BROKEN EGGS.

New York investigation of the egg trade brought
out from witness testimony that the breakage Of eggs

This wastage of nearly 30 per cent In what other
industry is there waste to any such extent as this?
We have been carefully cutiyating efficiency in the

preciaon through adding the necessity Of regrad-

Eggs of course are the most fragile sort Of food stuff
Since Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall they have been
held universally to typfy the extreme of flagbiy.
There bound to be loss But at the time this ratio
of waste seems out Of all proportion to necessity

to a large degree,
But once again the lack Of foresight and of the

against the working of this plan
The average American would rather order his egg

though it may have been in storage for months than to
have fixed arrangement to get it every day fresh from

chronic pessmists to thinking.
Back of the secretarys cheering words fig
ures that hard to meet with waing Since last Au-
gust at the outbreak Of the war; when the monthly trade
balance of the nation showed deficit Of nearly twenty
millions through excess Of imports exports the situ-
alton has been completely changed For the month Of De-
cember it is estimated that the excess Of exports i'm
ports will reach hundred millions or more. For the
month Of November the excess in value Of exports
from this country the value Of imports nearly
eighty millions Between this amount and the estimated
amount for December may be something of the gain
in American business.

Secretary Redfied declared has been paid in goods and

Code, pertaining to false and mislead-

forwarded to Attorney General Linde

it is believed will result in prosecution

OLD SW|NDLE
BEING WORKED

Paris, Sept. 13.-The time worn
swindle of the traveller detained in in
accessible regions and needing some
of the family money to get himself
out, is being played in a modified
form on the families of the soldiers.
French papers published lists with the
home addresses of French soldiers
held prisoner in some of the German
camps. These names and addresses
were used by a band of swindlers op-
Grating from the Saint Sebastian and
other Spanish towns who picked out
families in easy circumstances and
wrote them letters similar to one re.
ceived by the mother of a soldier who
was wounded near Arras in October
last and reported missing.
II write you in behalf Of your son."
the letter ran, "who with the aid of
myself and some comrades, Spanish
journalists, succeeded in escaping
from the German prison camp at
Darmstadt. After many viclssltudes
we got him safely into Spain but he
is still in grave danger. AS you know
Spain, on account Of its strict neutral
ity, is bound to send back to Germany
any prisoners escaping from there to
this country. Your sons right arm
and hand are healing slowly and he
will soon be able to continue his
journey, but he is entirely without
funds. It will require 1000 francs te
enable him to get to Portugal, from
where he will easily find passage fol-
France"
The letter, signed Sonora Eulolis
Noguera, and asking for the utmos'
discretion, was turned over to the
French consul at Saint Sebastian ant
he exposed the trick.

NORWAY LOSER
IN GREAT WAR

Washington, Sept. 10.-Forty-fve
ships flying the Norwegian flag have
been lost since the beginning of the
wal in Europe and 76 sailors have
persisted, according to a report re-
ceived at the state department from
the American minister at Christiania.
Thirteen ships were destroyed by
mines, "a sunk by torpedoes,
three disappeared in the war zone
and one was crushed by a German
warship, the report stated. Another
ship was taken as a prize to Ham
burg.
The extensive losses have impelled
the Norwegian war risk insurance
bureau to increase premiums and
adopt additional restrictions. The
bureau to date, the report stated, has
sustained losses to $2,600,000, while
premiums collected amounted to Gully
$1,S20,00O.

GOSSIP

Gossip! the very name has a nasty
sound. You'll find her sneaking into
the stores, the school-room the
churches and societies.. You'll find her
masquerading under the name Of
friendship. You'll find her leaning o~-
er the back fence or edging in between
husband and wife. No place is sacred
to her. She blackens the character of
men and women and of innocent girls.
She ruins the careers Of young men.
Suppose a a or woman is not as you
are or as you think they should be.
Do you know you are right? Let
other people think as they believe they
should think, whether it is about pol
itics or religion or morals. Don't
gossip about them. He'll may be
paved with good intentions, but the
supporting pillars are gossipers.

new RECORDS
ESTABLISHED

North Dakota with her great re-
cord crop for the year, will enable the
United States to establish at least six
new records in the way of great pro-
duction in agricultural lines.
Basing the predictions on a canvas
made of September 1 by it's thousands
of agents throughout the United
States, the department Of agriculture
today issued forecasts, showing the
prospects of practically all the princi-
pal farm crops except potatoes and
rice during August. The wheat crop
is placed at 9S1,OoO,000 bushels, ninety
million more than last year.
AS a result of the favorable condi-
lions, the spring wheat production
was increased 100000 bushels to a
total of 100000 bushels. When
the final canvas is made the entire
wheat production probably will reach
one million bushels.
Corn production prospects i~ncreas-
ed 100000 during August, the fore
cast now being 1885, 300, 900 bushels.
The oats forecast is 408,000,O00
bushels, which is 267,000,000 more
than was harvested last year.
A great deal of North Dakota
wheat is now being marketed through
Grand Forks, which is one Of the lead
ing state markets, a total of a million
bushels Of wheat a day is passing
through this city now.
This means that from eight to ten
northumberland trains a day Al haul
ing nothing but wheat-a total Of zoe
to 900 cars.
