price. Strangely enough, both sides
won. A net profit of $UXR from each
group of Ihiis In a period at one year
was the goal set for each club, and
both groups cleared considerably more
than thnt amount. Kleven boys living
near Goshen (Including the three now
tending their flocks while going to
college) constituted one club, and the
other, known as the West Hartford
I'oullry Club, was composed of boys
living near Hartford. The unique
contest was suggested by the Stule
club leader of Connecticut, who bad

college. '
Rivalry Between Clubs.
In a sense each club was racing
ugalnst time to see If IIS hens, which
aggregated approximately -UK), could

year. Naturally also there was rival
ry between the two clubs to see which
vould make the biggest showing.
Both clubs held monthly meetings at
which each boy resrted regarding his
flockthe number of hens, the number
of eggs laid, the amount of scratch
feed and dry mash used. More than
one boy received kindly but pointed
criticism of his methods when reports
showed poor egg production. At the
close of the club year the West Hart
ford club had made a profit of $3.02 a
hen. while the Goshen club did even

better, with a profit of $4 a bird. Thus
each club surpassed Its goal by a
wide margin.
Inspired by this success, the three
Goshen boys have gone to college, tak
ing their hens with them. The birds,
all of which were raised last summer
by club members, have been true to
their trust, laying eggs more prized
than the golden variety laid by the
legendary goose.
MARKETING IS BIG PROBLEM
High Prices Must Remain Until Farmer
Is Able to Sell Produce at
Less Expense.
Marketing Is still the greatest prob
lem farmers have to solve. Until
farmers can sell at less expense and to
better advantage, city consumers will
continue to complain at the cost of liv
ing. The wasted labor, the wasted
products and the extortionate cost of
handling farm products are draining
the farms and costing city laborers
their hard earnings to live.

PLAID CLOTH IS
FAD FOR SPRING
Paris dressmakers In preparing tliolr
lines for spring mid summer liuv
made frequent use of plulds, checks,
strlH's, polka dots and other falicy de
sign. Many of Itodler'a materials,
writes a Paris correspondent, huv
been embodied In this spring's models
and never have the Itodler (-realigns
been more beautiful, although they
have nlwnya stood for the unusual In

terns are generally accepted, because
no woman can wear cither a plaid or
a flowered dress as long as she can
plain one, and for this reason she
must have greater variety In her ward
robe If It Is to Include the.te novel
ties.
Weavers of fabrics nre working out
doors In France amid the ruins of
their factories, which have not yet
been rebuilt, and tho things that thoy
are producing are little short of mar
velous, considering the lnck of work'
men nnd the shortage of rnw mute
rials. One might quite naturally ex
pect to find the merchandise turned
out under such conditions plain and
uninteresting, but it is not. On the
contrary, never wns such charm of
color and such originality of putlern
expressed In fabrics. ITpou realizing
the earnestness with which the work-
rs In these branches have returned to
their tusks, no one can doubt the lia
portance of woman's dress.
Plaid Cloth in Fashion.
When plaid dresses and coats were
Introduced last autumn many women
looked upon them as extreme fads,
which qould gain no lasting foothold.
Others, however, saw them In a dif
ferent light. These Intler had the
courage to adopt them because of their
beautiful colorings, which were very
refreshing after the dnrk, somber hues
we had been wearing. That there
were a great many women who did not
hesitate to order clothes featuring
plaids, and that they wanted real tar
tans full of bright color, Is evidenced
by the quantities of pin Id cloth being
manufactured for this spring's clothes.
A liking for unusual materials seems
to have developed along with the ac
ceptance of plaids, and, in these, too, a
preference Is shown for gay colors and
large patterns, If we are to Judge by
the things that are being shown.
An evidence of the extreme size of
the patterns used In spring woolens ap
pears In the tailored smock dress.
The sleeves and sldo gores of the bod
Ice are made of a brilliant now plaid,
the coloring of which Is one of the
best, being French blue barred- with
black, chaudron and tango yellow.
The skirt, as well as the back and
front portions of tho smock, Is of
dnrk blue homespun, the whole being
an example of the manner In which a
?ay material may be combined with a
plain, dark one to make not only a
wearable but an extremely smart dress.
The chaudron tone of the plaid Is
brought out through machine stitching
and arrowhead embroideries on the
dark blue cloth.
This dress carries out ono of the
newest Ideas In clothes that of In
troducing side gores Into both skirts
nd waists. To accentuate these gores,
they are made of contrasting materi
als, i

Wide Variety of Styles.
Making the skirt and waist portion
of a dress of contrasting nuiterinls Is
only one of tho many caprices that
have been Introduced Into clothes this
spring. In fact, so very diverse are
the fashions Just launched that one
may choose almost any style and still
be In keeping wlih whiit the best de
signers have brought out.
However, we have to reckon with
the fact that It Is not always the va
riety of new Ideas thnt go to mnke
our fashions; It Is In the end what
ho best-dressed woman really
idopts, so wo can only watch with
Interest all of these developments to
get nn Idea of what their length of
life la likely to he.
Combinations of plain nnd printed
silks and of printed silks with serges
are much In evidence and foulard put
terns which look as If they urn em
broidered are freely chosen for the
development of spring models. A dress
typical of this style has a serge skirt

to the hem.

which Is of the serge, has a vest as

spun, the printed silk. As the design in
the ulllc Is white, a white kid belt Is
used. This Is formed by two nar
row strips with kid-covered buttons
fastening It to the panels of the bodice
at either sldo.
Cotton materials are ns remarkable
as woolens In their weaves and color
ings. Cotton voiles embroidered In
high colors are being much used for
some of the advanced models In sum
mer dresses. Tlalted hip flounces and
tiers of plaltlngs going half way
around the skirt are other new charac
teristics in these models. Jenny makes
many frocks with flounced skirts,
Into which she introduces fancy mate
rials.
When being measured for new
clothes remember that on Monday you
will have ample food and provisions.
