CHURCH NOTES
MY CHICKENS

From the last issue of the Orleans
County Farm Bureau News-
i sent to Erie, Pa, for so black
Mlnorcas chickens that were to arrive
IN Orleans about the first of June. On
Memorial day the postmaster phoned
me that my chicks had arrived at the
postoffice and that if / would come
That morning l might get them.
When / arrived at my home seven of
them were dead and there were three
others we had to kill. They did not
look very good then because there
were many white feathers on them
and one would not have thought they
would ever be black They were yery
thirsty and ate quite a little as
soon as they had a chance to.
They grew well and the white fea-
tners left and they were a shiny
black 1 grew up "a pullets and ID
ROSTERS They were five months old
MI. ingalls, saw them a few DAVIS
ago and thought they were a fine
pen of chickens. e

City Grocer Of tho Opinion That the
Pros May 30 Higher Before There
l. q Drop-suoar stays Up Around
20 Cents and Supply Continues Very
Limited.

three dollars and ninety cents q
bushel is a terrible price for potatoes"
said local grocer, but" he added.
that is what we have to charge when
the wholesale price is $3.50 and 1915
per hundred weight" Asked II he
thought the price had reached its high
est, he replied he would like to know
himself. He thought there should be n
decline but feared that the price would
so some higher before 1t came down.
In explaining the reason for the high
price he said that the crop this year
was Of poor keeping quality. In the
fall 1t was almost impossible, at one
time, to buy potatoes that would keep
longer than two weeks. and now the
trouble is to keep the potatoes from
freezing while in transit. For the lat
ter reason during the winter months.
potatoes are always higher
The northern varieties are generally
considered the best for every use but
some like the western varieties as
they bake better than any. They are
little larger. too, altho sometimes too
large to be good. Because the moisture
for their growth Is secured thru irriga-
ton western potatoes do not boil very
well.
Sugar Prices Fluetuatins.
Sugar still continues TO be sore
point with the housewife and she seems
to have good reason, for prices
fluctuate and cents from one day
to the next. Tho highest it has been
is 22 cents and there is no telling how
much higher it may 20. Thursday it
was 20 cents and the purchaser Is
still limited In the amount he can get.
Many and varied reasons have been
offered for the seeming scarcity and
the jump IN price, but at last grocers
are beginning to agree that the brokers
have had a good deal to do with our
sugar troubles. Brokers are said TO
be controlling a good deal Of the sup
ply and selling to those who offer the
highest prices.
One merchant said that he didn't ex
pect prices to get any lower unit!
after another election, because the
high cost OF living. its causes and the
cure, have become political issues.
Maybe politicians consider it a good
issue, for before the next election 1t Is
probable that all Of the states will
have ratified the constitutional amend
ment for equal suffrage TO women.
