BIRTH OF A TRADE BOARD.
1t is a long sentence that has no turning
and we will finally wriggle back to the
Pine Notch Board of Poultry Trade and
record the sensational features of its
birth.
The progressive Mr. Newton Bull, or
"Newt'' Bull, as he Is more familiarly
known, is really the author of the organi-
zation's being, and was elected to the post
OF recording secretary and chairman of
the Hard Questions Committee. Newt"
Bull was the first Pine Notch poultry
man and Indian Runner duck specialist
to break away from local traditions ana
sell fancy select eggs by parcel post and
express
His ruin was predicted early in the
game, particularly by Rudolph Mops.
whose family have kept the Pine Notch
general store and merchandise trading
emporium-see one-inch ad in the Fort
nightly Bulletin-since 1871. Immemorially
all Pine Notch eggs were brought to the
store and traded out. Three generations
OF Mops shipped them in regularly to
Camden and Philadelphia every other Fri
day, and Camden and Philadelphia bought
them as fresh country eggs, which they
were-country eggs without doubt.
For Newton Bull to break away from
thig fine old local nd aA
s as rank heresy by the Mops and all the
Pine Notch relatives and debtors OF the
Mops, of which there were many. First
tney pitied him and then when he didn't
go broke, envy crept in in the place of
pity and the entire community got sore
on him. Few of his neighbors spoke to
him and there was even bad feeling be-
tween him and his two brothers. the, Bull
Twins, Rob and Bob. These are the full
names. You see, they hadn't been ex-
pected as twins and their mother. who
was very stubborn woman, had set her
mind on naming the next boy Robert.
When she was notified that 1t was pair
OF fine boys she said through tightly COM
pressed lips, We'll, I'll name em Robert"
IT can't be DONE" said her husband,
zedekiah Bull, one Of the keenest grass
farmers in South Jersey.
1T ls done,'' she snapped back at him.
I'VE will call the Oldest Rob and the
to It.
ONCE MORE. THAT TRADE BOARD.
Nov, by jlmminy. welI get down to
that Pine Notch Board OF Poultry Trade
and stick to It, Newt" Bull had worked
up a very promising fresh selected fancy
eggs trade by parcel post and express,
asking no man for advice or assistance
and studying the thing out according to
al the new rules of scientific poultry pro-
dnetion, when along came an order for
two dozen bOneless eggs. The name and
audress was typewriter and a money
order for 81 enclosed. The order was very
terse and brief, to wit: please send, ex-
press collect. two dozen boneless eggs,
white preferred. but brown will serve"
Newt Bull was stumped and admitted II
ever the telephone TO his father. The old
gentleman hung up the receiver without
replying and had very bad night. Then
newt called up the twins. who married
twins and live In two-famlly house on
the outskirts OF Pine Notch. where they
specialize In dill pickles. The twins said
tne order must have come from a lunatio
asylum, but Newt wasn't satisfied. The
order was typewriter and looked as sane
as any order he had ever received. saner
man the majority.
He wondered II II wouldn't be a good
laea to call a meeting OF all the poultry
.44tbeES round ABOUT Zine Notch and see
Il their combined wisdom couldn't solve
ne puzzle. AS there Is nothing much
aqlng In the pickle line at this time, Rob
shd Bob were persuaded to call a meet

ana doughnuts as refreshments. This
sas arranged and Mrs. Newt started

The twins did not give any lnkling OF

mentioned that Mrs. Newt Bulls dough-
nuts would be supplied In unstinted
