400 HENS ALREADY
INECG LAYING DERBY
By Associated Press)


Murphysboro, H., Arpil =
Four hundred hens have been en-
tered to date in a three-year ma
tional egg laying contest starting
here November /. = The race is
regarded in Illinois as the first of
its kind ever held.
The contest was planned and
will be conducted by Paul Arndt,
high school instructor of voca-
tional education here, and his
class of forty boys.
Wide interest has been aroused
among poultry men and eighty
breeders from widely scattered
sections have registered a pen Of
five hens each.
Training the boys have had, ac->
cording to Carl Colvin, State SUI
perintendent of Vocational Agri-
culture, will assure breeders that
their poultry will receive the best
attention. Business men of Muir
physboro and poultry raisers Of
the vicinity have underwritten
the race for $1,000.
The boys will market the eggs,
providing chicken feed in return
without cost. A market has al
ready been arranged for St. Louis
The privilege OF selling the eggs,
it is believed, will offset the entire
cost Of the contest.
Trap nests will be used to avoid
any possibility that the hen that
does the cackling gets undue Gre
dit for laying the eggs. Poultry
houses Of the latest type are be-
ing erected by the high school
boys on the school grounds.
Breeders who send their hens
to Murphysboro for the first year
of the contest will be privileged
to enter relay of fresh birds the
second year.

Flirting With Death
{ Stanford Journal)


No, this isn't going to be an ed
itorial on the triangle problems;
there are other ways of flirting
with death that are even more
dangerous and one Of these is
fooling with so-called moonshine
whisky. One Of our exchanges
points to the fact that even the
revenue stamps purporting to
show that whisky is bottled in
bond now are counterfeited by
whisky crooks and that ten per-
sons died within a few DAYS in
Pittsburg from drinking illicit
whisky. In most of these cases
Of fatalities either had been used
as one Of the component parts of
the beverage to give It kick.
He who monkeys with whisky
sold Illegally firts with death in
deed. He who takes a drink of
moonshne whisky may be taking
the death draugft. The vicious
drinks being sold by bootlegger
as bottled in bond" goods or
something just as safe often
prove to be cheap and dangerous
moonshine, colored to deceive the
thirsty but careful drinker.
The Interior Journal does not
believe it has many readers who
want to drink whisky illicitly, but
if it has any it hereby gives them
solemn warning that the only |
whisky that is safe nowadays is |
the whisky that can be purchased
legally. All one needs in orde,
to get whisky legally is to develop |
a sore toe, a cough, a sprained
ankle, or fall off a wagon in Il
barn. and any one of about 500
kentucky physicians will J give
him a prescription for at least
pint Of whisky as a remedy. That
is legal, the prohibition inspectors
to the contrary Notwithstanding,
and It is safe. ~ /

CONTROL

Washington, Dec. Thy AS
sociated Press. The Far East
ern committee of the Washington
conference resuming its sessions
today after three day recess,
adopted resolution providing for
the neutrality of China in case Of
a war in which China is not
party.
This resolution, it was said,
covered point number 8 Of
China's bill Of rights" The
committee also adopted the Root
resolution draft in such commit
tee regarding wireless installa-
tions Of foreigners on Chinese
soil.
The questions Of Japanese
troops In Manchuria came up for
discussion and 1t was understood
Japanese members made a state
ment to the committee on the
subject.
The resolution with respect to
territorial integrity adopted to-
day provides that the powers
shall observe in the future the
territorial integrity OF China and
also declares that foreign wireless
stations in China shall be used
only for official messages and
not for commercial purposes.
The questions at issue between
the United States and Japan re-
lating to cable facilities and other
matters affecting the island OF
Yap are to be dealt with In
separate treaty, which was said
to be near completion.
The proposed four-power agree
rnent to deal with the Pacific

been given approval in principle
by British representatives at the
Washington conference. The sub

Gardner Takes
Stand Today In
His Own Behalf

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. Z. - Roy
Gardner, twice convicted Of at
tempts to rob the United States
mails and now on trial here for
third alleged mail robbery was
on the witness stand during the
entire morning in the United
States district court today.
Gardner's continued refusal to
tell where he had disposed of the
mail sacks stolen from a mail car
at Maricopa, Ariz., on November
8 brought statement from
Judge william H. Sawtelle, pre-
siding at the trial that if Gard
ner were not already under such
a long sentence, he would punish
him for contempt of court. The
Judge told the jury that such ac-
tion would be useless so far as
Gardner was concerned because
he was already under sentences
totalling so years.
During direct examination
Gardner admitted having commit
ted the theft at Maricopa. A large
mart of his testimony seemed in
tended to substantiate the def
fense's plea OF insanity.

Draft Evader Gives
Himself Up; Says He
Attempted To Enlist

Three years after the close Of
the war, during which he tried to
enlist twice, Clarence Elson Sharp
of Moody, Or, entered the office
of Adjutant General White this
morning and gave himself up as a
draft evader.
Had it not been for the publica-
tion of the list Of slackers by the
newspapers, Sharp stated, he
would never have known that he
was included. He stated that he
was thankful for the publication
of his name, because by no other
means would he have found that
the government was holding suct
record against him.
Sharp had in his possession this
morning notes and affidavits
from citizens of Moody, stating
that they knew that he had sold
his personal property including
his watch and pony and had made
every attempt to enlist both in the
army and navy but had been turn
ed down because of his size.
He was induced by the local
draft board Of Moody, October 23,
but the board told him to wait
until after the flu epidemic before
reporting. The armistice was
signed a few days later, and the
matter was dropped as far as Sharp
was concerned until few days
ago when the sheriff at Redmond,
Or, stepped up to him and arrest
ed him as draft evader. but per-
mitted him his liberty to come
here and stralghten the matter
out with Colonel White.
The adjutant general took the
matter up with the federal au-
thorities who agreed to allow
Sharp his liberty until the case
can be adjusted, and it is thought
that due to his attempt to enlist
and the circumstances surround
ing his induction the matter will
be taken care Of satisfactorily.
