BE PREPARED. FREE MEN.
(From Corbett's Register)

(From Corbett's Register)
 The duty of every freeman, and his very first duty, is to prepare him. self for the defense of his freedom. To say that he is always ready to fight in that defense to his last breath, is not enough. Actually to be ready to do this is still short of the mark. He should not only be ready and willing to fight, but, he should be able to fight, to exert his courage and advantage. And this is not accom- oIished without organizati on; without constant attention to this great duty; without cheerful submission to regu- lations agreed on; without an ever active vigilance; without, in short, making all private concerns give way to this param ount consideration.
 This is the way to precludet the ne- cessity of a standing army with all it's accomplishments of heavy taxes, dissolute manners, and insidious dis tinctions; this is the way to live in safety, at peace with all the world; this is the way, and the only way, to preserve inviolate your political in stitutions, to prevent the prod1g1ous fncrease of your population and your wealth from endangering your Hber- ties asd to hand down to posterity that happiness and freedom, that ease and plenty which you have re- ce1ved from the hand@ of your wise and gallant fathers
 With these reflections deeply inn pressed upon your mind; with an anxious desire that they may awaken attention in your country; with sim core wishes for the happiness of your countrynen in general, and of your eeIves in particular. am, gentle men, your most obedient servant.

INTERNATIONAL FGG
 LAYING CONTEST

Storrs, Oct. 14-No more entries can be accepted for the fifth annual laying contest that will open at Storrs Nov. next. During the past few days applications have been received not only by letter but by telegraph and Marconi wireless. As a result the college has already been obliged to reject many applications and thus dis appoint poultry breeders whose birds would undoubtedly give a good &C., count of themselves if started in the race.
 The winners of the present contest are not yet fOregone conclusion al- though there are but three weeks to go. During the forty ninth week a number of changes occurred among the 10 leading pens. The English Wyand ottes passed a Connecticut pen of Leghorns and thereby gained sec ond place. A Vermont pen of Rhode Island Reds passed two Connecticut pens of Leghorns, thus moving up to third place. A Connecticut pen of Legh horns passed a New York pen of the same breed and are now in sev- enth position.
 The total production for the week amounted to 2,129 eggs or relatively 401 better than for the corresponding week last year. HiIlview Poultry Farms Rhode Island Reds from St. Albans, Vt, were an easy first with a yield of AT for the week. N. W. Hen dryx's Leghorns from New Haven, got second place by laying Al eggs and Tom Barron's English Wyandottes were a close third with a yield of 40 eggs. It is still the heavier breed that are largely responsible for the sustained egg yield The A pens of Plymouth Rocks, Rhode~Island Reds and WyandOttes averaged nearly 29 eggs per pen whereas an equal num- Der of Leghorns averaged only 15 eggs per pen. Although Leghorns have been leading the contest for the past 10 weeks and still are, for that matter, nevertheless they have a margin of only IT eggs over a pen of only IT eggs over a pen of Wyandottes and a margin of only Is eggs over a pen of Rhode Island Reds. Thus at this moment it looks as if either of the two latter breeds may go by the Leghorns on the home stretch. The 10 leading pens to date are as follows:

they are called upon to expend a
 large amount of money and energy in
 the defense of their business, upon which the leans so heav- fly for it's maintenance and support!
 When it is recalled that the tax
 on alcoholic beverages has yielded three billion dollars to the Federal government alone since the year 1900, tIaAt the annual liquor tax is more than enough to pay for the mainte- nance of our army and navy, and amounts to nearly half the entire rev. enue of the Federal governmental will be seen that the matter is one of supreme national importance. The question is one of alternatives, which must be taken into consideration whenever national prohibition is Ser iousIy discussed. On whom then, could the added burden fall? Possibly the remedy might be found by large reduction in the public ser vice? For example, we spent $51,- 000,00O last year for rivers and har-- bors, and $18,OOO,OOO for the support of the agricultural department, while the expenditures for public health and for the administration of ourt territories and insu1ar possessions is ah item of some magnitude If these departments were abolished and the Federal government restricted it's Op- erations to it's legislative and judicial functions, we might still be able to pay for pensions out Of present rev4 enues, even if the army and navy had to be abandoned. The issue is one which cannot be abated, if national prohibition is anything more than an academic question and the prohibit tionists must face the responsibility for it, if they are honest with the people,
