Shorcy would recover. Coison and

Leach Claims His Hens
Have Made Laying Record

Ernest r. Leach of Nassalboro
strolled into the Journal office in
Waterville yesterday and answered
the question that two ladies of Pal
crmo had asked through the col
umns Of the Journal Wednesday
morning. The item that appeared
under the Palermo news was as fol-
lows: ION April & Mrs. l. n. Quigg
gathered Is eggs from Is Wyan-
dottes and r. /. hens. On April 8
Mrs. James Cunningham gathered
IA eggs from IA Columbian ,Wyan-
dottes and r.. I. hens. Cab, any
body beat that?"
Mr.. Leach said that he thought
his record a little better than that
and he showed the following figures
to prove it. Mr. Leach has 10 bar
red Plymouth Rock hens. He col
lects the eggs once a day-about 5
o'clock. On March 20 Mr.. Leach
gathered 10 eggs. Again on March
80. he gathered 10. Wednesday
morning. when Mr.. Leach received
his kennebec Journal. he read the
item in the Palermo news. and We'd
nesday night when he collected 10
more eggs he decided that his hens
were worth just as much advertis-
ing as the two focks down in Pal
ermo
Although the contest is still open
to competitors, Mr.. Leach declares
that he feels safe inssaying that no
one viii beat. his record.

drastic cut in the baseball squad and
thus release some good track material
for Coach TarboN to develop. The Co.
