and on less feed than in pre-war years. A farmer today can produce broilers on 20 per cent less when compared to the costs of produc- ing other meats.
 Where once it took 12 weeks and l2 pounds of feed to raise a three pound bird, it is done now in nine weeks with nine pounds of feed.
 With increasing population in the United States consumption of chicken can be expected to in- crease also. The chicken producer, however, will remain in business orly if he is efficient.

Average Citizen Euts More Chicken
 Consumption Is Up
 30 Pounds Since War

Last year the average citizen in the United States ate 30 pounds of chicken, 20 pounds more than he ate in 1940 And it appears pos sible that consumption may be increased still more.
 This increase is due to a num- Der of reasons, the most important of which is the lower cost of chick en. At one time chicken cost twice as much per pound as beef. At the present time it is about the same.
 Cost has been lowered because the producer has learned to raise a three-pound bird in less time

merchant, had died in 1886.
His mother had returned to

Shortly after the adoption, Mr..
Finney came back to the United

the lad came here as Mr.. Finney's
dependent.
Don was allowed to stay here

In Maryland Race
BY the Assoeiofed Press

OAKLAND, Md, Aug. ga
suggestion that Maryland DEM
ocrats avoid a bitter fight in the
1854 primary for Governor drew
support today from five party
leaders touring Western Mary

primary idea were State Senator
George w. Della of Baltimore,
State Senator Louis L. Goldstein
Of Calvert County and Delegates
John C. Luber of Baltimore,
Richard E. Lankford of Anne

Singing Defeat inA95O.
The Young Democrats Club of
Allegany County suggested party
leaders agree on a gubernatorial
candidate before the primary
and thereby avoid a split which
would leave the Democrats weak
and disunited in the general
election. They recalled the 1850
election for Governor, in which
the Republicans dealt the Demo-
crats-split by a hard-fought
primary singing defeat.
II agree that harmony would
help the Democratic Party" said
Mr.. Dempsey. "as Gov. Nickel
din is a formidable opponent and
the next general election should
not be taken lightly"
Senator Della said he agreed,
too.
The people in my district feel
that no individual Is bigger than
the party. II the indiyidual's
personal interest Is greater than
the party's. then he should be
eliminated In the primary"
Shun Factional Fights.
0oldstein predicted another
Republican victory unless fac
tional fights within Democratic
ranks are ended.
Mr.. Luber and Mr.. Landlord
commented the party would
profit If its leaders decided on a
candidate before the primary.
McKeldin won the biggest gu
bernatorial majority in Mary
land history when he defeated

bid for reelection in 1850. Mr..

LA CROSSE. Wis, Oct. 31.-
The flrst real break in the week
old search for a pretty school
girl came today: Police Chief
George Long announced search
ers had found her abductor's
shoes.
Chief Long said the tennis
shoes were found along Highway

The development came just as
hopes we're fading for a quick
solution.

velop something" says District
Attorney John BoSShard. The
FBI has declined his request to
enter the case, since there is
no evidenceof kidnapping.
But it's almost certain Miss
Hartley was taken forcibly from
the home of Viggo and Madelyn
Rasmussen in the early evening
last Saturday. Stains outside the
home and on an adjoining house
have been diagnosed as type "A
blood, the same as Evelyn's.
