crowded. well meaning, enthusiastic
crowd. Nor did it fall the least bit
short Of the mark expected. 1t was

we knew that those six men were
not making all that harmony. Soon
enough, sure enough. the red and
white peppermint candy stuff drop

the gang was revealed, recklessiy

The very first impression which
settled agreeably into the gray mat

was that the chorus was good one.
That word is used advisedly. BY
good, we mean. having loads Of VOL
ume and of very excellent tone. The
chorus work throughout the. show
was very good. 1t goes without say
ing. that very much Of that credit
is due Gov. Keith Ryan of the Ma
tional Soldiers Home, who directed
the boys. His associate director was

Cultivated Land
Increase Noted
in England

London, Jan. II a. p. by MALL
Although the land under cultivation
IN England and Wales during 1923
showed a decrease Of $4,000 acres,
there are still as many acres being
cultivated as before the war. accord
ing to the 1923 report on the Board
of Agriculture.
The acreage of wheat In 1928, the
renort says, was 1,740,000 acres, or
nyactically the same as the average
~ the ten years Immediately before
The war. The very low prices
.realized for the large crop Of pota-
toes grown In 1922, led to the plant
ing OF $4,000 acres less in the past
year, but the total was larger than
IN any year before the war.
The total number of fruit trees re-
.urned was 1885, 900. of which L.
az 200 are apple trees, 4,642, 900
NUNS, 1.757.0o0 pears and 10000
cherries.
The sugar beet acreage was 49,
ooo Just double that of the previous
year. a.,
stock the report points out that the
number of cattle-5, 823, 000-was
10000 greater than in the previous
years and adds that the additions
n the past two years have brought
the cattle herds back to the pre-
var level. The total number OF
kheep reared shows an increase of
ag8 600. the number now being 49,
$4,000, the pig population increased
by $4,000 to 2.612,000. the largest
number recorded since 1911.
The worst feature of the report
was the slump in the number Of per-
sons employed on the land, there
being a decrease Of $1,000. Nearly
60 900 of these workers were in
regular employment, the remainder
being only casuals.

What Is a Fresh EGG?

So many and varied are the con-
ceptiops of the word "fresh" when
applied to an egg that the produce
trade is advocating the use OF some
other descriptive term. Most-1naf

however. is not borne out by the folA
lowing definition from the Century
Dictionary:
Having its original qualities; unS

COURT TO INTERPRET
MARINE LIQUOR LIMIT
Test Case Being Arranged in New
York Based on Treaty for
One-Hour Run.
RI the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 30.-Fed-
eral authorities yesterday made plans
to obtain a court Interpretation Of
the recent liquor search treaty be-
tween the United States and England,
with a view of extending the seiz-
ure limit for the liquor fleet and rum
runners from 12smiles to a possible
80 or 25 miles distance.
An information was filed by As
sistant United States Attorney Nc
Gurk against the master and crew of
the 30-foot motor boat k146a2, which
was captured Sunday off the New
Jersey coast. 1t had no liquor on
board, but, according to officials, was
without clearance papers and had es-
tablished contact with the schooner
Pictorian, II miles off shore The
schooner was also seized on Sunday.
According to the Federal officials,
the 12-mile limit no longer protects
the liquor fleet or the rum runners,
because the treaty extended the au-
thority Of the United States any dis
tance from shore that can be covered
within one hour. They contend, there
rore, that since the K-14622 has a
speed of 80 miles an hour. it would
be subject to seizure at that distance.
