Per Pound EVERY ONE GUARANTEED T0 LAY OR BUST No use kidding myself. I can’t take care of a big flock of chickens during these war days and run a newspaper, too. If I could, I wouldn’t be selling these swell young layers for 35c a pound. This is the first time I’ve ever sold them below 40c. These chickens lay so fast I can’t gather the eggs. That’s no kidding. But darned if Myra and I know what to do with more than 100 eggs a day. I'only want to get rid of part of this flock, but you can have your pick of these birds as long as you want them for layers, but please don’t ask me to sell them for eating. They are layers." Don’t worry about feed. You can get all you want if you've got time to have a little fun with a few layers in your back yard.

Austin Backus, Sales Manager & Auctioneer, Mexico, N. Y. From Pillar To Post (Continued from Page One) oil-lamps, an old fashioned coffee- mill, a shiny new frying pan, a plate of doughnuts and a pitcher of cider, a white pitcher of milk, a bowl and ingredients for pan- cake batter, two quilting frames, three workbaskets, several braided rugs, and other articles too numer- ous to mention. It was suggested in the property plan that two iden- tical quilts be procured, one in pro- cess of making, and one in process of quilting. This sounded like a marvelous idea. It would eliminate that be- tween-scene scramble to stretch a quilt upon a quilting frame, after the audience had last seen it in the work-basket. Probably there are duplicate quilts somewhere in the country, even in varying stages of comple- tion, but none of them appeared by magic on the doorstep. The quilt had to be stretched on the frame between scenes, pinned sketchily as time allowed. The property com- mittee perspired profusely when | the women who were working over the frame during the action of the On Anniversary play rested their elbows upon it. A broken crock was specified for | the action of the opening scene. | This was obtained logically enough | by tapping a crock with a large hammer. On the night of the first dress rehearsal, Papa brought on | the entire crock, slightly damaged. In the heat of his emotions he threw the crock to the floor with his en- tire hundred and seventy pounds backing up the effort. The result was astonishing. P ieces of crock flew in all directions, spraying the length and breadth of the stage, clinking against the back-drop and rattling into the footlights. The rehearsal halted in mid-air while a dustpan and broom in the hands of a member of the property committee swept up the wreckage. ! The next night Papa was more cir- cumspect. He brought on a cau- tious handful of crockery and let the pieces fall as gently as possible. Lighting a lamp on the stage is a difficult bit of action. The wick must be turned to the proper height, there must be matches at hand, there must be a designated place for striking the match, ex- clusive of the scenery. An open flame constitutes a fire hazard. The boy and girl who lighted the lamps on the stage had never handled an oil lamp. They had to practice turning the wick, remov- ing the globe, lighting the wick and adjusting it, and replacing the globe, without dropping a single line of the dialogue. One of the lamps started to smoke, and the property committee sweat blood until the girl noticed the dense cloud and turned down the wick. Borrowing authentic antiques is always risky business. An actor flourishes a bull-whip, and the properties committee cringes. It is all right if the whip winds itself about the girl’s waist. She is braced for it, and if the lash is laid ex- | pertly, it will do her no damage. But those priceless wall mottoes done in cross-stitch and brought over in the Ark or the Mayflower. | Suppose the lash brings one of them | splintering down from, the wall scattering broken glass all over the place and smashing the fragile frame? Suppose it flicks destruc- tively across the open shelves of the dresser, sweeping before it an array of pink willow-ware and hand-decorated Pennsylvania Dutch plates? The costume committee also has its troubles. Does this particular branch of the Plain People subscribe to hooks and eyes as fasteners, or is it liberal enough to allow but- tons? The Theatre Guild in New York shows buttons on Papa's workshirt. Shall we follow the precedent of the New York pro- duction, or stick-to Elsie Singmas- ter's description of Mennonite clothing? A line in the play gives the clue. The line reads, “I don’t uphold to dewices not spoke of in ! the Bible, buttons and such.” The buttons on Papa’s workshirt are definitely out, and a shirt with a zipper is indicated. A dress for the daughter must be so arranged that when Papa snatches at it in a rage, the entire sleeve will come off in his hand. Who is willing to sacrifice a dress? Somebody with a daughter five feet three inches in height and twen- ty-three inches around the waist must be persuaded to part with a dress for the occasion, and to con- sign it to the rag bag afterward. A new dress, one made with a de- tachable sleeve,,is not the answer. The script calls for a well-worn garment, somewhat faded, but neatly laundered. “ The play safely in the bag and the final curtain drawn, the prop- erty committee can not leave the scene until every item is accounted a master list. Fragile articles must be packed, articles of value taken home in the family car. The next day the head of the property com- mittee must accompany the truck driver upon his rounds, seeing to it personally that each article is safe- ly returned to its owner. It's a great life.
