LOCAL HENS ARE

One Fancier Has a Dozen Birds Civ

Eggs Each Day.

If all poultrymen were as successful
as several local chicken fanciers claim
to be, there would be no occasion for
the prevailing fancy prices for fresh
eggs. Just now "hen fruit" Of the
strictly fresh variety is almost as
scarce as hens teeth and retails at so
cents per dozen. If the price continues
to go up, it will be cheaper to eat dia-
monds or quit eating entirely. The big
poultrymen of the country say the hen
is not doing her duty, but such is not
the case in Rock Island

FAIR AND COLDER
SIGN COMES OUT
Just as Though 1t Was Not Bad
Enough Between 8 and 8
This Morning.
OFFICIAL MARK IS BELOW
Indications According to Weather
Man Are That Thermometer
VIII Reach 90 Tonight

Between s and 8 o'clock this morn
ing Rock Island had a taste OF Just
about as cold weather as this city has
ever seen. The official reading at
the observatory in Davenport was Is
degrees below the zero mark, and
when one takes into consideration the,
direction OF the wind and the fact
that a wide ice covered river lies be-
tween Davenport and Rock Island, it
is not hard to believe that an official
reading at various places here would
have shown a mark Of 20 or even more
below zero. II is safe to assume that
the Mississippi river Is even colder
than Davenport, and as the wind is
from the northwest, it crosses the
river before striking Rock Island. At
any rate, today was the coolest in
the lifetime of many a Rock Island
resident.
ROCK ISLAND PROMINENT.
This city has had a prominent place
on the weather map during the past
half year. In July last on one day
Rock Island was the hottest place IN
the United States and Wednesday II
was the coolest, according TO the
same authority. Incidentally the two
days show a difference of no less than
125 degrees. July the thermometer
read 104 at the observatory in Daven
port and there were places in Rocl
Island where It showed as high al
10S. Everybody sweltered. Sir
months later. lacking two days, the
same thermometers showed from Il
TO 10 below zero and everybody froz'
that is. figuratively speaking.
MORE COLD PROMISED.
And on top OF this all the heartles
weather man, sitting in an easy chat
at the nice warm observatory II
Davenport, passed out the information
this morning as follows: Fair an,
colder with lowest temperature tC
night about 20 degrees below" II
is going to be 20 below in Davenport
what will It be on this side of tn

And heal our broken hearts.
