clares he saw man in western
clothes stink away into a narrow
passage to be swallowed up by the OBJ
Security.
The limousine stopped shortly after
ward and the detective who accom-
panied Count Okuma picked up the
unexp1oded bomb. It was taken to
the Toxic military arsenal and here it
was found to consist Of a copper ket-
tie full of small pebbles, pieces of lead
and small quantity Of explosive.
There was a fuse of powder attached,
Plainly the internal machine was the
creation of an inexperienced hand, yet
had it exploded as intended its effects
would undoubtedly have been disas-
trous
Threatening letters were received
by Count OKu<a and by the house
hold department just prior to the COR
onation and threatening p1acards were
posted in one of the parks of the city.
Also, the public recalls newspaper. re-
ports that small quantity of ex-
plosive had been previously stolen
from one of the military depots. It
is not improbable that the bombs used
two days ago were manufactured from
this explosive.
Count .Okuma's, frequent utterances
keep him in the eye of the public as
the most prominent Japanese of to-
day, next to the Emperor. He was
severely attacked by the opposition
groups when he withdrew his resig-
nation as premier last year at the re-
quest of the Emperor. Political OPP
ponents declared his act to be against
the constitution and the discussion
which took place at that time may
have awakened a feeling which has
only been s1uTn bering and which
found expression In the recent attempt
to s1ayl the premier.
Countess Okuma was as unmoved
by the incident as her premier-hus-
band She told an interviewer that
felt that her husbands life was ex-
posed to danger danger, which, she
said, she was always ready to share
with him.
The newspaper Ashat has been
maintaining the theory that the out
rage was the work of two Japanese
men who were hired or instfgated by
some third party. The newspaper
claims to possess Information that the
suspicion of the police has been direct
ed towards Chinese revo1utionists resi-
dent in Japan on the ground that they
may have tried to assassinate Count
Okuma as a means of checking the
Japanese governments recognition of
them onarchy in China. This theory
is based on, Che assumption that Chow
Tze-chi, the Chinese minister of COM
merce and agriculture who is coming
to Toxic to convey congratulations to
Emperor Yoshihito on his coronation.
will also seek to secure Jepan's recog-
milton of the proposed monarchy.

INTERNATIONAL
EGG LAYING CONTEST

Last weeks pen record q so eggs
made by A. Schwarz's pen of Black
Rhinelanders from BurHngame,- Cal,
has now been broken by a New Hamp-
shire pen of Rhode Island Reds own
ed by A. W. Rumery of Danvil1e. This
pen was an easy first for the week
with 81 eggs to their credit. Obed G..
knights pen of White Wyandottes
from Bridgeton. r. I. were second
with % eggs and Tom Barron's pen
of the same breed from aCtforth, Eng
land were third with As eggs. Two
pens of Rhode Island Reds owned by
Chas. o. Tolhemus, Newburgh, N. T.,
and F'atherIand Farm. Byffeld, Mass.
tied with A eggs each.
There were total of twenty-eight
pens including Barred and White
Rocks, White and silver Wyandottes,
Rh ode Island Reds, White Leghorns.
Mottled Anconas, and Oregons that
made a SO per cent. yield or better
during the fifteenth week. All the
pens taken together laid 1920 eggs, a
little less than for the proceeding
week but an even 400 eggs better than
for the corresponding week last year.
Thus the hens are steadfastly increas-
ing their margin over last years pro-
duction.
A mistake is often made to set the
first hen to go broody in the spring.
The best hen on any farm is the hen
which lays during the winter season
and she is usually the first hen to go
broody in the spring. About the time
the winter layer goes broody the nom
winter layer begins to produce. Set
ting the first hen to go broody in the
spring on eggs from the flock usually
means that the good winter layer is
set on non-winter layers eggs and as
q result the good winter layer spends
three weeks incubating the eggs and
chicks. The final result is that the
good hen has spent about nine weeks
raising and brood1ng the chicks from
the poor hens eggs while none of her
own eggs have been used, for incuba-
tom

The Austrians are in retreat to-

and some guns in the hands of the
