The pen of six birds, entered

six o’clock this evening, there
seems but a small possibility of
F reem an’s birds overtaking the
pen owned by Gallatin.
The two pens ran neck and
neck for the first twro days of the
contest, being tied with eight
eggs each W ednesday evening. On
Thursday, Freem an’s pen fell far
below their record, only one egg
being produced by the pen, while
G allatin’s pen continued
their
four egg a day record, giving them
a lead of three eggs. Yesterday
F reem an’s* hens produced five
eggs, but every bird in the Galla­
tin pen produced an egg, making
a total of eighteen to fourteen for
F reem an’s birds during the con­
test.
At noon today G allatin’s
birds had not produced an egg,
while F reem an’s entries had laid
but one.
The work of crating and
shipping the six hundred birds
entered in the show started late
last night, and continued through­
out the day today. Many of the
birds are locally owned, and their
owners were on the scene early
to take home th eir fowls, but the
work of getting ready for ship­

entered by raisers throughout the

TREES ARE TO LINE
HIGHWAY BETWEEN

the five miles of highway will
be lined with English w alnut
trees. A rrangem ents for buying
the necessary num ber of trees
were completed Thursday by G. A.
Gardner, retiring county judge of
Jaekson county. “ The movement
is backed by the cham ber of com­
merce of Jacksonville,” explain­
ed Judge Gardner, “ and the trees
will be planted inside the fences,
so th a t tourists cannot raid the
trees when they are bearing a
crop. The farm ers have agreed to
the plan, and all has been a rran g ­
ed for except the actual shipment
of the stock, and the trees were
contracted for today.” Judge
G ardner retires from office next
month, and his last appearance
before the highway commission
in his official capacity was made
this week, when he sought to
have cleaned up some odds and
ends in Jackson county.
The
county has fared well a t the
hands of the commissions, because
Jackson county has always come
forward with a proposal for lib­
eral co-operation, and the con»
mission has displayed an a tti­
tude of helping counties which
displayed a willingness to go
