WHAT SHALL | Do TO- Be SAVED

know what to do to be saved, will.
herewith direct you to a helping hand
standing by waiting, willing and ready,
with both hands out, ready to save
you and take you, under its wings, as
the hen doth take its chicks under its
wings to shelter them from the cold
and stormy elements. And that is
the old, the good, tie faithful few of the
members of the A. A. of l. S. and T.
w. of North America.
The Association has spent thou
sands upon thousands of hard earned
dollars, year after year Of its few
faithful members, in time of strikes,
to help the unfaithful to stand for
their lights. And in time Of peace, to
try and organize the unorganized.
The truth is this: If we were organ
lied TO-DAY as we we're twenty years
ago, the tin and sheet manufacturers
would not dare ask for a reduction.
And we would be doing today as we
used to do twenty years ago, can
honest days work for an honest days
wages" In those days we were doing
Ia reasonable days work and were paid
"a reasonable days wages for doing so.
In those days you and could take a
bath, dress ourselves and take stroll
out to enjoy the benefit Of Gods fresh
air, and come home after the stroll
lifeeling fine, and could enjoy a good
square meal, and good nights rest,
llfeefing fine the next morning, willing
and ready and glad to 60 to do an
honest days work for an honest days
wages. But how is 1t today, my broth
er and friend, you get 3215 per cent
less on the dollar, make two and a
half days in one, feeling SO tired that
YOU are ready to lie down as soon as
you arrive some. No appetite for food.
Feet and hands on fire, and cannot
! cool off nor rest for hours. Feeling
the. next morning bruised, stiff and
tired. And don't feel like going to
work at all. Now, the above is the
truth with all sheet and tin mill
workers Of the present day.
And again, the manufacturers are
still after showing US down the hill.
They have taken away already from
some of us, from. IA to- 80 per cent,
and are asking some from the faithful
few as well. Why. It Is because the
majority are unorganized. Ny friends,
the A. A. of L S. and T. W. of North
America is knocking, at your door.
And calling our, Come unto me all ye
that are weary and heavy leadep, and
/ will give you rest"

INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

T E sa s I The tVtenty-fourth week of the con- test at Storrs showed an unusually long list of pens from two countries and four different states competing for the coveted honors of the week. Bran ! ford Farm s pen%of White Rocks from l 57 eggs. D. B. Warmers pen of Reds from Brddgeton, R. |, and three pens Of White Leghorns owned by Tom Barron. Catforth,, Eng1and:S Albert & l Sonderegger, Sopth Coventry, Conn. 1; and James V. Thomas, BaHston Lake, N. ' all tied for second place with 51 keggs each.., Another pen of Branford Farms White Rocks and three pens of Eeghorns,, from F. M Peas1ey, Ches- hire, Conns;s s. sJ.s Rogers, Jnadfl1a, N. 1 r.; and George M. McM1lan. Spring i field, Mo. all tied for third place with 50 eggs, each
 Tn addition to the undsual incident l of having eight pens tied for second and third places 1t is also interesting to note that the White Rock yield of 57 eggs is the best weekly pen produc- ton made in the contest so far bykany American pen and has been exceeded F by only two eggs by foreign entry. The total yield for all pens amounted to 3,794 eggs.
 All pou1tryIBen are oubted1y get ting satisfactory yields at this season Eof the year. This does not mean, how ever, that plans ought not to be mado now to get summer eggs. that is to say those that are laid in July and August when the price is higher and 1t is more economical to feed hens, and the days are hot and thetpoultry yards have be- come bare. This suggestion does not, of course, apply Particularly to those l Ipoultrynaen who have ideal conditions for their hens, namely, free range. but unfortunately poultry yards are in most cases a necessary evil. They
 
 hens have a too restricted area over which to roam, hence it becomes nee essary to supply even in summer ad- ditionaI green food. Lettuce. Swiss chard and rape will meet the require ments. The latter two are perhaps better because they can be cut off from time to time and will keep on growing and the best part of it is that only a little land is required for this purpose. At the laying contest only about a fifth of an acre is being plant i ed and the managernent expects to have more nice succuient green food than t will be possible for thousand hens to consume.
