INTERNATIONAL
Eco CONTEST

In the fourth week Of the laying
contest at Storrs a New York pen
Of White Leghorns owned by A. P.
Robinson of Calverton won first place
with a margin of five eggs over the
next best pen. These ten pullets laid
40 eggs for the week or yield of
one pen the others that contested for
honorable mention were all exceeding
~ close. Cloyes & Sullivan's pen Of
Buff Wyandottes from Hartford and
E. A. Billiards. White Leghorns from
Chestnut Hill, Pa. tied for second
place with 35 eggs each. Two Con-
necticut pens Of Leghorns owned by
A. B. Hall of Wallingford and Miss
Frances HI. Mesereau of West willing
ton tied for third place with "a eggs
each. Obed g. Knights White Orping-
tons from Bridgeton, r. T., and ]. O..
LeFevre's Leghorns from New Paltz,
N. Y, tied with SO eggs each. The
total for all pens amounted to 1924
eggs.
Some of the pullets, more particu-
larly the lighter breeds, are molting
which means of course, that these in
dividuals can be expected to lay only
a few if any eggs during the next sew
eral weeks. This question of mott
ing has long been a problem for the
management of the contest because
it seems hard to avoid or control The
Leghorns, possibly on account Of their
highly nervous temperament, seem to
be more susceptible to the rather rad
teal changes that are necessary when
they are transported from the place
where they were born and bred and
entered in a laying competition. The
complete change in environment ap-
pears in many cases to have an ad-
verse effect. AS an offset to this
untoward circumstance it may be said
that for the most part the birds now
sent to contests seem to possess more
vigor and vitality than those that par
ticipated a few years ago, and if a
hen has an abundance of pep she
can stand up and perform, perhaps
even mott and lay, while her weaker
sister is being coddled and nursed.
The three best pens in each of the
principal varieties are as follows:

The Sins of the Parents is the suggestive title of five reel produc- tion which will be shown at the Eagle Hall tomorrow Sunday night. The story is that of young girl who has been wrongfully be- trayed by an ardent lover, being thrown on the world to support herself as best she could with her infant daughter. The girl marries clergy man without telling him of her pre- vious misfortune and the tangle which results when the daughter of her early love and the betrayer's son cross each others path in the years following form the exciting incidents of this sensational drama. The play exposes one of the least known phases of the white slave trade and is literally alive with dramatic and sensational scenes which are acted in magnificent fashion.

 When it was announced a week ago that he had received the call, the church members felt he would accept and their fears were realized yester day when they noted that Rev. E. 0.

Pihl has taken a keen interest in the work of the orphanage for a number of years and has served as president of the board of directors as well as doing much in raising of funds to continue the work of the home. He asked that his resignation take effect July 1 and the church will take action next Mon day evening at a special meeting.
