MORE SPRING CHICKENS.
Erood of Ten HatChed at Cedar
RapidS-Winneshi Beats
the Record.

When it comes to early spring
chickens we guess Winneshiek coun-
ty holds the record this year, as a
fine brood was Matched out on the
farm of Dick Stoskopf in Canoe
township on Jan. ). Now comes the
following report from Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids chicken men have
accomplished many extraordinary
things during the past many years
that this city has been the big poul-
try center of the midwest. This year
however, VIM. Ashhv, whose poul-
try farm is at Third avenue and
Nineteenth street west, boasts of the
unusual hatch Of ten healthy chicks
which broke out of the eggs under
hen Saturday and Sunday, Janu-
airy and I. The hatch was ten
lively chicks out of twelve eggs
which Mr.. Ashby set under the hen.
An incubator hatch so early in the
year is not out of the ordinary, tho
there is some trouble getting fer
tile eggs in December to hatch the
first week in January. When a hen
decides to undertake the arduous
task of keeping eggs at Matching
heat in December and to mother
them during the SHOWS and cold Of
January, there is sign of strongly
developed mother instinct in the hen
Mr.. Ashby was rather suspicious of
Mrs. Hen when she fist showed signs
of desire to sit on the eggs, but as
the hen refused to be swerved from
her purpose, he took a chance and
allowed her to do as she pleased.

MOVED TO DEBORAH.
John Harter Took Possession of His
New Home Yesterday.

Mr.. John Harter, of Pleasant
township, who recently purchased
the F. H. Baker property, moved to
DEBORAH yesterday. Ever since 1882
Mr.. Harter has devoted a great deal
of his time to the development OF
the Pleasant Ridge Fruit Farm on
section 3, Pleasant township. He
specialized in the raising of fine
grades of native fruits; and his scien-
tific methods, unremitting industry
and his thorough knowledge of the
business combined to gain for him a
success which places him among the
most able fruit growers in the state.
Mr.. Harter purchased six acres OF
land along with his new home. Last
fall he brought his fruit trees down
and planted them, and expects 70

of the allies, but that the Germans
have many sympathizers among the

Sweden popular favor is also VITA
the allies, although the German in
fluence is stronger in that country,
where Germany has long been look

Last Saturday Daniels e Schrubbe
sold out their restaurant and pool
and billiard business to ]. E. Halse,
of Canoe township, and possession
was taken by Mr.. Halse on Monday.
Messrs. Daniels and Schrubbe did
not sell out on account of lack OF

and little over they had conducted
the business. Their patrons have
been many and were always satisfied.
Mr.. Daniels health has been poor
for the past year and the confirming
work and long hours on the inside
was affecting his health to such an
extent, that he decided to get out.
Neither Mr.. Daniels or Mr.. Schrubbe
have decided on their future plans.
The new proprietor, Mr.. Halse, is
a fine young man, and no stranger to
the restaurant business in DEBORAH,
as he put in several years in the
business here. For some time past
he has been conducting a farm in
Canoe township He has hundreds
of friends in DEBORAH and through
out the county who will be pleased
to know that he has come into pos
session of this business. He is a
good business man, possessed of a

That always means, with our
matchless output, more for the
money than any other maker can
give.
AS rubber came down our pri-
ces came down. AS our output
multiplied, reducing factory cost.
our prices came down with it. In
two years our reductions includ-
ing the present-have totaled 40
per cent.
Last year we increased our
output 26.6 per cent. A few days
ago the embargo on rubber was
modified so that supplies seem
assured. The market price for
rubber seems for a time estab-
lished. Fabric costs less than
last year. So, under our mini
mum profit policy, we announce
this new reduction.

For long time most tires
have sold much above Goodyear

The Best We know

Goodyear Fortified Tires offer
the best we know They are built
to give you the lowest cost per
mile. They minimize tire trouble
in five costly ways employed by
no other maker And they are al
ways the same, regardless of price
reductions.
Most tires will always sell
higher, because of smaller out
put. Some tires will always sell
lower because of lower standards.
But we promise you that none
will ever give better than Good
year value.
This policy has made Good
years the largest-selling tires in
the world. 1t will make them
more so as more men find them
out.
Ask your Goodyear dealer for
our new price on the size you buy.
