Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 101, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 April 1915 — KEEP UP THE CHICKENS. [ARTICLE]

KEEP UP THE CHICKENS.

Probably there is no one thing that causes more trouble than loose chickens. An old hen can tear up more garden and flower seed in a forenoon than an industrious person cap plant in a week. The Republican is thus appealed to by a taxpayer: “To The Republican: “Will you kindly inform people through your columns to keep their chickens on their own premises? I think it a shame that this order cannot be enforced. There is no pleasure in trying to keep your lawn in good shape when people have the liberty to violate plans for beautifying.'—A Tax Payer.”
