ey spent to improve our wheat, our

Our country is money mad he

Stealing Skunks Is
New Kind Of Crime

WARRENSBURG, Mo-A novel
theft in Johnson county seems to be
the last word in felonies. 1t is the
plundering of skunk farms. Two
farmers corrals were robbed within
few nights Tho fr-t that of
Mason Stirk, living near Knobnos
ter Stirk had 100 skunks With
several neighbors he went coon
hunting recently, and when he re
turned at daylight his corral vas
empty.
Nearby in the underbrush he
found the carcasses of the animals
which had been skinned
James Huffaker, who resides near
here and raises skunks for their
fur, lost his entire lot of sixty
skunks In the underbrush nearby
he found their carcasses denuded Of
their hides. The fur of the skunk
is very valuable this winter and
many young farmers are trapping
and raising the animals for profit
The skunk corrals, for obvious
reasons are located some distance
from human abode, and unless
guarded offer easy chances for
thieves.

South America Is
Circumnavigated

WASHINGTON.-W William J, Stone,
an American engineer on Panama
canal tug Cocoli, enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first person to cir
cumnavigate the continent of South
America
About two years ago Stone sailed
from Colon on the canal tug Reliance
for Panama, where he arrived on
June II, 1912. Later on he was
transferred to the Cocoli, which
on January 20 passed through the
canal to the Atlantic, thus com
pleting Stones cruise by water
around South America.
Two days later the tug Reliance
followed the Cocoli and will ,hus go
down in history as the first vessel
o circumnavigate the continent.
t took the Reliance 176 days to
travel the 1C,5O0 miles from Colon
to Panama, While she passed through
the canal from the Pacific to the
\ lantic in one day.

New Method Found
For Keeping Eggs

PITTSBURG. - Egg storage by
sterilization is to be effected in
Pittsburg for the first time in this
country. The plant is in process Of
erection. An egg even in very no,
weather. can. by the sterilization pr
cess. be stored for ten months and,
when taken out, be as fresh as a
newly-laid egg-according to those
who have made the process a sue
cess in Europe for the las five years.
The prom tiers claim that by this
process the price of fresh eggs will
have to come down. as it has IN
Europe because the egg stored b.
sterilization cannot be told from the
fresh-laid egg when it is used.
The process was discovered in
1908 by F. Lescarde, French en-
gineer. who. at he International
Congress of Refrigerating Engineers
held in Paris that year told Ct his
discovery. In 1910 they met in Wen
ma. and further reports We're made
by him on the success of the pro
cess. The International congress was
held last year in Chicago, when more
proof of it's success was made
known.
The trays and cases in which the
eggs are handled for sterilization can
be, and are, made any size. The
eggs are frs of all sterilized by
being subjected to the action Cf
carbonic acid and nitrogen gases.
This kills all the bacilli. They are
hen packed in cases in which is
sterilized air. and these cases are
Theoretically sealed.
The eggs can then be kept for at
least ten months-the longest period
yet tried Hot-Weather eggs could
not be kept even by refrigeration,
because of the amount of moisture
BY the sterilization process the h7t-
Wea her egg can be kept as readily
S the winter or spring egg.

recently for dabbling II stocks.
The general view seemed to be that
members of the royal family. having

take advantage of it. The late
King Edward did the same thing,
but he was a popular monarch

The queen invested in consols AMI

Illinois. by which mothers at the
head of INDECENT families are given

of the United States Charities of

Since the passing of the law, =
says the report, families having
members and connections with re
sources that would tide them over
emergencies, decline to use them
and mistakenly claim their share of
state aid. thus weakening the moral
fiber and making it difficult for

The report states that desertion
of their families by husbands has
increased alarmingly.
