BIRTH RECORD SMASHED
LAKE COUNTY'S TIRELESS Old
STORk NOW GIVES SENES
AN EVEN BREAK.

Evidently remindful of the excep-
ton taken TO the favoritism shown by
him during the preceding month,
when he distributed twenty boy ba-
bies and only four girls among Lake
county families. the stork, during the
thirty days ending September /,
proved himself the very personifica-
ton of impartiality. OF fifty-six
births in Lake county during the
month of August last, twe%nty-eight
were boys and twenty-eight were
girls.
incidentally, the self same stork
broke two Lake county records in
two consecutive months.
The largest number of boys, in
proportion to the number of girls
ever born here, was recorded during
last July. Last month the total num-
Der of births exceeding those of any
previous month i'm the history of
Lake county by about one-fifth.
Books of Clerk of Courts +. l.. Bur
nett show that only in two previous
months did the births i'm Lake county
ever exceed more than forty. Last
February f~orty-five babies were born
and in January, 1915, the births
numbered forty-one.
There were eleven deaths and nine
marriages during August. The vital

Ion the New Year all the inhabi-
tants of the earth pass before Him as
sheep before a She ord. In these
words the ancient Jewish law book, the
Mishna, refers to the significance of
this day. 1t is a day of Judgment
when the sins and the merits of all men
are weighed by the Divine Judge. The
Talmud tells that in this annual New
Years Judgment scene three books lie
open before the Most High. I'm one
book. the Book of Life, the names of
the perfectly righteous, the sinless, are
inscribcd the second book, the book of
death has recorded in it the names of
the utterly wicked; and the third book
is for the ordinary "middle type of
men, in whose behalf judgment is sus-
pended through the ten days of peni.
tencc, until the day of atonemcnt when
the decision is finally made and record.

HERE is A RECORD
YIELD OF POTATOES
Fifty-four in One Hill on Farm in viii
Jamestown = One Tuber Weighed
2N Pounds.

A total of ID potatoes, total weight
of ID pounds and one potato alone that
weighed 2H pounds, is the marvellous
yield of single hill in a potato field
on Mt. Hope farm at Sweets Corners.
Williamstown, Mass. The hill was dug
by the manager of the farm, Nelson A.
Roberts, in the presence Of large mum
Der who had gathered for dinner. The
potatoes were brought to the center of
the town and placed on exhibition in
one of the store windows on Spring
street.
The employees of the farm, with their
families, gathered Sunday afternoon at
the farmhouse for dinner, which was
served in the big store house. After
the dinner the manager invited the
party out to one Of the potato fields ia
see the potato crop of the farm and
while there he pulled the vines and
opened one of the hills, making no par.
ticular choice except to choose hill
that looked thrifty.
Upon pulling up the vines large
number of potatoes came with them
Then the manager began to pick out
Ipotatoes from the hill and it seemed a.
! if there was no end to the potatoes il
the hill. After all had been removed
that could be taken with the hands thu
dirt was thrown aside and more pota
toes taken out of the ground
There were 81 potatoes in the hill. in
Guiding both small and large But til,
small ones numbered only five. All O.
the others were of good size or larg,
and one, big one, tipped the scales a
two pounds and quarter. The 5.
lpotatoes weighed 10 pounds immediate
~ after they were all dug.
The yield is an exceptional one, il
fact, probably a record breaker. TIL
average yield of potatoes in the stat
of Massachusetts, according to stats
ties, is a pound or less. Consequent
this hill yielded more than - times tn
average yield. The average yield
little more than 100 bushels to til
acre.
The potatoes taken from the hill cam
from the Melted Gem Potato. The see
came from Idaho, having been sent t
the manager last spring by a potat
grower of that state.
The potato contest at Mt. Hope far
is nearing the end, as the work of di.
ging has been begun. Norman Sanfor
has taken charge of the digging and
present at each field that is dug an
supervises the weighing of the hills an
their being put away for the consider;
ton of the judges. There are % co
testants and the work of digging is
considerable task.

Tribute to First Vermont.

The Vermont regiment is due to
leave for their home state tomorrow

and leave many friends in Eagle Pass

remarkable.

their places in private life we trust
it will be final and that their services

chance there should be a second call
and order be to report at Eagle Pass
they will find most hearty welcome
