Recent announcement that the

quick change in the plans Of the
Duesenberg brothers. The original
plan had been for Murphy and Pullen

for the June IS race. and Murphy
and Pullen will sail for France on

The Duesenberg brothers will take
no chances on any other pilots than
their own. They are determined to

is the holding together of the entire

NO BEST BREED OF POULTRY
There Are Three Glasses Specially
Adapted to Production Of Eggs
and Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There Is no best breed of poultry.
That, at least, Is the opinion Of men
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture who have been studying
the business for years, and have had
experience with all varieties Of all
breeds in America. TO, so among
your friends and ask for advice about
the kind of chickens to start with
would be about as productive of con-
tiicting views as If you asked for help
in buying a motor car or typewriter.
Every man has his likings, and some
have good reasons for them, but In the
end the beginner will have to be the
Judge; wherefore the opinion of the
department specialists will be about
the best guide: Keep only one vari-
ETY. of breed, and select the breed
that suits your purpose best Be sure
Of one thing-have a standardized
male at the head of the flock. Such a
bird will improve the quality of the
stock materially. A mongrel male
will produce no improvement.
These are the reasons Standard
bred fowls produce uniform products
which bring higher prices.
Standardized stock and eggs sold
for breeding purposes, bring higher
prices than market quotations.
Standardized fowls can be exhibit
ell, and thus compete for prizes.
Eggs and stock from mongrel fowls
are not sold for breeding purposes.
Mongrel fowls are not exhibited in
poultry shows or eXpositions.
General-purpose breeds are best
suited to most farms where the pro-
GuctiOn of both eggs and meat is de-
sired. The four most popular repre-
sentatives of this class are the Ply
mouth Rock. Wyandotte, Orpington,
end Rhode Island Red
All these breeds, with the exception
of the OrpingtOn, are of American or
ign. They are characterized by hav-
ing yellow skin and legs, and lay
broWn-shelled eggs The Orpington is
of English origin, has white skin,

BEATS MARY'S FAMOUS LAMB
WooIly Lawn Mower Proved of Prac-
teal Value to Cincinnati Man
During Hot Spell.

Louis Goecke, better known as "Pat"
in amateur circles, was moving the
grass on the lawn of his home in Gin
cinnati recently. In the course Of the
work he was cutting alongside a hedge
with a pair of clippers.
"Ba-a-a," came from the other side
Of the hedge.
Goecke looked up. A neighbor was
sitting on the porch reading.
Goecke resumed his clipping.
"Ba-a-a !" sounded again.
Goecke Strengthened up and shot
fierce glances at his, neighbor. But
the latter's face was concealed back
of the newspaper.
The clipping proceeded, and then
again came "Ba-a-a!"
Finally Goecke threw down his clip
pers, stepped to the neighbours porch,
and said:
'Are you guying me-"
The other looked up with surprise.
"Guying you? Why, no! What makes
you-think so?"
'Well, stop that baa-ingp" Goecke
said.
"Oh, that's 1t. I'll show you what
that is" and the neighbor went back
among the bushes and pulled out
lamb. 81 bought it yesterday" he ex-
planned.
Immediately Goecke was seized with
an idea. Lend it to me, will your" he
asked. The neighbor was obliging.
The lamb finished the grass cutting
job, and Goecke enjoyed the cool and
quiet Of a shady nook on his porch.
