Stocks of poultry in storage on Dec. 1 were over 1,500,000 lbs. less than a year ago, with every prospect that the shortage will be increased when. January 1 stocks are* pub lished. “Storage, eggs have now been pretty well used up, It has not been unusual in recent years for a rather considerable volume of storage eggs to be left over into December and even into January, and this has had a depressing in fluence on the whole egg market situation. This year the situation is considerably sounder.” That’s a strong argumenjt, isn’t it, Chicks) early? Usually, early chicks pay best, Early cockerels usually hit better markets; early pullets are fully developed and laying prem ium-sized eggs by the time the egg market begins climbing.

WESTFIELD closed years as a Carrier of mail may not be a re point of service, and it seem out of the ordin people connected with The time has passed so Twenty-two His Majesty’s cord from the may not even ary to many business, quickly that one can scarcely realize that Mr. George Maines has delivered mail to box-holders on R.R. 3, Blyth, since the year 1918. It was 22 years ago last November that Mr. Maines first commenced his duties, and, of course, our modern means of transpor tation, and the one commonly used by mail-carriers nowadays were consider ed only for those blessed with plenty of this world’s goods at that time. Mr. Maines drove mail for the first ten years with horses, alternating horse about each day. The last twelve he has used both herse and car, but of course he prefers using the car when possible because of the quickness in covering the distance. One would imagine that a person1 travelling the same concessions for 22 years would become tired of the job, and it does grow tedious especially on cold days in the winter. Mr. Maines believes that for the first twenty years that, on the average, he only missed getting through his route about three days each winter. The past two win ters being more severe, a few more days were missed. Mr. Maines re members the first winter very well. The weatherman was particularly kind to him on tint occasion, and he only- drove the cutter a week during the whole winter. The first of November that year was a beautiful day. For the first fourteen years his route was 15 miles long, but eight years ago four more miles were added to run its length up to nineteen miles. The life of the rural mail carrier is pretty much , the same as that of anyone else. With the exception of the odd family mov ing in or out, little happens on the road. Deer, which were very scarce at that time, are noticeably more num erous now. As far as the writer knows Mr. Maines did not have a bail friend on his whole route. A great many changes have taken place sinc.e Mr, Maines commenced his duties on the route. Many of the old er pioneers have passed on, and young er people have taken their place. It is with deep regret that we have learned that Mr. Maines will no long er be mail carrier on this route, due to circumstances over which he had; no control, even though the box-holders on the route did everything in their power to have him retained as Carrier of His Majesty’s mail. Mr. Maines has given the best years of his life to this work, and no mail carrier could have served more faithfully, and although his work will soon be discontinued, and we will not see his familiar face from day to day, there will linger in the hearts of the box-holders kind memories of bygone days. We know that all his friends will join with us in wishing him the best of health and prosperity. . 1 <’ ...... ‘ !
