BEALL BEGINS WORK

"What's the price of nice bird like
that" asked one of the uninterested
at the poultry show, admiring a pen of
fine chickens.
ave refused 500 for that bird"
replied the proud owner, whose pens
were adorned with various colored
ribbons trophies Of the Richmond and
other poultry shows.
The spectator sasped and then NUT
tered something about eighteen cents
pound, being all he could afford to
pay.
The ease with which owners ask all
the way from $25 up for the chickens
exhibited makes most Of the specta-
tors wonder.
BeckschuIz Gets Prize.
When time came last night for
awarding the pen of fowls, on which
during the afternoon and evening re-
ceived a chance, much interest was
manifested. The five barred rocks
were given John Beckschulz, 215
South Seventh street. Another pen
will be given away this evening. Large
crowds are attending the show.
The work of awarding the silver
cups will be begun today by Cash
Beall, secretary.
Over Mr.. Beall's pen of chickens
which he is exhibiting hangs a new
tin cup with corn cob through the
handle. On card is printed the fol
lowing: This Handsome Cup Pre-
sented to Cash Beall for the Best Pen
in the Show" Members of the asso-
citation responsible for the award
thought to have some fun with their
secretary, but Mr.. Beall refused to
be the butt of the joke and proudly
exhibits the cup to visitors.
