Selling Over.Ripe- Eggs In That County

IA certain farmer in this county
took to market nine dozen eggs. AS
all the eggs in town had been ship

turned with complaint that they
were all rotten. While none were
aware of it at the time, a govern
ment inspector was in the store,
and proceeded to break the remain

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES

Closely in line with the convoca.
ton addresses Of the past month,
Prof. Putnam spoke to the students
last Monday morning on the rela-
tionship Of music and health. He
discussed music as tonic both
mental and physical,and showed how
music affects the action of the
mind, and through it the bodily
functions. Prof Froyssa here gave
two renditions, one Of Slayonic
lullaby, and the other light fan
tasy, as illustrative of Dr. Putnam
remarks. Selections were also given
by Miss GraSse and Miss Johnson.
Music is, said the Professor, a
means by which to teach concen-
tration of the mind. 1t should be
studied as you would study good
literature carefully, methodically, in
tently. Its best effects are never
obtained unless there is complete
harmony between the artist and his
audience harmony difficult to OBJ
tain, and easily broken. The hour
closed with a selection played by
the college band sextet.

now on. Beach is the first of the
towns to be visited, Beach Dec. 7th,

him s75 to square the deal. Some
farmers seem to think that the law
in regard to marking this kind Of
produce is a joke, but if caught will
find It quite different. These gov

CAN He KEEP ouiEy

If President Roosevelt knows
things about members OF either
house or senate, which show them
unfit to represent the people, can
he properly suppress such facts?
His recent message contained a
passage relating to the use OF sec
ret service for the investigation OF
congressman which was Greek to
most readers.
Congress has adopted resolution
appointing a committee to formu-
late action on the presidents un-
fortunate language. And now it is
an open secret that Roosevelt has
thrown down the glove and threas
ems to blow up congress with reve-
lations concerning honorable mem-
bers which will make Hearsts cam
paign revelations seem tame.
4 But it is also hinted that If con
gress is good" these revelations
will not be made. Hearst bought his
information from men who stole 1t.
The press OF the nation generally
justified Hearst in this extraor-
dinary course, on the theory that the
end justified the means.
But suppose Hearst had used this
information for which he paid to
make Rockefeller, Archibold, sib-
ley, Foraker and McLaurin "be
good?' He would have been de-
nounced as a blackmailer.
If the present has similar intor,
nation compiled by secret service
detectives, he did not pay for it.
The public paid for it. II the presi,
dent had paid for it, would it not be
sort Of blackmail for him to sup
press 1t on conditions imposed by
himself?
And If it's accumulation has been
paid for from public funds, is not
the public Untitled to it?
If there are other Sibleys, Forak-
ers and McLaurlns in congress, and
the president has proof Of it, ought
he to keep the proofs to himself?
Can he honorably do so?
