Letter from California

Parlier, Calif. March 20, 1922

Dear Friend and Cousin: --

This finds us all well and we are already having nice
spring weather.

I am sending you a check for four dollars for your paper
that we are reading with interest. I was very glad for
your editorial of March second on "The Use and Mis-Use
of the Bible." I am glad for the truth in it and am glad
that the time has come that the truth can be told with
unrestricted freedom.

I have a store of my own now and am doing electric and
plumbing work. Have been busy since the first of the
year and prospects for the future are good.

Your Cousin J. A. Schumacher

Helps the Chickens Lay

Herman Miller has an ingenious arranngement in his
chicken coop on White street. Each evening about dusk he
turns on an electric light in the coop and makes his
biddies think it is noon instead of night and keeps them
scratching for two or three hours more. It is said that
some of his chickens get so sleepy they can't find the
roosts when the light is turned off, but Herman says
they produce more than enough eggs to pay for the light
in their "parlor."
