INTERNATIONAL
EGG LAYING CONTEST

Egg production \ in the twentieth
week of the laying contest at Storrs
exceeded all expectations. The hens
laid 1913 more than for the preceding
week and 10 more than in the cor
responding period a year ago or a, total
of 4O45 eggs. Not only this but the
best weekly record of the year was set
one egg higher. For the fifth CON
secutive week Obed G. Knights pen
of White Wyendottes from Bridgeton,
R. L, won first place with a mark of
81 eggs. Rock Rose Farms Bar
red Rocks, Katonah, N. Y, were a
close second with a score of Sc eggs
for the week. Abel Latham's White
Wyand cites from Brierfeld, England
and Charles o. Polhemus' Rhode ISL
and Reds from Newburghs N. Y, tied
for third place. with So eggs each. A.
B. Halls Barred Rocks from Walling-
ford, Fairfield Farms pen of the
same breed from Short Falls, N. H,
J. z. Watson's White Wyand ottes
from Mar b1edale, Mrs. Lena, C. Bray
Silver Wyandottes from Mt. Vernon
Mo-, SpringdaIe Poultry Farms Rhode
Island Reds from Durham, and A.
Schwartz's Black Rhinelanders from
Burlingame, Cal, all tied for fourth
place with 81 eggs.
Reference has previously been made
in these columns to the production of
diversified eggs. During the past two
weeks the hens in the contest have
laid sixteen double yo1ked eggs out of
a total production of 1852 during this
period. In other words, one double
yo1laed egg has been collected on an
average for each 484 normal eggs or
approximately two tenths of one per
per cent. These figures agree quite
closely with records made at the
Maine Exp erirnent Station over a long
period. There it was found that a
n oo1,
1892 normal eggs. Multiple yolked
eggs seem to be produced chiefly by
young birds In fact the authority
cited above says that 80 per cent. of
all such eggs are laid by pu11ets less
than eight months old and that only
very few are laid by hens after
their first adult mott. It is interest
ing to compare the relative frequency
of double yolked eggs in hens with
the occurrence of twin births in the
human family. Man apparently can
not keep up with the hens. The RAJ
ito between single and double yo1k-
ed eggs and the ratio between single
and twin births is just about two to
one.

President Wilson's Good
Intentions Spoiled,

III response to petition that was
sent from here to him last July,
President Wilson directed that the
work of G. G.. Daniels and John
r. Howard be investigated, and as
a result Daniels was removed but
Howard still holds a government
position much to the prejudice of
Attorney Kearful's efforts to eX-
pedite, it is stated, the settlement
of the suits that are now pending
in the courts III manner which
will be fair to all concerned.
Inspector Traylor reported
against Howard as being incompe-
tent to fill the position of superin
tendent of this reservation, but he
did not refer to his numerous,
questionable transactions. Not
withstanding the inspectors re-
port against Howard he was simp-
ly transferred from the office of
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-06-08

superintendent to another position
in the Chippewa Indian service.
If Howard is incompetent only to
fill the position of a superlntend-
ent, be certainly is incompetent to
fill the position which be now
holds.
AS long as Howard has any con-
nection with Chippewa matters up
on this reservation, or elsewhere,
he will handicap Attorney Kear-
full, and also continue his old tricks
and make untruthful statements to
the government.
Another appeal should be made
to President Wilson since he has
shown such a strong disposition to
right what has been wrong in the
government service among the
Chippewas of this state.

ance to the singers of Indian
dances.
1t is learned that persons who
wished to bring u Merry go-round
here during the celebration have
been refused the privilege, but
! that they threaten to bring it on
the grounds regardless of the
committee which has charge of the
celebration.
This has been called to Superin-
tendent Hinton's attention by the
officers of the celebration.
In the opinion Of some of the
persons who are opposed to the
importation of a Merry-go-round,
only nominally in the name of a
member Of this reservation, Supt.
Hinton has not got the exclusive
jurisdiction over the grounds, but
it rests in the hands of Mrs. Anna
Gravelle who has applied for the
tract as an additional allotment,
and if the Merry-go-round is
brought upon the land it is prob
able that she would swear out war
rants for the trespassers.
1t is also rumored that Mr..
Fletcher will allow the machine to
be placed upon his land. 1t is not
believed that Mr.. Fletcher would
permit this in opposition to the
wishes of the community in which
he lives, for he is not seeking to
create any prejudices.
1t is i'll advised for members OF
this reservation who are constantly
seeking government positions, or
positions in the Chippewa Indian
service, to disregard reservation
public sentiment, and thus aggra
vate any i'll feeling against them
selves which might destroy the:l
ambitions.
There is no question that if the
ground used for the celebration i:
a part of the Agency reservation
Supt. Hinton can prevent tht
Merry go-round from coming
there and likewise the officers O.
the celebration can do so. But j
Mrs. Gravelle has any right as al
allottee she can prevent the ma
chine from being operated on thu
grounds. In any event she woul:
be justified in swearing out war
rants on the charge of trespass.

DARDANRLLES STILL TIGHT

The. allies are out Of Gallipoli and
SO out of all the roads which lead to
Constantinople by way of the OAR
danelles. Destined for work which
can count for more in other parts OF
the Near East, they are out of CALI
poll to better purpose in the MAX
ing of war and in the bringing OF
peace than could be served, under
the circumstances, at the foot of the
long gateway to the Golden Horn.
But neither the Turks nor the
Austro- Germans have clearer path
than before from Constantinople to
the Mediterranean and to the world
beyond. Bottled up as tight as ever
are they by the war fleets which hold
the entrance to the straits and will
not relax their grip Of steel to the
last day Of the war.
It is to the. credit of England and
France, convinced as they are that
the Gallipoli campaign was an error,
that they have acknowledged that
error and withdrawn their forces for
use elsewhere.
1T is never a mistake to so ac-
knowledge an error of undertaking.
The greater mistake would be to
continue hopeless fight.
