The Mediterranean class includes the

variety; the Ancona-two varieties,
and the Blue Andalusian. In the Con-

breeds lay whlte-shelled eggs. They

Where Egg Breeds Are Kept.

Eggs, of course are produced wher-
eve chickens are kept, and by far the
greater part of the egg crop comes
from the general farm, yet large So
called egg farms have been developed
with the main purpose of producing
egg for market. The largest of these
egg farms and the greater number of
them are located ear markets which
pay a premium for white eggs; and
for this reason, together with the fact
that eggs are primarily desired, the
breeds kept are those known as the
egg breeds, such as Leghorn, Cam
pine, Minorca and AncOna.

NATION SILL NEEDS GREAT POULTRY INCREASES

Poultry production should be increased greatly, according to the
department of agricultureis 1918 agricultural production program, espe-
cany In back yards and on farms where waste material isa available and
the purchase of expensive grains and other material is not required.
Increased poultry production may be obtained most economically,
according to the federal experts, by early Matching, by combining mother
hens att least ten days after the chicks are Matched, by reducing losses
on account of rats, 'weasels, and thieves, and cold, damp conditions, by
thorough sanitation, by discouragng the marketing of early-hached
punets as broners, by eliminating nonproducing hens and keeping good
layers through at least two laying seasons, and by the poultryman rails
Ing his own feed as far IS possible.

AMERICA STANDS BY RUSSIA
Wilson Tells Soviet Congress We
Shall Use Every Opportunity to
Gust Germans.

Washington, March 13.-President
Wilson has sent the following cable
message TO the all-Russian congress of
soviets:
May l not take advantage of the
meeting of the congress of the sOviets
to express the sincere sympathy which
the people of the United States feel
for the Russian people at this moment,
when the German power has been
thrust in to interrupt and turn back
the whole struggle for freedom and
substitute the wishes of Germany for
the purpose of the people of Russia?
Although the government of the
United States is, unhappily, not now
In position to render the direct and
effective aid it would wish to render, |
beg to assure the people of Russia
through the congress that it will avail
itself of every opportunity to secure
for Russia once more complete SOW
ereignty and independence in her own
affairs and full restoration to her great
role in the life of Europe and the mod.
ern world.
THE whole heart of the people OF
the United States is with the people OF
Russia in the attempt to free them
selves forever from autocratic govern
ment and become the masters of their
own life.

YANKEE SHOOTS DOWN TWO
Sergt. Wellman in French Air Service
Wrecks Both Germans Within
25 Minutes.

With the American Army in France.
March 13.-An American sergeant
named Wellmann of Cambridge, Mass,
serving as an airplane pilot, shot down
two German machines during the
aerial activities Saturday afternoon.
The feat was simultaneous with the
American artillery preparation imme-
diately preceding the American raid
into the German lines on the Lorraine
front. Wellmann is attached to the
French escadrille carrying out an avi-
alton program on the American sector.
Saturday afternoon French airplanes
of all types co-operated with the
American and French batteries, paw
ing the way with shell fire for the in
fantry to go ''over the top"
German machines were out in force
to aid the German counter-battery
work.
Wellmann scored his first victim at
about 4:20 o'clock, shooting down a
two-seater observing airplane which
was regulating the fire of some Krupp
guns. He shot the German machine
gunner and damaged the airplane so
that it fell, $1,000 feet.
His next victim ''got his" % minutes
later, when Wellmann dived upon a
German single-seater attempting to at
tack French observation machine.
He sent the enemy plane down in
flames. 1t landed between the first
and second lines of the enemy trench
es, over which American infantrymen
passed an hour later.

U. S. TROOPS RAID TRENCH
Americans Go Over the Top in TouI
Sector and Find Enemy
Has Fled.

With the American Army in France,
March 1S.-Troops holding the Amer
lean sector north of Toul made a sue
cessful raid against the Boches early
Monday morning. This was the first
exclusively American raid without
French participation. The American
raiders went over the top after As min.
uteS' artillery preparation. They pen
etrated the German trenches and re-
turned successfully. There were no
prisoners, as the trenches and dugouts
had been demolished and the Boches
had withdrawn to their rear lines. The
artillery bombardment started at 5 80
"a. M. The heavy guns conferred their
fire on the German guns and rear or.
CARNATIONS, while the lighter pieces
swept the trenches, smashing dugouts
and other defenses. Under cover of a
'barrage the German wire was blown
up by American engineers. The in
fantry then went over the top. The
artillery preparation was entirely sue
cessful. The infantry made the trip
across No Mans Land and returned
practically free from enemy shell fire.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobacco;
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga
rettes and these are being bought If
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances. that is the first
thing asked for. ADV.

AMERICA STANDS BY RUSSIA
Wilson Tells Soviet Congress We
Shall Use Every Opportunity
to Gust Germans.

Washington, March 13.-America's
attitude toward Russia is the same as
that toward any other of the allied
countries wherein the enemy has OBJ
tanned military advantage.
We will no more abandon Russia
than we will Serbia, Roumania or, for
that matter. Belgium or northern
France.
Such treaties as are forced upon
the eastern countries of Europe are
recognized as having been made un-
der duress, and when the day of reck-
oning comes, those treaties will be
wiped out, and the map of the world
will be adjusted without reference to
conquests.
The soviet assembly meets in Mos
COW today to take up the question of
the peace agreement made by Lenine.
President Wilson has sent to the
congress of soviets. through the United
States consul General at Moscow, a
message promising Americas help in
freeing their country from the German
grasp.
After assuring the congress of the
sympathy of the people of the United
States, he admits that America is not
at present lin position to render the
direct and effective aid it would wish
to render"
However, the president declares the
United States government is to be de-
pended upon to act at every opportun-
ity "to secure for Russia once more
complete sovereignty and independ-
ence"

turbed by the noise of the firemen's
sirens or the barrage of the antiair-
craft guns, but the hotel management,
fearing for the safety of the secretary
and his party, persuaded them to de-
scend to place of shelter in the wine
cellar.

tinued their conference in the cellar.

only a floating spar.
Before the cruiser entered port Sun
day morning an alarm was wirelessed
from the port that a submarine was
lurking near by. The French sent out
considerable convoy of hydroplanes
and dirigibles. Baker was visibly i'm
pressed by the thoroughness of these
precautions.

by Senator Reed.

Washington, March 13.-Another
"huge millionaire" bill went over the
top in the senate. 1t totaled S760,O0O,-
900 and was for urgent deficiencies in
government work.
Senator Reed of Missouri concen-
trated a hot fire upon an appropria-
ton of $1,750,00O for the food admin
iStration. He said:
"The food administration has had no
less than $S,000000 since last August.
1t has $1,250000 still unexpended. 1t
will receive $1,121, al from accounts.
It's going some to ask for $1,750,000"
Immediately he followed this with
the assertion that the wheat corpor-
alton of the food administration would
collect $12,000,000 from American
farmers.
Senator Reed spoke for almost three
hours. After Underwood of Alabama
replied and defended the action of the
appropriations committee in giving
the sum the senate passed the bill
with no dissenting voice.
