TURKEY SCRAMBLES OVER MAIN STREET
Two Bartenders Fined $5 and Costs For Mixing in Fun. FOWL A SURE WINNER Even Fights Police Attaches in Court Room This Morning. Winning two turkeys at the gun club turkey shoot, giving one with another man to charity and then being attacked by a bartender and a twenty-six pound much-alive foul with a wing stretch of more than four feet, is yesterday's experience for J. C. Hoover. John Thompson and Ed Milligan, bartenders, were fined $5 and costs in police court for the attack. After breaking ten birds and being presented with the turkey for his skill with the shotgun. Hoover took the big bird under his arm and carried it around until he was ready to go to his home on Easthaven avenue. Hoover ran to catch an interurban at Fifth and Main streets. The turkey kicked with powerful legs and squirmed loose with strong wings. Meets Waterloo. After the struggle Hoover saw the green lights on the car far away on Main street, and went to call a taxicab. He had the turkey swung over his back when he was confronted by Milligan, just closing the saloon where he and Thompson tend bar. What Hoover and Milligan believed to be a friendly argument, started in which Hoover was accused of winning the turkey unfairly Then Thompson struck one blow on Hoover shoulder, jarring the sensitive turkey Into action. While ate two tried to exchange blows, the turkey bested the fighters and hats flew In every direction. The big wings beat both men as they tried to strike each other. Then Milligan lnterferred and he was almost floored by a blow from the bird. Rsmtnert Appears, Patrolman Rammert entered the melee with a club but the turkey was a game bird and knew ft had only a short time to live. The four wrestled together but were lost and bewildered tinder the force of the blows the turkey was still administering with feet and wings. Two witnesses lnterferred; Reminert took the party to jail; and Hoover subdued the excited turkey with soothing words and strong arm. Every one concerned looked tired and haggard In police court this morning but the turkey which sat on the floor with its feet tied, using its long wings to strike the feet of any body who ventured near enough. Hoover was released and purchased an ax which he took home with his prize. COLISEUM Roller Skating tonight and all day tomorrow.

TANGO TEA FOR BURLESON GIRLS

The risk of contracting trichinosis from eating raw or uncooked pork is, according to health authorities, particularly great at the Christmas seaBon in certain sections where persons are accustomed to prepare special uncooked pork products for holiday consumption. The illness which may result from eating raw pork, known as trichinosis is caused by a parasite, or a worm microscopic In size, which occurs in the flesh of hogs. There is no known effective method of treating the disease. The patient dies or recovers apparently irrespective of the nature of the treatment. In many cases patients who have survived the acute stages of the disease have had their health more or less permanently impaired. Statistics based on microsopic inspection of over 8,000,000 hogs during a period of nine years in this country have shown that 1.41 per cent, of the hogs were infested with live trichinae. This fact alone makes it important that every one who eats pork should for the protection of health eat it only when thoroughly cooked. In this country there is no inspection for trichinosis. If trichinosis Is to be avoided these rules should be observed: First, refrain from eating pork in the raw state, including dried or smoked saugages, hams, and in fact, any kind of meat product made up wholly or In part of raw pork. 8econd, thoroughly cook all pork which is to be eaten. The trichina parasites die and become harmless when exposed to a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a short time.

"WE NEED BOOKS'" BUTJHAT KIND? County Officials Give Up in Despair Over Board's Ruling.
Has the state board of accountants the right to prescribe the kind of books the county officers of the state of Indiana shall use in keeping their records? This question is today apparently as baffling as it was yesterday before County Auditor Bowman went to Indianapolis to confer with the attorney general. The state law requires that all records shall be kept in "well bound books." There is no question that the loose leaf system gives a well bound book when the volume has been filled and filed away, but it is not so certain that the loose leaf ledgers meet the requirements of the law before they have been permanently bound. County Loses $1,000. Should the county be compelled to return to the old system it will necessitate the purchase of a number of special machines to be used on bound volumes. This will cost the county close to 51,000 and will compel the employment of a number of extra assistants in the offices of the court house. The offices of the clerk and recorder will be affected more than any others if the ruling of the board of accountants is sustained, as these offices are compelled to keep more permanent records than the others. Miss Grace Smith, deputy county clerk, stated today that . should the clerk's office be compelled to return to the use of the old style records she would be in favor of abandoning the use of machines altogether and making all the entries of the office with pen and ink. Mr. Bowman today refused to discuss the results of his conference with Attorney General Honan, stating that publicity would be of no assistance in settling the difficulty. He gave it as his opinion that additional connection of the name of a well known concern engaged in the manufacture of machines to be used on bound volumes, with the stand of the state board of accountants would do more harm than good. FINDS NO PROFIT IN EGG BUSINESS Poultry Dealer Says He Has Lost Money in Enterprize. "H. C." has sent the following communication to the Palladium: A club was organized near 1,000 years ago and membership consists of .08 of all the poultry raisers of the country. I will give my experience, although I still exist and will say it is not by the profit on eggs. Look up the hen's actual natural production of eggs and nature says in season a hen will lay one setting of eight to twenty eggs, set on them, and hatch, say, 75 per cent, then brood her litter, which takes three months. Then nature says rest, but perhaps onethird of the flock will duplicate their first litter, so a fair estimate of thirty-six to forty eggs per hen, is the condition of nine-tenths of all flocks as raised by farmers and those that don't feed high priced forcing feed ! now for the flocks that are fed forc-j ?ng feed regardless of cost. My ; flock of fifty pullets are of the best i strain that money could buy and 1 1 kept strict account. In 1912 November, 23 doz. In 1912 December, 39 doz. In 1913 January, 61 doz. Average prive per dozen, 41c, $50.43. To get this result my houses cost $62, my pullets cost $42.50, and feed for three months cost $27; net cost, $131.50, to county nothing for labor and I think that any one that expects to get rich quick will give the egg business the go-by.

