FLAME BURNS BRIGHTER.
The Show That Came Back Again
Fires to Appreciation Large Crowds
at the New Majestic on Tuesday.

Fires to Appreciation Large Crowds
at the New Majestic on Tuesday.
The Flame Of the Yukon the
show that came back and came back
right, burned more brightly than ever
at the New Majestic Theatre Tuesday
evening and afternoon as record crowds
again filed the new playhouse to see
the marvellous drama of the northland.
The story of the film masterpiece is one
of those gripping northern plots, which
only the rough and daring life of the
Klondyke can present. Dorothy Dali
ton in the title role of "the fameo
that enlivened and frightened one
vicinity of the great northwest, has
caught both the spirit of adventure
and also of whole souled simplicity in
the two sided role which the character
causes her to play. With marvellous
ingenuity and her wealth Of personality
she carries the sympathy of the audi
nee with her through the varied ex-
periences Of the gambling, fighting
Klondike and casts the "spen of the
Yukon over all. The. most remark
able scene Of the whole cinema master
piece is the battle when Kenneth Har-
ris, as Jack Fowler, and Melbourne
Mcdowell as "Black jack stage a
fight to the death which holds with
gripping interest the rapt attention of
every watcher. The film is one that is
filed with action from titleto end and
well merits the remarkable patronage
which it has won in it's two presen-
tations at the Majestic this season.

American ships they were virtually at
tacking the United States. On those

if a Prussian dreadnaught had sailed

Handy Facts About The War
Patrioticettes from J. S. Handy's Speech
To ST. Matthew's Mems Club.

t'Too many Americans have not as
yet realized that we are at war. They

casualty lists from France they will
understand more clearly and feel rather
than think that their government is
deserving Of all the support they can
give It,"

 Bumper crops in turnips. beets, cab bage and winter squash are reported in various sections Of the city and the nearby suburbs and the tomato vines are freighted with fruit. The canning season for tomatoes IS now at hand and as this vegetable can be put up at minimum cost 1t is nearly all profit.
 The peach growers say they will be able to market a large crop thfs month and at price which will enable the thrifty housewife to put crimp in the high cost of a table luxury. Two years ago 1t was possible to secure in the open market 16 quart basket of high grade peaches for 5G cents, and the growers say the same conditions are liable to prevail this month. With the prospect of a reduction ir the price of sugar which is promised by govern ment officials and food administrators there will be an opportunity for the man of small means to provide well stocked .arder of fruit.

WEEKS HoNORS GO
 TO BARRED ROCKS.
Total Egg Production in 44th Week at
 Storrs Contest Was 1859.

The total egg production in the 44th week of the egg laying contest at Storrs amounted to 3559. This figure represents a gain over the previous eggs more than the production in the corresponding week last year. First honors for the week were won by Mer- ritt M. C1ark;s Barred Rocks from Francis F. Lincolns White Leghorns from Mt. Carmel Conn.,, were second with a production of 49 eggs, while two pens of Leghorns belonging to P. C.. Platt, Waliingford, Pa., and F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, Conn.,, tied for third each.
 Hen No. s23, belonging to. George htllips, Seymour, Conn.,, has distin- guished herself for the past two weeks ing this period she has laid eggs weighing a total of 67 pounds. On the weight basis these eggs are equivalent to 13 average eggs but ac- cording to the rules of the contest the bird can only be given credit for g. It is interesting in this connection that these large egss are not dcable yolked or otherwise abnormal. Perhaps the most interesting question arises from the fact that this bird has been laying normal sized eggs during the past sew eral months. Just why she should be- gin to now lay very large ones is a
 
 plain.
 The management has announced that up to the present time a totM of more than 125 applicants for the next or seventh contest have been received Needless to say. some of the applicants will have to be disappointed, as there Is only loom for 100 pens.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
