Baby Chicks Tourists flow would you -like to see 2,000 baby hicks all at once?
It would be fun would it not? Out at Mr. Fred Porterfleld's house which i about two hop, skip and jumps from the dd wooden bridge on West. Fifth street hat goes over the railroad tracks, the folks here see 2,000 baby chicks every Tuesday morning. . Mr. and Mrs. Porterfield make it a business to hatch little chicks and they have a sreat big incubator about as big as a small room which holds 1Q.500 eggs at one time. This is heated by a little coal stove and is kept always at the temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. There are electric fans inside this large incubator which scatters the heat all around. Every week cu Monday, 2,000 new eggs are put In on the very topmost shelves of the Incubator and every week on Tuesday, 2,000 little chicks are takcn out from the lowest shelves. It takes three weeks for the chicks to hatch. Your editor was at Porterfleld's last Monday afternoon and saw the baby chicks, some already hatched, some just partway out of the shell and some just beginning to crack their shell. How pretty and downy most of them were and so fuzzy and talkative! Most of them were yellow, but there were some brown ones and some cunning little black ones with white topnots. After they are hatched they are packed in grass in chick boxes and are sent to places far away, where they spend their lives. Some have been sent to Philadelphia, some to New York and some as 'far away as Georgia. From their happy "cheep, cheeps" one
imagines that they think themselves very lucky chicks to be able to see so much of the world.
CAT HAS RIGHT IDEA SAILORS DO NOT DROWN Are a cat's senses keener in some ways than tho senses of men? Some things seem to prove this. Recently nine sailors were saved from drowning, off the coast of Scotland because tho ship's cat knew the right direction to swim to find safety. Tho sailors had been on leave (ask your sailor brothers and uncles to explain this to you, if you do not know what it means) and were going back at midnight in a email rowboat to their steamer
which has to be anchored farther
out at sea than the small boats, when their rowboat turned over.
It was dark as could be and the sailors had no idea which was the right way to ewim to find their
steamer. But the cat (which they had taken to shore with them) did not wait a minute but started swimming as fast as she could in one certain direction as if it knew where it was going. The sailors followed in the same direction and soon reached the steamer and nine out of eleven men were saved from drowning.

Just Like Eskimos One day it snowed so hard that it was up to my knees. When father came home we built a snow hou.se that I could stand up in. It was eleven feet long and eight feet wide. The next day we went out doors and played in our snow
house. We made snow ice cream I and ate it in the snow 'iou -e. Wo ' walked up the side and put a flag ! on top. That afternoon we went

My New Wagon A Sad Tale Not so very long ago I bought a wagon. I got it to get my Saturday Evening Posts In. I had not had it very long until I got sick. I had to have a boy puss them for me. He took the wagon down in the south end of town and was coasting down a steep hill. When he got to the bottom of the hill he went off of the curbing with such force that he lost control of the tongue and ran into a sewer. He broke the front end of tho wagon off and went right on over the end of the wagon and skinned his nose all up. Now I have to get the front end of my wagon fixed. Freeman K. Harris.
Easter Eggs
The use of Easter eggs is an okl custom and is not limited to Christian children only. The Jews used eggs In their Feast of tho Passover, and we are told that the Persians when they keep the festival of the solar now year (or tho new year as the sun says it is) which is held in March, usually present one another with colored eggs. In some of the moorland parts of Scotland it was the custom for many years for young people to go out early on Pasch Sunday and hunt for wild fowl's eggs for breakfast, and it was considered lucky to find them. In early times colored eggs were exchanged between people, and sometimes people kept them as an amulet (or charm against evil) and sometimes they ate them.

MY AIR RIFLE I got a fifty shot Daisy air rifle for Christmas. My sister can shoot as well as I can and has killed many sparrows with it. One day I went out hunting and saw two rabbits. I shot at them and wounded one but he got away from me. I often go hunting in our wroods and sometimes I have good luck and HometUups I don't. Tiirhnrrl
