Mrs. John Heinen Jr. of Spring
Hill township has furnished the
Farm Bureau officer with report
on the production, returns and cost
of feed for her flock of 1875 Rose
Comb Rhode Island Red hens for the
months of January and February.
This report shows that the 1876 hens
produced during January 1856 eggs,
which sold for $29.12, and in Febru-'
airy 1892 eggs, which sold for $3.50,
making a total return for the two
months of $60.62.
Mrs. Heinen's ration costs ap-
proximately Csc day for the flock,
which would give feed cost for the
two months of 1882, leaving net
profit of $43.93, which is a very
creditable showing for flock OF 135
laying hens during the two winter
months. s....
Mrs. Heinen's ration for the flock
was made up as follows and shows
the exact amount of feed and cost for
the month of January:
Oats, 10 bushel at 29c blu. ....$4.75
Bran, 125 pounds at 1c Id. -. 1.24
Shorts, 124 pounds at 1 lie Id 1873
Oyster shells, 80 lbs at 3-4c ID 40
Sileage, 800 lbs. .......... so
Total cost of feed for January $S.77
Mrs. Heinen states that this same
ration was also used during Febru-
airy, which would give total feed
cost of 1852, which we have de-
Quoted from the total egg sale of
$60.62 for the two months, leaving a
net profit of $43.9S.
Joe M. Kunkel of Kimbell has also
furnished us with report of 100
White Wyandotte pullets in his
flock, which layed 1926 eggs during
the month of January, which is bet
ter than Is IA eggs per hen. Mr..
Kunkels pullets consumed feeds
costing $3.50. The lowest price he
received for eggs was 22c a dozen
and so dozen were sent to Mime
apolis by parcel post, which averaged
AZ 1-2c per dozen. The highest daily
production of this flock of 100 pullets
was &C.. Mr.. Kunkel says that he
makes a practice of turning on cleo
trio lights in his hen house at $50
A. M and also of keeping the lights
on in the evening until 1870. He
has his own electric light plant.
In all probability, both Mr.. Kunkel
and Mrs. Heinen have made a prac-

 SCORE AT LYCEUM
First Road Show of Season k PleaSeS N. B. AudinenCe
(By Herald Reviewer.)

NDy IlCiiiu LbCSlOWCisJ An exceptional group of perform CTS, songsters. dancers and funmak-
 CTS easily sums up the good qualities
 of the Neil O'Brien minstrel troupe
 which played to good sized and de-
 cidedly appreciative audience at the
 Lyceum theater last evening. The show was 100 per cent entertaining
 from the rise of the curtain on the traditional first part, to the grand finale. Musical and dancing numbers were applauded until it was necessary for the performers to respond to three and four encores.
 Fred Miller. the eccentric acrobatic dancer was without doubt the hit of the evening. He stopped the show in the third scene with his dancing which was quite extraordinary and different than from what has been seen on any New Britain stage in some time.
 Jack (smoke) Gray provided most of the fun although he was ably as- sisted at various times by Jay Clay, Frank Quinn, Tommy Wiggins. Roy Francis, Fred Miller, Stephen Ondeck and James Overholt. Gray was riot and brought forth volumes of ap- plause from the audience with his comedy singing and dancing bit in the first part.
 An unbilled soprano possessed a voice which could be heard above the unison voices of the chorus. He SCOT ed, however in the singing of an un- billed ballad at the opening of the sketch called Tn the Days of Old" This sketch consisted of songs and dances familiar to early day minstrel patrons which were quite pleasant to hear and see.
 An unusual incident occurred last evening, inasmuch as it is very, very seldom done in New Britain, when the audience applauded the opening scene If the fourth act. There were many beautiful scenes staged during the how which are worthy of note. This s especially true of the old colonial garden scene and the everglades in he south.
 The accompanying orchestra music | vas all that could be desired and all n all the Neil O'Brien minstrels was
 fitting show to open the road pro- uction season in New Britain.

Must Watch Pic lures on Screen From Booth as We'll as the Au- dience From the Seats.

Of the thousands upon thousand. of New Britain people who attend the movies during the course of week there are perhaps very few who understand or appreciate the work of the operator of the moving picture machine in the hot asbestos booth way back in remote section of the theater.
 His job, for it is really not a posi- tion, is not by any means a pleasant one and it requires a good deal of pa- tience as we'll as experience and abili- ty. The operator must be alert, must always have his eyes open for mis- takes which might occur and is re- quired to watch the picture on the screen as well as the audience so that he might detect any breaks in the film.
 His First Task
 The first thing moving picture operator has to do when he comes to the theater is to look over his reels and see if they are wound properly. He is then required to clean the lens on his machine and must do this be- fore each performance. He also cleans the two condensers and then takes a look at the two cartoons. The, upper carbon is usually seven eights of an inch in diameter and the lower carbon three eights of an inch.
 The placing of the film in the top and threading the machine which is much similar to the process of threading a sewing machine, is the next process.
 The machine is threaded" by bringing the film down from the up- per magazine under the large roller in front of the top sprocket and up over the sprocket, closing the top idler bracket down on the film. The film Is then carried down across the aper- ture and engage sprocket holes with teeth of intermittent sprocket, the operator forming an upper loop of about six inches with the index finger of the right hand, while closing down he intermittent idler bracket with he left hand. The gate is then closed

