Old Hen, Mothers
Family of Pups

A few weeks ago an old Plymouth
Rock hen brought off several chicks
in nest in a chicken house at the
home of Adna Maulsby, at Prairieville.
Nearby litter of a mixed breed OF
pups was born. "A few days later the
pups were put in the chicken house,
as it was convenient place to keep
them.
The pups mingled with the little
chicks and made friends with them
and their mother and soon there was
a happy but badly mixed family in the
chicken house.
Still later the love in the breast OF
the mother Plymouth Rock for the
children of her own blood seems to
have cooled. At about the same time
the love for her four-legged little
friends increased. The outcome OF
this change of maternal feeling was
that the hen forsook her chicks and
adopted the pups. Since then the pups
have been hers alone. her own chicks
being left to shift for themselves.
The old Plymouth Rock brooded the
pups, and they grew and thrived. Now
at the age of three or four weeks, they
are getting mighty husky for their
hen mother. In their puppy play they
wrestle their adopted mother about,
bite her head and maui her and are
generally troublesome and rough. But
mother Plymouth Rock stands for it
all. and tries to appear unconcerned as
she turns away her head. albeit the
puppy teeth must nip sharply her
wings and head sometimes.
The guess is made that it is going
to be only a question Of time and

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Proposal contemplates Taking in Dis
triets Of Marshal, Tama and Jasper
county-District Would Include
Little More Than Eighteen Sections
Election Probably Be Held in July.

School patrons of Gilman and the
rural districts adjoining the town and
near to it propose to organize con-
solidated district. Their plans have
been advanced to the stage where the
petition for the consolidation has been
circulated and signed by the petition
ers, who Saturday presented il 10 Miss
Gertrude E. Miller, county superin-
tendent of schools, for her Signature.
She signed it.
This proposed consolida ton is Of es-
pecial interest because it centers in
one of the larger towns of the county
and proposes to consolidate into one
district independent districts of Mar
shall, Tama and Jasper counties.
Have Building Already.
The school project has distinct ad-
vantage over others of its kind that
have been started in the county. 1t
pan is TO use the building that was
four years ago.
The territory included in the pro-
posed consolidation is districts !. and
.
ter section, and one-quarter section in
district 9, Greencastle township, Mar
shall county; and district ard one
quarter section in district / Highland
township. Tama county: and one-quar-
ter section of district i and five
eigntns of a section in district ?, Hick-
DRY Grove township, Jasper county.
The total area is eighteen and three
Fights sections.
Must Add School Equipment.
Altho the Gilman building is ade-
1uare TO the needs of the proposed
consolidated district it will be neces-
sary to add some more equipment to
1t to teach domestic science, manual
training and agriculture TO meet the
requirements of the state SO that the
school can secure state aid. This aid
will be $3.50 the first year and $3.50
each succeeding year.
1t IS understood that the petition,
which bore the names of 1SS out OF
total Of 200 voters. will be signed by
Mrs. Mary Richards. Of Tana county,
and Miss Olive Sheiner, Of Jasper
county, the superintendents of their
respective counties. The election will
probably be held some time early in
July, but the date Is to be fixed by the
Gilman school board, which also calls
the election.

The person who refused was sum-

penalty the law fixes for not giving the
information asked for by the enumera-

wanted.
