MORE HOUSES NEED
SAYS EAST MOLINER

George W Ross Of the East Moline
Land company is credited with the
statement that there must soon be a
need OF houses for renting purposes in
that city. More employees are being
taken on in the shops right along and
the city is rapidly being filled with
them. There are but few vacant houses
in the city now and with requests for
houses already on hand it is certain
that within six weeks every available
house will have been rented and there
will not be vacant one in the city
Railroad companies report that East
Moline business is increasing steadily

Lady Eglantine, white leghorn hen
belonging to A. A. Christian, now Of
Philadelphia. but formerly editor and
publisher of the Greensboro, Md, Free
tress. has broken all records as an egg
layer, in the North American contest,
conducted by the DelawareC CollegeEx-
pertinent Station, Newark, by laying
3l4 eggs, within 365 days. The COM
mon barnyard fowl of this country
lays an average of 10 eggs a year.
Lady Byzantine, the most remarkable
egg producer the poultry world has
known, is an example of what science
can do. She has been bred not for
beauty, nor for table excellence, but
to .ay eggs. Lady Byzantine entered
the competition on November /, 1911.
She had been hatched on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland in April of the
same year. She laid her first egg on
November 2, the day after the compe.
tltion began, so that her record of 314
eggs was really made in 3G4 days.
