Starting a PsrCeI.POst Market for Eggs

There are in our cities and towns
many hou1t wives who would be glad 10
make arrangements for reccivsng
supply oil fresh eggs direct from the
farm throughout the year, Just at
this time, when eggs are scarce and
the demand far exceeds the supply Of
newly laid eggs, there is a good op
portunity for the farmer, even though
he has but few eggs to market, 20
make contract with scme city or town
family to supply them with eggs.
The farmers supply at present time
will not be great enough, possibly, to
satisfy the demand OF the city family,
but il the matter is explained it will
be easy to make arrangements to
market eggs by parcel post now and
continue to do so hroughout the year.
In other words it will be much
easier to make arrangem ,nts to ship
eggs nov, when everybody wants
them than to do so in the spring:
when they are in abundant supply and
when the housewife can secure good
fresh eggs in the msrke, anywhere AZ

Gasoline From Natural Gas

The extraction Of Gasoline from
casing head gas (natural gas from oil
wells has become one Of the important
adjuncts Of the natural-gas industry
in the United States. The production
is increasing rapidly, the quautity
produced in 1918 having almost
double that Of 1912, owing to the in
stalation Of greater number OF plants
and to the advance in the price Of gas
line.
The uses Of natural gas gasoline are
many and varied. II is principally
used for raising the standard Of napthas
or low-gradc distillates consumed in
motors; it is also used for lighting;
and it can be used like regular gas

ever-increasing demand for this gas to

Tells How to Cure and Prevent a Cold

Common cold-iG the head, and it's
very common at this time Of the year,
is a comunicble disease. Jus, what
causes cold, how to prevent it and
how 10 cure it are subjects that a
member Of the School OF Medicine Of
the University Of Missouri takes up
briefly.
Primarily the disease affects the
sensitive lining Of the nose, causing
inflammation. There is no special germ
that causes the cold, but there are
several that may cause one. The
discharges from the nose throat and
mouth, and the exhala,ion from the
lungs Of a person with a cold may
contain the infectious agent.

Wsstsful Methods Of Congress

Congress richly deserves the scold'
ing that appears in the conclusion Of
the 78,00O'word annual report Of Sec
retary Redfeld OF the Department Of
Commerce. Mr.. Redfeld points out
that the total OF appropriations for
department is no measure Of economy.
The chief question is how the money
is spent. The prevailing method Of
making appropriations tends to in
efficiency and waste. Congress will
invest millions in a plant" at one
session and at subsequent sessions
starve it until il Is useless. He gives
concrete Illustrations where Congress
has provided that the most expensive
machinery shall be used for but part
Of year. The Coast and Geodetic
Survey steamers, for example, lay idle
a great part Of the last fiscal year, not
withstandiDg urgent need for work,
solely because OF a deficient appropri-
alton. With few exceptions, govern
mental departments must suspend op-
erations whenever the specific appro-
priations are exhausted. That Con-
gress cannot always loresee needs is
not surprising, but 10 many cases a
half time" policy is deliberately
adopted. During the last Congress
work oIt.n had to be suspended be-
cause the appropriations we're not made
prior to the close Of the fiscal year.
No commercial business could follow
such a course and live.
Mr.. Redfeld does not deal with the
causes for congressional delays. He
merely points out how much valuable
time was lost in certain kinds Of work
which could be done only at the proper
season, through uncertainty as TO
whether Congress would make a spe-
cifc appropriation FOX such purposes.
The construction Of fish hatcheries
had TO be suspended, the laboratory
at Beaufort, N. c., had to be closed
at the busiest season, the Bureau OF
Fisheries could not send field parties
out till month after the normal start
ing time, and the service OF college
professors in various laboratories, dur
ing vacation, could not be utilized.
The commissioner Of lighthouse ser
vice, the director OF the Bureau OF
Standards and the commissioner OF
navigation all complain Of inconven-
ience, delay, crewding Of work, and
other losses OF efficiency through the
failure Of the appropriation bill to pass
before the fiscal year began.
While Mr.. Redfeld restricts himself
to pointing out defects, his report
should strengthen the hands Of the
men who have demanded a budget
system. Appropriations should not be
controlled by whim, usually resulting
in excuses OF extravagance or parsi-
mony. One Of the greatest causes
for delay is the vicious practice Of in
cluding new legislation in appropria-
ton bills as riders" Under proper
budget system appropriations would
follow definite plan, covering a period
Of years, and the bills, il unincum.
bered with legislative provisions,
could be passed speedily. The pres
ent system is wasteful and inefFicient.
Congress might we'll give private busi'
ness a breathing spell and devote its

How to Get the Money

A difficult revenue problem still
conironts the government in spite OF
the passage Of a war tax bill estimated
to raise Sl00.0O0,000 annually
There are many possibilities that the
actual receipts will fall considerably
short Of the estimates. Should busi-
ness conditions continue as slack as
they have been and still are, revenues
from this source would be murh less
than anticipated. Such tax is most
productive only whan the commercial
and financial activities OF country
are the most pronounced. 1t is pos
sible to expect a considerable improve

Germans from the Whittekind S. S. al
Newport

Accompanied by a transportation
manager of the B. & M. railroad a
train of seven cars. containing the 800
Storage passengers of the North Ger
man Lloyd liner. Whittekind. arrived
in Newport from Boston over the B. &
NJ. at 6.35 a. M, Tuesday morning
The Whittekind left Rotterdam, bound
for Montreal, on July 27 before war
between Germany and Great Britain
had been declared, but on the night of
Aug. was advised of the war and
cautioned against capture by Brit
ish cruisers. The saloon passengers,
eighteen in number, were notified the
next morning but the steerage passen-
gers, who were nearly all bound from
Montreal to the Canadian northwest,
were not told of their danger. Every
precaution was taken by the German
captain to save his boat from capture
and by painting the stacks like those
of an American liner and showing the
American flag, she escaped detection.
Of course, however, she could not land
as planned at Montreal, without be-
coming at once prize of war. She
secuted the Maine coast and at last
arrived Sunday afternoon off Boston
and was tied up later at Mystic wharf.
Her steerage passengers were natural
ly anxious to reach Montreal, and
Boston was most willing they should.
Therefore, six coaches and baggage
car were brought to Mystic wharf and
Monday the passengers came aboard
the train from the boat. 1t took all
day to accomplish the task as there
were few who spoke English and
lack of interpreters. The train left
Boston at 9.45 p. M, and arrived at
Newport where the B. & NJ. transpor-
tation agent turned it over to the G. P.
men at a. M, Tuesday morning. In
a personal interview with the trans
portation agent Tuesday morning he
stated that most of the passengers
were Germans, many of whom had
already lived in the Canadian north
west and were returning again, while
others were going there to obtain
work Whether the Canadian author
tiles would admit them across the
border or not, he was not prepared to
answer, but said that he felt greatly
relieved when the G. P. railway took
over the train, and he was free from
any further obligations in the matter
and was returning to Boston on the
train leaving Newport at $40. There
is considerable agitation in the Pro-
vinces just now over the attempt to
destroy the railway bridge at Quebec
by German sympathizers and there is
some question as to whether the Cana
dian government will permit almost
300 Germans to enter Canada at this
time.

Literature was poor bread winner

There is fortune in the pen if

right mind is behind it.
Literature is an uncertain field, but
it is one rich with opportunity,
field which does not discriminate
against sex. Fortunes have been made
and fortunes will continue to be made
by the fortunate writer of plays,
poetry or ordinary fiction.
