test. All of these great layers we're
pure bred fowls and many highly
bred for their Standard qualities.
In the last contest at the Missouri
station White Rock hen made re-
cord of 281 eggs in 365 days. 1t is
noted that the leading hen this year
has laid 249 eggs and still has 46 days
to go. This hen, if she laid each and
every day until the contest closed,
would have 295 eggs to her credit,
and in order to reach the winners
great feat she could rest IA days and
still lay 2S1 eggs in her allotted 365
days.
This contest has been useful In
many ways. It has proven that hens
with good attention will lay better
than two hundred eggs per year. 1t
is to be noted that every hen in the
contest was a pure bred as we'll as
Standard bred fowl. Every hen
comes from fowl that has been bred
IN its purity for both color and type.
These breeds are all fixtures and it
is no guesswork with the amateur
that takes any of them up. The man
who cross breeds his fowls has moth
ing to offer. He has no way OF tell
ing what kind of type a cross bred
will be or what color of plumage it
may carry. There is nothing in
crossing. 1t is the great American
fraud of poultrydom.

pertinent in building a new breed, it
is all right to cross his fowls and in
vent new breed it he can, but to
tell a man that the best layer is a
cross is only to fly into the face of
the fact that all OF the noted layers
of the world have been pure bred
birds.
We have before us the report of the
Missouri Experiment Station. We
find that the egg laying contest just
lacks forty-si days of one year. We
find that twenty seven hens have laid
better than 200 eggs each per hen.
We find that Buff Wyandotte hen
leads all varieties when it comes to
laying, with 249 eggs This hen is
closely followed by White Leghorn
that has shelled out 246 eggs in the
same length of time. The list of lay
ers are as follows; Buff Wyandotte

Efficiency and Economy the Battle
Cry of Modern Farming.

The signs of the times are apparent.
Everywhere con servation OF resources
is being heralded as a necessary fac
tor in the economical management Of
affairs.
This doctrine is especially apple
able to farm management, and is be-
ing so universally recognized among
agricultural interests that the most
decided steps have been taken OF re-
cent years to put this principle into
practical working order.
But conservation is not confined to
large agricultural interests alone.
The small farmer has come to recog-
nize that to gain efficiency in the
conduct of his farm he must follow
this same principle of outstanding his
resources, not by mere stinting, but
by provident care of all his posses
sions.
He. too, uses the latest scientific
farm and garden tools, and sooner or
later is sure to find remarkably
effective agent of conservation in the
use of natural asphalt.
He begins by using 1t in the form
of ready roofing to cover not only his
house, but every other building on
the farm, also. He sees in natural
asphalt roofing the unmistakable
economy from first to last, as it does
away with constant repairing and
gives lasting protection.
Then he looks to his foundation
walls that need water PROBING, and
uses natural asphalt there. He
learns, also, of the value of natural
asphalt as a wood -preserver, and uses
it in his fence posts, under-pinning,
troughs and bridgings. He finds out
that it slaves off the corroding of
iron, and uses it on his fencings and
metal work. He goes on from one
discovery to another and finds in
Vulnerable uses for this inexpensive
and everlasting waterproofer Of Ma
ture. which lengthens the life of SO
much of his property that he sees III
the economy of maintenance visions
of decreased expenses and increased
profits
Thus be knows he is keeping abreast
of the times and employing his time
and labor in the way that tells most.

ANNOUNCE TODAY
 RE-DISCOuN7 RATE
Federal Reserve Board Fav- ors South in Fixing Rate
 to Aid Money Market.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The federal reserve board will announce tomor- row the rate of re-discount for the federal reserve banks of the country in preparation for he opening of the banks on Monday. Because of the importance of the announcement 1t has been held up until Saturday, the last business day of the week.
 The rate will not be uniform for all parts of the country. It will be lappreciably lower in the South than elsewhere to relieve the financial situation in the cotton states. It is expected it will also 'ssae sltghtlYis lowef in New York than in other Northern states. While the board has not in- dicated just what the rate will be, ii Is the impression here it will be q trifle lower than the regular dis count rate of the banks.
 The board had to solve difficult problems in fixing a rate which will be low enough to assist the money market, but not low enough to take business away from the big national banks, which now do the re-discount business of the country.

