CHICKEN THIEF CAUGHT
IN THE ACT GETS NINETY
DAYS IN THE COUNTY JAIL

Saturday night, Joe Morgan
was caught wandering suspicious
ly near the chicken coop of Joseph
Jackson, Sr. Inspection, that is
capture, then inspection, showed
that Mr.. Morgan had bagged four
beautiful birds and they looked
more like Plymouth Rocks than
mallards at that. Mr.. Morgan
tried to beg off. Possibly he was
planning to give chicken pie
dinner the following day and. he
didn't like to call it off. One of
the ironical things of life is that
everyone capt see the same thing
in the same light. In this case.
Mr.. Jackson decided he could not
afford to lose his valuable broil-
ers. Accordingly, he called the
police and after customary for
mality the accuser and accused
put the case before Judge Kelsey.
Mr.. Morgan notified his would be
guests that he had been unexpect-
edly called out of town and eff.
necessity must postpone the din
ner. He left the following day
for St. Cloud. He expects to be
gone about 80 days.

The suggestion that no good pur-

leaders was received by the house
with loud cheers. The suggestion
was made by Sir Mark Sykes, who
vigorously defended the Dardanelles
operations.
Winston Spencer Churchill, former
first lord of the admiralty, severely
criticized the manner in which the
Dardanelles commission report had
been prepared.
The decision with regard to the
Dardanelles, said Mr.. Churchill, was
not based on the opinions of experts,
but on the plans of experts and the
readiness of experts to execute these
plans. Nobody had a right to say
naval opinion was not marshalled
behind the admiralty's action.

Lord Fisher, then first sea lord, to
