A flock of the finest Plymouth
Rock chickens in the neighborhood.
He was getting some Of the best of
them ready for the county poultry
show when We were up in the country
last summer. | found him one morn
ing out back of the barn with a pull
let between his legs cleaning and oil
ing its feathers. He clipped off all
the loose ragged edges. Strengthened
out the rutiled plumage, and soon had
the young pullet looking like high
school girl ready for a party.

ben Garvey lost the first prize last

about their feathers. You usually

Would Haze More Joy
in Church Melodies

The director of a large New York
theater orchestra in a Sunday address
expressed the view that Jazz is diving
so fast that 1t will be defunct within
year.
All Of which sounds encouraging
from the standpoint of good music and
restrained taste on the part of dancers.
That the prediction will be verified
within the time limit fixed is open to
question
But there can be little reason TO
doubt the wisdom of his suggestion
that the church hymns should he
