INTERNATIONAL Z
!, Eco CONTEST

In the seventeenth week Of the
laying contest at Storrs the hens made
the biggest gain in any one week
during the past two years. They laid
a total of $3.50 egg, a gain of GIT
over the previous weeks yield and
$50 eggs better than for the cor
responding week last year. They are
now further ahead of last years
record than at any time during the
contest.
The weekly honors were about as
holly contested for as in the preced-
ing week. Two pens. of White Leg
horns entered by A. P.~Robinson, Cal
verton, N. Y, and M. J. Quacken-
bush, Nutley, N. j., tied for first place
with SO eggs each. Aliens Reds from
Newport, r. l.. were a very close Sec
ond with a yield of 40 for the week
while Merrythought Farms White
Wyandottes from Columbus, Conn.,,
were an equally close third with a
yield of 48 eggs. Fairfield Farms
Barred Rocks, Short Falls, N. H., and
three pens of Rhode Island Reds,
owned by A. B. Brundage, Danblry,
Colonial Farms, Temple N. H. and
Conyers Farm, Greenwich, Conn, all
tied for fourth place with At eggs
each.
In trap-nesting hens by the thou
sand it is perhaps obvious to all that
not every egg can be absolutely iden-
titled with the hen that laid it. In
the first place trap-nests themselves
are not perfect; furthermore hens
will deposit an egg occasionally on
the droppings board, on the floor, in
the mash hopper, in the yard, in
broody coops and in other places that
investigating hens sometimes dis
cover. There are some pullets ap-
parently observed with a perfect an
tipathy for the trap-nest no matter
how convenient, how we'll ordered or
how harmless it may seem. Again
the nests are not automatic, but are
operated by attendants who are HUI
man, all of which means simply this:
the man sometimes shares with the
hen responsibility of unrecorded eggs
In spite of all this the number of I'M
identified eggs in the contest is re-
markab1y small and will not in the
course of a year amount to more than
per cent. of the total number Of
eggs collected.
The three best pens in each of the
principal varieties are as follows:

munity responded; there was not one
Stacker and the prediction was made
that not only the allotment of $4,000
charged to Latah county would be sub
scribed but much more, perhaps double
the sum- Mr.. MCGOWAN closed with
an eloquent plea for giving, and pic
tured the horrors of the 100000 dead
and 100000 manned in Europe as
justification for giving "till it hurts" "
Why the War Came.
H. R. Smith gracefully gave way to
Frederick c. Robertson of Spokane
who had been drafted at the last min
ute to address the meeting. Mr.. Rob-
ertson reviewed the causes leading up
to the war-the breaking of treaties by
Germany; the invasion of Belgium;
the outraging of neutrality of nations;
the sinking of the Lusitania; the indig-
mites heaped upon this nation; the
infamous intrigues in Russia and this
nation; the plot to arraign Mexico and
Japan against this nation the in
famous work of spies in this country,
all tending to the inevitable break be-
tween the government of the Unitec
States and Germany
Work of Red Cross.
Mr. Robertson pleaded eloquently
for liberal support for the Red Cross
depicting what glass of water,
kind word from home, the sight of the
old flag meant to an American boy
dying in foreign land Then he told
of what Red Cross help would mean
keeping the gaunt wolf of poverty
from the home in this country made
desolate because these boys went to
the front and died. He told of the
value of sanitary clothes, of skilled
physicians and nurses, of ambulances
and hospitals and all the other agen-
cies now employed for alternating suf-
fering and saving life.
America is aroused, Mr.. Robertson
said. The young men are ready to |
fight because they come of fighting
stock All are ready to work and |
fight and sacrifice for an open sea, to
guarantee liberty and safety to the |
people of the world.

attacked by seven German planes. A
captain drove down one of the hostile
machines out of control and then dived
at three others which were following
one of our machines down. He was
unable to catch up in time, however,
and our machine was forced to land
in a field, but he eventually succeed
ed in engaging one of the German ma
chimes which crashed quite near ours.
Second Lieutenant B. opened fire at
a large white two-seater which went
down and was seen to crash by other
pilots.
Lieut.. G. drove down a blnck-and-
white German scout which was also
seen to crash. A third hostile ma
chine was destroyed by Lieut.. D.
Coats of Many COlors.
The Germans are painting their ma
chimes all colors of the rainbow and
some of the shades not to be found
there. And not satisfied with solid
reds, green's, blues and so forth,
various combinations are seen. There
are yellow-topped wings with green
underneath; white wings with violet
bodies; blue and gold wings and red
noses; silver wings and striped bodies;
canary-colored bodies with blue-tipped
wings and more curious combinations
still, German pilots, it appears when
supplied with machines can then do
pretty much as they please with them,
painting them any desired colors and
changing the shape.
On the other hand the British flyers
are more modest. Their machines
are khaki, white or cream.
Day after day these plain birds and
fancy birds fight it out high in the
sky

is to be found on the earth below.
Summer skies and fine weather have
forced fighting in the air on a large
scale.
One British pilot attacked by a Ger

jammed Immediately he put down
his nose and dived with his gun at
the same time Relieving the jam he
climbed back to fight and tore off ev-

the machine gun. The German, still

fight, so the English boy-less than 81

Sour Stomach

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly ,eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine
whatever When you have sour stom-
ach take one of Chamberlain Tablets

