The law was passed four years

gregating 104.006 acres have already
been launched is evidence Of the
magnitude of the drainage move
ment.

gress will be held in Atlanta No
vember 10, II, and IL. A Georgia
man, Judge Newt. A. Morris, of Ma
rietta, Is first vice president of the

HARDING WORKS
ON SPEECHES TO
BE MADE SOON

MARION, Ohio, Oct. 25.-Taking
advantage of the lull in the speaking
campaign, Senator Harding is work
Ing today on addresses to be deliver
ed next week in several Ohio cities.
For the time being there will be lit
tie fireworks about the Marion from
porch. A few visitors are expected
each day, but no large delegations.
and the nominee will hold few con-
terences of Importance for some time
Harding headquarters here has TAX
en- on an atmosphere of quiet CON
fidence and apparently has no feel
ing of doubt as to the campaign now
drawing to a close.
One reason for this optimistic
view of the situation is the appar--
ent harmony among party Leaders
which Harding headquarters be-
lieves has now been achieved by the
nominee as to the League of Ma
tions. The latest development
which brought cheer in Marion was
the statement by Senator Hiram
Johnson that he favors "a world TO-
rum"
The view at headquarters here is
that all Republican leaders now, ex-
cept possibly Senator Borah, have
come around to the Harding untrue
statement to the effect that Cox and
President Wilson held identical views
on ratification of the treaty without
qualification.

Believes Attempt
Is Being Engineered
To Trick Democrats

J. Howell Green, prominent Attain
ia lawyer and citizen of Dekalo
county, on Saturday called Inc
Journals attention to what ne pc
lieved to be an attempt to trick the
Democratic voters of the Fifth con-
gressiona1 district in the general
election to be held November 2.
"There has been put in circula-
ton" said Mr.. Green, "a ballot pur-
porting to be the official Demo-
cratic ballot. But instead Of being
headed Official Democratic Ballot
it is headed Form of Democratic
Ballot
at contains the names Of the DEM

regular Democratic nominees for the
senate, for governor and other state
house offices, but when it comes
down to the Democratic nominee for

gives the name of wv. P. Upshaw.'
These are not the initials Of Con-
gresham Upshaw, Democratic nomt-
nee for reelection. His initials are

RACE IS CLOSE IN EGG HAVING CONTEST AT sroRRs

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs are running about as good a race as de- fender Resolute and Shamrock ". For months a Massa chusetts pen of Rhode Island Reds looked like easy winners, but along in May Long Island pen of Barred Rocks got the lead and maintained it for six weeks; only to lose it again to the Bay State pen of Reds. Then the Long Island birds came back and have been leading for four weeks, but only by the small margin of nine eggs Meanwhile the best pen of Leghorns 10 weeks ago was 12S eggs behind the pen at the top. During this time the Leghorns have steadily cut down the lead a little over four eggs week If this is continued to the end, it looks as if both the heavy breeds would be relegated to second place.
 In the; 3Stl week |. A Ballard's White .Leghorns from Chestnut Hil, Pa, and a p.n of White Wyandottes owned by Harry L. Enr1ons from Plymouth, Conn, tied for first place with 56 eggs each. Oneck Farms Barred Rocks from Northampton Beach L. l., tied with Hollywood Farms Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash, for sec ond place Each pen laid 54 eggs. w IT. Bassett's pen of Russian Orloffs from Chester, Conn. tied for third place with Imperial Poultry Farms Leghorns from Elizabeth,.N. J. Each pen scored 52 eggs

for the week. The total production for all pens was, SITS eggs yield of 54 per cent. and 45 eggs better than, the five year average for. this period.
 All the pens in the contest are in nice condition and apparently fit to- continue the grind. The hens are expected to keep plugging right along and not permit themselves to be adversely affected by any excitement due to the Farmers week meetings which will. be held lat Storrs during the first week in August. The poultry days are Aug. and 4. Of course members of the poultry association and their friends from neighboring states will inspect the competing pens and debate the chances of each pen to win.e Detailed Information concerning rooms, 3acconmo- dations programs, etc, can be obtained by simply addressing a card to the man. agement of the conetst at Storrs, Conn.
