City Runs Short in
 Christmas Gifts for
 Children of the Poor

The municipality's gifts to it's poor children at the High school Monday night fell somewhat short of the num- Der of applicants. Arrangements had been made to provide cheer for 75 young ones. When noses were counted there were just so of them present to which the allotted number of checks for Santa's generosity were given.
 When the seventy-fifth had step ped forward and a large corpulent Santa Claus had stripped the tree, five crestfallen faces emitted tears and loud walls.
 Santa Claus, however, did not have the art of Ching. Ling Foo, in con- sequence of which he was unable to produce from bis ample girth any thing for them. The wailing contin- ued Somebody suggested that a quarter pulled from the pockets of Santa would stop the crying.
 But Santa had fish hooks in his pockets, for his hand failed to come forth and the wailjs g continued. When last seen the children, 75 of them jub1- lant and five crying with al the power of their young feelings, were vending their way homeward.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

that the hens in the laying contest al Storrs are better birds than those en- tered in previous competitions In their total production since the con- test started November 1st, the birds are now considerably over 1000 eggs ahead of last years schedule. To be sure the management has sought con- tinually< to improve conditions. All of the houses were papered on three sides in the belief that they would be more comfortable thru the winter and yet it is not believed that these environmental changes can quite ac- count for all of the increased yield.
 A. F. Robinson's pen of White Leg horns from Calverton, N. Y., won first place for the week with yield of A eggs. Another pen of White Leg horns entered by Abel 4atham, Brierfeld, England laid fl egEs, thus coming in for second place. A Yer mont pen of Rhode Island Reds own ed by Hillview Poultry Farm, St. All bans and a Pennsylvania pen of Leg horns owned by Braeside Poultry Farm of Stroldsburg, tied for third with 40 eggs each. Of the one hun dred entries in the contest all but two pens of Rocks were producers last week.
 One White Wyandotte bullet was found to be eating her own eggs and perhaps others laid in her pen. This is rather vicious and, of course, un- profitable habit for a, hen to acquire :; not only this but it is~sometimes hard to cure. Hens probably acquire this habit by the accidental breaking of eggs in the nest or in the pen. If a bird is not particularly valuable the safest and surest cure is the hatchet, followed by a chicken dinner. As a precautionary measure it is we'll to provide dark nests< so that the birds would not find a broken egg and fur thermore if the hens are kept busy from morning till night they are less likely to acquire habits of this sort. An English writer suggests the fol- lowing remedy: Blow out the contents of a fresh egg, then fill the shell with bread crumbs and saturate with am- monfa. It is said that oftentimes a single peck at the doctored egg is sufficient and that inveterate egg eat CTS can be cured in this way.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

says Hall has ordered trouble delivered

F1odie's mind having been, in the
afternoon, thus somewhat diverted
from preparations for the party, the
decorations of the studio had devolved
