HEN AND CHICKENS BRING $51.00

The hen and brood of chickens donated to the local Red Cross by Martin Sauser brought ssl. Fiftyone men had each contributed $1 each for the hen. This makes them stockholders of the unincorporated company who had as their sole asset a hen and brood of chickens. It was decided that owing to the fact that each of these fifty men were so very busy that they would hold a drawing and she successful man was to become sole owner of the famous hen and chicks. The drawing was held Saturday night and Ray D. Thompson was the lucky man to win the prize.
