuasion to in duce her to kiss him, and suspect her because she does. Girls don't understand this. They see that the loud, free-and-easy sort of a young woman who put no re straints upon men. always seem to be - Make Your Hens Lay When Eggs Are High Anyone can get plenty of eggs when eggs are cheap —that's what makes them cheap.

SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 0. 1915. I having a grand good time. They see hordes of men swarming around Blowsibella, and hear of her going to this place and that place, and they think that her recipe for attract ing men must be the right one. So, although every fibre of their shrinking- maiden souls revolts at a caress from an unloved hand, or the touch of coarse lips, they feel that they mustn't ho too "nice," or squea mish, or old maidish, or else they will be left as wall flowers and receive no attentions from men. Such girls crucify their modesty to gain popu larity. They cheapen themselves because they are under the misapprehension that men only want bargain price fe minine society, while all the time what the man is looking for, and hop ing to find, is a girl who is a pearl above price, one so rare, so tine that she is worth all he has to give, and more. The girl does not realize that the very man who is tempting her is just trying out her strength of cha racter. just testing her loyalty to her ideals, and that in his heart he may really he praying that she will resist him. and renew his faith in the es sential purity and goodness of wo manhood. Ordinary Man Keren's Goodness anil Modesty in a Woman. [ Possibly there are cases where the villain still pursues innocent vir tue, but such instances are as rare as hen's teeth. There is nothing that tlie ordinary man so reveres as good ness and modesty in a woman, and when he sees a girl who wants to go straight, he is not only willing to help her, he is ready to defend her against Other men if necessity arises. Girls make no greater mistake than when they think that men do not care for modesty in a woman, it is the one quality they value above all others, and if they want proof of this, let! them look about them and see how seldom do they marry the Blowsi bella girl with whom they drink, and gamble, and swap double entender jokes. Not until men prefer the sun flower to the violet, the full blown rose to the bud, the bruised peach of | the dusty street fruit stall to the peach with the down still upon it. will they prefer the good sport gjrl to the modest girl when they come to pick out their wives. Modesty pays, girls. It pays in your own self-respect, and it pays in the admiration that it commands from men. Men are looking for mo dest girls to marry, and they are find ing it 'difficult to discover them in this age of decollete clothes and manners.

C ANCONAS H,r Louis Paul Grahum Anconas are the newest of the Mediterranean breeds to be introduced iu America and their cousins—the Leghorns, Minorcas and Spanish have performed so well as egg layers that the Ancona was accepted almost with out question. This breed was introduced Into England about 1880 and some time later into the United States. These specimens came from Italy and au thorities who have visited that coun try state that it is the common fowl of that country. In shape and size it resembles our Leghorns even to the white earlobes and lopped comb, has yellow legs and is a regular egg ma chine. Its plumage is black and mottled with white. This mottling is in the form or' a. small white tip to a black feather, and should occur on about every one in five. On exhibition specimens, solid white white on the feathers are regarded as Offers Splendid Opportunity to Entire Stock at Good Prices Unsuccessful Exhibitor Also Learns Much by Exchange of Ideas By V. lIH'KS Manager of Rancocas l'oultr.v Farms, Browns Mills, New Jersey, and Former President of American Poul try Association. Copyright, 1914 The smaller breeder should lake every possible advantage to exhibit feathers or too large mnrkings of at poultry shows and go Hl'ter the prizes. If lie wins, so much the bet ter. but even if he lows, he gains much knowledge by attending the shows, seeing the exhibits and dis cussing poultry with the leading men in tlie business. Also, he gets inspiration to try to land a prize the next time and by [so striving raises the standard of his own Hock. One of tlie main rewards of the prize winner is the opportunity to get higher prices for Ills stock and to advertise the same for tlielr super iority. Altogether, it is an interesiting and profitable game. The primary object, of course, for any breeder, large or small, to ex hibit at poultry shows is to win prizes. Too often the small breeder does not have the confidence in his own stock that it possesses the merit to win a prize. Often this '.vant of con fidence is misplaced, and frequently it is all too true that the birds ac tually do lack merit. If he makes a winning and obtains even a yellow or a white ribbon—the emblsrn of third and fourth places lie has some tangible reward for his trouble and pains in exhibiting. The ribbon itself has small intrinsic value, but the fact that a poultry judge has carefully examined the bird on which the award was placed and found that it comes near enough up in standard requirements to be worthy of a prem ium shows that the bird actually has merit. This award of merit is not only pleasing to the exhibitor, but also has a financial value. It makes it possible for him to sell his eggs, chicks and stock at prices above the commercial market value of eggs and stock. Without this award of merit he would probably sell his stock at. what poultry is worth per pound, and eggs at tlie open market price per dozen. Often the exhibitor who wins is so elated by his winning that he is not in the right frame of mind to care fully take to heart the lesson that he shouid learn in connection therewith, and the exhibitor who does not win frequently gets the most valuable as set of all. The loss of the coveted ribbon puts the i,oser in a brown study to see just why he lost out. This study shows him the weak points of his flock, and while be goes home sadder, yet he is wiser for the coming year's work. The most important value to the small breeder is the opportunity to compare his birds side by side with those bred and raised by others. lie is thus enabled to see whether he is making progress or slipping back. Ofttimes, a visit to a neighbor's flock in the yards fails to bring out the comparison between his neighbor's and his own Hock, but when the birds are placed side by side in the show room there is no escaping the com parison—whether favorable or unfa vorable. If he is fortunate enough to win the blue ribbon, this blue ribbon winner, selected by a judge who is an expert, stands for the nearest ideal to the standard. On the other hand, if he does not win first place he 'has the privilege of seeing the ideal bird, one that is nearer ideal than his own, and can thus compare and study the su periority and find out wherein his own bird is lacking. lie learns, too, that the perfect bird is yet to be obtained. Frequently the small breeder is afraid to make an exhibit because he sees in every one of his own birds a defect. Sometimes just because of slightly off-color in legs, a defective feather, or that the birds are not quite full in shape or plumage—he draws the conclusion that these imperfections will keep hitn frcm winning. He fails to reallzo that other breeders have the same dif ficulties to contend with, nnd that his own birds arc possibly better than ■ | undesirable. The hens are nonsitters except in i rare instances, and Anconas' eggs > j must be hatched either by hens of I other breeds or by artificial means. ! The chicks develop and feather rap- I idly like the Leghorns and speedily i reach laying maturity. It is not un -1 usual for early hatched pullets to lay i j at four months of age.

