DICTATOR HUERTA
NOT PERTURBED

President Huerta a few days ago said
lifting the embargo would not improve
the rebels position greatly, because al
ready in his opinion they were getting
across the international boundary all the
guns and ammunition they were able TO
pay for, despite apparent efforts of the
American war department to prevent
smuggling. He added that money was
the thing the rebels needed most, and
this they could not get. He appears still
to believe that this situation will con-
tinue, and Senior Moheno has expressed
the same opinion, although with less as
surance
Others not so close to the President be-
lfeve that the rebels now. will obtain
money necessary to enable them to make
swift campaign against the capital.
They point out that banking houses and
capitalists in general probably will re-
gard a loan made to the rebels. under the
new conditions as an excellent business
proposition. subject to little risk.

He commended the action of the gov
ernor of Maryland In calling an election
and minated that the example of Mary
by Alabama. Senator Bradley also spoke
and charged that the Senate since last
August had deprived the state of Alabama
of its right of equal suffrage in that
body.
Senator Reed of Missouri, who is un-
favorable to the seating of the governors s
appointee declared that if Mr. GLASS; was
seated "he would not represent the peo-
pie of Alabama because he bore no con-
stItutional commission from the people of
that state, but he would represent only
the governor of Alabama, the man who
had refused the people the opportunity of
naming the representative to which they
were entitled.

Bankhead Favors Glass

Senator Bankhead spoke al some length
in favor of Mr.. Glass. The burden of the
senator's address was that senator was
a state official, and under the statutes of
Ala benla the governor has right to NIL
any vacancy OF state office by ap-
pcintinent. Senator Bankhead said; Ala
bama does not and has never consented
that the Senate is deprived of her equal
rights OF equal representation, and the
fault could not be laid at her door"
At this point the senator grew emphatic
and pounded his desk vigorously, Incl
dentally turning over glass of water,
which trickled into the lap OF Mr.. Glass,

eloquence that he failed 10 notice it. 1t

People Want Fresh Eggs;
Supply the Infertile Kind
1t is Useless to Expect Good Prices for Eggs If You Can
Furnish Select Fresh Eggs.

AS announced i'll this paper

would tell why the people of
this section are not receiving
the best prices for eggs, we
will endcavor to give our views
Of tile matter, and at the same
time it compels us to put the
blame on the parties selling
the eggs.
The habit Of bringing old
eggs in to sell to the merchants
is where practically al of the
trouble comes from, and this
will be borne out 5v any egg
buyer i'll this city. 1t iscustom-
ARK for the farmers to bring
their eggs i'll about once a week
and often eggs are as old as
ten days, and then some some
times.
The buying public wants
fresh eggs, and are willing to
pay more for fresh eggs, but
when they buy dozen eggs,
and find from two to four unfit
for use, they soon become dis
satisfied, and may refuse to
buy thereafter, unless they
know positively that the eggs
are fresh; therefore the pro-
Queer should be careful to sell
only fresh eggs, and eggs that

have been published, and by
writing for Farmers Bulletin
594, of the Department of Ag-
ricuture, they will send it TO

Always bear i'll mind, that
it is the egg seller who must
keep his reputation for fresh
eggs, and that he is the one
to see that the customers are
satisfied. Never think that
the CONSUMERS have to buy
eggs, for they don't. They can
do without eggs, and unless
YOU create a desire for fresh
eggs, YOU are the loser.
We would advise that our
farmers pay more attention to
the quality of the eggs that
they sell, and i'll all cases aim
to sell eggs that they can guar

Feeders of beef cattle are also com

The advantages of the silo are
many. 1t saves, according to re-
ports OF many experiment stations

ACCoding TO the various expei-
