When the chickens are allowed to pass
through the windows, they find them
selves on an 1S-foot run, all boarded and

the chickens, when the windows are up

Great care is exercised with the chicks
in the brooder house and they are kept
there about weeks in winter and about

Besides the farm proper Mr.. Hart has
a number of shady and extensive houses
and runs 20 the right of the regular

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
BY AER0PLANE NOW

LONDON, May 2O.-Eighteen hours
across the Atlantic ocean by aeroplane
is the prediction for 1920 made by Mr..
A. B. Roe, an eminent aerial expert of
England according to Mr.. Roe, evolu-
tion of aeroplanes tends a craft of con-
struction which will be proved both air
worthy and seaworthy, thus enabling
them to glide to the surface of the water
in case of accident, and rest there while
the necessary repairs are being made.
Already says Mr.. Roe, aerial evo-
luton is setting in toward the acceptance

within the next ten years, regular aero
plane lines win be established between
New York and London, making the
journey well within the 1S-hour limit"

 He said he had not been permitted to attend the coroner's inquest and that probably gave rise to the runior that he had withdrawn.
 Mrs. Poole, the prisoners wife, Grace Poole. the daughter, and Emory Poole, the son, who has been the leader in the investigation, are under bonds as witnesses. Mrs Poole and the daughter signed their own bonds, while 30 farm CTS eagerly attached their names to Emory Pooe's bond.
 There is a rumor here that the pris- oner will be taken to Lafayette for safekeeping for the six weekS until the grand jury meets, but Sheriff Shackel- ton would neither confirm or deny the report
 The search of the Poole farm for corpses continues today, but with less enthusiasm and people here are begin ming to doubt that other bodies will be found.
