How Vermont Hens
Won the Championship
Of America

All loyal Vermonters have noted
with considerable pride the high
place which Vermont poultry breed
ers have always taken when their
fowls compete with those of other
States c. A. Champion, Jr, of st.
Adams, VT, one of the prize winners
in the Storr's International Laying
Contest last year in a letter to C. S.
Page of Hyde Park gives suggestion
as to how he did it, He writes;-"T
feed Pages Green bone in moderate
quantities to breeding stock, layers
and young chickens and consider it
an important item in developing and
improving my heavy laying strain.
My pen won second prize and cham
pionship Of America (all breeds. 100
pens) at Storr's international Laying
Contest last year. M
Poultrymen desiring to emulate the
example OF Mr. Campton will do we'll
to send $500 to Mr. Page and procure
200-lb. barrel of his Green Cut Bone
Meat. On receipt of check, cash, ex-
press, or postal money order the
goods will be sent freight paid to al
most any station.

Early Circulating Libraries.

Circulating libraries existed long be-
fore the invention of printing. Paris
stationers were compelled by Il law
promulgated in 1912 to keep a stock
of books to be lent on hire for the spe-
cial benefit Of poor students. Merry
weather, in his "Bibliomania In the
Middle Ages" gives Il list of books so
lent with the prices for reading them,
the charge for the loan of Bible. for
instance, being 10 sous. The earliest
known reference TO a London circulat-
ing library occurs in an advertisement
at the end of play. THE Thraeian
Wonder published 1861. announcing
that ''books may be read for a reason
able consideration" - London Chron-
icle.

MODEL WORKMEN'S TOWN.
Goodyear Tract Has Been Included In
the City of Akron. I'll,


So successful has been the home
building plan for employees Of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
that the city of Akron, o.. recently
included the whole Goodyear tract in
an annexation ordinance that has
recently been passed, and Goodyear
Heights is now a part of the city.
The plan was stared three years
ago by President f. A. Seiberling,
who felt that many of the 10000
workmen desired to become home
owners, but were barred by the
"down payments" necessary in the
usual real estate deal. Thereupon
100 acres of land were purchased
close to the plant, the ground was
allotted. streets laid out, paved, sew
cred, ETC.; water. gas and electric
light provided for and homes built
and scld to workmon on the basis of
rent no down payment being neces-
sary.

of adopting, in whole or part, similar

Something unusaI in the way Of a
service car has been put in use by the
Semmes Motor Company. 1t Is a 1915
Hudson chassis with a special body of
something of the bus type built onto 1t.
Compartments are provided for tools and
tires. Special gasoline can containers are
built into the body. Two men accompany
the service wagon at all times, one to
act as driver and the other as service
man.
II was disclosed in a report submitted
by officials of the company to John N.
WHY'S, president of the Willys-Overland
Company, on Saturday. that all previous
production records had been broken at
the close Of business on March 81.
This three months statement shows a
total of 47,465 cars manufactured and
shipped.
The month Of March just passed leads
with total of nearly 10000 cars--1s,7so
to be exact. This is compared with the
March, 1916 production of zoos cars and
shows a gain of L, T5 cars in the single
month.
Still more remarkable is the fact that
the number of cars shipped in the three
months period. January l to March 81,
comes within a thousand cars of edualing
the entire yearly production of 1914
In twelve months time, with increased
manufacturing facilities, production
figures are nearly trebled, a manufactur-
ing and marketing achievement that has
yet to be equalled in any industry.
The report of the first quarter shows
them maintaining a production schedule
of 10000 Overland and Willys-knight
cars for 1916. and marks a new era In the
quantity production of cars Of this class
and price.
Twenty-seven Packard trucks are now
in use carrying supplies and army equip
ment along the lines of communication
from Columbus, N. Mex, the base of
American troops to Casas Grandes, Chi
huahua. and probably beyond that point
The trucks were fitted with army
transport bodies in El Paso upon their
arrival there from the factory, and went
to Columbus under their own power. In
charge Of the thirty-three Packard men
who volunteered for army service Mail
matter received from members OF the
truck company indicates that the trucks
reached Columbus on March q.
special repair shop truck, fitted COM
plete with tools, a lathe, forge, anvil and
a complete set of repair parts, followed
the original shipment, leaving the fac
tory March 81. This truck also has
reached Columbus, where 1t proabbly
will be stationed. Another man, sent with
this truck, brings the total number Of
Packard men now in the service of the
government up to thirty-four.
The meager information that has come
from the country where the search for
villa is In progress tells only that the
boys are all right and that the Pack
ards are standing up perfectly under the
terrific conditions imposed by Mexican
desert and mountain roads.
