I further find that the margin of profits on chickens is not large enough to warrant expenditures for traps, dogs and men sufficient for protection." "And how does the enterprise stand now?" asked Welton. "We are behind." "H'm. And what would you advise by way of retrenchment?" "I should advise closing out the business by killing the fowl," was Merker's opinion.
In a German manuscript I have seen, cuddled away among the foliage, in the margin, a couple of little monkeys, feeding a baby of their own species with pap from a spoon. The baby monkey is closely wrapped in the swathing bands with which one is familiar as the early trussing of European children.
About the only thing they could do profitably was to freight coal, coal freights have dropped until the margin of profit is very meager; competition is keen and for the last six months the Lion and the Unicorn have been laid up."
