Thought It Came From an Ostrich
But a Hen Laid II.
When J. 7. Watson Of Los Angeles
heard great chorus of cacksing in his
chicken yard he figured that his chick
ems had fixed up another fresh egg for
his breakfast and he went out to in
vestigate.
He reached into the nest for the egg
ana could hardly get his hand around
it. He pulled it out of tlfe nest and
then started looking for footprints Of
an ostrich in his chicken yard, for the
egg was the largest he had ever seen.
10 ostrich or ostrich tracks could be
found, so Watson arrived at the con-
clusion that one Of his hens had hit
another blGw at the high cost Of liv-
ing.
The egg weighed four and one-quar-
ter ounces and was six and one-half
inches in circumference and nine
inches in lengthwisc circumference.

Turks after him, enabled a quick blow
to be delivered which drove the Turks
northward with heavy losses. They
were still in retreat, with the British

hand, takes opportunity to indulge in
attack on America equalled by few

pers now arriving here are filled with
editorial comment on the Won Hinden-
burg interview. which may be sum-

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is
the greatest man almost that Germany
has ever known. He says America
amounts to nothing. Therefore, it
must be true. The situation must be
all right because he says so, even
though our opponents report great
successes. Hence the German people
should have every confidence, and
above all, subscribe to the sixth war
loan, even though Won Hindenburg
himself, in belittling America, says that
its help can only be along financial
lines.
