No one will be disposed to criticize
congress for planning an adjourn
ment for a week or SO. hence. On
the contrary, members deserve a va
cation, having stuck manfuHy on the
job of legislating ever since Pres
ident Wilson was inaugurated. The
war in Europe compelled them to
stay in Washington longer than they
had anticipated, but the administra-
ton has the situation we'll in hand,
and congressman certainly will have
no surplus of time in which to COM
plete their traditional round of hand
shaking and speechmaking before
election day arrives. The wonder is,
not that congress is just formulating
a plan looking to early adjournment,
but that it has been content to stay
in Washington until this late date
in the political campaign.-St.P Paul

PREVENT SUMMER EGG LOSS.
Careless Handling ard Loose Method.
! I4Ft Are Often to Blame. -.

: The season of spoiled eggs is here,
and the usual number Of .disagreeable
surprises at each. mealtime will COM
bine to induce the housewife to pur-
chase other staples instead. thus Gre
ating big slump in the demand and.
market price for eggs; hence the pro-
ducer suffers and mostly on account
Of his own lax methods of egg handling
and poultry management. While it Is
true that the marketing Of eggs prob
ably would result more satisfactorily
if handled through the creameries and
cheese factories, nevertheless J. G.
Halpin, college of agriculture, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, believes that with
only little more consistent attention
to details in managing poultry the av
erage farm egg output would be of far
more value. 49,.
The farm egg basket is often kept in
warm place and only taken to mar
ket at such Irregular times as deemed
convenient. and little or no care is
given to protect the eggs from the hot
sun while en- route. Too often in the.
grocery stores IAN egg is an egg" and
frequently all consignments, are bulk
ed together and passed on to the con-
sumner ungraded and INFESTED. Again,
under loose methods broody hens are
allowed to remain on the nests, and
at times eggs from stolen nests are
placed in with the Others. The tenn
peratare in the poultry house, together
with poor ventilation, tends,to start in
cubation or affect the favor, of eggs.
Careless handling results in cracked
eggs, which decay quickly and injure
the keeping qualities of eggs placed in
close contact with them.

His Record Worthy

The office Of county attorney is one
of the most important offices in the
county. The duties of that Office
are many. and if properly performed
are Of inestimable value to the peO-
pie of the county.
The work of handling criminal
cases is important, but the county at
tOrney has also the duty of looking
after the business interests of the
county. This work attracts little at
tention, but it's proper performance
is as necessary for the welfare of the
community as the trial of criminal
matters.
County Attorney Graham M. Tor
rance has devoted his very best eff
forts to looking after both the GRIM
inal and civil business of the county,
and the record he has made in the
office is credit, not only to himself,
but to the people of the entire coun-
ty. The people Of this county we'll
knew that in their present county at
torney they have a lawyer who will
successfully look after their interests
and who will give their matters the
same carefulsattention that he gives
to his private practice. g. 2
AS public prosecutor County At
torney Torrance has established a
most enviable record. For five sue
cessve terms of court every person
indicted has either been convicted
upon trial or has entered a plea of
guilty. Since he has held this Of
flee the records of the county show
that, in addition to many minor cases,
convictions have been secured in the
following cases: -. 49,.
Grand larceny, first degree. ..... 3
Grand larceny, second degree "a
Muluef '.........
uiSlaly ..'....
Arson, first degree ............ 2
Assault, second degree. ..... 3
Offenses against children ........ 2
'eoel Iloll q
Selling liquor to Indians ...... z
Unlicensed drinking places ..... 2
Disorderly houses ........... 3
County Attorney Torrance has re-
ceived little notoriety from the above
cases. The reason is plain. No
cases have been tried for personal
advertisement at the expense of the
county, but in a business-like man
ner, results have been secured, and
with the least possible expense to the,
county. - ... ~
Mr.. Torrance holds the record of
having tried a murder case and Sc
cured a conviction in one day.
If faithful and efficient service
counts for anything, Graham M. Tor
rance will be reelected by an over
whelming majority on November

Minnesota's poultry is worth NOR

Minnesota's poultry is worth more
than 100000 on a cash valua-
ton, according to the returns made
to the state tax commission. Under
the new law, which provides for as
sessing poultry at one-third of the
cash value, the total assessed valua-
ton Of poultry in the state is ST.
04S,133. Last year under the old
law, which required assessment at
full value in cash." the total poul-
try assessment was only $S74,O99.
This is cited by the tax commission
as another proof Of the better work
ing Of the new law.

GEN. HUERTA.

Americans generally, we believe,
have looked upon GEN Huerta as a
drunken old reprobate, and cruel and
vindictive dictator, but the Springfield
Union discusses his policies and actions
in way which shows that there is
much to be said in his favor:
by recalling his order for the
blockade of Tampico and sending his
gunboats back to Puerto Mexico Die
tator Huerta again yields to the wish
es Of the administration at Washington
and evinees desire to avoid any ac-
ton that may cause the collapse OF the
mediation proceedings. His conduct in
this respect is in distinct and happy
contrast with the spirit manifested 10y
the constitutionalists. who have every
reason to feel under obligations to the
Wilson administration for the manv
kind favors they have received. Bad
as his record is and deplorable as was
the method by which he gained the
provisional presidency, Huerta has
shown a finer regard for diplomatic
forms and usages and more sincere
desire to bring about a peaceful adiu-
| dication of the Mexican problem than
has been manifested by the constitu-
| tionalist leaders. lie has received
nothing but kicks from the United
| States, but aside from indignant pro
tests he has not attempted to secure
satisfaction for the indignities deserved
or otherwise, that have been heaped
upon him. What Villa or Carranza
would have done in his place may be
eonjectured from their unsatisfactory
| behaviour in the various negotiations
that have been taken up with them by
representatives of their good and kind
friend, President Wilson Huerta is
uulovely III many Of his aspects, but
in his attitude toward the United
States, aside from his refusal to salute
the flag for the Tampico'affair, his con
duet has been far better than that OF
Carranza or Villa, and his compliance
with the administration s wishes ha.
been more willing and gracious than
in the circumstances, the United State
government had any right to expect ,

question Of the appointment of a post,
