This is the season when the
rooster gets the axe. As the editor
sauntered down to his shop the other
morning in the delightful air of zero
quality he espied big double box
wagon load of pluck ed chickens in
front of Ats store. We inquired
the cause of the amazing fatality
among yellow legged chickens and were
referred for answer to the American
custom of eating chicken any old time,
and especially at Christmas time.
Aft er the Ats had picked out the
fines for home use, they shipped the
balance, a dozen barrels full, to
Chicago.
