Egg Laying Contest

Apparently the peak of production has been reached in the egg laying contest conducted b. the Agric ultlr- al College at Storrs. On the aver age the maximum weekly yield comes in the twenty-eighth week. During the last six years it has been as early as the twenty-siXth week in 1919 and as late as the thirty-second week in 1916. During the present competi- tion the management is reasonably certain that the zenith was reached in the tWenty-second week when the heRs laid more than 4900 eggs and from that time on, to the end of the contest year, the real problem is not to prevent a falling off in egg 5ICd d~cuon but to see that the de- cline is not more marked than it 2 GhI to be. During the week now being reported the total yield for all pens was 1854 eggs or a yield of little more than 62 per cent.

 Four Years

Mrs. Henry Setzer, for the past twenty-four years a summer resi- dent at Twin Lakes, died at her home port on Sunday. News of her death was received with sorrow in this town, for Mrs. Setzer had made many friends and acquaintances here who were always glad to see her return for another season.

 Mrs. Setzer was greatly interested in the Children's Ward of the Bridge port hospital and many children have this whole-souled, generous woman to thank for health and happiness which they now enjoy. Of a most pleasing personality, Mrs. Setzer not only made many friends but kept them. Her many acts of kindness will be long remembered by those who knew and loved her in this town.
 The nearest surviving relatives are several cousins who reside in Hartford and Bridgeport. The fu- neral was held from her late home on Wednesday afternoon at t&o o'clock.

THURSDAY BEGINS POPPY WEEK IN STATE To Be Worn in Memory of Our Soldier Dead in
 France

Thursday of this week will mark the beginning of Poppy Week" in Connecticut and will continue Fri day, Saturday, Sunday and Memorial Day, conducted under the auspices of The American Legion.
 The 1920 National Convention of the Legion endorsed the purpose of the Franco-American Children's League, and designated the Red Poppy of Flanders as the official me- morial flower, to be worn in memory of the men sleeping in France in Flanders Fields.
 The poppies are made by the wid- ows and orphans of France and dis tributed in the United States through The American Legion posts and their auxiliaries, all money received by the legion through their sale to be used in brightening the lot of the French orphans and widows by whom these peoples were made. Thus, the poppy has two-fold significance to honor and respect the dead, and to help reconstruct the lives of the little child martyrs of the great war.
 The American Legion in Connec- icut has volunteered to distribute these poppies with the help of the Women's Auxiliary. On Memorial Day and on the previous three days, poppies will be on sale in the bus- ness districts throughout the state, where hundreds of young women will carry baskets of the bright scarlet Rowers. Merchants can obtain them in quantities for decoration from the local Legion post.
 Mrs. Fanny l. Crosby of Bridge port, State President of the Women's Auxiliary of The American Legion makes the following announcement in reference to the distribution of these poppies throughout the state:
 "As the time approaches for Me morial Day we are reminded once more of the great ideal for which our forebears fought---that liberty might not perish from the earth. We as n nation were divided as to the means of attainment of that ideal, yet we recognize that both sides were fighting for a principle.
 "Today we have another reason for commemorating our Memorial Day---not only to decorate the graves of our heroes of former days, but also to wear a flower in token of loving memory for the young men who gave up their lives so gladly for our ideal Side by side under the crosses of Flanders lie the bodies of our brave boys in a kinship of blood with their fellow patriots of France, and their souls go marching on, We who are left to carry their message into the future feel that it is a privi- lege that on the 30th day of May we shall manifest spiritual kinship in bearing the torch which they with dying hands threw to us in a symbol of a poppy.
 Every man, woman and child who claims the right to call himself an American feels that in this symbol he is glorifying himself in telling the world that he realizes this potent message to the future.
 "In memory of this great brother hood the American Legion has adopted the poppy of Flanders as its insignia and the American and French Children's League, under its auspices, is offering these poppies and appealing to every patriot to wear one on Memorial Day in com memoration of our dead heroes and to show loyalty to the flag and alle- glance to the cause which has made us a nation"

SOVIET HAS TROUBLE
TO GET WORKERS TO
PUT IN FULL Time
(By Associated Press)

RIGA, Latvia, Aug. 17-Many OK
periments are being introduced in the
management and supply system OF
Russian factories in an effort by the
Bolshevik government to increase pro-
duction in order to obtain products
to exchange with the peasants for food.
Some time ago piece work scale
was introduced in the hope that this
would incite individual workmen to in
creased efforts. According to a Mos
COW dispatch, all factory arrangements
have been ordered to carry it into
effect urgently and Immediately.
New Rationing System
In many industrial concerns a col
lective rationing plan has been substi
tuted for the old system of granting
individual rations. Under the new
method whole factory is granted a
monthly allowance of foodstuffs and
money on the condition that it turns
out stipulated amount of goods.
If the factory is able to produce this
quantity with a smaller number o.
workmen than estimated, the surplus
of foodstuffs and money can be dis
tributed among the workmen as {
| premium.
The All-Russian Council of Trad.
| Unions has issued a circular pointing
| out that increases of wages in none,
payments are inadvisable at this tim,
because this would necessitate an in
crease in the output of currency which
