Egg LAYING Contest.

u
Among all our domestic animals
and fowls there is perhaps nothing of
real worth to humanity that comes
more closely in contact with man.
to his profit than does the helpful
hen.
Useful for food and as producer
of food; able to care for herself and
yet responding to human attention
as do few other living things; gath
|ering Of the waste products and de-
|stroying our insect enemies, the hen
Is at once conserver and a pro-.
Queer of wealth and her daily trib-
ute is an important item in our ag-
ricultural prosperity.
The hen is the creator of approxi-
mately six hundred millions Of dol
lars OF new wealth each year in this
country and is potent factor in the
economy of all countries. In the
planning OF the great International
exposition in which education is the
chief motive 1t is only proper then
that she should receive prominent
consideration.
One Of the chief features of the
great poultry show to be held in con-
nection with the Panama=Pacific In
ternational Exposition as planned by
Chief D. o. Lively, of the Department
of Live Stock. will be an inter-
national egg laying contest which
will begin November 1. 1914,
and continue for twelve full months,
This contest will be conducted by the
department of live stock and under
the supervision Of the poultry d.
vision Of the college of agriculture
of the University of California thus
giving it the most expert supervision
as we'll as placing 1t under recog,
Fnized authority.
The contesting pens will each be
composed of ten females of the same
variety in which the birds must be
at least seven months old and not
more than eleven months old on the
opening day of the contest. The
competition will be open to the world
and all birds will be housed and fed
alike.
Diseased birds will not be re-
ceived and those which develop dis
ease or vicious habits must be re-
placed with others Of the same age
and variety by the owner. Every
care will be given the birds in the
matter of feed and attention and ev-
cry precaution taken against loss by
disease or otherwise but no responsi-
bility for losses will be assumed by
either party in charge of the con-
test.
Prices will be awarded on perform
ance and the total number Of market
able eggs produced by each pen viii
be the basis Of award.
The owner Of the pen making theI
highest annual egg record will re-
ceive 9 trophy and SIS in gold; the
second prize will be q trophy ana

Delay In Cancer.

Ia the present state OF knowledge
the chief hope Of reducing the cancer
death-rate Is found in early recogni-
ton OF the olsease followed by prompt
and competent surgical treatment.
Thousands of lives now needlessly
sacrificed could be saved If the aver
age cancer patient would go to the
surgeon as promptly as does the aver
age person attacked by appendicitis.
Nor Is there any reason why the can
Ger patient should not seek this, the
only safe treatment. with the same
high degree of confidence in the out
come that Is now common among
those suffering from the latter dis
ease. Unfortunately, the evidence is
only too clear that different attitude
toward cancer prevails and occasions
many preyentable deaths. Fhe almost
supersiueus dread of the disease
ana unwillingness to admit its ex-
istenee or to seek medical advice in
time are we'll known and difficult OBJ
stacles to progress in its control
Proof Of this fatal neglect is found
in the experience of a New York sur
geon who recently studied his case
records in order to obtain definite In
formation as to the delay in the aver
age case. Among his last two thous-
and patients there were So cases Of
CANCER. Sixty-five of these had never
{ been operated on and came to him as
new cases. OF the IS patients, 35
were men and 80 were women.

showed that after the first discovery

They are scattered about the

make Your Vacation EASY,

HdCatlOn GbkAoSs
There are different ways of relax
ing, different forms of little pleas
ures which may mean SO much IN re-
storing body and soul to normal cor
ditions. Relaxation is best acquired
through change, says Pictorial Re-
view for July. The wife Of the far
mer who finds herself blessed with a
weeks vacation, will not gain much
by visiting relative or friend on
another farm, because. during her Wis
It she will see the same round of work
and perhaps, help with it. A change
of cooking is not enough. She needs
q change of environment. II she has
relatives in the city. let her visit them,
She will find relaxation, amusement,
Just In the way her city hosts keep
house. 1t will rest her eyes to have
the confined and narrow horizon of
city buildings, instead OF the broad
sweep Of farm lands. The very bus
tie and rush of city life will rest b sr
after the dull routine and silent
nights on the farm. Contrast is rest
full.
I For the same reason. the city man
or woman who really wants a vaca-
tion.s who honestly desires to relax
and rest, will fling himself into the
woods, or. take an ocean voyage, or
live on farm. A hard-worked, sue
seessful New York woman was recently
invited to spend her vacation at an
ocean resort famous for its board
walk shops. She declined with
thanks.
s"Why should go? 1 would not
rest, would eat the same food
have in New York, meet the same
people, and even spend my money in
the same way at the same kind of
shops
She had the right idea. Vacation
means change. Relaxation means
change. They both mean the use of
new set. OF muscles and a new out
look.
Plan your vacation so that 1t will
give you change OF scene, change of
action, change of companionship-
but don't wait for your vacation to
Ielax. Start now during the long
days and the cool evenings and the
half holidays. Learn to play at
small cost. Learn to play lightly.
A little pleasure now and then is
worth more to your body and soul
than fifty weeks of grinding work
and tive weeks OF grinding fun.

THEN
So
and


+ One. hundred and sixteen
years ago today the United
States Marine Corps came into
existence by act Of Congress.
This act marked the reincarna-
ton Of that gallant body or
Continental Marines who won
the first fight in the history OF
the regular navy on the island Of
New Providence in the Bahamas
at the beginning Of the Ameri-
can Revolution. They fought
the British tars all through tho
war. managing the Long
Toms" which poured frightful
broadAides, while the American
soldiers handled the sails OF the
privateers. When peace came,
they. like all other branches Of
military service, were retired
by the Continental Congress.
The modern marines took their
places when war with France
threatened the United States in
1898. The act establishing the
corps provided for 100 priyates,
129 officers and thirty-two
drumers and fife players. Clad
In uniforms similar to those OF
