Dictated conclusively that steady per-
Torrance over the entire period of the
competition would bring out the heavier
layers, and that "spurts,' unless maxi
mum over a prOtracted period, could
not make a winner.
On the other hand, steadlness of per-
Torrance does not always mean that a
high score will follow; if a bird is of
medium capacity, four, or even five
eggs would not mean winner-winners
usually average 51s to slightly more
than eggs per week; one case is on
record in these competitions where the
average was a small AIaction over 61R
eggs. Likewise pens to win must lay
a total of over 1000 eggs, and the more
nearly such pens come to laying 50
weeks the better their chances to win.
Highest pen score in these competitions
ran up to 1905 eggs, a weekly average of
Is and a fraction eggs per week. An
average Of 20 eggs per week will give a
final total Of 1910 eggs; an average of
% eggs for 40 weeks will give a total Of
1000 eggs, but rarely will a pen that is
practically inactive for ten or twelve
weeks reach the first section of three
higher pens.
Breeding for heavy production neces-

mot So" answered the accurate
records kept by Harnish. Our asset
and liability columns show that the
flock returned a labor income of more
than $4,000 for the year and paid the
owner more than e1.2O for every hour
he spent on the flock"
And records don't lie.
The Huntingdon county poultry
man started the year with 1850 birds.
No star boarders'' are permitted on
the place, and Harnish culled fire.

the year with $50 hens.
A modern plant with two big lay
ing houses, several colony houses, a
good range and new Matching cell

Graduating from the four-year
course in agriculture at Penn State,
Harnish has gone back to his home
community and become a leader. He
is demonstrating that there is money
in farming when efficient methods
are combined with willingness to
work.

at their meeting of October 26th, 1928.
1t is a well know fact nowadays,
among educators, that such work is a
most important factor in the educa-
ton of children and young people and
should be put in their hands both in
the home and in the school.
Much credit will go to the Parent
Teacher Associations of the State for
carrying out this plan as their Coop

make up for the lack of funds for
school equipment that makes it i'm
possible for the State to purchase the
much desired and needed work for

 After keeping the other Indians barricaded in their houses for four days he started for the chiefs house but was unable to get in. He was fin ally shot and killed by Little Old John. This happened on March 29th and ended the reign of terror of Lake Tetlin.
 Little Old John was tried by the In- dian Council in accordance with In- dian law and acquitted but the Chief felt that White Mans Law" should enter in so he sent word to Fairbanks of the crime and party consisting of Special Attorney E. B. Collins, Deputy Marshal John Buckley, Dr. J. A. Suth- erland and Commissioner John Had ukovich made the long trip up to Last Tetlin that the authority of the law of the United States might be upheld.
 They report that the Tetlin Indians are of a very high type, primitive but not spoiled by having been in too close contact with the white man.
 While the party was at Last let lin, a Council meeting was held with five chiefs of different tribes present. Matters which the chiefs believed need ed the advice of the white men were discussed at this time.
 pr. J. A. Sutherland was kept busy during the trip giving medical atten- tion to the natives at various stops made along the way.

EXPECTS DECREASE
 IN PRICE 0F COAL
Byron Newton Brings Cheerful
 News to Rotary Club

The anthracite coal miner is the highest paid worker in the world.
 John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America has more power than the president of the United States
 The anthracite miner gets paid more in proportion to his labor than any other worker in the world, and this situation cannot be corrected be- cause the miners union will close the mines.
 The anthracite coal industry is slipping and the operators are afraid they will lose their business.
 By putting in the winters supply of coal in the spring, the danger of strikes in the anthracite coal fields will be minimized.
 By buying buckwheat, rice and bar ley sizes the amount of anthracite coal on the market will be increased 80 to 35 per cent.
 The anthracite miner is making so much money he won't work steady because he doesn't have to.
 The foregoing are statements made by Byron Newton, a member of the anthracite coal commission, formerly assistant secretary of the treasury and one time collector of the port of New York, at the noon meeting of the New Britain Rotary club today.
 Mir. Newton is thoroughly familiar with the coal mining industry. He began his address by remarkins that the present is a period of peace in the coal region as the anthracite men are working under an agreement that lasts until September l. 1925 and the bituminous men until April ], 1927.
 Because of this he said the anthra- cite fields again are approaching nor maj. coal is showing better quality and the annoying situation that comes with strike talk is being relieved.
 He said that within the last 20 years all tho difficulties of the anthra cite coal situation have been due to strike trouble in the coal field--high prices poor quality and panicky markets.
 Hc said he expected a slight scaling down of prices from now on.
 NO one realizes the coal situation better than the anthracite mine own- CTS" ho said. "They are losing their business and they know it. All over the country people are putting in oil burning furnaces"
 Saturday being the 18th anniversary of tho founding of the Rotary, Leon A. Sprague, founder of the local club, read the annual message from Paul Harris founder of tho organization.
 Invitations from the Knights of Columbus to hear President Coolidge broadcast & Rotary message, by listen- ing fin on tho K. Of c. radio. and from Evoryman's Bible class to attend the session next Sunday morning in the Capitol theater and help the Leland cup in New Britain were read and &C., coptcd.
