INTERNATIONAL
 EGG LAYING CONTEST

The total production for the sixth week amounted to 1636. an increased yield. of 174 eggs as compared with the preceding week and relatively 463 eggs better than for the corresponding week last year. The heavier breeds including the Rocks, Reds, Wyan- dottes. Donainiques, Sussex, Faver- soIles, Orpingtons, and Favoyrite Hens constitute 3 per cent. of the birds en- gagged in the contest but up to this time they have yielded only AZ 1-2 per cent. of the eggs. On the other hand the lighter breeds including the Leghcrns, Campines and Buttercups constitute AT per cent. of the birds in the competition and have yielded ST 1-2 per cent. of the eggs to date. This statement does not necessarily mean that the lighter breeds are the better winter layers. It probably does mean that the lighter breeds others and hence begin to lay before hteir heavis CT sisters are fully deve1- oped
 A .carefu1 examination of all the hens in the contest during the past week revealed the fact that nearly seventy birds are melting.

ssYANKEE NOTIONS PLAY A BIG PART
 IN MODERN WAR

The European conflict would have assumed an entirely different charac- ter. and might already have been end ed by a decisive defeat except for a certain experiment which was made just eleven years ago today, Dec. IT, 1S03 on the barren Kill. Devil sand hills near Kitty Hawk, N. Q. There a couple of 'crazy Yankees, OrviIle and Wilbur Wright, the sons of a Dayton, O.. clergy1ma.n. tested con- traption consisting of wings, rudder, a little gasoline motor and twin pro- pellors. The precious pair of young fools actually expected this machine, weighing 200 pounds. to carry one of them through the air! Funny thing about it, it did! Four successful flights were made on that historic day at Kitty Hawk. The. aeroplane-for that was what those crazy Wright boys's called their contraption-rose in the air and traYeIed a distance of 852 feet, carrying one of the inventors with it-this being the first instance in history where a person has been carried from the ground in actual flight by mechanical means without artificial aids"
 While the aeropIane has not in it. self been made an engine of destruc- ton, to any marked degree, it has en- drely changed the character of war fare. Aerop1ane scouts are able to Keep so close a watch on the move ments of the enemy that surprises are almost irnpossible,s and. without sur prfses, decisive victories over a foe at all equal in numbers and general ship become almost impossible.
 The heayier-than-air flying ma chine is not the only " ankee notion which is playing a big part in the present war. The Wright brothers, who invented the flying machine in the intervals between their regular job of repairing bicycles. have had many predecessors. There was Rich ard J. Gahling, a native of North Carolina, who invented a. machine for spowing out bullets, and the impror~ . descendants of his death-dealing gun are responsible for thousands of wid- ovs and orphans. This year marks the centenary of the construction of the first steam war vessel, and the inventor was Fulton, an American. who thus became the father of the great nAvias Of ths prssent day. The repeating rifle. the torpedo, smoke

less powder, the Hotehktss shell, the revolver, and hosts of other devices for wholesale and retail murder, are the creations of American inventive genius.
 Another Yankee notion which promises to revoluti onize naval war fare is the submarine. John F. Hel- land was native of the Emerald Isle, but an adopted son Of Uncle Sam. His first underwater craft was a failure, and it now lies at the bottom of the Passaic river, but Holland persevered until he had succeeded.

Terrific fighting continues on the al
lies left wing. the most severe strug-
Gle being IN the region OF Rove. Here

the Germans attempted to bridge the
river Meuse near Mihiel, but their pom
toons were destroyed.