The winning of a prize puts him in ' contact with other breeders of his own variety. Many of these rival breeders are ready with questions and even unfavorable criticism of his j flock. Often the birds that win are I subject to discussion, both favorable jand unfavorable. This brings to their j owner's eyes the good and bad points 11 that he, as owner, may have over i looked. Yet, the impression should not he drawn that all criticisms is un favorable. The vast majority of it is of a character flattering to the win ning specimen. Poultry breeders are usually ready and willing to exchange ideas, and the owner of a prize win ner is always sought after for infor mation as to his methods of breeding and feeding. Thus the owner of prize winning birds has the opportunity to exchange ideas with those who are wanting information, and to ask and 1 receive information in return. After the judges have placed the ribbons on the birds, they are usually firm believers in the merits of those specimens and are ready to recount their good points, not only to the own ers of the birds, but also to other in terested parties. This is a valuable means of gaining information for the small breeder. At the same time the judge is a good advertisement for the merits of the breeder's stock. Many people naturally go to the judges for information as to the quality and good points of the winning birds. The value of a winning is also de termined to some extent by the num ber of people who see the winner. If there is a large attendance of people interested in poultry, the winning nat urally has more value, and the public ity is wider than if the show is poorly attended, or those who do attend have little or no interest in poultry, hut are merely curiosity seekers. The breeder has the privilege of distributing litera ture after the ribbons are up, and to meet and talk with visitors. In some shows there is excellent opportunity for selling stock, chicks and eggs, while at others the■ chief value lies in advertising the winning later through the sending out of catalogs, mailing lists and the press. There is much advertising value gained from the fact that the visitors to the show, the judges and officials of the show publish the fact of such winning from month to month, yet undoubtedly the greatest value comes from the printed publicity that fol lows the show. Ofttimes, the local newspapers publish the winnings of their own accord, and some of the poultry papers will publish the win nings "at the leading shows, yet this is of small value when compared with the results that may be obtained by the breeder himself advertising and announcing his winnings. If he has much for sale, it will pay him to issue a small catalog, showing his winnings and his matings from which he has eggs and chicks fo sell. He should also take space in the daily newspa pers, the farm and poultry journals, commensurate with the value of the winnings he has made, and the amount of stock or products he has for sale. If he has but little to sell, a few lines in the classified column of his local daily or weekly newspaper will no doubt be sufficient to enable him to dispose of all he desires and I Poultry Appliances That Save Labor The poultryman can reduce his arduous tasks by a little foresight and some extra work thrown in at the start. There are many little appliances that can be made at home &t small expense and still others which can probably be bought more advantageously. But whether homemade or manufactured elsewhere the ap pliances should be simple, easi.y cleaned and placed for the great est convenience.
