found some very interesting things.
Mr.. Wagers is feeding and housing
hens and pullets and getting from

the month of December he gathered
1913 eggs. The pullets were Matched
early and started to laying in Sep

Mr.. wagers said, 81 believe in

Mr.. Lutes is gathering one and
one-half to two dozen eggs each day
from his flock of birds this winter.
He feeds a warm mash in the morn
ing. This mash is made up Of table
scraps and shorts. He keeps a dry
feed before the birds all the time,
consisting of oats, wheat, buckwheat,
and shorts. In addition to this the
birds have free access to growing
rye and grits-plenty of water is alb
solutely necessary.
Mr.. Lutes has two pullets that
began laying at the age Of 5 month
This is a splendid record. Mr.. Lutes
says, care and feed will make eggs,
make your choice and stay by it."
Mr.. Henry C. A. Hollingsworth Is

by building a new poultry house anC

SThe Healer"O.
About 1920 the Iroquois conquered
me Delawares, forced them to accept
the title of women" and began sell
ing their lands on the Delaware and
Eusquehanna rivers to the colony of
Pennsylvania. Finally the Lenni-Le-
nape settled on the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng
lish centered in the Ohio valley in
1854 the Delawares felt that they
were about to be driven from their
last refuge. They rose in rebellion
against both the Pennsylvanians and
the Iroquois and attacked.
A council was called at Easton, Pa,
In July, 1856. Tedyuskung issued a
Declaration of Independence. "The
Delawares are no longer slaves Of the
Six Nations" he said. 81, Tedyuskung,
have been appointed king over the
Five Nations. What l do here will be
approved by ALL This Is good day.
1 wish that the same spirit that pos
sessed that good old man, William
Penn, the friend of the Indians, may
inspire you white men today"
For so years the Delaware chief
had borne the commonplace name of
"Honest john" but now he was hailed
as "King Tedyuskung." and was sent
to give the "big peace halloo" to his
tribe and invite them to larger con-
ference to be held later. He started
on this important errand, arrived at
Fort Allen and then he went on q
drunken spree lasting for days.
The IrOQuois derided his "declara-
ton" and sought to discredit him.
They failed, and from that time the
power of the Iroquois over the Dela-
wares waned. He demonstrated his
ability in later councils. Although 1t
s charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, he
always appeared at council the next
able to cope with them.
He succeeded in getting the Della
wares wrongs adjusted and his infiu-
snce brought about treaty OF peace
which prevented the French and Della
ware alliance. He had saved the Ohio
ralley to the English. His death was
,carcely heroic. In the spring of 1763

possibly a little better poet than
Omar.
Ahmed Mira, shah of Persia, is only
twenty-fOur years old and this, some
say, may account for this opinion. He
knows English and Russian and talks
French fluently and accurately and
has been reported as eager to learn
western ways and institutions.
In appearance his majesty is short
and stout. He takes lively interest
in sports, plays good lawn tennis
game and, in order to encourage open
air sports in Persia, founded the I'm
perial Sports club at Teheran, placing
at it's disposal piece of crown land.
His father, MahOmed Ali, lost his
throne in consequence Of his attempts
to stamp out the constitutional sys-
TEN in Persia and regain the absolut-
ism Of his ancestors.
Ahmed, who was then in his twelfth
year, was proclaimed sovereign in 1909
and his father was sent into exile on
the famous island of Prinkipo, where
President Wilson proposed that the al
lies hold conference with the Rus
sians as a part Of the after-war peace
negotiations.
He has been credited with having
kept Persia from taking the side Of
the central powers in the World war.

TELLS OF RESULTS ACHIEVED
important Facts Determined by Use OF
This Device Will Prove Of Great
Value to Science of
Aeronautics.

WaShingtOn.-A new manOmeter OF
instrument for recording air pressure
on wing and tail surfaces of airplanes
at different points simultaneously has
been designed and developed by F. 81.
Norton, an engineer Of the Langley
Memorial laboratory at Langley field,
Virginia, it was announced by the ma
tional advisory committee for aerOnau-
tics.
The first experiments were under
taken by the laboratory for the navy
department in order to determine the
distribution Of pressure over the hori-
zontal tail surfaces of an airplane and

tudinal stability and were conducted

models in the wind tunnels
Old Method Described.
The old method consisted in using
a horizontal tail surface inside of
which rubber tubes, connected with a
series of holes on the surface, led to
a multiple liquid manometer. The
several tubes of the manometer
registered the pressure at each change
Of speed or air pressure and the results
were recorded by an automatic cam

ometer was developed, substituting the
DETECTION of metal diaphragms and
means of automatically recording their
DETECTION for the liquid manometer
and the camera respectively.
Tells Of Results Achieved.
Among the results achieved by the
investigators are:
That the low average load per
square foot on the usual type Of tail
plane doing steady fight is so small
that 1t could not in any conceivable
way cause failure.
That the records taken of the same

Fundamentally, all paint is alike. In

Finder of 81 in 1865
Now Makes Restitution

COnneautville, Pa.-Henry c.
MoulthrOp Of COnneautville has
received a most remarkable "con-
science" letter from the neigh
boring town of Albion. 1t is
from man who says he is a
veteran of the Civil war and ex-
plains that on returning from
the war in 1865 he was "broke."
In grocery and beer shop" in
COnneautville he found a pocket
book containing 81 and card
indicating that it was the prop
erty Of F. Moulthrop.
He now desires to make resti-
tuition to the son of the man who
owned the pocketbook. He adds
81 for interest, which hardly
meets the interest requirements,
but the recipient thinks he can
stand the loss.
