posed to have caused a malignant !
growth cn the right kidney. This !
kidney wss removed last summer
and then the condition spread to
the ether organs.
Young Roberts did not believe
hie condition wss serious snd al-
vqi thought that he would re-
cover although he was t:ld that
his father could not survive. The
father tor years manager cf th;
Prairie Cotton Oil Co. and cne of

acha was stricken with stomach
mslady several months ago. He
finally went to th: Mayo Hospital
at Rochester. Minn. and was told
there that there was no hope for
him and f;r him to come heme and
get his business affaire In shape.
He arranged his business affairs
and picked out th: lot In the cem-
etery where he was to find his last
and businras associates what the
dccloro had told him and has grad-
ually grown worse since that time.

GENTRY SAYS EGG
MARRET rECl'LLAR ONE
BUI Gentry the big butler
and egg man of Chickaaha
says that the egg market la in
th; strangest position that he
ever saw it. The market is not
strong and yet there are no
eggs in storage something un-
heard of at this time of year.
With the shortage of eggs
there is also a shortage of
Chk-kens and time te little
feed to carry the flxk through
that are on hand. The short-
age of eggs is going to make
the farmers cut down on feed
to their flocks snd this Is
going to make weak eggs v
Gentry says weak trggs net v-
oniy will not hatch but they 4'
will also not keep in storage -v
So Bill says that he can't help !-
but believe that egg prices v
will show more strength later
in the smson especially if cold v
