Make Hens Lay More

Eggs will soon be selling at record prices Poultry raisers giving their flocks proper attention will make ex- tra0rdinary profits Government ex- pertsaa are loud in their praise of a won- derful more-egg tonic distributed by the Stock Yards Veterinary Labora- tory. This wonderful tonic shortens the moult, hastens bullets to early ma turity, tones up the entire flock, stim ulates the egg producing organs and makes every hen lay more eggs.
 Prof R. R- Harnas, poultry expert at the New Jersey station, says: This tonic is an excellent one. We have used it with great success, therefore recommend it very highly" Prof. R. L. Putins, poultry expert at the Kentucky station, writes: ''This is a most excel lent tonic-one that cannot be im- proved on-7 This marvellous more egg tonic will surely revolutonize the poultry and egg business. It certainly is a great profit producer. No poultry raiser can afford to be without it.
 Send one collar to the Stock Yards Veterinary Laboratory, 2005 Labora- tory Building, Kansas City, Mo, and you will receive 100 tablets of this won derful more-egy tonic.
 If this tonic does not make your hens lay more eggs, your money will be returned. This is guaranteed; is endorsed by a big Kansas City Ma tional Bank. Send for free poultry booklet.-Adv.

PHOENIX TOL. \. IN TNENTY-E|CHT HOURS

An obstinate ferryman, who refused to leave his warm bunk to take him and his machine across the Colorado river in Arizona, prevented Chevrolet Dick" Hollingsworth from hanging up a new record from Phoenix to Los An gcles last week. As 1t was, Hollings- worth made the long run in an even 2S hours, out of which but twenty hours was spent in actual travelling Hollingsworth used a Chevrolet Baby Grand roadster on his "jaunt," and de- clares his maximum speed did not reach forty miles an hour.
 Hollingsworth was in Phoenix sat urday afternoon when a telegram came which called him to Los Angeles. He was ready to start at o'clock ano headed for Salome without other prep aration than plenty of gas and oil, ana a radiator full of water. Salome was reached at seven o'clock, but the trlp was not resumed until eleven, as Chevrolet Dick" waited over to sec party arriving on the night train.
 The Ehrenberg ferry at the Colorado was reached at three in the morning, and then Dicks troubles began. No money offer or other persuasion could convince the ferry tender he should run his boat across the wide stream, so the Chevrolet pilot was forced to cool his heels until after seven. At Blythe, Tom Carrigan treated Chevrolet Dick to a hearty breakfast, and the run toward Los Angeles was resumed few minutes after eight o'clock
 From this point on Chevrolet Dick had easy sailing, and Los Angeles and the Stowell hotel were reached at 7:3 that night Two punctures were all the grief encountered, and Hollings- worth is willing to pit his Chevrolet roadster at any time against any car and driver who have aspirations to- ward negotiating the desert trip 1T record time.
