Come along with your egg stories:
Here is No. /: F. L. Massey, living on
rural route No. 2, brings in an egg of
unusual dimensions and says that the
only way he can account for it is that
the White Leghorn biddy laid it on reg
istration day and also possibly from the
fact that the prize poultry was fed ON
Polk county corn. Said egg measures
seven inches around the shortest way
and s Ia inches the longest. and weighs
five ounces.
Mrs. I. T. Clark, of 144 North Front
street, has hen that evidently be-
longs to the typographical union or
some of the other upper circles of So
ciety FOR she is laying eggs with an en-
bossed initial on one end of them. Her
latest effort is one with a perfect script
capital letter I. This is why it is
thought she is a member of the typo
union, though it may be it
was only bit of feminine deceit and
she was trying to pass off her product
as a. turkey egg The egg shell is
light cream color, the raised letter a
light brown.
