ers find that the eggs will not hatch,
they take them out and send them to
market along with fresh eggs.
After the eggs have been in the In
cubator for this period they are dis
tinctly stale and rot very quickly. Even
when Just taken from the incubator
such infertile eggs are not nj for boil
ing or poachinE. These eggs when
they reach the market. however, are
classified as low grade No. 2
The mixing OF incubator eggs with
the fresh spring eggs leads the egg
packers. vino get their principal cold
storage supply in the spring. TO cut
the price they pay the farmer. United
States department OF agriculture in
vestigators find. Spring eggs designed
for keeping for winter consumption
must be absolutely good. Moreover.
the egg packers in the spring do not
candle eggs. but hold them three at
a time in the hand and clink them TO
discover any crack and then judge
their freshness by their fresh, pow
derry look on the shell.
The mixture OF infertile incubator
eggs with fresh eggs interferes ser
iously with this clinking and forces
the packer to candle the eggs. He
then deducts this added expense from
the price he offers to the producer.
Eggs which have once been subjected
TO the heat OF the incubator cannot be
stored. even though frozen.
Farmers who sell incubator eggs to
the dealer. therefore. are very liable to
injure their own market for fresh
eggs. When dealers find a percentage
OF low-grade incubator or other eggs
in the fresh spring egg supply. they
lower the price for all eggs so that
they will be certain that they have
themselves against losses
from this cause. The department OF
agriculture specialists advise farmers
to use any infcrtile eggs they may
take from their incubators for home /
and to send only fresh |
eggs TO market.

II Judge G. Dayton of the United
States court for the northern district
OF West Virginia is correctly quoted
in the newspapers. he belongs to the
very dangerous type of judges who are
content to base judicial action on per
sonal prejudice or on uninvestigated
statements from one side in interest.
He is credited with having made
on April s. in charging the federal
grand jury. the following statement:
The Associated Press is the largest
and most influential news agency In
the world This gigantic monopoly is
selling the news TO thousands of news
papers. and this service. instead of be-
ing news in a fair and impartial man.

selfish purposes"
II Judge Dayton had made even
casual inquiry he would have found
the Associated Press not only does not
sell news. but is not permitted by its
charter TO do so. or TO make any profit
from conduct of its business.
II is permitted only to collect for
and distribute to it's own members
the news of the world. and to apportion
the expenses incurred to those mem
bers on an agreed assessment plan.
The same casual inquiry would
have convinced him that the news re-
port of the Associated Press, because
OF its method of organization. cannot
be used ito serve personal and selfish
purposes and must necessarily be as
fair and impartial as is possible to OBJ
tain under human conditions.
The Associated Press is composed
OF over 500 members. representing the
most diverse opinions and interests in
all matters handled by the report, each

workers. He threw the first shovelful

used in the building OF the Lincoln

travelled I34 miles. over the route OF
the same highway in an automobile,
making more than a score OF stops to

necessary for a beginning and to at

actual work was accomplished in the
state yesterday and interest was
aroused which will bring nearer the
day when the people will be ready 20

road construction possible.

I'm the meantime our engagement is

Dick babe her a very formal farewell
and went away. He did not offer to
replace the ring on her finger, and aft
er he had departed Pauline cried a
little in her lace handkerchief, and
then. because she was rather a spoiled
child. she decided to forget about Dick.
Dick felt a strange sense of freedom
as he sailed toward the southland
where Jim Hard had told him the dia-
mond was buried.

