Alexander Chambley. of 243 South Tenth

port, n Y, In which the deed forbade the
sale Of liquor.
Chambley said he paid Myers s21 900 for
tho property, with the understanding that
there were no restrictions. Under the cir.
cumstances. he declared he could only re,
$4,000 for the property. without such N.
strictions Chambley contended that ths
property would have a market value Of
$40, 900. His claim for S36, 900 is based on
the $4,000 difference between the price hs
paid and the price he sold the place for
and $4,000 possible profit he would have
made from the sale of the property at
$4,000.

est demand for the holiday trade Is
for the smaller birds suitable for d
dinner for an ordinary family.
The plumage of the bronze Is very
attractive. The feathers are bronze or
dull black with bands of white across.
The bronze tint gives pleasing color
effects.
One common objection has been that
the bronze hen is not a very good
layer. But 1t Is generally found that
laying Is largely an individual charac-
teristic. Many prefer the bronze and
generally this breed by far outnumbers
the others on the holiday market.
The bronze turkeys are close de-
scendants of the American wild tur.
key, which is still found In some parts
of our country. The young of the
domestcated birds soon show a ten
dency to wander In search of food.

her piquantly bright features clouded
with an unwonted frown, crumpled a
letter in her hand.
II do think men are the most ag.
gravating things that ever lived" she
declared, with annoyance in her voice.
The woman in the hammock smiled
slightly, and did not speak. Prudence
carefully counted ten threads, and sol.
emily drew one before she voiced her
question.
"What is he saying now?"
"Why, he's still Directing to my hav.
ing dates with the other boys" Fairy's
voice was vibrant with GRIEF. HE

can't imagine. Last fall I mentioned
casually that I was sure he wouldn't

ticket for myself; they cost four dol.
lars, and aren't worth it, either. And
what did he do but send me eight dol
lars to buy two sets of tickets! Then
this spring, when the baseball season
opened, he sent me season tickets to
all the games, suggesting that my finan-
cial stringency could not be pleaded as
excuse. Ever since he went to Chicago
last fall we've been fighting because
the boys bring me home from parties.

said "hen" very Grossly

began plying her needles once more.
But Prudence still looked troubled,
and sighed often.
There was no apparent ground for
her alarm. The twins came back with
the potatoes, peeled some for luncheon,
and set the table, their faces still
bright and smiling.
In the afternoon they joined the
little circle on the porch, but not to
sew. They took book, and lay down
on a rug with the book before them,
reading together. Evidently they were
all absorbed.
Prudence, in spite of her devotion to
the embroidering of large SIS on as
sorted pieces Of linen, never forgot the
twins for a moment.
"What are you readlng?" she asked
at last aimlessly, her only desire to
be treasured by the sound of their
voices.
There was an almost imperceptible
pause. Then Carol answered-her
chin was in her palms, which may have
accounted for the mumbling of the
words.

then she smiled.
Suddenly, to the tempest-tossed and
troubled twins, the tall, splendid Fairy
seemed haven of refuge. And with a
Cry of relief and shame and fear, the
twins plunged upon her and told her
their little tale.
"You punish us this time, Fairy"
begged Carol. "We-we don't want

punishment"
Fairy looked at them a moment
wondering if, indeed, their punishment
had been sufficient.

We knew you were listening in the

Who's the laugh on now? Are we

ran downstairs, laughing followed by
two entirely abashed and humbled
twins.

At ten o'clock the train carried their
father off in the direction of Burling-

returned to the parsonage. Prudence,
Fairy and Aunt Grace sat sewing on
the side porch as they cut across the
parsonage lawn. their feet crinkling
pleasantly through the drift Of autumn

GULL SURPLUS YOUNG STOCK
Don't Hold Poultry Until Christmas
Thinking Higher Prices Can
Be Obtained.

Now Is the time to dispose Of sur
plus young stock. Don't be fooled into
waiting until Christmas and then get
about the same price for a six-pound
bird as you can now get for a four
pound fry. Hold only the promising
breeders of the males and sell the re-
mainder. Pullets showing low vitality
by maturing slowly never make winter
layers and usually are first to contract
disease. Gull the old flock to half and
fill their places with the best Of the
pullets. Determine the number of
birds your house will hold by allowing
four square feet of floor space for each

MAKE WINTER LAYERS WORK
Best Accomplished by Scattering Part

You should make every winter layer
work for part Of her living, which may
be best accomplished by scattering a
part of her feed in litter. The exer-
else they get from scratching for the
grain Is very important. The exercise
serves to keep up the bodily health,
stimulates the organs Of digestion and
reproduction and invigorates the en-
tire system. Feeding is one Of the
most important items In winter egg
production.

fowls with improper care will not pro-

1t is common practice on many
rarms to feed fowls fresh meat
throughout the winter. Rabbits, horses
and farm animals of one kind or an-

during freezing weather. There Is
great danger from ptOmalne poisoning
occurring where this practice is con-
