Republicans for Wilson.

! Every straw vote for president
Republicans in the West re-
iyeals at a considerable distance from
the bottom the name of Woodrow Will
son. If the choice were between Mr..
Wilson and any n of the Republic
ans, there is reason to believe that the
vote Tor the Democrat would be very
much larger. We have in this situa-
ton an epitome of the problem that
confronts the opposition to the adj
administration. First, there is the diff
ticulty of uniting upon any n candi-
date. Secondly, is the certainty that
there are plenty Of Woodrow Wilson

per cent, including cracked, mashed
and leaking eggs. ?%zIGas
Approximately one egg in two cases
gets mashed or becomes q leaker on
the railroad trip. But when eggs are
shipped in less than cur lots, the trans
it damage is generally multiplied many
times. The total damage from all
landings of eggs between the hen and
the consumer, investigations show, is
certainly not less than ten per cent,
and may be ever greater. The ten
eggs out of 100 that are damaged con-
sist of about eight eggs which are low
cred in value by cracking and about
two eggs which are a total loss.
The following rules for shippers, if
practiced, will prevent cracks:
() Use only new, strong, standard
egg cases, having five, OIL better, six,
three-penny, cement-coated nails at
each joint. See that the partition is
exactly in the center.
(2) Use medium" "three-pound."
or mo. l" filters and flats. The
"three-pound" filler gives general sat
isfaction. Be sure that they are new,
and that the tips are not bent or soft
ened. At least five times as many
eggs break in filters that have been
used us when they are new and firm.
(3) Never fail to put excelsior,
cork shavingS, or the little quarter
filler in the bottom of the case so
that the eggs will have IN even cushion
under them and he sure to spread eX-
celsior evenly and plentifully over the
top fiat. or put in IL corrugated board
i'm place of the excelsior. The top lay
er has generally twice as many eggs
broken in transit as has any other lay
er in the case.
(4) Be sure the lid is put on the
case so that it fits and is on straight.
In mailing the lid down see that the
~three-penny, cement-coated nails all
take hold and go Squarely into the
wood. Use six of them at each end.

Oklahoma Warden Recommends Em-
pIoyment Bureau: Gives 1t Trial.

Granite Ok Dec 2S.-Boone Will
liams, warden Of the Oklahoma state
reformatory here has included in his
annual report to the state board of
affairs defined plan for the organi-
zation of society to aid discharged
prisoners and criminal delinquents
thruout Oklahoma. The purpose of
the organization, according to Mr..
Williams. will be to open an office at
Oklahoma CITY. which will receive
lists of those to be discharged few
weeks in advance and to procure for
them positions; TO aid them when they
are i'll or dependent and such other
financial aid as the board of direc-
tors of the society would deem advis
able.
A number of citizens of the state,
according 70 Mr., Williams. have signi-
fed their willingness to contribute
sums ranging from $25 to S100 each
If the socie.y proves a success, an
annual appropriation would be asked
of the legislature to maintain the or
ganiza- ion.
Mr.. Williams says "The one which
we propose for Oklahoma would in
some particulars be more modern and
progressive thar any now in exist
ence.
1T would be the purpose of the
society to visit iails and workhouses
of the state TO propose plans for more
modern metho Is of operating them,
to aid misdemeanor derelicts as well
as the felony prisoners. and to keep a
statistical department and visitation
system that would differ somewhat
from any similar institution"

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-Wheat swung down
ward in value today chiefly owing to sym
pathy with declines in the New York stock
market. There were also authoritative as
sertions that estimates of very large export
business had been exaggerated. On the
other hand. foreign demand appeared to be
continuing and it was said that country
elevator stocks in the northwest were only
one quarter of last years total tt this time.
Opening prices, which ranged from * to
csc lower with May at $1.T1 to $1.721a and
July at $1-40, were followed by moderate
rally, but then a fresh decline.
Lack of buying power was evident in the
corn crowd. Pit spectators dominated the
market mostly on the selling side. After
opening 12c to q "a &c lower, prices recover

merely reflected the course of other cereals.
