CROWING ROOSTERS KILLED
Smith Center, Kan. No longer
does the lusty voice of the rooster
wake up inhabitants of Smith county
in the still hours before dawn.
Branded as unnecessary among the
barnyard flocks during the summer
months, chanticleer has gone down
before the onslaughts of the cam
paign for more and better food pro
ducts.
Now there are more roosterless
flocks in Smith county than ever be
fore. A great three-day drive was
made against the male birds, and
thousands were taken to market by
farmers. Poultry authorities say the
absence of the roosters will improve
the condition of eggs fully 5 per
cent, during the summer months. •

After many hours of pitiless "third

time of his arrest Monday is given
in detail, and the Pinkerton men

No Thought of Return
When Interviewed, Shoemaker did
not express regret that he had taken

other employes, with whom he had
always worked upon the most friend

theft. It was this thought that final
ly induced him to destroy the evi
