Last week someone telephoned in an ad to the Times offering a rooster for sale. It was understood that the telephoner was Mrs. James Shummel and it was so advertised. Mrs. Shummel states that as a result of the ad, she had about a dozen inquiries for a rooster, which she knew nothing about and which she did not own. Mrs. Ben Thoma should have been credited with the ownership of the cockerels.
