DOUIIM NOTE[
l-

Don't feed the chickens in a dirty.
filthy place.
1t pays to watch the flock closely in
the fall. winter and early spring.
Clean the floors of the hen houses
every few days; don't allow the trash
to accumulate.
Perhaps some hens and pullets
would be much better layers IL they
could select their owner
Leghorns at 81 months, and the
larger breeds of Rocks and Reds at
6h months, will begin egg production.
II is much more economical and re-
sultful to feed a variety of feeds to
poultry, than 1t is to depend on one
or two grains.
Chemists find that eggs simply are
water, protein and ash and that more
than one-haif the egg Is water, so 1t
In apparent that sufficient water Is
a necessary consideration.

Haro-Surfaced Roads Facilitate Move
ment Of Motortrueks Handling Traf-
fc Railroads Cannot Accommodate.

ted States. Such is the statement of
the United States department of Ia
Dor.
1.-THE growing needs of the country
demand thst some such comprehen-
sive highway system be constructed"
says Robert f. Black, Chicago mana
ger of n large motortruck concern.
SIN the past there has been toe great
q lack of foresight on the part of the
road builders. They have lacked vi
sion to foresee the requirements of
even FIVE years ahead. A road built
today must be built, not with the idea
Of present traffic but hat of ten years
in the future.
1.-The growing need of the day is for
transportation. We have simply got to
sentiment Of the country will not toll
crate any handicap of u transporta.
ton system.
with each year the railroads are
becoming more and more inadequate.
Motor transportation Is a growing eco
nomical necessity, a fact that is being
recognized more and more each day as
motortrucks are called upon to handle
traffic that the railroads cannot accom-
modate.
Estimates prepared by engineering
authorities show that the United
States could afford to spend $780,
900, 900 on a hard-surfaced road system
of $4,000 miles which would serve d.
rectly and Indirectly 81 per cent Of
the population of the entire country.
Not only would such a system be an
economic asset that would pay for
itself many times over, but its o n
struction would provide work for
many thousands of people for a num-
Der of years, and in that respect alone
would have great business value to
the country In general.
"War increases business to replace
the great losses of destruction; but
the development of a nation in times
of peace provides a more normal and
healthy market for labor and mate
rial that can be made a stabilizer Of
business and Industrial conditions.
"a well planned national highway
system is a necessity, and as soon as
the nation can complete the plan con.
ditions will force putting it into opera
tion."

BOUT IN NEWARK
Title Battle, Prevented by New

Staged Jan. 24
CUT TO EIGHT ROUNDS

New York, Jan. 1.-THE boxing
match between Benny Leonard, light
weight champion. and Johnny Dun
dee, his Italian challenger, which was
prohibited by the police officials of New
Haven, Conn, will be held January
~ at the Newark Sportsmen' Club,
the First Regiment armory, Newark,
n. ].
This was learned yesterday, when
it was disclosed that final details for
the transfer of the match have been
virtually completed. The change is
acceptable to both boxers, and it is
likely that official announcement, of the
new date will be forthcoming within O
few days N.
The match was originally schedu led
for twenty rounds to a decision with
the championship title at stake. 1t was
planned to hold it January III at New
Haven, but an unexpected revocation
of the license for the bout caused an
abandonment of the contest.
Bids from various promoters through =
out the country followed on the ad-
verse New Haven ruling, and it was
thought for time the match would be
beld in New Orleans. where the cham
pionship distance OF twenty rounds is
permitted under the law. From a
thoroughly reliable source, however, it
was learned that the New Orleans pro
posal is not being seriously considered
and that the match is virtually arranged
for Newark.

Francis Warner, Cricket Club.
This selection will be hailed with joy
by the delegates.
1t was feared that changes would be
made and the old order of procedure
in the golf association disrupted. Mr..
Lesley has been president of the asso-
citation for many years of faithful serv-
ice and has continuously done his best
to promote the interests of golf in this
section.
On Mr.. Warner, as secretary, has
been the burden of the tournaments and
the details of the running machinery
of the association. That his duties have
been well done in the past and ap-

more by the nominating committee for
the arduous tasks of secretary.
The Committees
The nominating committee is as fol-

The executive committee which the
delegates will elect consists of Harrison
