INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

At the close of the forty-eighth week of the Laying Contest at Storrs the total production for all pens was i145,309 eggs or relatively 1,539 more than for the full fifty-two weeks last year. Thus all the eggs produced from now on will be clear gain over last years total and only 4,691 eggs are necessary to bring the average yield up to 15O. The total produc- ton for the week was 2,510 which, although 302 less than for the pre- ceding week, is relatively ATT more than for the corresponding. week last year.
 Tom Barron's English Wyandottes that laid ST eggs last week maintain ed their position by laying 5S eggs. Second place was won by N. w. Hen dryx's pen of White Leghorns from New Haven with a production of 46 eggs. Three pens. namely, Charles O. PoIhemus' R. L Reds from New burgT. N Y; Louis B. Prickett's Sil- yer Campines from Hazardvil1e, and the Storrs Stations sour milk pen of Barred Rocks tied for third place with a yield of 4S eggs each.
 It is interesting to note that it is the heavy breeds that are keeping the, production up during the home stretch Out of the A pens of Leg horns there were only five that laid more than 30 eggs during the week whereas among. the A pens of Rocks, Reds and Wyandottes there were twenty-one that laid 31 eggs or bet ter for the week. There were only seven birds that made a perfect score for the week. These distinguished

OUR VIEWPOINT
 NEWS LETTER
Especial to The Farmer)


 The announcement in last night s Farmer of the death yesterday of Mary NJ. Lynch, wife of Daniel P. Keane of 551 Washington avenue, Bridgeport, was shock to our towns people, with whom she was a general favorite. The friends were notified of the death immediately upon it's oc- currence, and the bereaved family last night received messages of sym pathy and coincidence from every quarter of the town. The funeral of Mrs. keane will take place, Saturday
 morning at g o'clock from St. Angus tines church, Bridgeport, and 1nter- ment will follow at the close of the church services in the family plot in St. Roses Cemetery, Newtown.
 The deceased was the oldest daugh- ter of Patrick and Hanorah FinneII Lynch of Zoar, and was native of the town. She began her busin ness career when IS years of age as book keeper for the mercantile firm of Sanford and Haw1ey of Main street, Newtown, where he was well informed in business affairs by the senior partner, who was renowned in this section of Connecticut as an exact ing tutor in commercial training, and who looked upon Miss Lynch as a protege. That she profited by this instruction her subsequent career in Bridgeport amply proves. After the reorganization of the firm, in the carly sos she removed to Bridgeport where she has since resided, but al- ways retained her love for Newtown, spending all of her vacations here. In 1905 she was, married in St. Roses church, Newtown to Daniel P. Keane, who also was trained in business by the same firm.
 Charles s. Cole of the Electrical Engineering & Storage Battery com pany is perfecting a device for auto matical1y closing the doors of engine houses after the firemen and fire ap- paratus has responded to the fM-e alarm. The mechanism is governed by time lock, and dispenses with the services of a fireman after the call who can rejoin the other fire fighters The device was tried out last week in Waterbury by the fire chiefs from various parts of the country, and the reports show all who witnessed the trial were enthusi astic in praise of the mechanism. MT. Cole sees room for further improvements.
 When the improvements are at tained a local firm will begin nnanu- featuring the device which Is already protected by pending patents. It will mean much to Sandy Hook in an in dustriaI way.

A STYLE TIP OF REAI vALT

A clever frock is this semi princess costums in dark blue French serge trimmed with buttons, apanne velvet and narrow bands of fur If the turn down collar. is not desired a vest with high collar may be substituted very easily. The. back gore and back Of the waist are cut in one piece while the skirt is four-piece model finished with g deep hem. In average size the frock requires 59s yards 44-inch mate rial. with A yard velvet and yard of fur for the trimming.
 The front gore ofthe skirt is so wide that it is necessary, when cutting. to place 1t on an open width of the mate rial. To avoid waste, the remaining sections of the pattern are cut in the same way. the serge. of course. being doubled. Twps like sides should be placed facing each other so that the various parts will not be cut for the same side.
 The piecing for the front gore is laid along one selvage edge, and next to it is arranged the shield. Opposits the gore ptecing Is the sleeve. which is pro- vfded in both plain and fancy effect, and fe the right of the sleeve comes the front of. the waist South of the front arrange the collar and to the right or this the trimming piece that appears at either side of the waist, overlapping the girdle. The long strip forming the back and the back gore runs the length of the material which comprises the area between the crossWise edge and the front gore of the skirt
 Ankle length is sure to meet the ap- proval of conservative dressers, but for shorter length the lower edges of the gores. may be cut off on single or dou-s ble ..ooss perforations. Cut off the front edge Of left front gore on slot perfora- tions.
 A marrow line of fur will add char aeteristic touch to a simple frock and an air ef distinction and elegance.

ARE FIANCEES s GOOD NURSES? ?

1
 "If he came back, wonder would he
 The rapture of the hopes that used to
 From out the tinted twilight as we
 Beneath>th' boughs in the thick. Ieafy-
 Thr5Ned with the song whose silent
 None heard in all it's ecstacy but we?
 Would he now hear that whispered
 song, and low, T
 If he came back who went so long
 Ago?"
 There is no more trying time to break in upon a tender" courtship than when a young woman who is engaged and the marriage day set for soon faces the calamity that the betrothed is i'll and her loving care only will save him. Until the hour when she will hurry to be beside him she constantly recalls his last words of devotion, his bright look when they stood in the doorway and he saw her eyes dwell with tenderness on the gltttertng ring Hpon her finger which marked their betrothal.
 Could any force of circumstance be more cruel than that which separated them through sickness? The woman who loved him better than all the world is thrown into woeful, pitiful un- rest, her heart. aching for him in his helplessness; she knows he is ever calling for her watching wistfully for her face among all others. In his weak est sufferfngs, her name is breathed on his lips. Love helps her to bear up as nothing else could do. She must come to see him on his little cot, uo matter how many of his nearest and dearest friends gather about him. His physi- elan may be one of the most skfllfu1. his nurse selected could not have been better and yet one is vitally lacking, for his sweetheart his eyes are ever turning.
 In short, he was the one ideal whose visits to her home made her surround ings a paradise on earth; who Ioved her so truly that he was ever soIicitous for her comfort; who studied her wei fare before that of his own;a who had a different love for his mother and sis ters.
 No obstacles could stay her foot steps; she was bound to reach him as soon, very nearly, as a, telephone could. What tender feelings surged in the hearts of both as her soft,t footsteps reached his side. Their 1 kisses and low fervent words made a i deep touching impression upon those 1 in the room, who turned to the win-s dows not wishing to disturb them.
