scored the highest point, unsteady,
of the afternoon with her interpreta-
ton Of the aria.
The duet was also a persuasive
performance. Miss Randall's voice
is of the rarest of all voice qualities,
mezzo- contralto, an organ OF rare
smoothness and depth and richness
Of texture.
Mrs. Andrews presented her out
line OF the opera by sketching in the
plot lightly and with engaging in
formality, stopping now and again
to present some bit OF particularly
Inelodioius music. And a most ef-
fectiye method it was. The only
quarrel I have with Mrs. Andrews
Is that she didn't give enough or the
music, for her Illustrations at the
piano were graphic in the extreme
and deity introduced.
The whole thing was skilfully put
together, presented with vivacity
and humor, and went off with a great
deal OF eclat.
1t is much to be regretted that the
members OF the Music Club cannot
each one have an opportunity to at
tend a first-rate performance Of
Madame Butterfly" say, by the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company, or the
Metropolitan, for after the excellent
and informative introduction to the
opera offered yesterday by their tai
ented fellow m embers no one could
possibly complain that 'it's all
Greek to mel"
It's even possible that that choice
specimen, Milk punch o Wisky?"
wouldn't get by unrecognized-now!

The Good Producing Hen.
The five characteristics or a good
producing hen are: Good body
composition, which is measured III
three dimensions. Width across the
back, across the hips, just like the
good dairy COW. The underline or
breast bone or keel, and the depth
from the back bone to the bottom of
the keel. A good layer has broad
fiat back and the pelvic region
should be fiat clear back to the tail
and not sloping The speaker said
to avoid a hen which had sloping
pelvic bones. She is not a good pro-
Queer.
When the egg producing flock is
partitioned Off from the other hens
Two roosters would be used on al
ternate days. and then only in the
afternoons. This results in fertility
in the eggs and insures good hatch =
ability The speaker said that moth
ing but the largest egg should be
used for Matching, for they will
produce the largest chicks. The eggs
for incubation should not weigh less
than from twenty four to twenty
chicks are Matched they should be
kept growing by the proper
amount OF feed so that they will not
become stunted while young. Twen-
ty-five dollars used in fixing up a
poultry partition will be repaid in a
month with a good production OF
eggs.
The problem of production. the
speaker said might be stated in this
way. One hundred hens should pro
duce so eggs per day, but to keep
up this fifty fifty production the
proper feed must be given the birds.
Each bird should receive balanced
ration of at least four ounces of di-
gestable food day. This consists
generally in II pounds of scratch
feed, so called because il is thrown
in the litter of clean straw to cause
the chickens to scratch and exercise
in the search of food. The scratch
feed should consist of two parts OF
cracked corn, or six pounds one part
Of wheat, one pound Of ground oats.
In order to add proteins to the feed
Of the hen either raw meat or skim
milk or butter milk should consist
OF part of the ration. II generally
takes fourteen quarts of either skim
or butter milk 10 give the necessary
prCtiens each dav to a flock of 100
hens. Green feed is also necessary,
such as raw cabbage or other vege-
tables. Oats can be sDrouted in I,

IN warm water. and the sprouts and
roots which contain valuable sue

and Charles Evans.
The secretary has already receiv-
ed some compositions of poetry and
short stories about fifteen days be-
fore the time of entry expires. Also
several names have been entered for
competition in recitations and some
musical numbers.
Due to the fact that several COM
plants have been heard that the
programs were late In coming out,
which gave the competitors a short
time to prepare their work and have
them in the hands of the secretary
by the 18th OF February as first re-
quested, the committee has seen
fit to extend this time to February
20, giving all competitors five more
days to prepare their work and get
same into the hands of the secre-
tary. With the several competitions
that have come in early 1t is hoped
that with the five days extention Of
time a very large competition on all
subjects will be entered. 1t is the
purpose Of this Eisteddfod to slim
ulate an educational spirit in the
community and is not confined to the
Welsh speaking people only but the
SOiNldhg lhNIlCo Oil
American and English speaking
people to join with them in the vari-
Gus contests for prizes and to avail
themselves of a chance to earn not
only prize money but also honors
and educational help that goes with
the prize money. The popularity of
the Eisteddfod is~due to the fact that
it is competitive throughout and
kindles a desire for nobler things
that are a real benefit to the partici-
pants and community at large aside
from the prizes they win and to ex-
Gel in literary and music as we'll as
mechanical art requires a fine art
and handiwork which can be attain
ed by keen competition. The Eisted-
dfod has grown in popularity every
year and it is hoped that the COM
munity at large will continue to take
an interest so that this worthy insti-
tuition may continue in our midst,
that its scope might be enlarged and
that the object which comprise it's
reason to be fostered in the earnest
desire of it's patrons.

Washington, February One man
was in a hospital here with bullet
wound in his head and his two score
companions, alleged bootIeggerS were
still at large and unidentified today
following their three hour GunfiGht
with fifteen prohibition enforcement
agents in Princeton Georges county,
near Walnut, Maryland, late yeSter-
day. The wounded man, who was said
to be in a serious condition, refused
to give his name before lapSing into
Inconsistencies.
In the seizure of three stills, one
OF 1000 gallons capacity and d great
quantity of corn whiskey at two OF
the largest known liquor plants in
Maryland. after the defenders had
taken to the woods when their am
munitiOn gave cut, the authorities
say they have shut off one of the
chief sources of Washington's boot
leg supply The raids were conduct
ed by Washington officers under di
reCtion OF Lieutenant O. 7. Davis.
and were said to be aftermath Of the
wholesale raids conducted on local
bootleggerS last week.
Finished Corn Whiskey Seized
Several thousand gallons OF finish
ed corn whiskey were said to have
been seized at the larger plant and
large amounts also at the smaller
stills, half mile away. Both plants
were described as deliberately equip
ped, the police estimating the cost OF
erection at not less than $4,000.
When the enforcement agents arm
ed with riot guns and forty five
calibre reVolvers. arrived and sepa-
rated into two groups to make the
raid, after leaving their automobiles
on road a mile away, lookouts were
said to have given the alarm at
which more than a score of men left
the stills and opened fire. Then they
backed off, it was said, to meet on a
line of defense which they held foE
more than an hour. Breaking from
there the fighting then waged
over mile Of open fields and wood =
ed ravines for two hours, during
whcih the bootlegeer force was al
most doubled by reinforcements, be-
fore its members escaped into the
woods.
The wounded man left after the
retreat is believed by the officers to
have been struck by bullet from
one of his own men, as the direction
of the bullet indicated it had been
fired from an elevation and some OF
the alleged bootleggers were said to
have been sniping from tree tops.
