Did You Ever See Any Frizzle Fowlsas

Christmas eve The Reporter man
received strange Christmas present,
and at first thought some one had
been putting up job on US, but the
arrival of letter the following day
from A. B. (Turkey) Owen of Will
low Springs, Mo-, explained the mat
ter. The Adams express agent de-
livered to us crate containing two
big white chickens which looked as
if they had been turned inside out,
for the feathers are all pointing the
wrong way. They are known among
poultry breeders as Frizzle fowls and
are highly priced, but are the strang-
est looking chickens we ever saw.
The following letter explains their
receipt:

Friend Hull:I am shipping you
today pair of fowls known as the
Progressive Breed" strain almost

in cave the next day after the No
vember election. You will note their
plumage is curly, caused no doubt
from their fussy disposition. They
will eat any old thing, but are very
particular about their drink.

Respectfully yours,

W4 have tried our best to give
thesk progressive chickens good
k6me, but they don't seem to take
Ssindy to democratic food and liquor,
SO we have turned them over to Ed
Sharp, a rank standpatter, in the
hope that they may convert him to
more progressive ways, and he has
promised to deliver us whole brood
of little frizzles next spring. Now If
some friend will send US some demo-
cratic roosters we will be pretty well
fixed.