Real Fight High Up.
Here is the official report of another
air fight which happened the same day.
Names and numbers only are omitted:
Capt. Blank, with three others of
the same squadron, dived at German
aeroplane which they riddled with
bullets and drove down. Then they
saw four red Albatross scouts and Cap
tain Blank engaged one at close range.
Eventually the German machine got
into a favorable position and Captain
Blank Immediately put his machine in
to a spin. On shaking off the Ger
man he at once regained height and
dived at another scout with whom he
fought for a considerable time. He
finally outmanoeuvered his opponent
and the hostile machine crashed.
Shortly he engaged another machine OF
the same type but he was shot through
the wrist and the top of his control
lever was carried away. Although in
great pain and flying at disadvantage
he succeeded in landing his machine

MRS. MATHIS TALKS
 ON FALSE REPORTS
 SPREAD OVER STATE
Says Hand of the Kaiser Is Behind Wild Stories Being Circulated
 Among Farmers

As result of conference in Mont gomery yesterday between Governor Henderson Richard M. Hobbie and Mrs. c. H. Mathis, work will be undertaken at once to get Alabama-its food pro- interested, actually interested, in the gen. eral conservation movement.
 Mrs. Mathis, who. returning. spent last night in Birmingham, declared that up to the present time Alabama had not become fully aroused. As illustrative of her point, she declared that in the recent att tempt at registration, only 250o women had qualified, whereas in her opinion the number should have been 500000.
 .sThe hand of the Kaiser is seen in Alabama stated Mrs. Mathis, and the circulation of false reports invariably tends to handicap our efforts. This week the wives of the state are informed that it would be foolish to continue canning, because the government intends to rob the women of their work. Next week a report is circulated to the effect that the government will commander all food products. So deeply were some farmers impressed by this rumor that they de- Clared that DeIOIe they woulu Sui ici.uci thair crops or part with them at low prices they would burn them in the field.
 ..One of the most distressing reports which have reached the farmers is that the war is . rich mans war and q poor mans fight; that America was thrown into the war by greedy munition manu- lecturers, and that the sons or the poor will die in the trenches, While the re- port is obviously false, 1t happens that many men In Alabama have been led to accept it as true.
 Mrs. Mathis stated that she had been exceedingly busy in denying reports cir culated, she declares by agents or tne Kaiser, and that much worK m tne sA ne connection is yet to be accomplished, sbe "a working directly under Herb ert C. Hoover food administrator of the government She denied report that She contemplated a visit to Russia.

RAFFERTY WANTS SHUTTLE TRAIN ID
 MILITARY CAMP

Anniston, September 25-(Special) ) Gen. W. C. Rarerty, Commanding Camp Mcclellan in the absence of Mai. Gen. Charles c. Morton, and James Mitchell, president of the Alabama Power com pary, are unanimous in the opinion that the problem of transportation to Camp Mcclellan primarily demands a shuttle train, and that it is the duty of the Southern Railway company to at once supply this demand
 General Rafferty appeared before the Annlston Chamber of Commerce Monday afternoon as a guest of honor. He was accompanied by Capt S. C. Reynolds, who has become chief of staff, succeeding Col K. s. Goodale Pleading that he was not public speaker, General Raf- ferty proceeded forthwith to contradict his words by making very happy talk. in which he praised Anniston, its climate, its people and it's excellent adaptability for military purposes.
 speaking of the transportation ques- ton, General Rafferty stated that it Is of the utmost importance that railway transportation to connect the city and the camp, thus conducting to a spirit of neighborliness, be provided at once, and he believes this can be accomplished through cooperation of the government and the local authorities
 MT. H. Mitchell has been in the city since last Friday, and has devoted all his time to study of the transportation problem. He says that the immediate problem is primarily one for the railway companies to solve. Owing to the fact that the men come to town in very large numbers only on Wednesday and Satur- day, and that the heaviest traffic is from to 9:3o o'clock, it would be out of the question for street car company eco nomically to handle the situation, but that it can be handled by railway com pany with comparatively little expense.
 Mir. Mitchell stated. however, tha' there is obviously a demond for street railway transportation throughout thu day, and he believes this should be pro- vided by cooperative effort. The Power company, he said, is willing to lend it's CO operation to any enterprise in that direc. tion, and he declared that he is not yet in position to say positively just how far his company will go in the matter as he is still studying the situation.
 After their talks, General Rafferty Captain Reynolds and MT. Mitchell, tho latter being accompanied by Genera Manager w. N. Walmsley, were rendered an informal reception.
