Storage charges are fifty cents bar

Those geese have seen their Sec

One of the party asked if tainted

The reply was that such meat was

storage:
100000 cattle.
100000 calves.
25,000,00G sheep and lambs, 50,.
900, 900 hogs
According to these figures from the
official guide book circulated only
among cold storage men. there is in
storage one entire animal for each
adult in the United States, with
enough whole animals left over to
give two to each family
This meat is being held in 55S cold
storage plants. In addition it may in

know that in seventy-eight'f fish freez-
ing plants in the country there are
fish waiting to be doled out that are

Then, besides, there are millions OF

The total value of meat and food

How She Identified Twins.

The Beverly twins, Fred and
Frank, were such exact counterparts
of each other that none of the neigh
bors could tell them apart and even
their mother sometimes had her
doubts. The resemblance is accentu-
ated by the fact that they are dressed
exactly alike.

Maine Checker Maker.

It seems inconceivable that two
men can be kept steadily employed
the year round making checkers, Yer
that is what is done in a mill at
Bethel. The average output of
checkers from this mill is 500 bar
rels. 1t has been as high as 1000
and down to 600, but 500 is the
average. This does not sound very
large, but when the figures are work
ed out it is found to be a lot. In
every barrel shipped there are 80,
900 checkers of the ordinary size,
while in 500 barrels there are 2S,-
100000 or 100000 sets of "a
checkers each. That is to say, with
the output of this Maine mill, g.
400, 0,000 persons could be playing

4 Dog in Good Humor.

Pa. Wherefore the old milkman

window to find out for certain that
all was safe.
But the new milEman didn't
know about the pets, pecuiarities.
so when Fido was eventually detach-
ed from the fleshiest part of the new
milkman's calf by the master of the
house the victim of the onslaught
began to express his mind with CON
siderable freedom.
'Keepin' a dog like that! he in
diEnantly exclaimed.
He's only playful, that's ALL in

something into the new milkman S
hand.
