THE poor Keet baby pat Springfield, Mo., on the map. DESPITE all precautions some did find means of escaping the draftby suicide-

XEVER been in battle, outside of political ones, but if war is as bad as it is in the mcvies it must be awful.

ENGLISH government has ordered that less sugar and butter be used in making cake. Over here the bakers attended to that little detail long ago. AWFULLY odd Uncle Sam would make such mistakes, but he can't realize horn fast we are growing here. Gary registered four times as many men as he expected and the county twice as many.

OHIO State Journal very cheering. Says our soldiers who go abroad will have as much chance of returning as those who were in the Civil warThere -were 2,500,000 that didn't come back out of the' Civil war-

LAWYERS KUX THE RAILWAYS. An instructive study of the railway commissions of the country has been made by the Railway Gazette- It finds that of the 158 state commissioners who have charge of the railways, exactly one-half are lawyers, while there are only ten railway men of any rank whatever. This does not include the Interstate Commerce Commission, which contains several lawyers. It is hard to believe that men of mere legal training are fitted for the task of running a business of which they have no practical knowledge whatever. They may be learned in the law, but they cannot be expected to com

prehend the considerations which enter into transportation, very pointedly

says the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is not because lawyers are specially fitted that they are made commissioners, but because they are active in politics. In this country the law Is the open door to political preferment. The young lawyer advertises him

self by speaking on all possible occasions. It is part of his trade. The business man sticks to his job and is seldom heard from, yet it is the business man who pays the freight and the railroad man who knows best what the freight should costThis is one of the reasons why managers of railways are so insistent that the Federal government take over all regulation which is possible. They do not care to be ordered arpund by lawyers and farmers, and that is exactly what the present situation amounts to in the long run. No other business is so regulated- None other i3 so necessary to the public interest, We are facing a crisis in which the railways are expected to perform prodigies of transportation valorr Before this crisis is ended we think the people of the United States will place a hieher value on those who can do things than those who, from the closet student . point of view, desire to stop everything in the way of progress.

CARELESS HANDLING OF EGGS. Indiana producers market annually about sixty million dozens of eggs, and of these about' ten mfllson dozens or approximately seventeen per cent, are bad, the condition ranging from stateness to complete spoilage. No wonder the egg is looked upon with suspicion byconsumers and no wonder producers of good eggs are dissatisfied with egg prices. In five hundred dozens of eggs examined by members of the Purdue Poultry department in the spring of 191 fV at country shipping points, more than sixteen dozen were found to be totally unlit for food, while the percentage of second and third grades that might pass was very high. When these eggs reached the packer these inferior eggs were candled out and the packer paid the country dealer for the good ones. The dealer in his turn had set the price in the country low enough to cover the per cent of spoiled eggs that experience has taught him to expect. If all egg producers contributed proportionate numbers of these rotten eggs there would be nothing more objectionable to this than the huge waste that it represents- This is not the case, however. It is the farmer or poultryman who produces good eggs, gathers them daily, markets them frequently and who is conducting bis business on modern principles that must Etand the big burden resulting from the carelessness of others. The remedy for this has been found by some people in Indiana who are producing good eggs and demanding that they be paid for good eggs. One woman at Medaryville, Pulaski county, made two cents a dozen net on the first 390 dozen eggs sold on a "loss off" basis during the spring of 1916- By selling "loss off," that is asking and receiving fresh egg prices for fresh eggs and nothing for rotten eges; she was $7.80 ahead at the end of two months. As this was in th snrinsr. the gain was not as much as' in

July and August, when rotten eggs are more numerous in he general market and price are reduced proportionately. ' A net gain of ten to twelve cents a dozen is claimed by a Spencer county woman who adopted the same plan and shipped eggs twice a week during the summer- There are other instances ofindividuals or groups of farmers who are making a few cents extra on every dozen of eggs because they know they are selling a first-class product an( demand pay for itIn Randolph county five hundred farmers and poultrymen are getting two to seven cents a dozen more than the regular market price for stamped eggs, that are gathered daily, kept cool and guaranteed to be fresh and of full size. After consulting with many packers and dealers and poultrymen and farmers who are making profits through the sale of eggs on a loss-off basis, the Purdue Poultry department, is of the opinion that the progressive producer can best take the initiative by demanding that he receive more money for first-class eggs than is paid for eggs of uncertain quality. A community farmers' club or a small group of farmers can start things by putting the proposition up to some egg dealer or shipper. If he does not respond they can take things in their own hands by shipping eggs a case or two at a time, direct to a packer or wholesaler. Many groups of farmers are now making increased profits on poultry through such plans. Candling eggs is not the difficult task that many dealers, who have not tried it. suppose it to be. With a little practice a man can candie eggs practically as fast as he can transfer them from the producer's basket to the V& or general improvement in the quality of eggs this summer and reduction in losses no plan can accomplish as much as killing or selling all surplus roosters and penning up the males that are to be kept as breeders. This will have no effect upon the number of eggs produced, but will reduce the number of rotten eggs, .because infertile eggs do not spoil easily. TRUE TO OUR FLAG. Congressman Nicholas J. Sinnott of Oregon hopes that wide Publicity will be given to the report of a recent gathering in bis home city of The Dalles, on which occasion the citizens of German birth, who form a substantial proportion of the population, presented the city with an American flag Th. emotion displayed by the German who made the presentation, ..; tbneim manifested by his countrymen would have

stration. Representative Sinnott believes mat me --h-. -he native Germans of his district is typical of the feeling among ; prac ticaUy all Teutons in the United States, and he has caused to be printed in the Congressional Record a detailed account of the celebration at The Dalles fn ider that it may be brought to the attention of other German communities throughout the county '

THE PASSING

SHOW

WHT is a motorcycle, anyway? WHERE do you think you will spend the winter this summer?

IT may be all right for a FAT man to wear a white waistcoat. but we DOUBT if it is necessary. FRENCH have repulsed three more attacks by the Crown Prince SEEMS to us as if some scn-of-gun is always HURLING that lad back. HURRAH for the cash-girls UNCLE SAM refuses to tax chewing gum!! IF the gates of Heaven were built of slats WE know men who would try to scrooge through the cracks. WHEN the German war machine stopped at the Marne it stopped forever YOU can raste that on the sweatband in your hat. IS it possible that the U. S. officials are afraid of David Starr Jordan and Emma Goldman? LOOKS funny, anyway. "HAVE you a triple tongue corneter in your neighborhood?" asked the Indianapolis Times. NO we have three one-tongue buglers AND it's six of one and a half dozen of the other. THE next thing will be to register all the potato bugs. WE have our fits of depression like everybody else and one of them always occurs WHEN we hear somebody tickling a ukelele in the stomach AND trying to sing by the noise that results. N. No. we said Dame Gossip, not the Dam Gossip. A man thinks he has a lot of trouble at his work, but if he only HAD to get up out of a bathtub and hurry into a wrapper like some Women and then RUSH downstairs to the front doorbell to find that some greasy peddler, WANTED to sell her a pair of shoestrings HE'D swear a blue streak. KEEP your head up YOU can always see a rift in the gloom MUCH easier if you look up RATHER than on the ground.
