Golfers Discusses
The Championship

Golfers Weekly of November 27,
give the following version of
Lady Byzantine, the famous little
hen, recently seen by many of our
readers at the College Farm.
well, she's gone and turned the
trick! Lady Byzantine, we mean,
the White Leghorn of Delaware
College. Her 365 days are up and
she's run true to form right up to
the finish. Three hundred and four
teen eggs in that year is the exact
figure. If you don't realize what
a mark that is, stop to consider,
that in former contest prize
Plymouth Rock laid only 2S6 and
Rhode Island Red but 256 eggs.
And that the average for the ordi-
nary, common or garden, hen is
about seventy eggs to the year.
The New York "World" prints a
dispatch from Carlisle, Pa. (where
the Indians come from, about a
hen named Queen Elizabeth that
has laid 343 eggs in 343 days. This
is cockand egg story, and we
don't believe it. Delaware Col
lege's lady in White is the real
champion. In fact, the whole pen
Of five Leghorns rounded out the
year with a total Of 1911, an aver,
age Of PAP eggs per pullet. White
Leghorns are it."

Visitor At College Farm

DR.. E. S. Deubler, manager of
the well-known Pennhurst Farm of
Narberth, Pa, was visitor at the
Delaware State Farm this week.
Deubler is an old student of Pro-
fessor Harry Hayward, dean of the
Agricultural Department of Della
ware College and has been very
successful as an estate manager.
He has developed two world
champion Ayrshire cows within
the past three years. One of these
which has broken the worlds re-
cord still has about one month of
her official year and will likely
,produce for the year $4,000 pounds
of milk and about $50 pounds of
butter fat.
While this record may look small

A Boys Composition
On "The Head

The human head is located at
one end of the body and the feet
at the other. The head can be told
from the feet by shaking. If the
thing YOU are shaking is empty
and rattles it is feet.
Mems heads is held onto their
shoulders by Adams apples, while
wimmin's is united to their shoul-
ders by swan-like necks, that show
the marks of the pin feathers awl
too plane.
The front of the head is the face,
and the back is body of nothing
entirely surrounded by hair
sometimes. When man is bald it
is hard to tell which is the front
and which is the back, but intel
ligent person can always tell in
this manner: The front is full of
holes while the back is not.
Faces is useful for many things
They can be used for garden fol
growing whiskers, backgrounds
for paintings, incomes for BARRIERS
blocks for setting under hats, mir.
rors for rejecting emotions, anc
patterns for valentines. They car
also be used, when they are of the
female variety, for littering up the
covers of magazines.

Rural Credits National Issue

Director Hayward of the Della
ware College Experiment Station
addressed the students of Della
ware College during the chapel
period on November IS, on the SUBJ
ject of Rural Credits and Market
ing as National Issues" After
showing the Importance of the
subject as indicated by bills in
Congress and by commissions ap-
pointed to study the matter. the
speaker said: "The rural credit
idea had it's origin in Europe,
where it is known as the Lands.
chafts-Raiffeisen and other credit
systems. Briefly these systems are
quite familiar in some ways to the
Building and Loan Associations
which are common here and which
have done so much to encourage
thrift among the young men or wo-
men just starting life. The funda-
mental principle involved is coop
Grafton.
In the land credit scheme of Eu-
rope an association of number of
interested men is formed and all
the assets of the individuals are
pooled. That is to say, the total as
sets of the Association are given
as security for individual loans.
The association has no capital, but
when a member wants to borrow
some money to buy horse or fer
tilizer, if the loan is approved by
the director, he is given a bond.
The bond may bear only 8 per cent,
being so we'll secured, it is consid-
cred gilt edged and is readily sold
in the money market. On account
of its low rate of interest, it may
sell below par value so that the
borrower has to pay the current
rate of interest for his loan.
One Of the main differences bt
tween this bond and a mortgage
is that the borrower pays into tn,
treasury of the land credit associa
tion small amount from time t,
time and in a little while the deb
isliquidated. In the case of mort
gage, however, it cannot be pai
until due. In many cases the Dor
rover has not saved the money t
pay his debt and he is obliged t
renew it and keep on paying inter
est.

From a second drawer she sorted
a stencil pattern, according to
which in the next hour she painted
a dainty wild rose pattern. Now
then" she declared, with a sigh OF
satisfaction, when it dries we'll
cut the pattern"
The next evening the two friends
met to finish the work. A strip of
chiffon was cut nineteen inches
long and five inches wide, with the
wild rose decoration running
lengthwise of the goods. Two
more strips, each eight by five
inches were cut before the bag
was finally ready to be put togeth-
err. When finished the little novel
ty was seven inches high, and
measured five inches square at the
bottom. The two smaller pieces
were sewed to opposite ends OF
the large strip, the seam continu'
ing around the bottom of the
smaller strips, and continuing w
the opposite side. This resulted
in the square bottomed effect. Th'
top of the bag Molly directed to b'

hoop by rosettes, served as hang

The following editorial from
The Harrington Journal, states IN
no uncertain words, the benefit the
parent-teachers association has al
ready proved to that place.
"The Harrington Parent-Teach-
er Association has more results to
it's credit than any other assocla-
ton in the State. Fathers as we'll
as mothers have attended the
monthly meetings. Under their dl-
rections and the cooperation OF
the teachers, the school grounds
have been greatly improved,
clock, a gong and typewriter have
been purchased, an electric bell
system has been installed. A spec
ial committee has made efforts to
improve school attendance. A
winter Lyceum course was secured
last season and this season, the
proceeds for installing library.
Additional ground has been pur-
chased, play grounds have been in
stalled. The completion of the
basement is under way to make it
available for domestic science
school credits for home work is
also established on the new reports
printed last season. The Associa
ton is sub-dividing the work into
departments under number OF
leaders.
"It is also a member of the Ma
!, tional Parent-Teacher Association
which will strengthen the cause.
"In all, the Harrington Schoo
Faculty and the Parent-Teache
Association are making the loca
