Chicks Come Home
To Roost Euen If
They Are Stolen

Ellis Baily, who lives on a farm on
Twelfth avenue, believes firmly in the
old saying, Chickens always come
home to roost." Forty FIVE of his chicks
proved that adage to be true Friday.
Recently Mr.. Baily had some chick
UP in Justice Peek's and later in Jus
tiCe Burritt's court. The chickens had
been sold to produce house, and the
persons accused of stealing and SELL
ing the birds were acquitted because
OF ialK % evidence after change of
venue had been taken to Justice Bur-
rItts court.
To get his chickens. or the chickens
which Mr. Baily identified as his, it
was necessary to pay for them at the
produce house. aitho Baily had secured
search warrant from Justice Peeks
court The warrant. however, was not
properly posted in two places within
forty eight hours. and so lost its eff
ficacy. Despite the statements of sew
eral persons interested that all chick
ems looked alike, and that the chickens
at the produce house might not be
Baily's at all Mr.. Baily had enough
they would not fail him. So he paid
Is cents pound for his own chick
ems. and for their feed during the time
they were at the produce house. and
took home forty-f five of the birds.
Then came the supreme test. The
chickens were turned loose in the front
ward of the Baily home and the entire
family and several farmers and neigh
hors watched with GREATNESS Interest:
for the results. They were eminently
satisfactory Nearly two thirds Of the
chickens beat it, at once for the coop
in the back yard. with many satisfied
cluckings and expressions of content
ment TO be back home again. The
others picked about the yard in an i'm
portant manner, and then gradually
all but one solitary chicken retired to
the old homestead. This one Inspected
the place pretty thoroughly. accord
ing to Mr.. Baily, and finally decided
things hadn't changed much. so he
entered the coop with the rest OF the
flock and the chicken episode was
closed.

HEIRS OF JOHN NICHOLS, WHO
DIED AT SOLDIERS HOME
ARE WANTED.
ATTORNEY WRITES THEY
WILL BE BENEFITED
Letter Intimates That Children Will
Gain Financially If Found-RecorcIs
Of Home Show That Nichols, Who
Was Pennsylvania Veteran, Died
Here Aug" II, 1908.

Perhaps financial gain awaits the
heirs of John Nichols, a former civil
war veteran member of the soldiers
home, if they can be found According
TO letters received by Chief of Police
Breckel and the soldiers home from
ton. D. c., and Denver Colo. financial
benefits will accrue to the relatives if
found. He asked for their addresses
The letter also asked for information
regarding Nichols. After q search it
has been found at the home that John
Nichols, a veteran of Company B. One
Hundred Second Pennsylvania infantry
was a member of the home. He was
admitted from Des Moines Jan. is,
1898, and was 73 when he died, Aug.
II, 1903 This record corresponds with
the information furnished In the let
tiers, which was that Nichols had been
a member of the home and had dieo
in 1903.
The letter also supplied this add
tional information that in 1898 Nichols
was a widower and had three children.
Their names were given as Josephine
Doyle, Jennie Zitzman, and Mary
Wheeler. The attorney wanted their
addresses. The attorneys letter did
not go into details regarding the eX-
tent of the financial benefits that might
accrue to the children.
The home records at the time Nichols
died gave the names of but two chill
dren, Mrs. Zittman and Mrs. Wheeler,
and at that time they both lived at
Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. Wheeler was here
at the time OF her fathers death.

Farmers TO Organize

manufacturers, merchants, lawyers,
laborers, clerks and every class has
done l voted to exclude farmers and
laborers from the terms of the Sher.
man antitrust act when the big mo-
nopolies hired lawyers who secured
every construction of the act except
one preventing trusts.
Farmers will be compelled to or.
ganize to maintain their equality with
other classes and to bring them clos.
er to the department OF agriculture
for scientific information. A produces
sold from the field for five cents is
ultimately sold for IS cents. That's
an injustice on the producers, not by
the merchant, but there are too many
in between who are getting it.
1.-The Democrats will help the far.
mers. The Republicans will help the
others to get the profits. That's the
fundamental difference between the
parties, illustrated in making tariff
schedules. The Republicans call in
those who will benefit by tariff. The
Democrats call in government officials
and say: How much do you need to
run the government We govern the
schedules accordingly"

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
1t entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in gent
ly with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of 1t, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. Adv.
