| CHICKS I N BRED LIKE HYBRID CORN

CHICKS THAT BRING NEW OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE YOUR POULTRY PROFITS Hy-Line Chicks differ from ordinary chicks. Theyiare bred by crossing highly inbred lines. Hy-Line pullets lay far better than average farm pullets. They are increasing farm egg earnings with remarkable consistency. You can reasonably expect 18,000 ot more eggs in a year from every 100 healthy Hy-Line pullets you house. The majority of Hy-Line flocks do better than this. Yearly averages of 200 eggs per Hy-Line are common. Hy-Lines have an official average of 224 eggs per bird at the Illinois Laying Test. Many other benefits that Hy-Line Chicks bring are described in our new catalog. Come in and get a copy today. A. J. Davison Pleasant Mills, Ind.

Commies Drop 4542 Battle To Kangaroos A gallant, rip-roaring comeback fell short in the final minutes and the Decatur Commodores lost a hardfought 42-45 tilt at Kirkland Friday night. Almost completely etymied by the Kirkland defense on the small Kangaroo floor during the first half, the Commies were held to a measly two field goals. Meanwhile the Kangaroos waxed plenty hot and turned the game into an apparent rout. The Commies scored first when Baker hit a one-hander in front — but they never hit again from the field until the last 45 seconds of the second period when Rumschlag finally bagged a one-hander. But Klrklapd was swishing the net from all angles, J. Arnold showing the way. The Kangaroos led 145 at the first quarter and held that seemingly insurmountable 27-9 margin at the midway mark. At the start of the third stanza the Commies started whittling away. Four of the local lads took part in the scoring from afield and when the third quarter ended they had managed to outscore Kirkland 11 points to seven, to irake it 20-34 —but they still trailed by 14. It was 29-42 with three minutes to go when things started happening. Dave Gillig, Pud Baker and Wilder led a scoring attack that netted the Commiee 13 points, while Kirkland was getting only two. The locals were still underway when the final gun cut short the rally. Baker and Dave Gillig with 11 and 10 points, respectively, led the losing locals. J. Arnold with 15 markers topped the victorious Kangaroos offense.
