WAR PROFITS FOR The MEN

The American hen is accustomed to
praise. Every once in a while some
enthusiast, battening upon statistics,
proves her the incompatible biped,
superior far to the goose that laid the
golden egg. The figures do not lie /;
the fact:is that all or hens combined,
fancy'and scrub stock. mother and in
cubator reared, Law 1000. 900. 900 eggs
year, or $4,000, 600 eggs a day.
These figures may not interest the
American who cracks an egg between
looks at his morning newspaper or the
housewife who stirs eggs into cake
without thought Of her good fortune.
But they are at once lure and dis
may to the egg eaters Of Britain who
realize that by comparison the British
hen is scandalously inefficient. The
British are also full of remorse at the
neglect Of the hen in the days of
prosperity. when they brought their
eggs of Scandinavia and Russia rather
than turn their shooting parks into
memories and their ruins into lncuba-
tors.
As egg imports from Scandinavia
decrease, the British look across the
water at the American hen which. as
the English said early in the war, is
doing business as usual" Yet lit
tie while and life producing shells will
join the death dealing kind in the ex-
port list. OF course we never have
more than enough eggs for ourselves
and foreign egg buying is sure to raise
the price. but who is mean enough to
deny the hard working farmers wife
who runs the poultry end of the farm

Christmas shoppers are filling the
retail stores already. That means
good times are here. not that they are
coming. Sophisticated Wall Street has
a saying that man makes no profits
until he spends them, so many slip is
there betwixt cup and lip. On that
basis big profits have been made, for
they are being spent. The retail shops
are the last ia the line. In order that
their businens may be good there must
be a long chain of profits all the way
from the original producer to the ulti-
mate consumer. If the retail shops
are expecting the best year since the
year of bad memories, 1907. it is a
demonstration that producers. whole
salers, distributors, carriers, have
profited before them. The cities are
the focus. and if the city is thriving in
the way of spending, the country has
thrived in the way of producing. Pros.

to be the motto for this fortunate land

PROCLAIM DARCY WONDER SINCE HE.
 BEAT M'GOORTY

Sydney, New South Wales, Dec. 28 Eddie McGOOrty, American middle weight, was knocked out in the eighth round Sunday by Les Darcy, the Aus tralian champion. McGoorty was so severely hurt that his seconds threw up theasponge. There were 16,00O at the bout. NThis is the second time Darcy has beaten McGoorty.
 Any doubts as to the class of Les Darcy are swept aside by his second victory over the formidable McGoQr- ty. These men had their first meet ing on July 31, 1915, and the Austra- Han thunper won by a knockout in the fifteenth round.
 McGoorty set up the claim that he had been weakened by the weight of 160 pounds, which is the Austra- Han limit of the class, and that if he had another chance he would show Darcy a. few things in the line of hard hitting. The match was readily granted by the Australian champion, and a short time before the last bout McGoorty wrote to friends in Amer ica that Darcy was overrated and was in no sense a champion.
 By, ,wayAof convincing retort, Darcy knocked out the American in less than half the time it took him to beat him in the first meeting of the pair.
 The fact that the Oshkosh. mans seconds threw up the sponge makes the victory even more thorough than the first one, for it shows that Mo -Goorty fought on at a, time when his seconds decided he had enough. Jim my CIabb3 and Jeff Smith, two other American nidd1eweights beaten by Darcy, will not receive much atten- ton in future when they try to ex- plain their defeats. Billy Murray is the only American defeated by Darcy who frankly admitted he was fairly beateh by a wonderful fighter.
 The fac that Darcy is the only fighter who ever sent McGoorty down for the full count, should convince all the doubters that the victor is the greatest naidde1weight that has been developed since the time of Fftzirn- mons.
