Fight Birth Control

Just recently a Dlrtn pTomotion organization was formed, it's object being to get government assistance to prevent the birth rate from declin- ing. This association advocates that all men whose family includes three or more children be exempt from in- come tax and that the father be given subsidy to enable him to properly rear and educate every child after the fifth.
 Some other vital figures included in the 1921 census report are inter- esting. Divorces were practically the only thing that increased, numbering 1928 to. 1000, while marriages were 9.14 to 1000, a decrease of 9.76. This is not as startling as one would think at first, considering the eco homie depression in Japan, which attained its worst in 1921, anl also considering the fact that all one has to do to secure divorce is to go to the city office and have the records changed, after showing some good reason which, in practice, is easy to do.

Negro Hanged in Texas.

.CONROE.. Texas, May 19;-The body
of young, Negro was found by Grimes
county farmers swinging to a tree by
the roadside near Plantersyille yesterday.
The Negro, who was known by the name
of Early, apparently had been lynched
Wednesday night.
Early was taken by officers Monday
night when screams of a young white
girl, whom it was reported he was at
tempting to attack, aroused the neigh
borhood. He was placed in jail at An
derson, but escaped Tuesday night. Sew
eral searching parties and sheriff S
posse were formed. Some of the search
ers apparently captured the Negro
Wednesday night and lynched him.

Conference DeIegates RETURN.

The automobile load of delegates to the
older girls conference at st. Johnsbury
returned to the village at o'clock Mon
day evening in good spirits and singing
heartily the convention song, Follow the
Clean. The sessions were reported in
spring and greatly worth while and the
friendly cordiality of the people of St.
Johnsbary, as well as the beauty of the
city itself, was highly praised. The 10
delegates, with their chaperone, Mrs. O..
w. Follett, and l. S. Sayre as chauffeur,
started from here at s a. m, Saturday
morning going up the Connecticut from
Bellows Falls, reaching st. Johnsbury at
4.30 p. m.
A stop was made at Windsor, where
they visited the house in which the con-
stitution of Vermont was adopted.
On the return trip route was taken
to Montpelier, where the state house was
visited. From there they followed the
White river to the junction and down
the Connecticut home. As accommodate
tons at st. Johnsbury were limited, dele
cations from all over the state had to
be cut and for this reason the three last
on the list, who would have joined the
other girls, Margaret Boyden, Ruth
Rogers and Carolyn Hyde of Newfane
were disappointed in having to remain
at home.

lected from a flock OF 100 Rhode Is
land Reds in the fall Of 1920 laid
seven more eggs per bird during
their second year than the original
flock as pullets. They were used as
breeders the following spring. and
the first Red pullets to commence
laying in the fall OF 1921 were found
10 be the offspring Of these late
mOulting hens. Their puuets in
period of seven mouths have already
averaged about two dozen eggs per
bird more than the original flock.
But It is not alone in number OF
eggs that the aJte-moulters' progeny
excel, but also in the value OF the
Product, as the distribution was
more even, a much larger proportion
Of the eggs being laid during the
winter months. IN The last seven
months the daughters Of the late
m0ulters not only averaged two doz-
IN eggs per bird more than the ORR
ginal flock, but the value Of their
product was figured and the same
price, about S1O4 per bird more
during the same period. It IS ex-
