BIC GATHERING At
GLENDALE ATTENDS
CHICKEN INSTITUTE

GLENDALE, Feb. Is The Chick
en- Institute held in Glendale today
was one OF the finest programs that
| has even been presented along simi-
| lar lines by any town in the entire
state. Speakers Of we'll known
| qualifications were on hand TO give
expert advice and plenty of time was
given to each address so that full
| line of thought and study might be
carried out for those who had the
wonderful opportunity to follow out
the entire program.
The committee in charge OF affairs
| did themselves proud in that not
once did they have a lag in the pro-
ceedings, all being so constructed
that interest was manifested by the
spectators throughout the whole day.
At the early morning session a large
and appreciative crowd was on hand
at the poultry farm and some points
OF great interest 10 poultry raisers
were brought forward and thoroughly
discussed The afternoon session
held at the auditorium was good IN
every respect and a fun house was
on hand to derive benefits from the
thoughts that the speakers brought
out. At the night session while not
strictly on chickens. the talk was of
great interest and a large and appre-
ciative audience was present. At this
time a resume OF the thoughts
brought out by the speakers will not
be given as the space is limited and
really to be able to get the worth of
the talks one should have been
present.
Another feature OF the day that
was highly satisfying in both ways
was the chicken dinner served by the
ladies of the Woman's club. The
dinner was served up town at the
minimum price of so cents a plate
and while room was made at the
tables for 100, during the noon hour
these were filled several times. II
was stated that the ladies made over
$50 on the venture. It was indeed
pleasant to see the large crowd pres
ent and at the dinner tables one
~ould really single out the large num-
Der of visitors from other towns OF
he valley. Those In charge OF ar
rangements for the entire Chicken
Institute are more than pleased with
the number OF people present and
they report that all came up to ex-
pectations.

weather during the month Of jan
