Only $1,250 for Squabs

If you had $1,260 In your hand, would you be game enough to spend it for birds? Well, maybe you* wouldn’t but there is a fellow out west who is just that game. Last' Saturday Miss Lillian Blythe, the' popular young lady. proprietor of the Homing’s Squab Lofts, of Delphi, received an order for 500 pairs of her pigeons and the draft to pay for them read: “$1,260”. The variety of birds raised by Miss Blythe, is the Antwerp Homers and as to the demand, there seems to be no limit, as the order would indicate. This will so reduce her stock of birds that she wm not be able to fill the smaller orders until later. Last season she raised several thousand birds, hut sold them in smaller orders. This is the largest order for birds that ever came to Delphi. The birds will not all be shipped at one time, but will be shipped as fast as Miss Blythe can arrange the shipments; the bids have to go all the way to Denver. She hopes to have the order filled and the last bird making its journey in thirty days—Delphi Herald. “I have been somewhat costive, but Doan’B Regulets gave just the result desired. They act mildly and regulate the bowles perfectly.—George B. Krause, 306 Walnut Ave., Altoona, Pa.
