INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST.

The intense cold wave that gripped New England for more than week, has effected adversely the egg yield in the Storrs laying contest. Anti-cy- clones are not good for hens. rnas- much as the hen houses are not heat ed, the birds are not concerned about the shortage of coal. On the other hand, the below zero temperatures have caused considerable suffering in the way of frozen combs and frozen wattles and in consequence, the pull lets are not up to normal production. IH the tenth week there was a total : yield of 1294 eggs or 600 less than for the preceding week and 230 less than for the four year average for this per iod.
 In general, lighter breeds are, of course, more susceptible to sudden temperature changes than the others and yet the unexpected sometimes happens even with hens A pen of Leghorns entered by A. P. Robinson, Calverton, N. Y, did better work in tenth week than any other pen in the contest and got first place with yield of Al eggs. Richard Aliens Rhode Is- land Reds from Pittsfield, Mass, were second on the honor roll W1Ln y1elQ of S5 eggs. A pen of White Wyan- dottes entered by W. F. Harris, Nell rose, N. Y, were close third with 34 eggs to their credit. Thomas J. 1 Adamson's Barred Rocks from Laurel Quebec, were in fourth place with g.. production of S4 eggs.
 During the past few months, the high price of poultry feeds has re- suited in the depletion of great many commercial f1ocks. In consequence of this heavy selling movement, the price of poultry and it's products have been relatively low, but it is not expected that this will always be the case. When the shortage comes, a great many people can of course resort to a small flock of their own. The laying con- tt St has for years demonstrated the possibilities along this line. It is very rare indeed that any ten hens in the contest lay less than a thousand eggs in a year. The average is much high CT and there are always a few pens that iay two thousand eggs; even one thousand eggs year is quite an ad- dition to the food supply of the aver- age family.

RUSSIA, VICTIM OF IGNORANCE.
ny FRANKLIN KNIGHT LANE,
Secretary Of the Interior.

The greatest disappointment OF the
war has been the downfall OF Russia.
Ard yet downfall Is not the precise

There Will be- another Russia some tay:
wiser; more Intelligent. a better
Russia.
y The truth as we now see 1t is that
RUSSIA was not nation. She had been
enemy or her western border and by
The domination of a ruling class. She
haa a love OF freedom. but she had no
ner revolution, from the orderly
overthrow OF the Car to the anarchy
of Lenine. was IL simple and u natural
process. because what she wanted was
not the kind OF independence, liberty
ana freedom which we know and which
1t was not political power that her
people sought, and through which they
might express themselves. Within six
months after their revolution came
they had degenerated into a mob which
believed that liberty meant nothing
less than the extreme OF individuaiism
excepting desire to make some ma
tcrial ga at the expense OF those who
had land and lived In luxury.
Russia was like a child that reached
out or the window after the butterfly,
and reached so far that 1t fell TO the
ground and was crushed She aban-
doned orderly processes within her
own country and abandoned her allies
on the outside.
Eecause she was young she did not
realize that II takes time ana n common
purpose TO make a nation, and she
threw her present chance of nationality
away. She resigned herself to the con-
troll OF group who believed that there
was but one thing in the world worth
struggling for. and that was the cstab-
!ishment OF new economic order. and
this group undertook TO compel that
order by methods az ruthless as those
that have iillcd Siberian prisons.
Russia broke when her constitutional
convention was dissolved by force
Russia was broken because her people
did not know that political strength liz
a condition precedent to economic or
social reform.
Russia was sick of war. and II Is no
wonder. She had called out 10000 900
men. All OF them did not go to the
front. ANY OF them could not he

The recommendation OF Secretary McAdoo
that the tax on individual incomes should lie
raised from 10 10 u per cent, and that on
unearned incomes there should he an added
dlherentiai OF ) per cent, is wisely designed
10 encourage investment OF the profits from
incomes OF that character in future Liberty
bond issues. Without this difcrential it is
conceiyeable that the profits from this source
would seek investment in other securities
whereas such investments would not prove as
attractive as Liberty bonds. which are exempt
from taxation, under the proposed di!feren-
tial rate increase. Since so considerable a
portion OF the money needed to finance the
war must necessarily be raised by the sale of
Liberty bonds, ii is Of vital Importance that
these offerings oc strengthened by tax de-
