PVT. RAYMOND CHAMBERLAIN

Barre, March 30.-Official news has been
received by his family that Private Ray
mond Chamberln of Company A, 1O2nd
machine gun battalion. formerly a resi-
dent Of Newbury, was killed in action
at Marcheville, France. September &c, 1915
He had previously been officially reported
missing in action, but on March 5 the
official report was changed to KILLED in
action on September 26" BY some of his
comrades. he had already unoficialy
been reported killed
Raymond Chamberlin was the son of
Joseph Edgar Chamberlin, a native Of
Newbury. His ancestors, Richard and
Joseph Chamberin, who were among the
towns first settlers, were both Revolu-
tionary soldiers and so was his great
grandfather, Capt. David Haseltine, an
early settler of West Newbury. Ray
mond's uncles, Capt. Preston S. Chamber
lin of Bradford, Lieut. George C.
Chamberin, well remembered here and
Capt. Everett Chamberlin, were all Civil
War soldiers.
with such an ancestry, il was no doubt
natural that Raymond Chamberln, who
was then "a years old, should have en-
listed in this great war at the first call.
He enrolled himself on May 10, 1917, in
Troop A Of the Massachusetts militia
cavalry VI the national Guard, He was
at that time a reporter on the Boston
transcript. and was aware that this
would be one of the very first organiza-
lions to be called into active service. as
IT was. Converted into a machine gun
battalion and Joined to the 26th or
Yankee division. the organization left the
camp at birmingham, after incorporating
many members Of the First Vermont regi-
ment, on September q, 1917. and landed
In France October 8. The battalion went
into the trenches early in February, 1913
and was In continuous active service

ONE HUNDRED HENS ON EVERY
FARM

Now is the time to plan on getting
out chicks enough so that you can keep
100 hens next winter. This means
the Matching and raising of quite a
number to make up for losses. Then,
too, about one-half will be male birds;
you should also plan on throwing out
some culls, so that in the end you will
have 100 hens that are healthy and Wig
orous with egg-laying characteristics
to turn you in a profit.
One method to follow in doing the
above is to pick out now at least ten
percent of your present flock that are
good layers. separate them, and put
in male bird that came from a good
laying hen. He has the ability to trans
NIT the egg laying characteristics Of
his mother; and right here is where
the egg production of the pullets can
be increased or decreased. Like be-
gets like" in this case. as in many
others; IL the male bird came from a
200 egg per year hen, he will be apt
to reproduce the same; If he came
from an 80 egg hen or less. his influ-
ence will decrease the egg production
Of his offspring. BY starting your flock
off in the right direction at this time,
you will be surprised at the increase
in egg production next winter. Con-
tinually following this plan will mean
profit to you. and the 100 hens on every
farm will be an assured fact.
Vermont farms in general could easily
carry 100 hens with but little extra trouble
and by breeding for egg production the
profit from this factor would greatly
increase the total farm profits.
II further instruction Is wanted.
write to your county agent, or to the
Extension Service Of the University of
Vermont.
