Much Money Lost in Eggs
A Practical Talk

Washington, d. c.. April 10.-The
bureau OF animal industry Of the de-
partment Of agriculture has just Is
sued circular by Milo NJ. Hastings
presenting the results Of a study
made during the past year of the
conditions surrounding the produc-
ton and marketing of eggs, with q
view to determining the causes OF
deteriorati0ns In quality and conse-
quent loss. It APPEARS that there Is
an enormous loss due to the spelling
) OF eggs, which could be largely pre-
vented by improved methods, and in
this article the causes Of such loss
are pointed out and suggestions
made for remedying them. NJ, 81.
E9 According to Mr. Hastings, the
bulk. OF the poultry wealth Of the
United States Is to be found on the
general farms OF the Mississippi val
ley. Some Idea Of the growth Of the
poultry industry on these general
farms III shown IN the case sof the
! state of 81 Kansas. where exclusive
poultry farms are s ctically unt
known, yet the value Of poultry and
eggs sold has increased over g mil nils
hon dollars each year for the past
i've years. #'5s5

COMPLAINT OF HIS FIRST q, .t'
# WIFE. ". z

F Kansas City, Mo-, April 9.-John w.
Roberts, promoter, was arranged be-
fore Justice Richardson, charged with

Mrs. Maggie Roberts, who claims that
Roberts, after deserving her nearly
four years ago, married Teresa Hell
mer, in Denver, Co.., in June, 1906.
Roberts was released on $1,000 bail.
T. II was married twenty-five years
ago, and lived with my wife until
about four years ago, said Roberts.
1--WE simply could not get along to-
gether, and left her. Since that time
have sent an average Of So month
to her. She came into nv Office and
demanded that I give her 500. This
refused to do, and told her would
allow her $40, which she took.
We had two children, Lillian, aged
10, and William T., aged II. My
daughter, is living with her mother,
and the boy has just arrived in Kan
sas City from Texas, where he has
been working. He probably will make
his home with me if he remains in
the city" e..
William T. Roberts met his father
in his Office at the Jenkins building.
He said that with few exceptions
Roberts had provided regularly for
his first family.
The second Mrs. Roberts is living
at 1922 Tracy avenue and is the moth
er of seven-months-old baby girl.
When asked what his plans were,
Roberts said:
II have no plans When the proper
time comes I will make my statement.
These charges have been brought
against me and they will have to be
proved. There is nothing further to
say"

MOVE FROM DICKINSON

/ Washington, ID. c., April 9.--An I'm.
successful effort has just been made
by Senator McCumber to get the in
terror department to construe the
homestead laws literally enough
to enable number of employees of the
Northern Pacific. railroad, whose
homes are at Dickinson, N. D., to Sc
cure tracts of the N. p. r. R. lands
included in the Glendive, Mont, irri-
cation project. These lands have
been offered by the railroad to its en-
ployes at low figure and many rail.
road men living in the vicinity of
Glendive have awaited themselves of
the opportunity to buy cheap places.
Many, employees of the railroad living
at Dickinson desired to benefit
under the same arrangement.
but we're prevented by provision of
the law which says that the land can
only be sold to persons residing with
in fifty miles of the neighborhood in
which the land sought Is located.
Work for Dickinson.
F. L. Mcdonnell of Dickinson, chair
man of the committee appointed by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, sought to have the obnoxious
restriction removed, and requested
Senator McCumber to intercede with
the interior department to construe
the law more literally. Senator Nc
Cumber conferred with Secretary Bal
linger and Director Newell of the rec
lamation service, but neither was able
to grant the concession desired, hold
Ing that the law was too explicit to
be otherwise construed.
Wishing to give as many as possible
opportunity to get some of the land,
the Northern Pacific extended the
time limit set for applying from April
l to April 8. This enabled all those
who desire to change their place of
residence from Dickinson to Glendive,
so as to meet the provisions of the
law.
Representatives Hanna and Gronna
are both suffering slight attacks OF
grip. which is considerably prevalent
in Washington at present. While
neither of them have. been absent
from their legislative duties, yet ear
ly this week both expressed them
selves as on the verge of going to
bed for q few days until they felt
better They are deeply engrossed
over the tariff schedules, and the
hard work consequent to this has
kept, them on the ragged edge.

there Is a loss in quality which

secondly, q system of buying eggs
that will as nearly as possible rec

DELAWARE FAST BATTLEsHIP
Exceeds Required Speed In Tests
North Dakota Next.

Rockland, Me, Oct. 25-The battle
ship Delaware, the first American
fighting ship of the Dreadnought type,
made splendid showing on her screw
standardization runs over the measur-
ed mile course in Penobscot bay.
While her contract calls for speed
of 81 knots an hour, the Delaware at
tanned maximum speed of 21.98
knots and a mean Of 21.44
In order to attain this speed the
Delawares engines were forced to de-
velop 10000 horse power the highest
ever made by first-class battleship.
A sister ship, the North Dakota, will
have a trial over the same course 10
days hence and there will be much in.
terest in comparing the work Of the
two ships. The North Dakota was
built by the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company, Of Quincy, Mass, and is
equipped with turbine engines.
1t is expected that both rha Della
ware and North Dakota will meet al
requirements and that within si1
months they will take their places al
the head of the nations line Of sea
fighters. Each is 1000 tons in excess
of the Michigan, the most powerful O.
the American fleet today.
