The junior clerk in Ford & Hans
CONS wholesale meat house, Charley
Corey, was arguing with the book
keeper at Pollard Brothers refrigerat-
ing-plant on Commercial Wharf.
"Mr. Remy"-Remy was Ford e
Honscom's manager-"says the ex-
press left those FIVE boxes of chickens
here Saturday"
Well. I'm sure it 'dn't!" snapped
the bookkeeper. He was tired with
adding figures through the long, hot
August day.

Charley went out to the wharf

nets of silver herring were being
hoisted to the loft over the freezing
floor, he unhasped the double-thick

OF previous trips, he threaded the
narrow, electric-lighted alleys be-
tween boxes piled ceiling-high, and
soon was climbing the first stairway,
slippery with frost and grease. An
other flight took him to floor three.
Remy had told him to rummage the
plant from top 70 bottom for that
poultry.
How cold today?" he asked
man in thick REFER and mittens,
spreading fish on boards between
fuzzy white layers of ammonia pipes.
Just zero

il is outside" commented Corey, as
he began exploring for the chickens.
A careful search discovered moth
ing with Ford & Hanscom's mark.
The story Below yielded no better re-
suits. Returning to the ground floor.
he found the street door open, and
several men hustling in boxes and
barrels from a newly arrived car, and
stacking them everywhere for the
night. even in the passages. BY the
time he had convinced himself that
the missing birds were not there, it
was fourteen minutes to six, and he
was nearly frozen.
'Ill look over a little OF the cellar,
and finish tomorrow morning" he
decided.
Lifting trapdoor. and pushing its
edge under a notched stick fastened
to the wall, he descended a short
fight OF steps. At the dimly Nlumined
end OF the first alley he came upon
case stenciled Ford & Hanscom."
Close by he found the four others.
Corey waited for nothing more. His
watch said Ave minutes to six. A
tremendous banging and humping
overhead told that the men were
making haste. He hurried toward the
scuttle.
Springing up the stairs, he slipped,
and caught at the edge of the door.

My sea is splendid to behold;
It's top is all a shimnering light,

But just a lovely kind of pink;
The shore is sugar, white and clean,
Which makes the water good to

CINCINATTI, Nov. 23-It all de-
pends on the hens now. If industrious
each hen will become a veritable
goose that lays tho golden eggs"
The directors of the Cincinnati Poul-
try and Pet Stock Association rejoice
at the vista that opens before them,
for IT is as rich as the yolk of any
XXX Best Selected" egg. such as
adorns the tables Of millionaires only
nowadays. The associations annual
FIVE days show will open soon. Yes
terday Secretary Rightmire received a
bid for the egg privilege" of the
show.
The bidder. a responsible man. writes
that at previous shows the eggs laid
by the hens on exhibition have been
gathered by the attendants and eaten
either raw or after being cooked in
primitive fashion over the fires which
keep the temperature of the show
rooms up to a certain degree. He
offers to buy all the eggs laid at the
show at a price only a shade lower
than that paid in the open market
The directors contended that any egg
laid at the show becomes the property
of the association, just as an egg your
neighbor's hen lays on your land be-
comes your egg.
A thousand well-bred chickens are
exhibited at the show. of which the
vast majority are hens with much
pride of ancestory and great hope OF
posterity The directors think that the
vanity Of these hens can be easily
stimulated while they are on show so
that they will outdo all their previous
efforts at laying. The eggs Of such
hens should bring the highest prices.
So the association itself may go into
the egg business during the show.

A committee comprised OF County

ae..
The Junior order United American
Mechanics. which has agreed to furnish
all public schools with flags needing them,
In letter to the board wanted assurance
that the flags would be flown at all times.
It appears that in the past the school flags
have been unfurled to the breeze only on
the first day OF the week and on legal
holidays, In order to save the life Of
them.
As the Jr o. u. A. NJ. agrees to fur
nish the flags when needed, the secretary
was instructed to notify that order that
they viii be flown on all suitable days.
Chairman Cooper. OF the teachers COM
mittee. reported that an extra room was
opened in School No 20 because Of the ex-
cess of scholars in that school and that
an extra teacher had also been employed
The committee was given authority 10
make similar provisions at School No. o.
Chairman Sullivan of the manual train
ing school comittee, reported that the
manual training school teachers ask per-
mission to use the funds received from
manual training supplies to install self
oilers on the shafting in the school.
Action on the matter was deferred for
two weeks.
Mr. Sullivan moved that the old ma
chine shop at school No. 2s formerly the
High School. be turned into a sewing
room. He said the expense would be about
$3.50.
There was some opposition to making
the alterations because Of the cost and
