protest against the chicken null
sance. Several have reported that
their yards and gardens have been
badly damaged during the past
week by neighbors' chickens. A
man can't claim to be a good, law
abiding citizen so long as he per-
mits his chickens to annoy his
neighbors, and a city that passively

Medicine Lodge is one of the few
towns in Kansas that refuses to
take notice of the chicken nuisance.

each case was an excellent cake.
A nice program was rendered and
ice cream, cake and coffee were
served. A large crowd attended
and there was merriment galore.
