Due to controversy over the intent

such claims the War Department is
now prepared to adjust. To secure
such a settlement, the soldier must

BIGGEST NEST
OF HEN EGGS
INFREMONT co.


In The Record window today is TO
be seen the biggest hens nest in Fre-
mont county. 1t contains 412 eggs
laid one day. No, Dozier's famous
Black Biddie didn't do it.
The eggs were the result Of one
days effort in flock of 525 hens on
the ranch of Elmer E. Lambutb. pro-
prietor of the East Canon store. This,
however, is not an extraordinary
showing for these hens. but IL more or
less is an average of their contribu-
ton to the food stores of the county
each day.
The Lambuths have made notable
success with their flock OF White Leg
horns, and have proven conc1usive'y
that when handled properly there is
money in the chicken business. The
flock which totals over 1000 at pres
ent, counting chicks, broilers and
hens, is handled as a sideiine to the
meat and grocery business which the
Lambuths conduct, and averages well
above 500 month in net profit year
after year.
One flock of $50 hens day after day
aged so per cent in eggs. In
winter the flock averages IS to so per
cent in eggs. The White Leghorns
are known as the 200-egg strain. which
means that 200 eggs a year is their
average quota.
This fall Mr. Lambuth is going to
install the lighting system in his
chicken houses so as to give the hens
longer day and more hours to en-
able them to keep up their body main
tenance. This system is plan where
by artificial light takes the place OF
sunlight during the dark hours of win
ter from o'clock in the morning until
sun up. and from in the evening un-
til the normal summer bedtime.
It has been proved in several places
in the East that by prolonging the
i light hours through the use of cleo
tricity the egg production in the win
ter is remarkably advanced.
The theory is that by prolonging the
activities of the hens they consume
not only enough food for body masnte-
nance. but enough additional to PRO
vide the egg substance. white under
ordinary winter conditions the a1or.

DR.. D. E. SAWYER
GETS PROMOTION

DIR. D. E. Sawyer, Cobb County
Demonstration Agent, whose office
was abolished by the Board of County
Commissioners at their meeting on
Tuesday, has already accepted work
elsewhere at a larger salary than
that asked of Cobb county.
The doctor was at Athens at the
state meeting there, when he received
the news that his office had been abol-
ished, and as soon as it became known
he was solicited to take the work in
a number of counties, and has ac-
cepted the work of Fulton County.
We understand the pay is much
larger than that which he had been
receiving here, and we are sure that
he might have done better at any
time, and that it was only because
of his association with the young peo-
pie of Cobb County that he would
have been willing to return.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
DIED IN HIS SLEEP ON
MONDAY AT HIS HOME
Due to Rheumatism Which
Affected His Heart
Funeral Was Held Wednesday from
Christ Episcopal Church at Oyster
Bay. kilograms of Sympathy Com
ing from All Parts of World.

Col Theodore Roosevelt, eX-presi-
dent of the United States and one of
the central figures in affairs of the
country for many years, died suddenly
at his home in Oyster Bay at an
early hour Monday morning.
He had gained his first distinction
as police commissioner of New York
City, then when he went to Cuba with
the Rough Riders, he further added
to his fame.
He was elected vice-president on
the ticket with VIM. Mckinley, and
became president when Mr.. Mckinley
was assasinated. He was reelected
for another term, and has since held
the spotlight in Republican politics,
dominating that party absolutely. He
had many enemies within his own
party, and many friends among the
Democrats, and was the most siren
uous character in American public
life for many years.
The colonel suffered a severe at
tack of rheumatism and sciatica on
New Years day, but none believed
his illness would likely prove fatal.
He sat up most of Sunday and retired
at IL o'clock Sunday night. About
a a. m. on Monday Mrs. Roosevelt,
who was the only other member of
the family at Oyster Bay, went to her
husbands room and found that he
had died during the night.
Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to Col.
Emlin Roosevelt, cousin of the former
president, and he came to the ROose-
welt home Immediately. kilograms

home on Sycamore Hill from the

But a week later was stricken with a
severe attack of rheumatism and
sciatica, from which he had been suf-
fering for. some time. The rheuma-
tism affected his right hand and it
became much swollen. He remained
in his room and efforts were made to
check the trouble.

still safely in control and is gradually
subduing the revolt.
Twenty persons were killed in the
American embassy in Berlin when the
building was damaged during the
fighting in adjacent streets on Tues
day.
Rumors are afoat in Berlin that

REAL PEACE WORK
TO BEGIN AT ONCE

Press dispatches from Paris state
that informal conferences with en-
tente statemen which will lay the
real groundwork for the peace con-
gress were to begin yesterday. These
conferences probably will be Presi-
dent Wilson'S only official activity
prior to the beginning of the peace
congress, as it is necessary for him to
get some rest after fatiguing round
of speeches and travelling.
AS the conference approaches the
stage where important formal agree
ments which will have an important
bearing on final settlements will be
reached, there seems to be excellent
authority for saying that plans for
the settlement of the most important
questions-the league of nations, the
freedom of the seas and disarmament
are still very indefinite.
1t is true several propositions are
being put forward for the adjustment
of those matters, but there is none
having the color of official sanction.
If Mr.. Wilson has drawn up any spe-
cifc plans, he has not divulged them
to anybody, and it is known he is
closely studying various suggestions
advanced by others. This is not nee
essarily to be construed as meaning
that the president is without definite
ideas, but rather that he has been
giving thought to the governing prin-
ciples and keeping an open mind so as
to benefit from ideas coming from
oil courcac
