from the sale of eggs from flock OF
I5o Barred Plymouth Rocks from
January I to May IS, which was the
sum of $l7S. Saturday while in towr
shopping Mrs. A. J. Barnes called
and told us that she could go Mrs
Leiner one better, since she had sold
Se7z.6o worth of eggs from flock OF
I5o White Leghorn hens from Jan

of news we enjoy printing; and it is
the kind OF news that helps put Bates

that there is no place superior to
Bates county, Missouri, and we
verify believe that western Bates is
the garden spot of the county Am
