FOwLERS RECORD BREAKING HENS.
From Twelve Buff Plymouth Rock Hens He

Much has been printed concerning

NJ. Fowler of this town has been
looking up the record of his hens, and
concerning them he writes as follows:

months was 968 eggs. During this
time several of them wanted to set. five

sons average per hen for February
was exactly 9 eggs (477 eggs from SO
hens); my average for the same month
was 10 1912. l also note that Mr..
Richardson fed his hens on whole corn
and did not allow them to have ice
water. Mine received very little whole
corn but did have some cracked corn.

CHICAGO AND ST, LOUIS
VERSUS RECENT ELECTION
INDICATION THAT BRYANISM HAS RUN
ITS COURSE IN THE WEST.
Lessons Learned From the Municipal EIec.
tiOns at Chicago, st. Louis, and Towns
in Kansas-VOte In Ohio.

Mr.. Carter H. Harrison has been
elected mayor of Chicago for the third
time by a plurality of about thirty
thousand, and with vote that was
over one hundred thousand less than
the registration.
The election of Harrison was clearly
victory for the ''wide-open" element
of the population, and the good name
of the city was not considered. Chicago
is one of the most Objectionable great
cities in the country, and there is an
evident Indifference to vice, upon the
part of the authorities, that is start
ling. But if a majority of the voters
want that kind of a town that is the
kind of a town they will have. 1t
must be noted that among the op-
ponents of Harrison were the Altgeld
or Bryan Democrats, yet their Oppo-
sition was unvailing. Mr.. Harrison
appreciates the honor of a reelection,
and he promises to use every endeavor
to continue in the esteem" of the
peOple-that is in the esteem of the
people who favor a licensing of crime
by official inaction.
In the city of st. Louis a Democrat
was elected to succeed a Republican
mayor, but consolation for the RepuS-
cans there is to be found in the fact
that the new mayor is a Gold Demo
crat, who voted for President McKin-
ley in 1896 and 1900. He was opposed
by the Altgeld-Bryan Democrats, vet
he won, and there is no question of his
giving the city good administration.
The fact that in both Chicago and
st. Louis the candidates who were op-
posed by the Altgeld- Bryan Demo
Gratis were elected is an indication that
Bryanism had run its course in the
West as we'll as in the East. Bryan
prOfessed to find some satisfaction for
himself in the election of Mr.. Tom L.
Johnson, a Single Taxer, as mayor of
Cleveland
The Ohio elections showed an in
creased Republican vote in the small
cities and towns and townships, while
the larger cities showed Democratic
gains. In the larger cities voters were
caught by the Jones and johnson idea
of cheap car fare.
The local elections in Kansas scored
victories for the candidates of the
temperance people. This is good is
sue to stand for, and Kansas need not
be ashamed of the result. Voting for
temperance is mord effective and more
rational than destroying saloon prop
erty.

DELAWARE COLLEGE AFFAIRS.
Trustees Discussing Plans for the New SIS.
600 Building President Harter Away.

At their recent meeting the Trustees
of Delaware College very wisely re-
Trained from taking any notice of the
recent talk about the proposed removal
of the College to Wilmington. The
talk has done no harm. The College
has received from the Legislature an
appropriation of $685. to repair the
old dorrnitory building and 20 erect a
new edlfce for administrative officers.
DIR. Theodore r. Wolf, now acting as
the president of Delaware College in
the absence of DIR. George A. Harter,
the president, who has gone away for
his health, is now far outside of the
limits of his own State. DIR. Wolf has
done excellent work as State chemist
and there is not man in this section
who is better versed in chemistry. He
studied at the famous University of
Heidelberg. 1t is related by his
friends that he can speak German as
rapidly as he can English, and that he
can utter two words in English to one
spoken by any ordinary man. Some
excellent chemists have been students
under him at Delaware College.
Though apparently stern in demeanor,
there is not a man at Delaware Col
lege who has more genuine sympathy
with young men than DIR. Wolf.

includes the NJ. E. church of Sassa-
fras, but the Rev. Mr.. Davis has dis
continued preaching, and the hev.

The present is one of the greatest
seasons in years for fine fish in Chester
river. The water is fairly alive with
fine pan-rock and perch, and the Ches-
tertown market has been most abun-
dantly supplied. The rock range in
size from ten to eighteen inches in
length, while many of the perch are of
fine size. James Kirby, an old fisher
man, states that he has not seen as
many rock in the river for twenty
years. A few shad have been caught
but both herring and shad have made
way for the enormous runs of rock and
perch.
John H. Harrison, owner of "The
Moors" a game preserve of 800 acres
down in Maryland is going to stock 1t

with wire netting have been built for
the birds, in which they will remain
until late in the summer, when they
will be turned loose for shooting.
Mr.. Harrison has been quite success
full in raising pheasants and has the
best stocked preserve with these birds
of any in the state. Cooks Point is
an ideal place for wild game-plenty
of cover and is so situated that it is
with difficulty that game, if so inclined
can make its escape.

express the liveliest appreciation of
the magnificence of the work
The edition consists of So nages and

the finest half-tone illustrations. rep
resenting scenes and faces familiar to
the people of this part of the state.
The matter is of the best, and will
be read with interest by everybody,
embracing as it does much that was
prepared especially for this edition and
many of the addresses delivered at the
Industrial convention held here on the
18th and 18th of December.
The title page gives a magnificent
picture of Chimney Rock, one Of the
features of the wonde-i full Sand creek
formation, and in the magazine are
many more views from this same sec
ton. There are farm and ranch
scenes showing the marvellous posi-

cation that one can take pride in send
