Ar,n0red Eggs, If You Please!
WAR NOT OVER FOR THIS Hen

Kennewick tops them again!
Your reporter read this morning
where a hen at Seattle, laid an
egg within an egg. But really,
folks, it was a very inferior egg.
Why, it just has an ordinary egg,
floating in egg white, and then
soft shell around both. Imagine,
a soft shell!
Well, your reporter was very

only has q whole egg complete
with shell inside it, but also has
the white, plus a yolk, and the
pay off is that the outside shell Is
hard. So, Seattle, can just take
q back seat to Kennewick.
The hen, a Rhode Island Red
belongs to Mrs. John Bleichner OF
8l8 Ave. A. The hen has hid four
of these eggs 50 far. The one we
have weighs half q pound, and has
three distinct ridges around the
middle. I guess the hen heard
about the shortages Of labor and
is doubling her out put.
