H. Meyer of the federal prison resulted
in the disclosure that Charles w. Morse
the convicted banker, made $4,000 in a
Wall street deal through Meyers courte-
sy. In the spring of 1910 Morse made
money selling short" on gas stock by
means of cipher message Meyer al
lowed him to send.
Meyer said Morse subsequently offered
to share the profits with him. This act
so preiudiced the warden against him,
in the editors opinion that the warden
subjected Morse to a reprehensible dis
cipline.

WHY so MANY EGGS ARE BAD
Producers Should Take Sufficient
Pride. in Product to Give it Proper
Care and Attention.

During the warm weather there are
many bad eggs placed on the market.
These bad eggs may be dirty, incu-
bated, shrunken or held, rotten or
moldy and bad favored.
Some of the causes Of dirty eggs
are unsanitary conditions about the
poultry house; lack Of litter in the
house; an insufficient number or
nests; and not gathering eggs often
enough. The few dirty eggs that are
produced should be consumed at home
and not washed and sold.
With these faults corrected the
number of broken eggs would be low
cred, for some of the above condt-
tions result in both dirty and broken
eggs The cause of some Of the
breakage, however, is the lack of min
eral matter for the egg shell. Oyster
shells or bone will furnish this min
eral matter for the production OF
thicker shelled eggs.
Egg producers should take sufficient
pride in their product to give it prop
er care from the time 1t Is laid until
1T is marketed. Subsequent handlers
should exercise similar precaution
Careful attention to these important
points would materially lessen the
losses enumerated above, and would
add to the pleasure Of producing and
of consuming this important food.
Eggs may be delicacy or only an
ordinary, or even inferior, material for
food purposes, depending very large
ly upon the way they are handled by
producer. middleman and consumer.

Cayour, William the Silent and George
Washington Never Yielded to
Despotic Ideals.

AS a Matchmaker Cavour stands
with William the Silent and George
washington. Each of these men
fought through the agony of war of
liberation, yet never yielded for mo-
ment to the militarist or despotic
ideals so liable to be bred in time of
crisis; each loved free institutions
with his whole heart; each could have
said as truly as William the Silent, Il
was always on the side of the people"
yet each avoided the special faults of
the demagogue as completely as Well
ington or Peel; each planted justice
and mercy amid the chaos Of wrath
and revolution: each kept an heroic
eQuanimity of temper toward all their
supporters. even toward the foolish
and the false who babe fair to ruin
their work: finally. each died leaving
as his handiwork nation whoss ev-
cry merit is symbolized in the life Of
