Chicken Exhibit
Great Attraction

Today is certainly Chicken Day in
Honolulu and IF YOU entertain any
doubts on that score Just run over
to the rifle shed of the National Guard
of Hawaii where the Hawaiian Poul
try Association are holding their an
nual show
Before you enter the building the
chorus of growing heralds the fact that
there is something unusual stirring in
local chickendom. Enter and you
find arrayed for your instruction and
your eyes delight the cream of the
great and honorable family of domestic
fowls. Every bird whose name figures
in the chickens Who's Who seems to
have been cooped for the show and to
taken great pride in the fact
What an impressive array the birds ,
make and what lie they give to the
| too often reiterated libel that one can't !
raise chickens in Hawaii.
There are comfOrtable-lOoki Ply |
mouth Rocks, portly Brahams, glossy |
Black Minorcas, lordly Buff Orping- |
tons, fussy little White crested Black |
