EAT EGGS IN COURT
TO PROVE THEM GOOD

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-When Dominick
Sarvo, grocer, was arrested on the
charge that the eggs he sold to Mrs.
Mary Olensky were not fresh, Alder
man Donohue suggested that the best
way to decide the case was for Sarvo
to eat the eggs in question.
Mrs. Olensky had broken six of
dozen and a half, and she sworc
that they were woefully bad. She
produced the remaining dozen as evil
dence. Sarvo said the eggs were good
and that his family used them.
"All right" directed the alder
man, prove what you say by eating
these H."
Sarvo was willing, but said IL was
toe heavy meal. His brother-in-law
Michael Allgrs,. thereupon volunteer
ed to eat half. Each man then ate
six Of the egges with apparent relish
and Sarvo was discharged.

Carnegie Library for Astoria.

Astoria, Ore.-Arrangements are
being made to accept the Carnegie Ii
brary offer. which provides for the
construction of a $4,000 building in
case the city will guarantee a $4,000
maintenance fund annually. The
present charter provides that no more
than $500 per year be raised by tax
alton for library purposes. Mayor
Smith favors a special election to
amend the charter in this particular,
so that the required amount of $4,000
could be raised. This would be no
great additional burden, as the city
now raises on account of the $500
by half smill tax, but can only pay
over 5000 under the charter.

To Rid Hogs Of Lice.

The following simple and mex
pensive method of Kidding hogs
of lice is suggested by an eastern
hog grower.
Prepare a wallow for the hogs
where they can get into water all
over. Let the water be renewed
often enough to keep it from be-
coming unhealthful. A wallow
that they will root out them
will answer if there is water suf-
ficient. On to this water pour a
quarter more, according to size,
of crude oil. When they come
out of this they will get enough
oil on them to kill the most of
the lice as they will dip them
selves repeatedly without any
body's help they will soon be
free from lice.p

Hogs like to root because it's

Use the washday soapy water

and it will kill them.

Forget all the SANDER you ever

Forget all personal quarrels of
histories you may have heard by
accident, and which, if repeated,
would seem a thousand times
worse than they really are. Blot
out, as far as possible, all the
disagreeableness of life: they
will come, but will only grow
larger when you remember them.

sake only those things which are

The Stubborn Mule.

i We scarcely know of a locality
where the mule is not in demand;
and prices are being paid for
mules that even during war times
would have been regarded as
fabulus. Through a peryersion
OF nature, the mule has grown
into favor, not on account of his
personal appearance or language,
but because of his actual useful
ness.
Will this demand continue long
enough to justify increased
breeding of mules? That is
question that should be asked
and intelligentIy answered con-
corning every product of which
there seems to be a lack of sup
ply. Upon the correct answer
depends the wise action regard
ing that commodity.
We believe the demand for
mules will continue, and that the
prices will keep pace with it.
There may be variations, of
course, but we are sure good
prices may be relied upon.
Prices based upon utility are
the safest to count upon, and
this coupled with the high prices
now paid for horses, undoubted-
ly insures good prices for mules.
Exchange.

1t is good plan never to have
any idle ground in the garden.
AS soon as one crop is harvested,
spade up the ground and plant
something else in the place of it.
Keep the ground at work. You
know the old saying, Satan al
ways finds some work for idle
hands to do" 1t is about the
same with the ground in the gar
den as with the hands. If it is
not growing something useful il
will be growing something harm
full. Better seed it yourself than
be content with what will come
spontaneously.

If people took the precaution
to rid their fowls of vermin
during the winter and early
spring months, the percentage
of loss in young chicks would be
considerably less. Lice kills
more young chicks every year
than most anything else, and yet
many people who keep poultry
employ no means whatever to ex-
terminate them. This is almost
as foolish as locking the stable
door after the horse has been
stolen. The older fowls, being
stronger, do not suffer as much
from lice as young chicks, though
they, too are often killed by
vermin. A few lice on the sit
ting hen means a multitude on
the chicks.

"The Magic Stick"

Have you tried the new meth
Cd Of preventing the contents of
the pot from boiling over? A
writer in the Woman's Home
Companion says: when you
want to boil anything quickly,
like cider for pple-butter, or
other liquids for reducing the
amount, place a stick across the
top of the vessel in the center,
and it simyly can not boil over.
Try it and see. For a large ket-
tleiit is better to use two sticks,
crossing them. For the wash
boiler, in the laundry, this is
good, too. Use a stick kept for
tho purpose, if you can; but if
no substitute a piece of kind
a stick two inches wide and
half an inch thick, Of stitable
length, will answer. Try it, and
report. 1t is a demonstrated
fact that a very little bit Of but
ter added to the contents of
cooking vessels like the coffee
pot, etc., will prevent its boiling
over.

Where the Trouble Lies

Discussing present farming
conditions, Secretary Wilson, the
head of the agricultural depart
ment. saws: 1.-THE real trouble is
that the farmer can't get help to
raise crops. While the population
of the United States has been
steadily increasing through the
usual additions at home and from
immigration the cultivated area
Of the country is decreasing.
Thousands o f acres formerly
raising products that made the
food of the country have gone
back to pasturage. The farm
as simply cannot get the labor to
Mise crops. The city draws not
Kly the laborer who might do to
he farm, but the boy raised on
the farm. Outside the fascina-
ION of bright lights, amusement
and the excitement of mingling
with people, there are sthe short
hburs and the better pay, The
farmer has doubled his wages in
tie last fifteen years, but the
fsrmer in his busy season must
York sixteen hours aday, while
ia the city eight hours has become
he rule Secretary. Wilson is
light. The labor question is strik-
ING at the very vitals of farming
Industries. To no class of citizens
will the words of Secretary Will
son appeal more strongly than
the farmers themselves.

thinking merely of the glamour

thinking merely of the glamour
! of college life and not of their ul-
innate gain. First, let the boy
decide, with your aid, what he
wants to be-or, rather, what he
wants to try to be. Then send
him to school where they make a
speciality o f su CHI things. A
general education" is a good
thing for a boy who is going in
to profession; but the boy who
wants to be a business man or a
farmer would do we'll to choose
his studies with a view to devel-
oping him along those lin e S.
Sons of farmers often become
farmers, and to this end there
are fine farm schools where they
will learn in a few years what it
has taken there fathers life
time to discover. All the latest
modes of farming are explained
and illustrated, and the results
Of science applied literally and
thoughtfully. If he is going to
be farmer, he will have to know
things to keep up with the pace
set by science a nd progress.
Farm schools supply also a great
amount of general education"
the lack of which is often deplor-
ed; and they supply the new and
practical things for which the
farmer of tomorrow is looking.

Proper Credit.

Some may be inclined tocredit
the Republican administration fol-
the increased school Teachers
pay this year, when they are not
at all responsible. The facts of
the case are: A dog tax was i'm
posed a few years ago, this tax
to be used in paying for all sheep
killed by dogs, the remainder to
go to the school fund each year.
This law was claimed to be I'M
constitutional and the whole tax
was held up pending a decision
of the Court of Appeals on the
question. Last fall the Court of
Appeals decided that the tax was
legal. and several hundred thou
and dollars of dog tax which had
accured under the Democratic
administration was turned over
to school fund, and this alone is
accountable for the increased
school fund. Had it not haye
been for this money going to the
school the per capita for pupils
would not have been so much as
it was in previous years. Clay
