Poultry Products
 Taken By Huns

With the British-American Armies in France, Nov. 29-Poultry owners in the little French villages from which the Germans were driven in the big Allied offensive that ended the war had a hard time of it to supply the eXacting demands of the Germans. Two eggs a week from every hen was one German requisition. If the owner failed to deliver the eggs he was fined one mark. He was forbidden to sell or kill his chickens and if one of them died he was fined 100 marks.
 Their homes were stripped of every thing that contained metal Or rubber.
 Inhabitants in all the villages re- taken by the Allied troops were allow ed only the most meagre quantities of food by the German army officers. Hundreds of them declared to the As sociated Press correspondent that if it were not for the help given by the United States through the American relief committee, they would have starved. There were times when even | some of the food did not reach them they said, because it was taken by the | Germans and used in the army.
 One resident in the town of Bohain said that 14,000 pounds of lard sent
 to the relief committed from the | United States and intended for the l population, was taken by the Germans l before they left the place.

PENN TRIUMPHS
 OVER DARTMOUTH

Philadelphia, Nov. 29-Grimy and dirty from sliding around on rain soaked gridiron, Penn's football play CTS trotted off the field yesterday afternoon happy and contented. The 1918 football season was turned into success when Dartmouth was defeated in the holiday game, The final score was Penn 21, Dartmouth, 0.
 Joe Strauss, who at the beginning of the year was one of the greatest disappointments in Penn's gridiron history, redeemed himself just as the curtain was falling in the last scene of the present Red and Blue gridiron campaign. In the fourth period he scored two touchdowns in rapid suc- cession.
 With the ball on the five-yard mark he was sent into the game and he proved that the Strauss of 1918 was as good as tfe Strauss of 1917. He ripped open the Dartmouth line for a touchdown and on the first play after the kickoff intercepted a New Eng land forward pass and ran 40 yards for the last touchdown of the season. Penn's first score also was produced on an intercepted forward pass. CIaud Crawford snatched the ball after it had been thrown by a Dartmouth back and ran 35 yards for the score 1 Bud Hopper played 8 great game
 He did not score any of the touch l downs, but his defensive work was | the best seen on Franklin Field this 1 year.

NO MATRIMONIAL PLANS
 FOR ROYAL FAMILY

London, Nov. 29-"The Prince of Wales is developing, but remains boy ish" says a morning paper which re calls that when King Edward as heir-apparent was the age of the present prince he had been married for five years, had two sons, presid ed over Q large establishment, and was admittedly the chief figure in the social world.
 The question of the princes mar riage is in abeyance, as is that of Princess Mary. Queen Victoria was determined that her daughters should marry young. and openly said so. Queen Alexandra never encouraged match making for her daughters. nor Queen Mary for hers.
 Arrangements have been made, T is understood, for the Prince of Wales to go to Cambridge this fall for an officers staff course, but the plan was altered and the prince was directed to go to France. where he visited in turn the various forces oi the Allies.

INTERNATIONAL EGG CONTEST

In the third week of the laying con- test at storrs the 1000 birds produced Q total of 952 eggs, which is laying at the rate of. 1S.6 per cent. This total is 251 eggs greater than the preceding week, but is still somewhat short Of the corresponding week last year In the present competition the pens are equally divided between Leghorns and heavier breeds. This makes it an easy matter to compare the light and heavy breeds with respect to their rate of laying. Of the total 952 eggs, less than 40 per cent. were produced by the 500 birds classified as heavy; while the 800 White Leghorns laid a total of 575: eggs. or little more than an egg per bird. There are still 23 pens which have failed to produce an egg in the three weeks they have been at Storrs. Seven of these are to be found among the Leghorns and the remaining 16 among the heavy breeds.
 ! During the current week a pen of Leghorns belonging to D. Tancred of Kent, Wash, came very near equal ing the previous high weekly record for the third week by laying 46 eggs. ! A pen of White Wyandottes belong . ing to Obed G. Knight of Bridgetor. R. l., was in second place for the week with a yield of 38 eggs, while ! third honors went to a pen of Leg horns belonging to the William l., Gilbert Home, Winsted, Conn.,, that
 laid 35 eggs for the week. No other pens were able to reach a production bf 30 eggs.
 { P0ultrym6n who have been shipping white eggs to the New York market during the past few weeks have cer- tainly been receiving a premium on
 their product. The highest price was ! reached about two weeks ago when
 top quotations on fancy white eggs
 were $1 a dozen wholesale. At the
 same time the highest grade of brown
 eggs was quoted at "A cents a dozen.
 Thus 1t will be seen that there are some New Workers who are willing to
 pay premium of more than a cent an egg in order to secure a product having a white shell. The practical point here involved for the poultry man is to ship his highest grade white eggs to market which pays a pre-
 mlum on white eggs, but TO ship
 brown eggs to some other ruarKeE,
 such as New Haven, Providence, or
 Boston, where brown eggs are worth
 as much or more than wnlte ones.
