CHAUTAUQUA FOR NEWARK
Enthusiasm Manifested-Fifty Citizens Act AS Guar
antors

| ters last Friday, and the local
workers met in second meeting
on Tuesday Of this week and ef-
fected organization for conducting
the necessary advertising and tick
ct selling campaign. The officers
follow: Z. G. johnson, President ;
C. A. McCue, Vice-President; T. +.
Manns, Secretary and r. l.. Rich
ards, Treasurer. The program
which is given below, includes
many excellent features. A mum
Der of our townspeople have al
ready heard most Of the speakers
and promise us that there is a
feast in store for all those who plan
to attend the entertainments.
Owing to the fact that the Asso-
citation is a no-profit organization,
it is possible to offer to the public
six excellent lectures, literary and
musical entertainments for one
dollar. The guarantors insure the
sale of two hundred seventy-tive
season tickets. The proceeds from
single tickets go into the treasury
of the Chautauqua Association.
The original plan was to hold
these Lyceum Festivals in school
houses or some community hall,
for which there would be no charge
Since this plan has proven an I'M
practical one for Newark, the ques-
ton of paying for the hall has
called for special consideration.
After correspondence between Mr..
E. L. Richards and Paul M. Pear
son of Swarthmore, president OF
the organization, the Chautauqua
Association agrees to allow the sale
of an additional number of season
tickets to cover this expense.
Should the committee fail in doing
so. the Association makes the addi-
tional offer of sharing half Of the
loss, whatever that sum may be.
This generous proposition is thor
oughly appreciated by the local
men.
A pleasing feature of the pro
gram is the Box Supper to be held
on Monday. This adds a true
touch of the neighborhood spirit,
which is the real aim of the Chau-
tauqua and should be regarded by
all those living at distance as a
special and personal invitation ex-
tended to them. A committee COM
posed of Mrs. G. 0. Houghton,
Mrs r. G. Reed and Mrs. A. G.
Whittier, was named to look after
this part Of the program. c. A.
McCue and John Nivin were ap-
pointed second committee to ex-
tend a special invitation to the
neighboring oranges.
In next weeks issue a detailed
account of the ticket selling cam
paign will be given to the public.

Prize-Winning Hen
For Egg-Laying Contest

Mrs. l.. f. Towson of Cleveland
Avenue, is the proud owner of a
mongrel hen that it is believed has
broken all Delaware records for
egg laying. This remarkable hen
since December 8, of last year when
she layed her first egg, up until the
present time has produced 276
eggs. Although there is another
month before the year will be up,
Mrs. Towson is of the opinion that
the hen is through laying for the
season as she is shedding her feath-
ers and has not layed for ten days,
the longest time that she has missed
during the eleven months. The
fact that she layed 156 eggs before
wanting to set makes her record all
the more surprising. During the
summer the hen wanted to set
number of times but on being shut
up for several days would start
right in to laying again.
| This record breaking hen was
one Of two small chicks given to
Mrs Towson's little daughter by a
neighbor in the spring of 1912. I'm
til early last summer when she was
taken sick the other hen, which is
a Plymouth Rock, had done equal
ly as well as her sister. In six
months and one week she produced
just $50 eggs. These are the only
two fowls that Mrs. Towson owns.
The owner is unable to account for
the great records that they have
made. While the hens have been
more or less pets yet they have re-
ceived no special attention that
would account for them laying SC
many eggs Their food has con-
sisted of table scraps and cracked
corn.
Mrs. Towson has been very care
full in keeping the record of the
hens. Both of them 'ayed in boxes
on the back porch. Beginning with
the first egg that was produced,
she saw each hen every day that
they got on their nest and on get
ting the egg marked it in a book tc
the credit Of that particular hen
She could see the hens in their
nests from the kitchen window
while doing her work and declares
there is no chance of her having
made mistake. Up until 10 days
ago Mrs. Towson was in hopes that
the mongrel hen would reach the
300 mark by the time the year
would be up December Z, but is
now satisfied she will lay no more
for time.
