Judge, I want to plead guilty"
Justice of the Peace Lee Daniel

OSTRICH EGGS IN
VAULT OF A BANK
Came From Sand Springs
100: Will lncubate
Them Later on.

Eggs are very queer things to keep
in "A bank vault. Sometimes in the
snowy season. however, their none
tary value is such that they may be
reckoned as ready cash at something
like 2 Y to az cents per egg. Ordin-
arily their Importance is no more than
to find a place of repose in the back
porch refrigerator.
Yet at this time, with fresh coun-
try eggs" tumbling in price, there are
a couple Of eggs slowed away safely
and securely in the vault Of the Sand
Springs State bank. This peculiar
place for eggs is not merely for the
real money value of them. but it is as
much for the welfare of the eggs as
anything else that they are there--a
cool. even temperature in "A dark
place.
a little later on in the season these
two eggS-and there may be others
by that time-will be incubated. The
ordinary incubator of commerce won't
do, either. 1t will have to be a special
machine. An old hen couldn't do the
job very well. because these eggs
weigh respectively two pounds seven
ounces and two pounds nine ounces.
Yes, they are ostrich eggs. They
were laid by one Of the hen" os-
triches out in the ostrich pens at
Sand Springs park ZOO. and right now
these eggs are receiving more attcn-
ton than the ostriches are. Every
precaution is being taken with them,
for it is expected that within a few
weeks time there will be little ostrich
IS picking their way through the
tough shells. Just how they are GO
ing to be incubated is worrying the
keeper of the zoo. and some advice
will likely be gotten along this line
from some OF the larger ZOOS Of the
country. In their natural life It Is
said that the male ostrich takes turn
about with the sun in causing the eggs
to hatch. the ostrich sitting on them
during the night time and allowing
the sun to do its part In the daytime
by thoroughly heating the sand.
Anyway, the 200 management is
going to do its best to have some lit
tie ostriches by hot weather.

AUGUSTA REFUSES
HELP FROM OUTSIDE
Buildings That Withstood
War Between the States
Are Burned.

A UGUSTA, Ga. March 2S.-With
\ six business blocks devastated
by fire and more than six hundred
dwelling houses destroyed, including
residences that had been the pride of
this old southern city. Augusta to-
night was feeding and housing its
three thousand homeless without ask
ing aid from the outside world.
Late today a local committee had
raised $4,000 to feed and provide
shelter for the homeless. 1t was an
nounced that $4,000 would be sub
scribod here and that outside aid
would not be needed.
Estimates of the fire loss remained
at $1,000, 600 tonight. but citizens who
discussed the disaster expressed the
view that the loss of one hundred and
thirty business houses was not felt
more than was the destruction of his
toric buildings. St. Paul's Episcopal
church, erected 1885 years ago, fell be-
fore the flames. Homes of colonial
style that had withstood the ravages
of the war between the states were
in the fires path and their seasoned
timbers were quickly consumed.
Work was begun today to restore
conditions to normal and laborers
began to dynamite walls in the down
town section which might endanger
lives. Telephone and lighting serv-
ice also was being restored tonight.
The cause of the fire was not de-
termined today. No lives were lost
but there were scores Of narrow es-
capes and dozen or more persons
were slightly hurt. Four firemen
remained in hospitals tonight but
none was seriously injured.
