this may be found in a new exten-

tion and use of an 8 x 12 foot, 25-

portable wire porch which makes it
possible to keep a few hens satis
factorily under confinement. Hens
penned up won't be scratching the

County Lagging in
Purchase of Bonds
Other Sections Go
Over Top After
First Few Days
While reports from other sections
of the state indicate that the Fourth
War Loan is going over in high
gear, local officials are loath to re
port that Morrow county is scarce

not in line with past performance,
state, and plans now are going
forward to launch a general canvass
to put this county in the
list of
those going over the top.
Bonds are being purchased in
blocks by corporations and other
organizations represented in the
county. Standard Oil Company of
California, following its usual pol
icy, has allocated $8,000 to Morrow
county which has been invested in
the Ws percent certificate bonds.
The Federal Land Bank of Spo

to the county, and some investors
have taken generous slices, but the
buying has been sporadic and will
