Such Is Life
As 1t Is Seen
By O. B. JOYFUL

After discussing the proposition
for a number of months you actual
ly start keeping chickens.
You lodge them in an empty piano
box, which cost you only $3.50, in
the back yard and you spend sew
eral pleasant evenings figuring up
the profits you expect to make from
the sale of eggs and broilers to
neighbors.
Experienced friends have warned
you that the winter is a poor time
to start keeping chickens. but you
know better.
out and you're convinced that now's
the time.
Long about the third day you be-
gin looking for eggs.
You snoop around in the straw
you have provided for the chicks at
a cost of IS cents, but you fail to
discover any eggs.
You are surprised and hurt.
You look suspiciously at the
neighbors' homes.
Is it possible that they?
The high price of eggs, you know
is liable to make otherwise perfect
ly honest folks do almost anything.
The fourth day there are still no
eggs ana you greet NelghDOr Jones
and Neighbor Smith with hard
glances and an intense desire to
hand them over to the police.
On the fifth day you find that one
of the chickens got out during the
night and froze to death and you
wonder who opened the door to the
piano box.
Certainly you didn't leave it open
yourself.
Your suspicious grow.
The sixth day-Eureka!
You find an egg,
Your suspicious vanish.
Neighbor Jones and Neighhpr
Smith are fine fellows.
You hasten to tell them about
your success.
But they. hard-headed miserly
fellows. plunge you into the depths
of despair.
They coldly figure up the cost Of
that one egg.
1t stands you just $3.50!
You strike Jones and Smith from
your list of friends and a long pro-
tracted neighborhood feud starts.
Wowi Are eggs high priced?
You're perfectly willing to take
an oath, after an experience with
keeping chickens, that the price Of
eggs is way, way, way beyond rea-
son!
