PARK BENCH BUNCH
SET SELVES TO WORK
IN CITY'S COURTS

The p. b. P.'s have become s.
c. Us.
Be il known that the r. b.. Pr
are none other than the Park Bench
Philosophers. When the sun shines
and the weather is warm the Philo-
sophers are wont to languish on the
benches in Main Plaza. They bask
in the suns rays as they discuss mo-
mentous events of the day-and on
each event each philosopher has a
different angle.
But the sun has been somewhat OF
a stranger in these parts in recent
days, with rain and cold making
philosophizing on park benches rather
an uncomfortable occupation.
So the erstwhile philosophers have
we'd into winter quarters within
the courthouse, where it raineth not
and sizzling radiators warm the at
mosphere.
There they assemble in the court
rooms each day, listen to the trials
being held and become 5. c. Us.
That is to say, the philosophers
hive become Self Constituted Jurors.

POULTRY
Discuss Plan to Make
City Center Of Industry
for Southwest.

Plans to hatch 100000 chicks in
hatcheries in and around San An
tonic every three weeks are under
way as the first step towards making
this the center of the poultry industry
Of the Southwest.
The plans we're drawn up Friday
night at a meeting between Fred w
Mally and o. b. Rollins Of the agri.
cultural department of the Chamber
of Commerce and a committee Of the
Lone Star Poultry Association com
posed of V. F. Taylor, F. c. Wantz-
loeben, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Lorenzen and
G. F. Eward.
At a meeting it was brought out
that 100000 baby chicks can be
Matched in the present hatcheries in
Bexar County.
Figures, however, revealed that a
large majority of these are consumed
on the local market, either for the
production of fryers or for the in
crease of egg producing flocks.
By doubling the present producing
capacity of the hatcheries, it is said,
the industry can be expanded until il
becomes one Of the most important
contributing to the city.
In addition to supplying South
Texas, Mr.. Mally told the committee,
San Antonio poultrymen can practi-
cally corner the Mexican demand.
The Importance of this, he said, is
seen in the fact that during September
alone approximately 40 carloads Of
eggs were shipped into Mexico.
One of the first steps to be taken in
the plan, it was decided at the meet
ing. will be TO make a survey of the
1000 farms Of Bexar County with the
view of inducing the farmers to in
crease their flocks and egg production.
The possibility of expansion in this
line is almost unlimited at the pres.
ent time, Mr.. Mally said.
