Aledo, Jan. 6.-To A R

Mercer county farm bureau,
must go the credit of knowing
a chicken when he sees one.

TENS, two pens were built in
the farm bureau Office window
here. Out of the same flock of
chickens Mr.. Kemp selected
three hens which he alleged to
be layers and three non-layers
and Mr.. Kemp won. The ex-
pertinent was started the mid
die part of December and up to
this morning p eggs had been
obtained from the pen of the
layers and none from the 9TH

shorts. tankage, oyster shell
and charcoal from a self-feeder
and are given plenty of fresh
water.

victory over the local boys in a
close, hard fought battle. The
same five men who started for Gen
eseo remained in the game to the
finish and the play was considered
fast in view of the lack of training
OF the local boys.
The star of the game was Sea-
bert of Annawan, who is a good
floor man, and has fine eye for
the basket Annawan was weak on
free throws, scoring only one point
in 10 efforts. Fitzkee and J. Boyd
also played with credit. Moon at
standing guard stopped many rush
es for the basket.
For Geneseo, Hillmer played
above expectations. Snow and
Hippler each scored two baskets
from floor. Hippler failed to score
on a free throw in the last minute
of play. the success of which
would have tied the game Erd-
man and Smith at times displayed
the powerful play of which they are
capable The Geneseo team plain
ly showed lack of team play and
can consider itself fortunate that
they were enabled to make a close
game of the contest The next
game will be a return contest with
Annawan at Annawan next week

KELLEY IS NOW REAL VETERAN OF
 NEW YORK SQUAD

The trade by which George Burns was sent from the Giants to the Reds results in George Kelley being the dean of the present Giant squad in point of service The manner in which the Giants have been shaken up and switched about during the last few years is illustrated by the fact that Kelley is only 26 years old. The big first sacker first came to the Giants in midsummer of 1915 and has been continuously it's property ever since, though he was farmed out to the minor leagues a number of times and once was loaned to the Pitts burgh club for a trial of 30 days. Kel- ley became a Giants regular first sacker at the outset of the season of 1920.

EMPLOYERS ARE
 URGED TO AVOID
 THE "OPEN SHOP''
New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Committee for Increased
 Co-Operation.

Some of New Jerseys biggest busi- industrial relations of the New Jersey state chamber of commerce, in a re- port made public this week, caution all employers to avoid "anti-union coercion, " to steer clear of the various "open shop movements and to cooperate with the workers in every possible way.
 The report was written after care full survey which extended over a per iod of nine months. It has been ap- proved by the executive committee and adopted by the board of trustees of the state chamber.
 It is pointed out that there are three roads open to employers One IS the road of constructive achievement within the shop; another is that of constructive cooperation between organizations of en- ployers and those of workmen, and a third is that of the 'open shop" This last movement, i'll the opinion of the com mittee, is undermining the confidence of labor in employers and running the found ation for cooperation between them.'
 Similar campaigns in former periods of depression" the report continues, "have only resulted in redoubled growth of un- ionis1n and the adoption by it of more extreme measures in the periods of pros perity which followed and there IS no reason to believe that the result of this campaign will be different. Campaigns of this nature are leading to oppression by employers and are playing into the hands of revolutionary elements.
 EThe road of anti-union coercion ap- pears to us to be dangerous. It ought by all means to be avoided'
 The committee strongly urges the maintenance of personal departments in all big industries, and suggests the en- ployment of experts in the problems of employers and employees.
 "The efforts of ali concerned" the re- port concludes, should be directed toward devising measures for the regu- lation of industry and reduction and pre- vention of unemployment"

change in the price of bacon of from 60 to 51 cents-a difference of 9 cents. His unnamed merchant reduced the price from 42 to 37 cents-a difference of but 5 cents.
 Merchants reporting to the depart ment show decline in the price of ham from 6 to 51 cents-or II cents His retailer claims a drop of from 37 to % cents, or 8 cents.
 Instead of proving that the price de- cline has been more than is reported by the bureau, this writer actually proves that 1t has been even less than our fig ures would indicate.
 Stores reporting to the department, Mir. Stewart says, were carefully select ed number of years ago by agents from those patronized by wage earners. The prices quoted are, therefore, the prices paid by the workers. Naturally, firms are not constant, but when one firm drops out permanently another firm similar ill kind IS selected to replace 1t. As the industrial section of city changes firms are added or dropped to preserve the character of price quotations. The prices thus secured, MT. Stewart insists, are a fair indication of what the worker pays for the article carried.
