IVORY CARVER TAKES
 TRIP TO THE SOUTH

After several years in Douglas. Hal lie Heacock left on the Hum boldt for visit to the States. AL though perhaps well enough known To- cally but few people have associated Mir. Heacock with a large part of the finer ivory carvings which are seen in the shops on both sides of the channel
 Several years ago, while still a boy, Hallie Heacock earned a reputation among the students of the high school in Spokane Washington. for his abn- ity in drawing One summer, as far back as 1903, he took a trip to Al. aska and among the trophies which he brought back with him was an un. polished walrus tusk Not long after that a serious illness confined him to his room for months and it was during his convalescence at that time that Mir. Heacock became interested In ivory carving
 Several friends urged him at that time to develop his talent and as the result he has become perhaps one of the best fworkmen in this material known on the Pacific coast. About five years ago Mir. Heacock returned to Douglas. where he has made bis home ever since. and in a little work shop equipped with but few tools, this Ivory carver of Douglas" has piled his trade. Not only does he picture in his carvings scenes characteristic oi Alaska. but has done as well several carvings of the cameo type which have won special commendation.

fOurriding

ed him.

and incidents described had no ref
erence TO the plaintiff and were en-
tirely imaginary. Satisfied with this

ORGANIZING FOR
CAMPAIGN ON EGG
STATE DAIRY COMMISSION ISSUES
WARNING As TO HANDLING
OF PRODUCT.

The following egg bulletin has
been issued by the Iowa Dairy and
Food commission:
AS the summer temperatures which
are now prevailing in Iowa increase,
I additional care must be used In the
handling Of eggs to insure their reach

| ton.
State Dairy and Food Commissioners
W. B. Barney Is now organizing his
forces for an active egg campaign
with a view of insuring the consumer
twelve clean, sweet eggs in each doz-
en- purchased.
Last year as a result of the active
campaign carried on by the commits
sioner, Iowa egges reached the market
in far better condition than in pre-
vious years. Iowa eggs We're known
as good eggs and brought premium
on the Chicago market. 1t is the hope
at the department that this years
quality will be even better than that
| of last years and that an even better
price will be commanded by them.
A study of market conditions shows
! that when the city housewife begins
to receive eggs of poor quality at the
store the consumption of eggs de-
creases and the price paid for them
falls lower in proportion.
The following is taken from the
egg Warning of the Dairy and Food
commissioner:
1.-THE Iowa pure food law section

adulterated and prohibits it's sale, If
