Robert Doerr, Fred F. Wittenwyler
and G. A. Kading were appointed on a
committee to obtain information from
the county board of supervisors rela-
tive to the law recently passed where
by financial help will be given to
breeders of poultry in cities of the
second class. The amount to be voted
in the aggregate is not over SIS 900, CT
$4,000 for this county and giving the
probable sum of $500 to WATERFOWL, as
there are only three associations in
the county. The law in brief states
that buildings will be erected to re-
main the property of the state, to
make improvements on fair grounds
for public exhibitions and help poultry
associations to further the interest of
raising better chickens and producing

MORE CHICKENS STOLEN.
Edward Heitz Loses 100 of His Flock
Tuesday Night.

Chicken thieves visited the farm of
Edward Heitz in route sometime
Tuesday night and stole 100 young
chickens. From all indications it would
apepar that the thieves are using an
auto as they leave no evidence behind,
and the stolen fowls are not disposed
of in the nearby towns for the sale Of
such a number of chickens and the
great majority good layers would
arouse suspicion.
In the past few weeks great many
hencoops have been visited in the city
and country. That an organized band
of chicken thieves is operating around
here is the opinion of many. So far no
clue has been obtained whereby they
, may be apprehended.
