WACO, Tex, April ia rooster
parade planned for next week in Waco
has caused a controversy among
chicken experts of Waco The sug-
gested parade is much the same as
the turkey trot" held in some Texas
towns when turkeys are driven to
market.
Several thousand barnyard mon
archs are to be brought here in a
concerted campaign among seven
counties to reduce the number of male
fowls.

Chanticleer Drill Sergeant Is Needed
As Waco Plans Giant Rooster Parade

The original plan was to drive the
roosters on foot down Waco's main
business tsreet. but here the argu-
mont started. Some said the roost-
crs would fight, lie down. quit walking
and refuse TO march. Proponents of
the parade said they would be driven
if enough drivers and driving equip
ment was assembled
SO this town is in the market for
rooster drill sergeant. Both sides
to the argument agree that if the
roosters refuse to parade on foot they
can be paraded in cages.

Woman Smokes; Necks Crane.

Melbourne saw it's first woman to
smoke in public recently, and the
novelty almost stopped traffic. She is
described as "saucy miss" who
boarded a street car, cigarette I'm
mouth and putting vigorously as she
stood on the step. The sight caused
as much interest as the raising of a
safe to a skyscraper Office, 1t is said,
for Australia is still conservative on
the question of woman's ways.

WILL ERECT lDDGE ON EITHER TUs1AMENA 0R
 SOMEWHERE, LAKE kENA|

Former residents of Seward for one summer were brief visitors in town yesterday with the arrival of MT. and Mrs. E. F. Wann, from Oregon, on the s. s. Lakina. They are enroute to the Lake Tustamena country where they will remain over the winter and pos sible locate permanently for they have ! in mind the erection of hunting and fishing lodge either on that lake or on Lake Kenai.
 Accompanying MT. and Mrs. Wann, was their young son and MT. and Mrs. Smith, relatives. The Smiths and the Wanns have long had plan made to enter the tourist resort business in Alaska
 MT. Smith is more or less a stran- ger in Seward but Mir Wann is known to many owing to the summer spent here by himself and family two years ago when he was associated with the Bureau of Public Roads department as resident engineer during the con- struction of the Seward-Kenai Lake highway cutoff. Their year spent in Alaska imbued them with the spirit of the country, so much so, that they have arrived to stay, to cast their lot among the Sourdoughs and do their bit to put Alaska on the map.
 While in Seward yesterday during the few hours the s. S. Lakina was in port the Wanns took the opportuni- ty of visiting many of their friends and acquaintances. They continued on the Lakina to Seldovia where they dis embark and go into the lake region.

lowing letter concerning matter
| touched on in a recent ramble:
Il read all your Sunday articles and
have read with much interest the one
you had yesterday in the Star, where

seizure of Col. Warnings property.

one Of your previous articles, but not

1t is true I was only 5 years old, but

orders of the soldiers as they marched
and countermarched down at Bald
Eagle the home of Col Waring. where
I had gone with my mother after
hearing of their trouble, it being only
three or four miles from our place.
THE trouble was caused by Walter
Bowie having spent the night there.
The house had been searched by Bak-
er's detectives and they were afraid
to go out on the porch where the man
was really hidden, and so he escaped
This Col. Baker and his detectives
came to our house one night, broke
down the doors, pilfered what they
could get and took away two horses.
My mother went to Bald Eagle and the
offlcer in charge, Capt. Duvall, was
most courteous. He told her if there
was anything she could do for the
family in distress, to do it, and not to
send to him. The result was that she
brought away the family silver and
buried it in our cellar until the own
| ers returned after the Civil War.
Otherwlse they would have lost all
that silver l can see them all now.
