fitting program and the honored guest
had given words of encouragement, all

Jackson.

FOROS ARE COMING FAST

Big Assembly Plant in Seattle Will
Be in Operation Soon,
He Hears.

j. d. Mansfield, manager of the
local St. John & Titus garage,
authorized Ford dealers here, is
happy again, so happy he's almost
jumping in the air and kicking his
heels-he got letter this week tell
ing him that the big Ford assembly
plant in Seattle will be in full opera
ton within the next few weeks.
That means that the Fords will be
rambling into the local agency on
schedule by the first of the year,
which is something that hasn't hap
pened for nearly two years. Hence
Mansfield's glee. It's good to see
him smile again, too. for during
these two years when Fords have
been scarce he worked himself into
such a humor trying to explain to
customers why he couldn't get cars
for them that he looked sad most of
the time.
When the assembly plant gets go
ing again it will turn out from SO to
IS cars a day, Mansfield says. 1t will
assemble every bit of the car, even
the motor, which was not done be-
fore.

Demon Disease is difficult to con-
troll among flocks of poultry because
fowls are housed together in rela-
lively large numbers and when dis
ease develops the comparatively low
value of each bird does not justify
special care and attention for each
individual hen. Hence, it is essen
tial to protect the flock against the
entrance of disease. Unless main
tanned in a healthy condition chicks
will not grow properly, while mature
fowls will rapidly lose their vigor
and vitality and become unproductive
and Improbable. Prevention of dis
ease is simple; attempt to cure a
bird after it becomes sick is difficult.
Safety first for the flock necessitates
scrupulous care not to expose the
birds needlessly and to practice all
precautions which make for hen
health. -

Gapes, roup. chicken pox, and

ANOTHER GAME Of

ging camps in this section of south

A young man of FL or 20 summers
and number of hard winters
thrown in, entered one of the bunk
houses Of the Mud Bay Logging COM
pany at Delphi late Saturday evening
and broke up an innocent little poker
party. He did not sit in the game.
but he took $500 from the six play
ers and stepped out of the game.
He entered the bunk house armed
with two revolvers and part of his
face masked in a dark blue handker-
chief. Like the thrills in the flick
eriRg film he stuffed the rolls Of bills
and the jingling silver in his pocket.
gave villainous chuckle, ran out
side, jumped in a car and by the
time the poker sharks woke up he
was far far away.
The thief did not discriminate be-
tween the players and onlookers, for
he also frisked the onlookers. This
holdup is the echo of a similar one
put on at McCleary about five weeks
ago. when robbers broke up a poker
party and took about $500.
"Say, you can shoot a game of
craps safer these days" remarked
one Of the loggers who was one of
the losers in the clubhouse social
affair when he came into Olympia to
report the holdup.
The thief made one mistake-he
stole some checks - who knows,
maybe I. o. U.'s-as a part of the
loot.
A man giving the name OF Joe
Chilbers was arrested in Tacoma
Tuesday, suspected of having
pulled" the holdup. He was driving
a red "bug" with a yellow top. which
is the kind of a car seen around the
camp, and had sos in money and q
1920 Colts revolver ON him. He was
brought to Olympia Wednesday.
