KING HAS FIFTY YEARS RElGl
george Of Greece, Welcomed Hall
Century Ago to Throne, Has
Guided Nation Well

Athens.-King George of Greece, who
again looms large in the public eye
by reason of the fame of war which
appears to be spreading rapidly over
southeastern Europe, recently entered
upon the fiftieth year of his reign.
Next to the venerable emperor OF
Austria, he is the Oldest of the sover
eigns of Europe. Born prince of
Denmark, he was proclaimed king Of
the Hellenes by the national assembly
of Greece on March 80, 1858: He was
then seventeen years old, On Octo-
Der 30 of the same yeGy he arrived in
Athens, and on the following day he
took the oath and mounted the throne.
When the future king arrived In
Athens. forty-nine years ago, he was
welcomed by little nation of mil
lion people. He has more than two
million subjects now, and Greece has
progressed very creditably under his
rulership. Though Greece has been
overtaken by severe political storms
during the last half century the
throne Of King George has never once
been seriously threatened.
No one doubts that the king has a
genuine love for his adopted country
and az the present moment, shares
to the utmost degree the dream OF
every Greek of making Aegean sea
Grecian lake. as it was in the palmy
days of ancient Athens. and of seeing
her flag float from the minarets Of
Constantinople on that day which
may not be far distant. when the Otto
man shall be expelled from Europe.

PAYS FOR OLD FLATlRoNs
Former Servant Girl, Now Married
and WeII-to-Do, RENTS One
Dollar Bill.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-The conscience
fund" of the family of Mr. and Mrs,
G. M Albert, living In Lyman county,
has been enriched to the extent OF
one dollar bill as the result OF an In
cident which occurred about twenty
years ago and which had long since
been forgotten.
Among the utensils In the Albert
kitchen twenty years ago were a set
of plated fiatirons. During the win.
ter, when the house was heated by a
base-burner stove, Mrs. Albert EN-.
ployed a hired girl. The girl In doing
an ironing thought the kitchen stove
too slow and dumped the hatirons
upon the Goals In the base burner. In
few minutes the irons were melted
to such an extent as to ruin them.
In the spring the girl left and Mrs
Albert had forgotten her until few
days ago, when she was surprised to
receive a letter from California town
containing a one dollar bill.
The letter and money were from her
hired girl of twenty years ago. the
girl now being married and quite
wealthy. In the letter she stated that
her conscience had troubled her dur.
ing the intervening years because the
fiatirons we're ruined through her
carelessness. She stated further that
she wanted to make good the loss and
believed one dollar would replace the
irons now.

COLD STORAGE EGG INDUSTRY
InfaIIIble Rule 10 for Farmer to Mar
ket Product as Soon as Possible
After Laid.
py M. M. nAsrINGs.)

The cold storage egg industry is a
development of the last twenty-five
years. Undoubtedly the industry as
a whole has been of great benefit to
both egg producer and egg consumer,
and has tended toward the leveling of
the price of eggs throughout the year
and has resulted in large increase in
the fall and winter consumption. This
means larger total demand and a
consequent increase in price.
Owing to the fact that eggs are
spoiled by hard freezing, they must be
kept at higher temperature than
meat and butter Temperatures of
from 29 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit are
used in cold storage of eggs. At such
temperatures the eggs, If kept in moist
air, become moldy or musty. To pre-
vent this, the air in first-class stor-
age room is kept moderately dry,
which shrinks the eggs, though much
more slowly than would occur with
out storage The growth of bacteria
In cold storage is practically prevent

Egg Room in a Large Eastern Cold
Storage Plant.

stored, the growth will be checked,
but activity will begin again when the
eggs are warmed up.
Speaking generally, the cold-storage
egg, while not unwholesome, is in
ferior in flavor and strength of white
to a fresh egg. The cold-storage egg
can be very nearly duplicated in gross
appearance and quality by allowing
egsg to stand for three or four weeks
in dry room. Cold-storage eggs,
when in case lots, can be told by the
GAMBLER because of the uniform shrink
age, the presence of mold on cracked
eggs, and perhaps, the occasional
presence of certain kinds of spot rots
peculiar to storage stock; but the abb
solute detection of a single cold
storage egg by Gambling is, so far as
the writer knows, impossible
With the present prevailing custom
of holding fall eggs without storage
facilities, it is frequently true that
eggs placed in cold storage in April
are superior to current fall and early
winter receipts. Cold-storage eggs are
usually sold wholesale as cold-storage
goods, but are retailed simply as
eggs"
The fall eggs offered to the con-
sumner cover every imaginable varia-
ton in quality, and the poorest ones
sold may or may not be cold-storage
stock
Occasional articles have been print
ed calling attention to the fact that
the cold-storage men were reaping
vast profits which rightfully belonged
to the farmer, and advising the farmer
to send his own eggs to the storage
house or to preserve them by other
means. AS a matter of fact, the cold
storage of eggs has not of late years
been particularly profitable, there hav-
ing been severe losses during several
seasons. Even were the profits of egg
storing many times greater than they
are, the above advice would still be
unwise, for the storing, removing and
selling of the farmers individual case
of eggs would eat up all possible
profit.
When eggs in the hands of large
operators are properly preserved in
cold storage, the best and most eff
cient methods known are in reality at
the farmers service. Because of the
severe competition that prevails in
egg storing, the farmer is paid all the
Increase in price which the business
will stand. A comparison of the sum-
mer prices of eggs now with summer
prices before days of cold storage will
substantiate the truth of this state
ment.
