EDISON ONCE WORKED IN
BOSTON AS A TELEGRAPFiER.

Edison in 1868, found job as railroad
telegraph operator at the Grand Trunk
station of Stratford Junction, Canada.
Here also his experiments landed him in
trouble. Night operators had to tap the
word "six" every hour to the superin-
tendent to make sure they had not gone
to sleep. Edison promptly invented a
continuance which clicked off the re-
quired signal every hour, so that he could
enjoy snoozes in comfort! One night
train was allowed to pass, and as another
train was coming from the opposite di
rectiOn on the same track, Edison, hav-
ing frantically but vainly tried to send
the engine driver warning, promptly
bolted for the border. For the following
five years he was a roaming telegraph
operator Drifting to Boston he invented
a stock ticker and established small
stock quotation business and also intro
duced method of telegraphing between
business concerns, a method so simple
that any one could understand and work
it. But business became bad and, decid-
ing to leave Boston for New York, he had
to let his books, instruments, ETC., re-
main as security for debts Arriving in
New York he had not a cent with which
to buy food. Seeing tea-taster at work,
he begged him for some tea, and this
formed his first breakfast in New York.
Three days later Edison was sitting in
the offices of the Gold & Stock Telegraph
Company watching the gold ticker at
in gold was then at
fever pitch. Suddenly scores of boys
rushed into the place excitedly explain
ing that the ticker in their employers
Offices had stopped working. DR.. Laws,
head of the concern, also arrived breath
less The apparatus had broken down.
Edison calmly told Laws that he thought
he could fix it and proceeded to do so.
The grateful and astonished doctor asked
the stranger his name, and next day sub
jected him to a quizzing-bee and put him
in charge of the whole business at sal
airy of $500 month. When the hungry,
penniless, out-of- work operator heard the
amount he was to receive he nearly faint

FOR FlETcnsR;S
or SToR
May Post Our Men Where French and
British Meet.

WASHINGTON, June a. American
expeditionary forces on the French firing
line may occupy a position between the
British and French. 1t is estimated that
the American expedition at first will oc-
cupy only about four miles of trenches.
1t has been reported that the British
and French lines Join near St. Quentin,
one of the objectives of the allied attacks.
If the American troops are placed as
above indicated they might be the first to
enter st. Quentin when that stronghold
is taken.
From official sources it became known
to-day that the French mission to this
country had recommended such position
of Pershing's troops.
In official quarters it was pointed out
that the American forces would neces-
sarily be placed in such position as to
insure an Independent line of communica-
ton and supply. To break into the French
or British sectors with the American
forces would entail confusion in supply
lines.

A prominent member of the financial
district, who has had many ups and
downs-flnancially- has been In
dependently rich on several different
occasions and who has as frequently
been in the place where he did not
know where next months rent might
come from, states uneQuivocally that
credit is mans best capital"
He says that credit is something that
may be invested and used to great ad-
vantage In business, but should not be
squandered, lived on or worn away.
"a mans credit may outlast a dozen
fortunes and enable him to succeed on
another attempt" he AYERS, and states
further that he has recently written
something to the effect that it is useless
and foolish to advise men to keep out
Of debt. Useless, because men who are
not SO constituted cannot keep out Of
debt, and foolish because the great ma
Jority Of men cannot do business with
out credit.
ITO use ones credit In business may
be wise and profitable investment,
but to live on credit and thus wear it
away is always dangerous. A man
should live Oh what he earns and invest
his credit only after careful investiga-
ton, and when his best judgment con-
vinces him that It will be safe and

1t is hard to estimate now the import
ance of the weapon which has been
placed in the Presidents hand in the
shape of this embargo clause. 1t may
ultimately bring one or more of the
European neutrals into the Allied ranks
and thus change the whole aspect of the
war. 1t will assuredly not be used to
coerce the neutrals; but it will certainly
be used to protect fully the interests of
this country and it's allies; and some of
the neutrals may find that this use of it
leaves them no choice save to throw in
their lot with the countries arrayed
against Germany. How important an in
fluence this might have upon the whole
war begins to dawn upon the mind when
one considers, for instance, that the en-
tire naval and submarine situation would
be revolutionized if the Allied and Ameri-
can fleets could establish bases on the
Norwegian coast.

WET OR WASHED EGGS.
They Spoil Easily and Cause an Ener.
nous and Needless Loss.

They Spoil Easily and Cause an Ener-
NOUS and Needless Loss.
Eggs are needlessly spoiled every year
by washing and wetting. Approximate
~ 100000 dozen eggs spoil every year
because some one has let clean eggs
get wet or has washed dirty eggs be-
fore sending them to market, according
to the specialists Of the United States
department Of agriculture. Careful i'll
vestigation Of large quantities Of stored
eggs show that from II to % per cent
Of washed eggs become worthless in
storage, whereas only to per cent Of
dirty eggs stored unwashed spoil. The
explanation is simple.
Water removes from the shell Of the
egg gelatinous covering which helps
keep air and germs out of the inside Of
the egg Once the covering is removed
by washing or rain which gets to eggs
in the nest, germs and mold have ready
access to the contents and spoil the
eggs.
The enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented If producers
and egg handlers. especially during
March, April and May, refrain from
washing eggs destined for the storage
markets and take pains to reduce the
number of dirty eggs by providing
plenty of clean, sheltered nests for
their hens.
In view of this great loss of valuable
food the department urges country
storekeepers and hucksters not to &C.
cept washed eggs for shipment in case
lots. Shiny eggs, especially in the early
spring, probably have been washed. All
washed eggs purchased should be sold
locally for immediate consumption.
