"biddies" took first place for
the month of December at the
western Washington egg-laying con
test being held at the experiment
station at Puyallup.
The college pen laid the remark
able number of 144 eggs for the 31
days of the month. The actual rec
ord of the five birds was 25, 28, 29,
30 and 31 eggs respectively, or an
average of approximately 29 eggs a
hen. This is the best showing known
to have been made in any contest by
a pen of this size.
The report of the college hen's vie
tory, just received by Professor Dry
den, also showed that a pen of Barred
Rocks sent from the college stood
high in the list, with a record of 135
eggs for the same time. The contest
began on November 1, and as the
O. A. C. hens were a week late in
reaching the scene their record for
that month was not so high. For the
two months of the contest, however,
the White Leghorn pen has jumped
from 24th to tenth place, and bids
fair to land at the top within a short
time, regardless of the handicap in
starting, it is thought.
Hens entered from Oregon Agri
cultural college are all of the pedi

eral generations of high-record
female ancestors (behind them, in
some cases records exceeding 300
eggs a year showing in their pedi
gree. The hen with the highest re
cord for the two months in a Cor
vallis hen entered by M. A. Allen.
The hen has laid 61 eggs at Puy

Delegates from employed commit

meetings at which "direct action" is
planned.
What form this "direct action" will
take is not divulged by the leaders,
who proclaim their intention to act
independently of the labor party or
lrades unions; but Dennis Jennett,
.the chairman of the committee, told
the Associated Press representative
they will be of a startling nature.
"Seventy-five percent of the Lon-J

Jennett said. "We are not out for
loot, but we want work provided at

And Aunt Pulclnla was shocked and
horrltled as usual.
Dulclo as a child had brought Into
the house various stray cats and shag

Returning one day from an errand the

Dulcie said happily, "when this big
fellow came running from the road
to wulk at my Bide." The mild and lo

Dulcinla's face, gave a low and threat

sharp and shining teeth. The elder
woman paling suddenly, crept behind
the shelter of the door, while Dulcie
dropped upon her knees her arm ca-

Dulcle'8 blue eyes rested on a huge
welt on the dog's head.
"The beast," she exclaimed, and it
was Jlin Harford she referred to and
not the dog. The animal, his grum

up at her In adoration.
"He's afraid I will take him back
to that Harford person to be beaten I
again," she exclaimed Indignantly. He
might know that I would not I am

"Friend," scoffed the exasierated
Miss Dulclnla. She went determined
ly to the telephone. It was a gruff
voice with a German accent which
answered.
"You'd better called up," the voice
threatened, "before I gets the police

"Oh, you must not whip him, really."
Dulcie heard her aunt's frightened
voice saying, and in a whirl the girl
had the telephone In her hand.
"I won't give up your dog," she said
defiantly, "until I am sure he will
have decent treatment hen-after. See
If you tan make me."
She did not await the expected an
gry reply, but replaced the receiver,
facing her aunt with rose-fluahed
cheek
"I am going out," Dulcie announced,
"to sit on the front steps beside that
dog until the man comes."
On the broad stone step sat her
niece, the mastiffs head against her
shoulder. After an Interminable time
a car came swinging up the rond and
it's driver descended. He was a young
man of pleasing and correct appear
ance. Miss Dulclnla noted. And as the
young man stood hat In hand, Dulcie
gave him permission to be seated.
It was evident that an earnest con
versation followed. Emperor after a
time of speculative interest, shifted
his vast bulk so that it rested confi
dently between th two. Dulcie raised
her velce slightly at last, and the lis
tening lady could hear, "Then you will
see your dog is taken care of. It Is a
pity that you trusted him so long to
your warehouse manager."
She laughed. "Evidently the man
