THIS MONTH GROWN HENS
SHOW DECLINE IN PRICE.
During the llrst two weeks of tho
present mouth, one local produce
dealer has shipped 0,000 dozen eggs,
or thirty cases, notwithstanding tho
fact that the rainfall has been execs
slve and tho roads In bad shape. Tho
local market for chickaus and eggs Is
getting better and the farmer who
raise poultry as a side Ittsue makes
money, with but little trouble. Tho
demand for chickens is so great
that to Hood thu market Is almost an
impossibility.
Just nt present tho best demand ox
1st for broilers and frying size chick
ens and but little dc-nund for g'rowu
hens. The pi Ice on 1' us hns declined
with thu past two or three days and
are worth about 7 cents per pound
wholesale, which will make a hen
worth about 30 to -10 cunts for tho
farmer. Kggs nt this time uro selling

The farmer who raises good chick
ens, such as Plymouth Hocks and

tho fact that one Plymouth Hock hen
will weigh us much as two ordinary
hens and thu cost ot raising a Plym

WILL CAUCUS ON PROCEEDURE
This Is No Doubt the Result of the
Statement of Chairman J. O.
Thompson of the State Dem
ocratic Committee.
Guthrie. Okla., May 15. (Special!
Spurred to action by the slinging
philippic against republican Insincer
ity mid misrepresentation, given out
by Chairman J. II. Thompson, of tho
democratic state committee, In an
Interview last week, the republican
members of the state legislature nrv
planning to cull a caucus to delcdo
on certain amendments to tho statu
constitution to be offered In either
branch of the legislature at the pres
ent session.
Tho calling of tho caucus comes
as u direct result of the Interview
given out by Chairman Thompson
In which he proves the absolute In
sine rlty of republican papers and re
publican politicians by showing that,
although they condemned the Okla
homa constitution during tho cam
paign last fall as the most Iniquit

diately amend It the constitution hns

ber of tho caucus believes that nny
of tho amendments will bo nccepted

ple. Aa proof of this It Is only nec
essary to point out that the repub-
llcan caucus was not called until
after tho ibjmocratlilTmaJorlty of
tho legislature has decided In cau
cus .than no new bills or propositions
ot any nuturo would bo considered
at this session. Safe, through tho
operations of this majority resolu
tion, from being forced to defend, on
tho floor of tho houso or senate, the
amendments that they offer, tho re
publican members feel Mint they may
may bo able to devise l rtain amend

campaign thunder.
No Intimation has been given out
as to the nature of any of tho
nnieiidtnenth. It is rumored that an
amendment to the state constitution
eliminating tho provision for a stato
dispensary system from the prohibi
tion article had been seriously con
slderod and probably would liuvo
passed the caucus had Senator Har
per S. Cunningham of Guthrlo not
pointed out to his political associ

will be shipped back to Dayton, Ohio,
whoro tho craft will bo rebuilt and
tho practice work continued, probably
at this jtolut.
Tho cause ot the nccldent Is not
dellnltrly known, but It Is supposed
that while going nt a rapid speed tho
operator pullud tho wrong lever and
sent the machine downward instead
of upward, us ho had Intended.
I lad tho machine continued In tho
air for another three miles It would
have beaten ten miles continuous
