“Justifiable Duckicide,” Says Coroner's Jury.

Thursday evening at 6:30 County Coroner Jennings Wright assembled a jury of 24 of our leading professional and business men at his home to conduct an inquest over the remains of as many dead ducks, and have the guests determine whether or not he and “Chick” Chamberlin were justified in bringing the ducks to an. untimely end. A thorough postmortem dissection of the subjects was Insisted upon by the jury, every member of which responded promptly to the summons. The deliberation over the bodies continued for about an hour and the jury came to a unanimous agreement on the first ballot that the killing of the ducks wps Justified from every point of view' And they also approved the manner In which Coroner Wright and his good wife had dressed them and the burial ceremony conducted was without any touching scenes of sorrow. We have sold since tbs first of the year over 600 barrels of Aristas flour. If the quality of the flour was not all that we have claimed for It, w» could not have sold It If you hare not used Aristae we want you to try It It makes no difference what kind of high grade floor you hare been using or If you hart bean paying |l*o to |L«O a sack Mr seme, If Aristas Is net equal or bettor we will return you your meaty. *M# a sack or 9AM a barrel
