Fences and Gate Posts.

Perhaps no other feature adds more
to the seclusion and dignity Of a
house than we'll designed entrance
gate posts. The meeting point Of
house and grounds always presents a
difficult problem, even in the best SUBJ
urban architecture. Shrubbery often
mitigates this unavoidable intersec-
tion, but the old-fashioned white pick
ct fence, full of interesting detail and
backed up by hedges, solved the prob
lem most satisfactorily. Yet this best
solution must be used with discretion.
On suburban streets broken up into
many small lots there should be an
agreement on the part of several
neighbors to put up the same sort of
fence; otherwise the different heights
and shapes of the pickets would be
too disturbing to add any beauty to
the houses. In other words, a good
picket fence demands a certain
amount of continuity to do it justice.
In the gate posts, however, great va
riety could be displayed, and where
there is a group of little colonial
houses or even only colonial doorways
the famous old gate posts of Salem
offer wealth of suggestion.-Coun.

"A Most Delectable, Sweet Per

published in 1926. Quaint titles were
the rule in those times, and particu

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Large Part of Loss Can Be Obvlated,
According to Investigation Just

large part Of the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction of infertile eggs. This has
been demonstrated beyond a doubt by
the investigations concerning the i'm

Quoted in the middle west by the bu-

Secretary Wilson Of the department
OF agriculture estimates that, between
the producer and the consumer, there
is an annual loss Of $45,O00,OOO in the
egg crop Of the United States, the
greater portion of which falls on the
farmer, who Is by far the largest
producer. OF this enormous loss,
ABOUT one-third, or $15,OOO,000. is
caused by heat which develops the

OF eggs would market their male birds

Good Dairy Farmer.

A good dairy farmer has been de-
scribed as "a good general farmer
plus the love of cows" This is a good
definition, because the man who does
not have fondness for cattle and
who does not find some satisfaction in
caring for them seldom turns out to
be very capable and prosperous
dairy farmer.

THE EVERETT HERALD
MAKES A DISCOVERY
The Lady Is Bit Slow But She
Gets There.

Nine months ago tho Socialist party
of the state decided to actively enter
the school campaigns J. T. Sinclair
was chosen as the secretary of the
Socialist Educational bureau. and
under his management wonderful
progress has been made. On July s,
the Everett Herald discovered that
such was indeed the case In its is
sue of that date It gives our party
three and half columns of good adj
vertising, quotes Sinclairs report to
the last state convention. and tells us
that the residents of Arlington school
districts were going to recall the two
Socialist school directors for employ
ing Sinclair in one of the Arlington
schools. The Herald also informs us
that the county superintendent of
schools. Mrs Jones, refuses to sane
ton the contract for the employment
Of Sinclair.
We opne that this up-to-date paper
and metropolitan daily has no very
big nose for news If it had, it would
have learned before giving our party
double-column scarehead on the
front page that the contracts are al
ready signed. This information was
gained this morning-July 8.
After our Socialist school directors,
Morris an Grimm, contracted with
Sinclair to act as principal of one OF
the Arlington schools, one of the lead
ing citizens of Arlington, a lawyer
who hikes with the elite of the town,
circulated petition and secured the
signatures of various other citizens in
a protest against the employment of
Sinclair because he had dared to criti-
CHE several of the laws passed by our
state legislature 1t did not matter,
of course, that this same leading citi-
zen and lawyer faced debarment pro-
ceedings for having collected money
for others and kept it. This petition
was filed with Mrs. Jones, the county
superintendent Mrs. Jones made re-
quest of the state superintendent for
information as to the law in the case
and the state superintendent, Mrs.
Preston, referred it to the attorney
general. The result is that the con-
tract for the employment of Sinclair
has been signed, and with that goes,
of course, the right on the part of
Sinclair to criticize our man-made
laws once in while.

AND NOW BRODECK HAS
GONE AND DONE 1T.
our Commissioner Of Safety About to
Lose His Family and Home.

a little bird whispered TO some one
that our safety commissioner. Mr..
A. A. Brodeck liked another woman
little too much Now Mrs. Brodeck
has secured a temporary Injunction
against our safety commissioner,
which orders him to keep away from:
-Four residence lots in Everett.
Magnificent home on South Colby.
one Winton automobile.
one Studebaker electric auto.
Six horses.
Four carriages.
One COW
Twenty shares of stock in First Ma
tional bank.
Five hundred shares of preferred
stock in Sumner Iron works.
Fifty-six shares of stock in the Bro
deck Co. store.
Mrs Brodeck further claims that
she hired him as store superintendent
and that he is not now an owner in
any degree of the company and she
wants a divorce. It may altogether be
that Brodeck has always been one of
us wage slaves, working for his rich
wife.
This reminds us. About a year ago,
when the candidate of the socialist
party, r. J. Olinger, opposed Mr.. Bro
deck as candidate for commissioner
of public safety. The only objection
made by the opposition to the socialist
party candidate was that he was ''too
young" AS the socialist party never
runs "men" for office, but only repre-
sentatires of socialist principles, the
age, ward heeling ability and previous
conquests of Olinger were not con-
,sidered by this party. However, the
citizens of Everett decided that they
would rather have a good mann" as
safety commissioner than vote for
socialist principles, so Brodeck was
elected by about 1000 majority. And
now the good people" of Everett
learn that good man" Brodeck is
just as human and just as liable to
err as most any other man. The So
cialists will continue their irrefutable
argument that a rotten social system
creates rotten individuals, and that
the only thing that will make for
race of better humans is an entire
change from capitalism to socialism.

conditions referred to:
THAT Is a nice little bomb about
