The rail reason why hens lay fewer eggs in the winter is that they waste too much time in sleep and, therefore, do not eat enough. At any rate this is the conclusion reached by George G. Newell. By way of proof he points to his flock of hens, 150 of which he says gave him 18,000 eggs last year after he had subjected them to what he calls his electric treatment. Mr, Newell installed a 100 watt tung­ sten lamp and a two candle power in­ candescent lamp in one of his chicken houses, located in a suburb of Chicago, and two sixty candle power tungsten and a two candle power lamp in the other house. At 6 o'clock in the morn­ ing he turns a switch and the chickens get up, supposing it ili day light. The lights are turned Off at 8 o'clock, when it is full daylight in the winter--the hour when the neighbor^ flocks are just rising. Xt dusk, round about 4 o'clock, the lights in the coops are turned on and kept going until 9 o'clock at night, when all are turned out except the small lamps. The latter give just suf­ ficient amount of light to present the appearance of dusk and the chickens begin going to roost. This artificial method of lengthening daylight, Mr. Newell says, was fol­ lowed with immediate results. Eleven days after the lights were installed the daily average jumped from twenty-stx eggs to eighty-three. During the moulting season, under the old custom, when most of the food was going to feathers instead of eggs, he got only eleven eggs a day. Now the produc­ tion is fifty-two a day during the moult­ ing season. Mr. Newell says his experiment is one in efficiency and he believes the full limits are not yet reached. He believes an average of their working hours is what hens want. "Chickens think," says Mr. Newell. "If they know they are going to get plenty of food the next day they will lay. By my method I keep them think­ ing they are getting the same amount of daylight all the year round, and I am keeping them thinking all the time. They are merely egg machines and regularity, accuracy and efficiency ought to be secured if proper methods are employed." ADDITIONAL PERGONALS M. A. Thelen was a business visitor in Chicago today. J.

His death came suddenly and most unexpectedly. He was attending a stockholders' meeting of the Marquette Life Insurance company of Springfield and was making a speech before that body when he suddenly toppled over and died five minutes later. The deceased was sixty-three years of age and has made (Springfield his home during the past thirty years or more. As previously stated, he was born at Johnsburgh, where he attended the common schools and afterward took a college course. He left Johnsburgh some thirty odd years ago and went to Springfield. He returned home a short time latter and for four or five years was engaged in the mercantile business at Johnsburgh. Disposing of his stock he again returned to Springfield and since that time he has made that city his home continually. Thru his thirfty disposition he soon sprang into prominence at the state capitol and during the years that he has resided there he has come to be known thruout the entire state. He was one of the officials of the Marquette Life Insurance company and was a prominent factor in the commercial and business circles of that city. . The deceased was a brother to Mathias Freund of this village and an uncle of Supervisor S. H. Freund, Jos. W. Freund, Peter B. Freund and John E. Freund, all of this village. He leaves a sorrowing wife, two sons and two daughters to mourn his death. The funeral was held at Springfield today. Those from McHenry and vi­ cinity who are in Springfield are Mr. and Mrs. John Lay, Mrs. John Frett, 3. H. Freund and Mrs. Henry Klap- perich.

AFTER N HENRY P0ST0FF1CE FIGHT FOR THE P08TNASTERSIUF WILL ALSO BE WAGED HERE Not to be outdone by Woodstock and other cities and towns, this village al­ so has a fight on for the postmaster- ship of the McHenry office. It has just come to light that the present incumbent's commission ex­ pires sometime this summer and the fight for the office is already on. It will be remembered that T. J. Walsh was the first to circulate his petition for the office and last week another candidate came into the field in the person of John E. Freund, who is busying himgfelf in circulating his petition. Postmaster J. C. Holly, who Is now handling the affairs of the office and who has efficiently served the public in this capacity for more than three years, is also in the race. Thus it may be seen that the fight at the pres­ ent setting is a three cornered affair and it wouldn't surprise us in the least to see more candidates in the field be> {ore long. In vieyr of the fact that there are two offices in the village, the office in question carries with it a nice salary and for this reason the job is one well worth going after. Altho it will be some time before recommendations for the office will be made, the various candidates will not be idle and will work hard to land the plum. The fight will be watched wfth interest by the people of McHenry. SOCIAL DANCE 8ATURDAY A social dance, to which everyone is invited, will take place at Stoffel's hall nex£ Saturday evening, Jan. 16. The management of the event is going to make special efforts to make things pleasant for their guests on this occa­ sion and if you are a lover of the old as well as the new dances you will not make a mistake by attending.
