1t beats all how many supposedly
honest and respectable folk fall down
wretchedly when It comes to working
on on their local groceryman eggs that
are added or rotten. or are in ALI
stages Of incubation. These Same folks
would kick up the biggest kind Of a
fuss II these same merchants sold
them sugar that had sand In It or
prunes or oatmeal that were wormy.
and yet they deem 1t entirely permits
nole to work of eggs that they know
are worthless on these same grocers.
The further strange feature about this
business is that these same folks.
many Of whom own farms worth $780,
600 to $4,000 and have money In the
bank, run the risk Of the heavy fines
and humiliation before the public, as
the marketing Of such eggs Is pro
hibtted by law in most of the states.

Autos Crash Head-ou.

Eye-witnesses declared it was miracu-

afternoon in head-on collision between
two automobiles on Church avenue.
The car owned by Eugene Mears of
80 Ocean avenue, ran into another
machine, the property Of DR.. William
T. Browne, of 62 Rugby road. DR..
Brownies car was badly damaged.
The collision was one of those acct
dents which the owners of both cars are
not quite able to explain. They regard
it as fortunate that their machines were
travelling at moderate rate of speed.
This lessoned the force of The impact
and perhaps, prevented the occupants
of both cars from being thrown out.
DR.. Browne, found however, when he
tried to proceed with his machine, that
the front axle had been broken. Brook

William j. Beattie of Littleton, a ply

men on account of his interest in the

DR.. Beattie was president of the Lit

Woman of 81 Injured.

Mrs. Annie S. Everett, 50 years of
age, of 100 Franklin street, Lynn, was
run down by an automobile in front of
her home last night and seriously in
jured. The machine was driven by
Herbert O'Mara of "a Lyman street,
and was returning from the Suntaug
Inn, Lynnfield.
According to the police, Mrs. Everett
stepped from the sidewalk as the ma
chine approa he'd. O'Mara sounded the
horn and put on the brakes. Seeing
this act, Mrs. Everett again stepped
forward directly in front of the auto
mobile as it started again. 1t is
thought she may have been dazed by
the brightness of the lights.
When taken to the Lynn hospital it
was found that her right ankle, left
knee and wrist were broken, and her
face badly lacerated. 1t is not ex-
pected that she will recover. O'Mara
is locked up at the police station charged
with assault.

NE WAS CONVINCED.

They had a boys corn growing con-
lest last year down in Hamblen county,
Tenn. Prizes were offered by bust
ness men, and fifty-two boys entered
the contest. The average yield of the
tracts tended by these boys was ninety
one bushels per acre. What these boys
did is the more deserving of credit
when 1t is known that the highest
average yield in this same county for
any year has been twenty-seven BUSH
els per acre, while the average for the
state is only twenty-six bushels per
acre. In writing of this contest a con-
tributor to Farm and Fireside makes
the following interesting reference:
"At meeting Of the boys early in
the spring l turned to an old gentle
man sitting nearby at the conclusion
Of an address by one of Uncle Sans
demonstration agents and asked,
What do you think Of itY referring
to the experts explanation Of the new
method Of raising corn. Sounds fine,'
he replied. and looks good on paper,
but 1t won't work out on the farm.
I've been raising corn all my life, and
I think I know a thing or two about
farming. However, If my boy wants
to try it he can have any piece Of
ground I've got, and I'll help him. for
want him to have a chance at every
thing good that comes along. If he
raises more corn on one acre than do
on FIVE I'll admit that my father, grand
father and were all wrong and begin
farming the boys way"
An interesting sequel to this is the
fact that this same boy won third prize
in the county contest and won his IA
Their over entirely to the new way Of
raising corn.

Aged Man Killed by auto.

Dunata Colasi, an old Italian seaman,
who earned a meager livelihood by
gathering driftwood along the shore at
Fort Hamilton, was struck down and
instantly killed by an automobile on
Fort Hamilton Parkway, near Ninety
seventh street, late Saturday after
noon. The dead man, who was 68 years
old, lived at 68 Dahlgren street.
Golasi, who was rather hard of hear
ing, was slowly pushing his wheelbar-
row filled with driftwood across the
parkway when a machine, owned and
driven by Louis Smith of $40 Argyle
road, came along at moderate rate of
speed. According to witnesses, Smith
blew his horn eight times and then when
he saw that the aged Italian did not
hear the warning, he turned to the
right. When he was really out of
danger, Golasi saw the approaching
machine, dropped his wheelbarrow, and
completely losing his head, ran directly
into the path of the automobile. He
was terribly crushed.
In the machine at the time of the
fatal accident We're Mrs. Smiths two
daughters, Bertha and Ada, and a son,
Louis, jr. DR.. Gerken of the Norwe-
gian hospital, who was summoned, said
that death had been instantaneous.

LOSSES ON COTTON.

1t is estimated by those who have
made study of the subject that the
cotton growers Of America loose $75-
100000 year through following bad
methods of baling and marketing
This Is IS per bale on the annual out
put Of 100000 bales. A systematic
effort Is being made by the American
Cotton Growers association to stop
this loss particularly along the line Of
providing the small grower with some
means of credit on his warehouse re-
eeipts which will enable him to keep
ais crop in storage beyond the time Of
the temporary decline In the cotton
market which usually accompanies the
marketing of a big crop.
