CHEVROLET. CAR IS
TAKEN BY THIEVES
Miss Ella Kelly Reports to Pc.
lice Theft Of Machine
Thursday Night

Report of the theft of Chevrolet
touring car owned by Miss Ella Kelly,
former manager Of the Oakland hotel,
was made today to Chief of Police
p. J. Parker. The theft of the car
was discovered at 10:30 this morning
and is believed to have been made
during the night.
Miss Kelly stored her car in barn
owned by Mark Vincent at No. 105
South Mulberry street. She placed it
in the barn at 10 o'clock Thursday
evening.
The car was a four-cylinder Chew
rolet touring car with winter top.
The license number is 1852. A re-
port of the theft of the machine has
been sent to all nearby towns but a
start of IL hours gives the thieves an
advantage hard to overcome.
While automobile thefts have been
common in many places, particularly
in the larger cities, Mt. Vernon has
been singularly immune from this spe'
cies of outlawry. In recent years but
few cars have been taken and Of these
all but one have been recovered by
the police.

BY MR.. H. v. SHOOTS
Flush OF Egg Production Is
AT Its Heighth This Week,
MIR. Smoots Says

II. V. Smoots, wholesale shipper Of
butter eggs and poultry, stated today
that the flush of egg production is at
its very height this week.
There probably will be less eggs
each week from now on as the hens
commence setting and incubators are
being filed.
Mr. Shoots said that Knox county
is becoming known as one OF the
largest egg producers of quality eggs.
Greatly increased production In the
past few years due in n measure to
the large commercial hatcheries which
last year produced over 100000 day.
old chicks, a large percentage OF these
however being shipped all over the
United States.
Five carloads, 440 cases (13,200 doz.
en) to the car. were shipped from Mt.
Vernon this week This is total Of
$4,000 dozen or $4,000 eggs, which
would provide breakfast of two eggs
each morning for months for each and
every inhabitant Of Mt. Vernon.
These eggs, when received at the
packing house, are repacked In new
cottonwood cases, with the best grade
Of filters, all the small undersize, dir
ty or cracked eggs are taken out and
packed in separate cases. The best
grade of eggs is what is known in
the trade as storage packed and are
stored in the large refrigerating
plants in New York for use next win
ter April eggs are considered the
best for storage purposes.
Farmers fthe county are still neg
ligent about keeping the nests clean
and gathering the eggs several times
daily, and there is large percentage
OF dirty eggs, especially during the
wet weather.
Mt. Vernon probably received less
than 40 per cent Of the eggs produced
In the county. AS many eggs are
probably shipped from Centerburg as
from Mt. Vernon. and eggs of the ex
treme eastern part OF the county are
shipped to Akron.
