INTERNATIONAL
Eco CONTEST

It is almost unbelievable, but never
fheless a fact that the hens in the lay
ing contest at StorEs, produced Sc
more eggs last week than for the pre-
vious week and nearly 40 more than
for the corresponding week last year.
The hens were all in fine condition
and were expected to make rapid
gains under any ordinary weather
conditions. Instead of this, these
birds have wtthstood a solid week of
the lowest temperatures on record.
The ninth week of the laying contest,
constitutes the most intense and pro-
tracted cold wave during the past Is
years. A vivid idea of actual condi-
tions is readily obtained from the sub
Joined table showing the official mini
mum temperatures during the last
contest week
Friday Dec 20 Zero degrees
Saturday Dec 20 degrees below
Sunday Dec 30 II degrees below
Monday Dec 81 10 degrees below
Tuesday Jan degrees below
Wednesday Jan 2 8 degrees below
Thursday Jan degrees below
1t will not be surprising to poultry
1len to learn that a large number Of
their birds had their combs and wat
ties frozen and, of course, the Leg
horns and other light breeds Jared
worse. OF the Rocks, Reds, Wyan-'
dottes and OTpingtous, II per cent
of the birds had their combs frozen
and 13 per cent. had their watles
frozen, whereas in the light breeds,
&c per cent. of the hens froze their
combs and 16 per cent froze both
combs and wattles. In other words,
of the 1909 hens in the contest near
! 1y 450 of them have frozen combs and
nearly one-third of this number have
7 both frozen combs and frozen wattles.
y Obviously the management of the con-
test does not dare to predict what will
: happen to the egg yield during the
next week or two Meanwhile every
bird with a frozen comb has been
treated with a mixture composed of
parts Of vaselfne, 2 parts of glycer-
ine, and 1 part of turpentine.
For the fifth consecutive. week the
pen Of Barred Rocks from West

NEW BRITISH RAIDING
PLANE IS A WONDER
Climbs and Travels at Terrific
Speed with Heavy Burden.

London. Aug. S-Swarms Of a new
type Of raiding plane will soon be in
the hands Of the Royal Air Service.
This new British wonder plane. "
that its enthusiasts say may revoIu-
tionize raid warfare. is claimed to
combine enormous speed and climbing
power.
II is described as being able to climb
TO an altitude of more than 9O.O0O feet
in a remarkably short time, and IS
able TO keep up terrific speed even at
the highest attitudes. And It can &C
complish this, 1t is claimed, carrying

machine guns and other equipment.
The London Daily Express SAYS OF

ing plane, would perhaps need a whole
days preparation, will now be car

BIG PRODUCTION WEEK
In ANTHRACITE MINES

The mine workers enthusiasm over
breaking coal production records to
try to meet the enormously incrca sed
demand for fuel created by war has
reached and permeated the snthra-
cite region. Word has reached the
United States Fuel Administration
that the anthracite region produced
during the week ended August 8 the
greatest coal tonnage for any week
this year. The production of prepared
sizes amounted to 1,1S3.220 tons;
production OF steam sizes reached the
figure of 5S7.270 tons.
This is banner week. but in order
to keep up with the demand for an
thracite next winter II will be neces-
sary to keep everlastingly at IL. and
this record weeks production must be
bettered II patriotic striving can ac-
complish 1t, the Fuel Administration
declares.

Charley Mitchell all the way from
England TO help him get ready. and
on the same mission he brought Nike
Donovan from New York and Parson
Davies from Chicago.
Sullivan in the same battle
brought Billy Muldoon. from New
York. Jimmy wakely and Charley
johnson. from Brooklyn. and Mike
Costello. from Buffalo. Every one
Of them helped him get ready. and
were near him when the fight was
on.
These arrangements for training
and trainers alone cost Sully and
Kilrain a fortune.
Corbett never entered a fight with
out spending a small fortune for
training expenses.
And perhaps he reached the very
top in that line when he had his
battle. with Charley Mitchell down
in Florida. On that occasion Jim
employed Prof. John Donaldson as
heavyweight, Dan Creedon as q
middle-weight Con Mcvey as u
wrestler. and Tommy Tracey as q
lightweight Jim also put up a
handball court that cost $500. and
engaged an expert in that line 10

to 500 visitors at his training quar-
ters every day. and entertained
them royalty. He trained nearly
three months. and Il must have cost
him at least $4,000.
Then IL cost Corbett 400 In leral
proceedings to get out Of Florida
when the fight was over.
But Billy Brady, Corbett's manager,
discounted this by hiring q special
train. making q flying trip TO New
York. where he cleared over sE,ooo In
Madison Square Garden while popu-
lar excitement over Corbett's defeat

Corbett's manager, too. was the first
to take advantage OF the pictures Of
big fight and made a lot OF money
out of that. His theatrical expe-
rfence. too, enabled him to book Cor
bett to advantage on the road.
In the year following his fight with
Sullivan, Corbett was credited with
clearing up $4,000 on the road and
squandering every dollar OF Il. And
Corbett made money even while he
was training. BY doing stunts IN
Madison Square Garden one day while

The career Of Chase as . biz

to get line on the ability OF Hal. who

Pacific Coast League.
Hal at first delivered Of his best. ana
It was some best. He aspired 70 the
managership Of the Yanks. q position
he finally attained. Chase a. a man
ager was a failure. although IL may
be assumed that he did his best.
When the Federal League war broke
out Hal was one Of the first Of the
major league players TO nibble at the
big money bait offered by the outlaw
organization. He Joined the Buffalo
club OF the new league. and remained
there until the Feds threw up the
sponge.
For a long time Chase tried vainiy
to land a. job with his old associates.
Ban johnson refused to permit his re-
entry into the American League. and
IL was not until Matty took pity On
Hal that the latter came back TO the
big show.
II was often said that Hal was
Matty's right-hand man in the con-
duct of the Reds, and his playing st