had whispered feebly. in tue city of

So Jim Hard passed away with his

Dayton and the Associated Press

I and prompt TO complain IL. through the
carelessness or disloyalty of an en-
ploye. they are.
And to enforce impartial handling of
the news, each member has the bene-
fit of his own full vote. the machinery
of his circuit. the advisory board of his
division and the power OF the directors,
one or more of whom come from his
division.
The news report of the Associated
Press is fair and impartial because it
is to the interest OF every member to
have 1t so. and because the member
ship has the power and the organiza-
ton to make IL so.
All other large news agencies are
private ventures, run by their owners
for profit and with no responsibility
to their customers as to the character
of news furnished
This plain statement of facts suf-
ficiently indicates why the Associated
Press report is always looked to for
accuracy in important matters, and why
most newspaper publishers prefer it.
1t also suggests a cause for the very
bitter attacks made upon the Associat-
ed Press by and through the agency of
newspapers which have not been adj
mitted to membership and cannot
therefore secure its news until after
publication by others.
1t will be a sorry day for the free
institutions of this country when a gen.
eral news agency conducted on the
lines of the Associated Press ceases to
exist and the public is forced to base
its OniniOn If all imDOrtant matters
entirely on the news reports prepared
by private interests.
II Judge Dayton is a good citizen he
will recognize the force OF this sug-
gestion and cease to use his position to
denounce the Associated Press until
he learns something of the facts.

0NcE upon a time. a most un-
unusual thing happened in
fairyland.
The fairy queen forgot to lock up
her paintsl
Usually she was very careful about
her precious paints but this one
time she was so tired she forgot
them and just climbed into her flow
er bed and went to sleep.
Now il just happened that some
Of the fairies of her kingdom had
always wanted to paint with her
paints-but she never would let them.
When they asked to use them she
always laughed and said. IF ever
leave them around carelessly you
may paint all you wish"
OF course, that made the fairies
feel very disappointed. for they were
quite sure she would never leave her
paints around carelessly, and SO they
could never paint
But now this night when they tip
toed up to wish the Queen sweet
dreams, what do you suppose they
saw?
The magic paints dropped heed
lessly on the ground and the Queen
fast asleep in her flower above themi
You may be sure it didn't take the
fairies long to pick up all the paints
and brushes and scurry off into the
twilight where there was less danger
OF waking the Queen.
When they had gone a safe dis
lance the biggest fairy said. what
shall we paint? i can't think of any
thing that needs painting"
oh, ! can" said another. 81 can
think of lots of things I'd like to
change"
, We'll, you can't change a lot of
things" said another fairy who was
poking around TO see how much
paint the Queen left because there
isn't a lot OF paint herep
"I'll tell you what let's do" said a
little fairy who had been thinking
very hard. I'm so tired of seeing
those old green apples in the tree
over there. Let's each take as much
paint as we can and climb up IN
he tree and paint those apples"

THE MOVIES" AND THE
EYES.

The injurious effect on the eyes OF
the swiftly moving images OF the cine
matograph has been frequently dis
cussed. Il has been shown that a
number OF disorders of the eyes are
caused by this form of entertainment.
In Massachusetts a five-minutes inter
mission IS required between reels so
as to lessen the eye-strain. One OF
the factors in cinematograph exhibit
tons which favors the development
OF eye-fatisue is poor definition of the
original negatives. This is greatly
accentuated when the positives which
are used are enormously magnified.
The smaller the image in the eye, the
longer the impression lasts and the
more the eyes are tired, so that seats
nearer the screen are less desirable
than those more remote. There is
less eye fatigue when sitting not closer
than so feet from the screen.
That the movies are a prolific
source OF eye-strain must have been
recognized by many oculists. yet, with
few exceptions. the attention OF the
public has not been directed to this
important fact. while the victims
themselves seldom suspect the cause
OF their trouble. although many of
them suffer from an increase OF symp-
toms even while witnessing the pic
lures. These symptoms usually con-
sist of headache. vertigo, nausea and
fatigue of the eyes. followed later by
sleeplessness and lack of
energy. Physicians and public health
officials have only recently realized
the important part the picture theatres
play in the welfare OF the community
from a health standpoint. Many the
atre buildings are remodeled store
rooms with no facilities for ventilation.
The air is breathed over and over and
plenty OF opportunity is afforded for
contact between infected and nonin- |
'ected. thereby facilitating the distri- I
button OF infectious diseases. In the
United States there are over twenty /
i've thousand moving picture theatres I
II which there is an average attend |
lnce OF over fifteen million specta-
ors. This variety OF eye-fatigue may |
