incontrovertible. The proofs of an

she had been placed by her father.
He was surprise, pleased at the way
in which the brave little soul took her

her pure, gentle spirit. He had lost

Wool Prices Will Be Good

The early activities ot the wool buyers, who are now out in Colo rado making contracts for the spring clip, wherever they can, at 25cts per pound, with the prices steadily advancing on all fed sheep, naturally makes the flock masters and sheep feeders feel good.
 This naturally stimulates the demand for range sheep, espec- ially ewes. which are in good de- mand now at high prices. Lambs that were sold at Kansas City re- gently at $9.60 weighing 81 lbs. were no better than those sold few years ago at $5. 30.
 It is predicted that before time comes wool will be at 30 cts. per pound. - WinsIow Mall.

New Egg PreserUing Preparation

New Egg PreserDing Preparation The time of year when eggs reach rock bottom is here. Now
 is the time for every farmer to
 look out for his own supply so
 that when eggs are high the
 family needs will not have to be
 punched and all the fresh eggs
 may be marketed at fancy prices.
 Several years ago in Timely
 Hint for Farmers No. T, publish
 ed by the University of Arizona
 Agricultural Experiment Station,
 Dr. A. E. Vinson. Biologist of the
 Station Staff. gave number of
 methods of preserving the sur
 plus supply of spring eggs for
 use the following winter. The
 best method was found to be stor-
 ing them in a 5 per cent solution
 of water glass. although very
 good results were obtained with saturated solutions of slaked lime The chief objection to the water glass method was the difficulty of obtaining water glass at a reason able price. Water glass in liquid from is a very cheap article, worth 2 or 3 cents a pound in large quantities and used extensi- vely in adulterating soap. How eyer, when obtained in small quantities through drug stores it l necessarily becomes quite expen- sive, due to packages, packing and customary trade profits.
 For some time one of the man. ufacturers of water glass has been experimenting on an easily soluble form of dry water glass or silicate of soda. which could be handled in paper cartons, for use in preserving eggs. About a year ago samples of the ma terial were sent to Dr. Vinson, who recognized that the intro duction of this product at a req sonable price would prove boon to the farmers family. if not to hotels and restaurants. This pro- duct has just been placed on the market under the trade name of Goudy's Egg Preserver and pro- Oably can soon be obtained from druggists and poultry dealers in Arizona. The packages are list ed at one dollar each and are ad- 7ertised to make seven gallons ,f solution, or sufficient to pre- Ierve 50 dozen eggs, making the cost 2 cents a dozen. Some diff .ulty will be experienced in find ng suitable receptacles, since at nost places in the southwest, tone jars are prohibitive in price. joint of waterproofed cement 'ipe with plugged bottom sug- .ests itself as possible substi- ute.

lacking a Big Job.

Soberly the country is realizing
its problem of unemployment,
and hopefully it is going about
the treatment Of the problem.
The President in Indianapolis de-
voted time and constructive sug-
gestion to it. simultaneously,
big cities throughout the nation
were considering their local
shares in the problem and in its
solution. Kansas City has taken
official notice of the distress that
the American people are no long
err willing to ignore.
With that great step taken, of
nationwide realization of a re-
curing disease" the cure or
prevention of it may be looked
for. The American people are
competent enough to organize
against the haphazard results OF
casual and seasonable employ
ment, Of overwork in one place
and underworld in another, and OF
other similar causes. Once arous,
ed to..the unhysterical facts in the
case, they will commit themselves
speedily to unhysterical treat

Of unhappy effects. Kansas City

National Highways.

A committee that has been in

question makes this observation

Road work alone offers a most
immediate possibility Of employ,
ment for large forces of unskill.
ed labor. Of the 1925, 600 miles
of highway in the United States
less than one. tenth is improved
a situation in marked contrast to
that in England, France, Ger

national road system has long
been recognized as a government
tai duty. 1t is certainly mill.
tary necessity.
There is a splendid solution Of
the unemployment problem. We
are spending $3.50, 900, 900 a year
on thenavy-o on destructive work.
Why not spend it on those 1925,
600 miles of highway and improve
them? That will not only pay
money to the unemployed, but il
will make the nation stronger and
greater. We want more internal
improvement, and less of the in.

Getting In Jail.

If things keep on as they have
been going for the past few years,
it will be much easier for an
American citizen to go to Jail and
stay there than it will be to keep
out of Jail. Every now and then
some individual or some clique
bobs up with a brand new plan
for turning some of US into crimi-
nails. The number of new ways
for getting a man into Jail is sur
prising. Wisconsin has its ecu
genics" law" which makes it a
felony for a couple to marry with
out undergoing a physical exami-
nation. The Illinois legislature,
1t its present session, will grave
ly consider the passage of a SINH
lar criminal statute. Other states
are being asked to pass laws
making it a felony for a citizen
to have any liquor in his home,
even for medicinal purposes.
One state has a law against dane.
ng the tango. The Indiana anti.
cigarette law never has been re.
pealed, and the state has, as a re.
s4lt, several sew hundred thousand
perfectly good citizens who could
be arrested and sent to Jail any
day. Perhaps the most striking
development of our government
is that the laws are not made by
Ill the people nor by represen
tatives of the people, but by small
cliques highly organized and tire
mendously energized over parti
cular questions. These clique'
are determined to force thei
views upon the whole people
while at the same time othe
cliques are forcing views on othe
questions upon them. The ques
tion is never asked whether thu
supposed offenses against thu
community are as bad as the pen
alties inflicted. There seems t
be in the air a mania to find new
ways of imprisoning American
citizens, and vet, is there any
thing that can be as bad for the
individual or the nation as a mar
in Jail who can possibly be KEEP
out?