WILSON WANTS TO
 HEAR MINERS, SIDE
President Will Send Person al Representative to Ar
 kansas Strike Zone.

Fort Saith, Nov. 13.-Advices from Washington today announce that President Wilson had or would delegate Ethelbert Stewart, specia' agent for the government, as his per- sonar representative to come to Ar kansas to investigate the difficulties between union coal miners and the -Denman Coal company which resulted in the lockout and disas- trous rioting at Prairie Creek in July. The investigation is to be in- tirely independent of the inquiry the government is already conducting
 through the department of justice
 and is to be made with view of hearing the complaints of the union miners.
 All doubt as to what action the United States government intends to take on the riot that occurred at the Bache-Denman at Prairie Creek July IS last, after Judge Frank A. Youman of the United States court issued 2 permanent injunction against uni on
 minels and others, was removed to- day when Frank and John Barret' were arrested at Hartford by Deputy United States Marshal Tom Black on !, charge of conspiracy against the government. This makes three arrests the gov
 ernment has made in this particular instance since Wednesday,.

 That violation of neutrality exists was denied to the state today by the Colombian and Ecuadorian legations. Chile has alraady proved to Grea1 Britain that she had not violated neutrality, either by the use of wire less or favorishm to merchant ships of any of the belligerents. I was freely admitted at the state deparment tonight that the Monroe doctrine may become involved Il Great Britain and France should de' termine to investigate with their war. ships whether there were alleged wireless stations on the Colombian coast or that there was an actual base of supplies and wireless outfits on the islands in the interest of Ger many.

London, Nov. 13.-German activi- .ties lin the air, on the sea and be- meath it. all threatening the seq coast today caused considerable ex- citement in London.
 ? German aviators have succeeded in flying over Sheaness 9 fortified sea- port in Kent, at the mouth of the Thames, and 45 miles from London over Hardwich, 70 miles from Lon- don, in Essex, according to informa- .tion given the press in Berlin.
 A number of German submarines are reported again to be operating off the Belgian coast. A. news dis patch from Dunkirk says one of them was sunk by a French torpedo boat off Westend today, while the sub marine was trying to launch tor pedo against a French warship. The French commander sighted the peris- cope of the submarine in time to change his course and avoid danger then turning the destroyer, rammed the submarine. A large quantity of oil arose to the surface at the point where the submarine sank, and the French commander reported his be- lief that it had been destroyed.
 A dispatch to the London Star states that it is believed the allies have destroyed two German subma- rines off Dover. One is reported to have sunk after an explosion of ] mine by. mine sweeper, and the other was said 10 have been shelled

Texas Goes tN Tamnico

Washington, Nov. 13.-Hurried orders were given out tonight to, the baftleship Texas, now at tsalvedtop to proceed at once to Mexican waters Ihls abrupt action of the navy de- partment was taken after news had arrived here that General Villa with Ills forces was marching from San Luis Potosl to attack and captu.e lampico. Secretary of State Bryan conferred with the president about 1t and later there was a conference between MT. Bryan and the Secretary of the navy.
 The quick action of the govern ment in dispatching the Texas to Mexican waters is due to the stand taken by the state department some time ago that Tampico is a free port The Texas is expected to get orders to go straight to Tampico. Her going there means that the government in. tends to keep Tampico open at all hazards.
 1t is taken as an accepted fact that Villa. tc succeed in his overthrow of Carranza and to make himself dicta- tor, must have the port of Tampico the great prize for all the revolution lsts in Mexico. The orders to the Texas will be merely to take up a position ill the harbor of Tampico. Jt IS the assumed the approach of tho battlcship will serve to cool the ardor or Villa to close up TampiO,
