Christmas Seal Sale.

The tuberculosis Christmas
Seal Campaign will be begun in
Lexington on Monday, December
ID, and will be continued the rest
Of that week. The sale will be
conducted by the school chit
dren. Lexington will be expect
ed to raise approximately S475.
"A review of the previous
Christmas Seal drives shows a
steady increase in the amount
of interest taken in Lexington
in the work Of the Missouri Tu-
berculosis Association. In 1918
the sale amounted to S17.00; in
1914, $20.42; 1915, $53.7O; 1916
S90.32; 1917, $143.75; 1918, no
sale; 1919, $262.35. This year
every effort to raise the quota
will be made.
The money derived from the
sale of the seals is used to es-
tablish and support tuberculosis
hopitals and, what is of vastly
greater Importance, to carry out
preventative measures against
the dreaded disease. Three spe-
cific services have been render
ed Lexington the past year by
the Missouri tuberculosis AS
sociation: (1) instituting the
Missouri Health Crusade "a plan
of teaching health habits) in the
public schools and providing all
necessary printed material; (2)
securing the health survey
which was conducted last May
by the United States Public
Health Service; (3) establish,
ing the school nurse service.

How Many Eggs Per Hen.

The average novice can rea-
sonably expect to get an average
Of at least 10 dozen eggs per hen
a year from his small flock in
ths back yard, say poultry spec
ialists of the United State De
partment of Agriculture. On that
basis of two hens to each men,
Der of the family this will give
20 dozen eggs a year to each
person, which amount is about
halfway between the general av-
erage of farm and city consump-
ton. No backyard poultry keep
er should be satisfied with less
than this. He should try, how
ever, to get as much more as
possible.
To provide an egg a day for
each person two hens would have
to lay 1873 eggs each a year. This
is by no means an impossible
average for small flocks. 1t i:
perhaps not too much to say
that in cases where the person
attending the flock is in a po'
sition to look after the wants Of
the birds, three or more times
a day an average of better thar
13 dozen eggs per hen can bt
secured if the hens are mature
and in good condition at the
start, and have the vitality t
carry them through a year o.
heavy laying.
For the farm the average o.
100 eggs per hen is advised al
the lowest that should be ac
cepted as satisfactory, while fol
the back yard 12O is insisted up
on as the lowest average, altht
in general the conditions in bacl
yards are less favorable to poul
try keeping than on farms.

EsthOnians Gain
 Through New Treaty

Dorphat, Thursday, Jan. 1.- Study of the agreement signed by Esthonian and bolshevik repre- sentatives last night preliminary to an armistice, indicate the Es- thonians have scored a notable success in the most important points under negotiations. The biggest surprise of the guarantees was that the Esthonians would not be required to eject soldiers who fought under General Yudenitch in his recent campaign against Petrograd until after the peace treaty between Esthonia and So- viet Russia is ratified.
 The military guarantees pro- hibit the presence in either Soviet Russia or Esthonia of any arm- ies other than their own or of friendly powers with which one of the contracting parties has con- cluded a military convention, but which is not actually warning against the other. Recruiting and organizing armies of other states and organizations hostile to eith- CT side is prohibited.
