We
had no idea it was so "disgusting" for farmer's wives to talk over the phone
concerning the number of chickens they were raising or the number of eggs they
were selling. The egg and poultry business is one of the most important in our

farmer's wife, and good housekeepers too who not only pay all the grocery bills
with egg and poultry money, but also pay clothing and hardware bills. God bless
them, they have a right to talk all they please about their chickens and hen's
eggs. It is much more commendable than talking about their neighbors..

RESOLUTIONS
Stockton, Kansas, March 2, 1910
Stockton Post
No. 79,
Comrades:-
WHEREAS, the Great Commander in His wisdom has seen fit
to call another comrade from our Post, Capt. D. N. Hamilton, be it resolved that
we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.
There is a second
flag draped in mourning in our Post room; another gap in the ranks that cannot
be filled. His march was faithful and after life's battles he sleeps well.
For the place that shall know him no more, forever is loneliness; for the wife
and children there is sympathy of many loving hearts; but above and beyond all
the human side is the beautiful divine thought of a finite life completed.
