TO STOP EGG WASTE
Efforts Will Be Made To Pre-
vent Destruction of Eggs
and Poultry

The rousing of commission men to
the fact that eggs exist before they
find their way to the commission
house and the bringing of farmers
and shippers to rea!izatian of the
fact that they owe a duty to receiv-
ers and consumers as we'll as to
themselves is the task which Prof.
N. E. Chapman. head of the poultry
division of the extension department
of the state agricultural school, has
set out to perform.
By careful calculation. Mr.. Chap
man has determined that Minnesota
wastes from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900
annually by careless handling of eggs
and poultry. He has set out to pre-
vent that waste by instructing ship
pers in proper methods of handling
and by obtaining the assistance of
receivers In impressing on shippers
the necessity for greater care in maxi
ing consignments.
the loss caused by careless ham
ding of poultry products is widely
distributed. Much of it falls on the
farmer on account of the low price
he is paid for his eggs in case lots.
Some falls on the shipper, who loses
on breakage and eggs candled out.
The commission merchant must
stand his share of the expense, al
though he has his loss figured out
pretty well on expectations, while
the Ultimate consumer pays high
prices for his eggs and is lucky if he
gets good ones then.
Poultry that is not properly fat
ted for the market puts another loss
on everybody concerned.

How Artificial Furs Arc Made.

The raw pieces Of pelt are frozen
and the skin carefully shaved Oh,
thawed and sent to the tanneries to
be made into leather. The frozen fur
which remains Is allowed to tbaw
slightly at the bottom. so that small
part Of the hair is freed from Ice.
This thawed portion Is then covered
with solution Of rubber. which is
allowed to set.
The result Is that large seamless
pieces Of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin. These same artif-
cial furs are said to be more lasting
than the real, because they are I'M
mune from the attacks Of moths

"koENIGskiNDER" GETS
SECOND HEARING

"Koenigskinder" at a second perform
ance at the Metropolitan Opera House
on Saturday night more than confirmed
the good impression of the premiere. 1t
is a beautiful work. Geraldine Farrar
as the Coos Girl never was seen or
heard to better advantage. Jad,owker
as the Kings Son was more at ease
than IN the first night. Louise Homer's
Witch, on better acquaintance, is better
understood as n we'll thought out char
acterization. Goritz as the Fiddler has
one OF his best character sketches. The
whole cast Is good, not forgetting the
dainty and appealing little bit that the
twelve-year-old Edna Walter does and
the masterfui conducting OF Hertz.

Carl Burrian In the title part, to the

applause for the actors from them as
well as from the grown-ups. The inter-
polated Spring Song was we'll re-

CANADIAN PEOPLE DON'T
FAVOR RECIPROCITY
Says Col {. PryCe Jones After
Trip Through Dominion

New York, February 23.-After a
three weeks flying trip through Wes-
tern Canada studying trade conditions
with view to speaking on the reci-
procity treaty before the house Of
commons, Col. e. Pryce-Jones, M. P,
has just left New York for London.
Il found great divergence of opin-
ion regarding the reciprocity ques-
tion," he said. Eastern Canadians
living in the manufacturing center of
the Dominion are especially opposed
to i. on the ground that their indus
tries would be injured. They think
the money that comes to them from
the Western Dominion will be diverted
largely to American firms. The atti-
Jude among the Western Canadians
who are for the most part farmers, is
bit doubtful On the whole, | be-
lieve that if the question were put 20
q popular vote it would not meet win
the approval of a majority of Cana
dams.
The suggestion of annexation is
laughed at everywhere, and | don't be-
lieve that any one either in Canada
or the United States thinks seriously
of it."

CANNING CLUB FOR
GIRLS and WOMEN
One May Be Started Soon in
Sumter County

Now that the boys of Sumter have
organized Corn Club, and the men
are all preparing to enter the contest
among the adults, the time is ripe for
a club movement among the other sex,
such as is under way in twelve CT
the agricultural counties of North
Georgia and which promises to spread
all over the state.
In the counties referred to, it was
stated by those in charge of the agri-
cultural train on it's visit Wednesday,
the girls and women have been or
ganized into canning clubs. Each
member agrees to have not less than
one-tenth an acre of ground devoted
to vegetables that are suitable for
canning. When the time arrives for
canning the output, an expert with a
canning outfit will be sent to a cen
trail point to which the members can
bring their products and be initiated
into the mysteries of the packing of
vegetables in tins.
Much enthusiasm is shown where
the idea has been planted and it IS
believed that another great onward
step in living at home" has been TAX
en-. The state and national govern.
ments will be behind this movement
as one tending to give cheaper and
better living to the people, and there
is apparently no reason why Sumter
county should not have a club of this
kind for its women folks.

DOLLARS COMING In
TO AID LIBRARY
Members Show willingness to
Help Wipe Out Debt

The dollars are coming in quite free
ly to the library fund and there is
reason to hope that the recent action
of the directors in calling on the US
ers of the library to assist in wiping
out its Indebtedness will meet with
a prompt ard hearty response.
A number of replies to the circular
letter were received yesterday, some
by mail enclosing the dollar request
ed, others bringing the money directly
to the librarian. Several parties call
ed up the librarian on the phone and
expressed the pleasure it would be
to them to assist in removing the f.
nancial obligation that has weighted
down the usefulness of the institution.
AS stated, there are over !, 100 mem
bers of the library, and while many
of them are children not in position
to assist with donations, yet there are
over 700 adults, every one of whom
could probably donate 81 without feel
ing it any personal sacrifice.
Once the debt is paid the library
will be able to manage its finances
quite satisfactorily, as between the
$1,000 subscribed by the city, the re-
ceipts from fines and rents, and the
amounts raised by various entertain
ments those in charge will be able to
meet all necessary expenses and con-
tinuously buy books that are in de-
mand by the public.
