The people of. Norwich may indeed feel proud of their home town as in the Third Liberty loan when Uncle Sam called for S1,251, 400 from The Rose of New England, the citizens re- sponded with will and not only came through with the required quota but subscribed S1,573,550. Perhaps the thing that stands out most prominent 1y is the number of subscriptions which is 16,350( over twice as many as secured in the previous loan. This shows that the people of Norwich are behind the government heart and soul. The percentage according to popula- tion is over $ Is which is an excel lent record.
 The $1,57S,55e was secured in the city of Norwich and was handled by the local banks and the subscriptions made through out of town banks and credited to Norwich by the Federal Reserve bank of Boston is not in- cluded in this total Norwich banks in this last loan have handled 11,S1G subscriptions for total of S1,S80,00C which includes outside subscriptions.

sToRRs HENS BEAT
 ALL WEEKLY RECORDS.
Produced 4,53s Eggs in 18th Week of
 the Contest.

In the 26th week of the contest at Storrs the 1000 birds laid a total of 453S eggs, which was 28 eggs more than the best week of production in last years contest, and represents a yield for the week of GAS per cent The first honors for the week went to a pen of Leghorns belonging to George Phillips of Seymour, Conn. This per laid 50 eggs, thus establishing new high weekly record for the present contest. Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass, were a close second with 59 eggs. A pen of Oregons from the Agricultural college, Corvallis, Ore, made an equal ly close third with 5S eggs. Obed G. Knights White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, R. l.. were fourth with 57 eggs, while pen of Barred Rocks from Corvallis, Ore, tied for fifth place with pen of White Leghorns from Lakewood, N. ., each with yield of 56 eggs.
 The total production for all pens to date is 69,2S5 or aboue 3,700 eggs less than the corresponding figure last year. In previous years the birds have pro- duced about 42 per cent. of their totar yield during the first six months of the contest; on this basis the 1000 birds now at Storrs may be expected to lay about 164 eggs each for the contes; i year.
 At the end of the 18th week last | year the leading individual had laid ! ttoal of 14S eggs: her record for the | year was PIT. A White Wyandotte in ]. the present contest belonging to Obed i G. Knight has laid in the correspond 1 ing period 156 eggs. If she has laid the same proportion of her yearly tota 1 that the best her last year had pro- duced in 26 weeks she is due to make a record of approximately 359 eggs b3 the close of the contest. Needless say, the management does not enter. tain any very strong hope of hel reaching this figure.
