Both of th e young people are well known here, and al though th e ir engagem e n t w a s an nounced some m o n ths ago, th e news of th e ir m a rriage cam e as quite a surprise to th e ir m any friends. Mr. C a rter is serving in th e U. S. Navy and is a t p resen t in th e tran s p o r t service, having already m ade several trips to France.

Van C o tt is well known here, having served some tim e a t the Me- cox coast guard station, while he was attached to the coast guard service. E G G P R O F I T S D E P E N D O N F E E D Food rep resen ts ab o u t sixty per cent, of th e cost of keeping hens, according to the poultry authorities of th e state college of ag r icu ltu r e at Ithaca. Buy the feed, th e refo re, at the lowest wholesale price, and fit the ration to th e cheapest feeds in so fa r as is practicable. F u rth e r, it is well to raise on the farm as m uch of the feed as can be produced eco nom ically and thus not only save the d e a ler’s profit, b u t tran s p o r tatio n as well, advises the college. B ecause of the m o u n ting cost of chicken feeds, only by careful m a n agem e n t of the flocks can the poultry be m ade to pay. It is estim a ted th a t if hens this year produce an average of only 108 eggs each, they will m erely pay th e cost of th e ir keep. This is based on the follow ing facts: In 1914-15 a flock of 2,000 leg horn hens on a farm in this state av eraged 108 eggs each. These eggs, with th e surplus stock and m anure, paid the feed bills and all other ex penses and left a n e t profit of $.05 p e r dozen or $.45 per hen a year. D u ring 1916-17, however, th e costs of feeds increased 72 p e r cent., while N u m b e r 1 w h ite eggs in the New Y o rk m a rket increased in price only 42 per cent. W ith this increase in cost, the flock referred to would have shown no profit. F u rth e r, says the college, th e flocks m u st be culled constantly and only the best layers retained. Feed is too expensive to w a s te on non-producers. F I R E IN G E O R G E ’S T H E A T R E A fire occurred in th e G eorge’s T h e a tre, Sag H a rbor, Sunday night a t 9 o’clock following the explosion o f a film. M anager G. C. McKay badly burned both arm s and face in fighting the blaze. The audience of over 400 left the th e a tr e in safety. The blaze was confined to the bal cony. This is the only th e a tr e on th e east end of Long Island operat ing Sundays. Two men from Camp Upton were arrested a t Riverhead this week for buying whiskey. They covered their uniform s with th e ir overalls and stood up a t th e bar. The bartender notified Sheriff Biggs, who took the m en in custody. \ East Hampton ■ I C E J Company- D. E .
