Chickens come high now days. but
we must have them at all cost. "Un-
Gle Billy" Kramer, while driving along
the country roads the other day hap
| pened to run across a fine appearing
young chick. weighing about five
pounds, that looked good to him and
made his thoughts turn to his Sunday
dinner He sure would have that
preached the house and inquired OF the
| lady whether this particular chicken
could be bought. Sure the lady sold
many chickens and would be pleased
to sell Uncle Billy" this fine speci-
men. Seventy-five cents was the
price: feathers. feet and all.
With visions of fancy spread for
his MONDAY meal on Sunday "Uncie
| Billy wandered home and safely land
| ed his new prize in his barn. But he
| forgot to lock the door. Friday morn
ing the chicken house was visited and
| found wanting. Mr.. or Mrs. chicken
had departed during the hours Of the
eclipse of Mars and had failed to leave
| his or her address. 1t seems Uncle
Billy has a couple Of T. P. A. neigh
bors who are also fond of chicken. At
, first John Dickman. living immediate
| ly north was charged with the crime
but he prove an alibi, being in Bed
| ford at the time. Nothing was left to
| do but to charge the missing fowl to
| his other T. P. A. brother, Ed Thatch-
er. From past experience, Uncle
Billy was quite sure that Ed. was
always ready for chicken. He ques-
toned Ed at great length and finally
| forced him to admit that he was to
/ have a fine chicken for his Sunda !
] dinner. Further than this. Ed would
admit nothing. Meanwhile Uncle
! Billy has procured a large paddock
| and now fastens his doors securely. He
also is wondering whether Ed will in,
vite him over to dinner today.