PRIZES GIVEN PUPILS Rewards For Essays on AntiTuberculosis Movement.
Over one thousand pupils of the schools of Wayne county took part in the prize essay contest conducted by the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis Society. Over two hundred competed for first prire. The irst prize, a bronze medal, was awarded to Paul Allen, of the Seventh grade in the Garfield school. Prize ribbons were awarded to Mildred Delcamp, District No. 11, Wayne township, and Mary Kring, of Fountain City. Honorable mention was given to Mary Byrd, Dalton township; Verna Swisher, Garfield school; Doris Keene, Fountain City and Clarence M. Ward, Garfield school. 1 An interesting thing in connection with this list is that one of them, Doris Keene is is only in the Fourth grade. AH the essays were on the same subject, "The Most Powerful Bug in the World." The teachers read a story and the pupils rewrote the story from memory. The story was told in the third person, but the winner made his essay more effective by writing it in the first person. The following essay won the prize: The Prize Essay. "I am the bug that everybody hates. My name is Tubercle . Bacillus. I cause what is known as Tuberculosis. Everybody hates me and trys to kill me. "I am the most powerful bug in the world. I make my home wherever 1 find waste tissue. I multiply very rapidly and affect all parts of the body. "I am the one that spreads Tuberculosis. My brothers and I can ride on a single speck of dirt. I have thousands of brothers. "I like for people to spit. That gives me more of a chance to kill people. We get into some one's system and then give them tuberculosis. Sunshine and fresh air are our worst enemies. People are trying to kill us. Enemy of Fresh Air. "We can't live in fresh air, therefore when people sleep with their windows closed we have a good chance to work upon you. "The Indiana Society for Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the Red Cross Society are trying to kill me. I know it and will work all the harder to kill people. "The society sells Red Cross Christmas seals. They use the money to pay visiting nurses. I don't think that's fair. "People 6ay you should buy as many of them as you can. You better not or I will make my home in you. People use Red Cross Christmas seals take the place of ribbons, and put them on packages." LAUGHS AND LIVE NEW YORK, Dec. 24 Three square meals a day, three hours' outdoor work every day and three good laughs every hour have helped me to reach the age of 102, said Mrs. Thomas Bennett.

PRESIDENTS HAPPY Wilson Rushes Southward For Yule-Tide Joy. ON BOARD PRESfDENT WILSONS SPECIAL CAR. CHARLOTTE. S. C. Dec. 24. Bound for the sunny South in search for rest and quiet during the holiday season President Wilson was In excellent spirits when he awoke in North Carolina today. Glad that the long struggle over the currency measure was over he banished all executive business and resolutely declined to even read the morniug newspapers containing reports of his speech after signing the bill last night. He has a large batch of recommendations pertaining to the personnel of the federal reserve board with him and a sheet of reports bearing on his coming anti-trust message but It is certain he will not glance at them until his second week at Pass Christian, Miss. The president's special is speeding through Dixie with comparatively few stops and it is his desire to eliminate all "car end" receptions enroute. So far the southern populace has not both red him. CHRISTMAS TRADE DEMANDS KILLING OF CAR OF CATTLE Over a carload of beef cattle were killed this week at the Anthony Stolle and Sons plant especially for the Christmas trade. All the cattle were ot the highest type and raised in Wayne County.