so that the film rests between twt guide rollers, It is then run into s lower magazine from which 1t is latel taken and rewound only to be placed back in the upper magazinue for an. other showing.
 The lens as well as the distance of the machine from the stage regulates the size of the picture on the screen. If the machine is on the third floor 1t is considered best by many man. agers to have a slanting screen such as is the case at the. local Fox and Lyceum theaters.
 After the machine has been thread ed everything is ready for the opera tor to, take a final look at his lights and then start the motor which in turn starts the machine in motion.
 In case of break, 1t is necessary to thread the machine all over again, and breaks are not seen by. the oper- ator unless he is watching the picture on the screen, as he is supposed to do. There isl no means of detecting g break within the booth.
 Underneath the bottom magazine of the moving picture machine there is a motor which operates the ma chine and continually brings down the film. There is also an the ma chine a lever with which to frame the picture when it is out of place.
 100 Feet in IA Minutes
 Approximately 1000 feet of film pass by the lens every IA minutes and if an operator desires to run his ma- chine at lower rate of speed he would have to do it by hand.
 In the modern up-to-date booths, which are of asbestos, there are two machines as we'll as a single and much machine upon which the films are rewound after having passed the larger machines. The operator also patches and bad places in the films. This is done after the first showing with the help of the reel boy" who is an assistant to the 1 operator.
 No match, fire or open light is per mitted in the booth while the public Is on or has access to the premises and no film other than that on the projecting machine or on the rewind- CT is allowed to be exposed in the booth at any time.

 An alluring vaudeville program will accompany the showing of Freckles Barry in Heroes of the Street." In this production, Freckles is seen as a l plucky boy whose bravery helps him | to do things at which his grown-up superiors fail. He is cast in a role | that gives him an opportunity to show | a side of him that has not been call ed out in his other pictures, fPen- rod" School Days" and Rags to | Riches" In these he was simply a rollicking youngster; here he is that | and more. Humor and pathos are persuasively blended in telling the story of Mickey Callahan, very much Irish and showing it in his fistic en- counters with the other youngsters. He handles them all, one at time, but when they come too fast his bull pup, Camisole, is always ready to an- swer an s S. In the midst of his checkered boyish career, his father, a policeman, is slain whereupon Mickey becomes serious lad and starts out to find the murderer and avenge his fathers death. A tender love theme is cleverly interwoven, the, fair young damsel being the vivacious Marie Pre- vost. lc
 Out of the welter of mediocre west ern pictures comes this positively thriller Good Men and True" with Harry Carey. In it Carey as a two-isted cowboy who fought his way through the fires of fate.

When Franz Molnar, way off in his garret work room in Hungary wrote "Liliom" some twelve or more years ago he little thought that it ever would become the standard of the theater in America, and if you had told him SO, he undoubtedly would have told you in the plainest language at his command (and after seeing "Liliom," for you will see 'Liliom" for everyone does, you will know that his command of language is not in fantile) that you were crazy. For Molnar wrote this glorious comming- ling of delicate fantasy and cruel real ism, because he had to write it. it was in his soul and it had to come out

403 THEATERS JOIN AGAINST ARBUCKLE Eastern Penn., New Jeresy and
 Dela. Put Up Bats

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-Motion pie ture exhibitors of eastern Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and Delaware to- day prohibited the showing of Fatty Arbuckle films in their 403 theaters until the public wants him back"
 The exhibitors association met to- day to consider what course it should pursue relative to the Arbuckle pie lures. VIII Hayes recent permission for Arbuckle to return to the films was attended by such storm of pro- test from newspapers and public in all parts of the country that the ex- hibitors were at a loss what to do.
 But there misgivings were set at rest today. Michael J. O'Toole, city chairman of the public service com mittee of the Motion Picture Theater owners of America, representing 12,- 900 theaters, presented the case of the public against Arbuckle so ef- fectively that the decision to prohibit the pictures was quick and unani- nous.
 Blockade is Unanimous
 Despite the additional permission VI AA%iiy iIs IAAdPPp plColucIllf Ol sJIlc State Board of Censors, to exhibit the films. the association adopted reso- lution declaring:
 Resolved. That we stand against the return of Arbuckle to the screen until the public wants him back"
 It was first resolved that the Fatty" films be entirely banned. But some exhibitor saw flaw in that. He protested and proposed an amend ment. It was that the films be cut out only until public opinion should change.
 Will Hays has repeatedly declared his purpose to dignify the screen" said MT. O'Toole. "The present ques- ton before the house is whether his act in readmitting Arbuckle to the films is destined to advance the moral and material welfare of the United States
 MT. O'Toole then read newspaper clippings and telegrams protesting against -Arbuckle.

Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit was hopping over to
the Smiling Pool out of pure curios-
fly. He just had to know what was
going on there. He just had to know
in safety. He had started with Old
Mr.. Toad, from Farmer Browns gar
den and had done Old Mr.. Toad a
good turn by leading Jimmy Skunk
away from the path Old Mr.. Toad was
taking He had stopped to gossip
with Jimmy and then just as he was
getting ready to scamper on after
Old Mr.. Toad, he had seen Farmer
Browns Boy heading straight for the
Smiling Pool. While Peter wasn't
really afraid of Farmer Browns Boy
he felt rather bashful. and 50 had de-
cided to run over to the Green Forest.
That is how he happened to miss see
ing Farmer Browns Boy save Old Mr..
Toad from Mr.. Blacksnake.
For two or three days Peter had
forgotten Old Mr.. Toad. Late this
afternoon he had remembered him
and so now he was hurrying as fast
as his legs could take him, lipperty-
lipperty-lip, straight for the Smiling
Pool.
AS he drew near the splendid spring
chorus of the Smiling Pool sounded
louder and clearer with every jump.
He could hear Redwing the Black
bird singing in the top of the alders
where the Laughing Brook enters the
Smiling Pool. He could hear the high
clear notes. peep. peep. peep, peep
of pepper the Hyla. He could hear
the trill of Stickytoes the Tree Toad.
He could hear the Croak Of Croaker
