HENS KEPT TO LAY
5000 BIRDS AT SPOKANE
REMAIN OVER FROM SHOW
Product of Their Efforts Is Being
Some of these Poor Are Tasting
Eggs for First Time in Many Years
christmas Cheer.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 25.-(Special)
That the humble hen has strongly
marked charitable instincts is being
demonstrated in Spokane this week,
where 5000 hens that came for show
remain to lay.
The product of their efforts is be-
ing given to the needy people of Spo-
kane, some of whom are enjoying for
the first time in many years an egg
that a hen would be proud to claim
as its output.
1t is the joint Donation of poultry
Iraisers and hens from all parts of the
Pacific Northwest, assembled at the
annual show of the Inland Empire
Poultry and Pet Stock association. The
fact that the show comes during
Christmas week led the exhibitors to
agree to donate all eggs laid by their
show birds to a goodfellowship fund
being raised by the Associated Chari-
ties
Each night the .sss are collected
at the big building housing the show
and on the following day are deliver
ed to poor families.
In addition, exhibitors from nearby
ranches are bringing in many wagon
loads of apples. potatoes, carrots and
all kinds of garden truck for distri-
button among the poor.
Spokane is particularly fortunate
this year in its efforts to take Christ
mas cheer to unfortunates, as work
has been plentiful on account of a
large amount of building and railroad
construction projects. totaling more
than $20.000,000. Charitable efforts
have been unified to a considerable
degree. and ready response has been
given by the people generally.
A large store room was filled with
gifts of clothing. food and toys as
result of the Goodwellowship fund,
and cash donations were numerous,
All the poor children of the city, in
Guiding those at the orphan homes,
were invited to a large Christmas tree
celebration.
