GRAND JUNCTION P0STMEN MAKE DAILY TRAMP OF

Every day the postman who brings

THE WONDER OF

There is little rhyme which has
come down through the ages. 1t
reads:
Little drops of water
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land"
In speaking of transmitters re-
Gently, a Western Electric company
man, familiar with the manufacture
of that all-important factor of tele-
phony, suggested that the verse
might well be changed a bit to read
big and little details,
Made with wondrous skill
Help to make transmitters
Send you speech at will.
During the past decade, the public
has come TO accept the telephone as
an every day sort of thing, good for
talking to some one miles away; but
owing to the familiarity which such
continued speaking acquaintance has
bied, mas probably never given
though to the delicate workmanship
necessary to turn out a transmitter
which will really talk we'll.
The transmitter, which is found
IN the great majority of telephones,
is made up of SO details or parts,
not including over 10000 thousand
granules of carbon, which are en-
cased in a closed cup and form
what might be termed the dynamo"
If the instrument. Each detail of
the transmitter is made as carefully
as the most delicate part of an ex-
pensive watch. The average person,
rarely dealing with dimensions less
than 1s of an inch, will scarcely re-
aliZe what it means to manufacture
very small parts whose dimensions
must not vary more than one-thou-
sandth of an inch either way. The
outside of the transmitter is com

This is necessary on account of the
fact that it is the housing for. the

Farmer Burns May Come
Here on Tour of State

and it is certain that Burns can get
on with him there. Du Cray can
then meet him here. Charles Olson
CoxBurns, etc, take him ON at
Montrose and possibly Clarence Gar
rett at Delta. Other bouts may be
arranged to connect with this sched-
ule.
In this manner ii is believed that
Burns will come here without a

with Duke.

today, and if he accepts the offer
arrangements will be Immediately
made with his prospective opponents

a greater drawing card than Dr. b.

Farmer Burns, than who no great

with Frank Du Cray.
Today several local promoters de
cided to make an attempt to- get the
old veteran here for a match with
Du Cray. title holder of Colorado. A
tentative offer has already been
made with him. but the new offer is
TO secure for him series of bouts
in the state which will lessen his
expense and greatly increase his
popularity.

ent plans, will open matters with

to the village or until the farmer makes
a trip to the village for some other
purpose and takes the eggs along. No
particular attention is given to the con-
ditions under which the eggs are kept
in the meantime. They may be kept
in a pantry or cupboard of the kitchen,
where the temperature is comparative
ly high and where the eggs are bound
to undergo considerable deterioration
in quality or to reach a more or less ad-
vanced stage of actual spelling. Even
in these cases where the importance of
a low temperature is realized and an
effort made to secure this by placing
the eggs in cellar. there is likelihood
that the cellar may be damp, and the
eggs in consequence become moldy.
Likewise, no particular effort is made
to obtain clean eggs by proper attention
to the nests and by frequent gathering,
or to separate the clean from the soiled
eggs when taking them to market

VALD0STA HENS GO IN
FOR RAILROAD NESTS

NALDOSTA, GA, Aug. IA few
weeks ago a freight train rolled into
this station with an old hen setting
on twelve eggs In the truck. 1t is said
the eggs were laid while the car was on
sideUack somewhere above Triton.
Since that time two nests have been
found in the yards of the Atlantic Coast
Line, both of them being on a track
that has been in use dozens Of times a
day by switch engines and trains one
Of the hens has Matched out ten small
biddies and is raising them The other
is setting on a nest between the rails

price per dozen, which Is usually given
In trade. The village store keeper is
not dealer in eggs from choice, but
rather because he feels it necessary to
take the ggs in order to keep the
trade Of the farmer. IF he does not
take the eggs he fears that the farmer
will offer them to one Of his competi-
tors and will in consequence be likely
to give that competitor the bulk Of his
trade. For the same reason the mer-
chant believes that he must accept the
eggs as they run, good or bad, fresh or
stale, clean or dirty, for if he does not
his competitors will. This system of
buying by the store keeper is known
as the case count system.
The merchant holds the eggs until
he has enough to make a shipment to
some egg dealer or shipper from whom
he gets regular quotations. The delay
here may be anywhere from two days
to a week or even two weeks. Usually
the conditions attendant upon the
shipment of these eggs up to the time
they reach the packing house are such
as to cause a still further deteriOra-
ton in the eggs. After they reach the
packing house they are assembled in
great numbers so that more attention
and care is given their handling, and,
although the eggs go through one or
more sets of hands from this point be-
fore they are placed in storage or reach
the consumer. the deterioration which
they undergo is not so great proper
tionately.
Delay in Moving Eggs.
1t Will be observed that the one UNI
favorable factor which stands out most
prominently In this system of market
ing is the delay in moving the eggs.
There Is delay in gathering the eggs,
delay in taking them to town, and de-
lay on the part of the store keeper.
Whenever these delays are coincident
with high temperatures, serious loss
and deterioration result. This is evil
denced by the poor quality of summer
eggs

NOW IS TIME To

Breeders as Low in Price as
They viii Ever Get-Ad-
VanCeS Begin Soon.
By n, V, MARX,

Now that the breeding season Is over
and the mattngs are being broken up,
there are always some birds that the
| high class poultrymen wish to dispose
of, They are mostly good enough to
grace the high class breeding pen
Right now is the time for those who
contemplate purchasing stock to take
advantage of the opportunity to get
new blood or better stock for future
use at a price of one-third to one half
what the same fowls will bring later in
the season.
The early buyer gets the best selec
ton. 1t is better, too, for the fowls to
be moved to their new quarters before
the hens begin laying. 1t is a great
mistake to put off the purchase of
breeding stock until the next breeding
| season. One who does this pays more
for his stock and in addition runs the
risk OF losing the earlier and better
part of the season, for the laying and
| Matching results are likely to be poor
while the fowls are becoming aCcus-
toned to their new conditions.
For the man who wishes to embark
| in the poultry business, let him choose
and keep one variety-and let his pur-
chase be of the best he can obtain, and
after his skill in breeding has in
of another variety

and money to breed one variety to a
