Shipping Poultry;

Where farms are more remote from
the city markets, a profit can be de-
rived by shipping to the larger cities.
In these days Of, excellent railroad
facilities, any poultry plant within 100
miles of a city can reap the benefits
OF good prices, just as much as those
located within easy drive. The cost
OF shipping is easily Offset by the re-
.duced cost of conducting such a plant
away from highly taxable land. ~ :

king OF THE BELGIANS RECEIVES AN
ASSOCIATED PnESS CORRESPONDENT
Tells of the Struggle of His
Little Army and Asks
That His Thanks Be Con
veyed to the People of the
United States.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Grand Headquarters of the King of
the Belgiaus- in West Flanders, In Bel
gfum, Dec. 23.-King Albert Sunday
received an Associated Press corre-
spondent at his headquarters in the
council chamber of the ancient Flem-
ish Town hall, told of the struggles
of the Belgian army and asked the AS
sociated Press to convey to the peo-
pie of the United States his deep graft
tude for their efforts to feed his sub
jects under German military rule.
The Belgian army is blocking the
road to Dunkirk, and Calais against
the German attacks. The Germans
have been vigorously shelling the po-
sitions. The kings headquarters are
also in the path of the shell fire. A
smoky oil lamp is the only light in it.
The part of Belgium where the king
has his headquarters is the one re-
naming dry area in that small corner
of the country still under his rule.
Other parts have been inundated by
the owners to hinder the Germans.
The king has completely reorganized
the Belgian army and praised its
courage and fighting qualities. The
king is living as simple as any subal-
tern on his staff. He seeks short maps
on rickety army cot when the Ger
mans occasionally relax their efforts
to smash the thin Belgian line.
The kings chief support is Queen
Elizabeth, who is living a few miles
away on Belgian soil. where has COM
plete charge Of one Of the largest
military hospitals. No other women
except nurses, are permitted to ap-
proach the Belgian lines.
Iofc
the king and queen meet, but are liv-
ing virtually under campaign condi-
tfons. Neither has the usual personal
suite.
The king said some day he would
ride into Brussels the capital. at the
head of his troops, but shook his head
sadly when told that 1t was predicted
by some he would do this three months
hence.
