Infertile Eggs Will Not Make
 Blood Rings.

Produce infertile eggs because the infertile germ will not produce a blood ring and, consequently, an in fertile egg will not spoil as quickly as one that is fertile. Cook, can, or pen your roosters as soon as the matching season is over. Farmers are urged to follow the following simple rules which will cost nothing but time and thought and will add a great deal to the profits from the poultry:
 1. Provide plenty of clean nests; have one nest for every four hens and keep the straw clean.
 ?. Gather the eggs twice daily dur ing warm or rainy weather.
 8. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry place and market them not less than twice a week during hot weather.
 4. Dispose of the roosters as soon as the matching season is over; pro duce infertile eggs.
 5. Preserve eggs for the family for winter use the same day they are laid; remember, only clean (not washed), fresh. uncracked eggs can be preserved.

THOUSANDS LOST
 IN ROTTEN EGGS
Produce Infertae Eogs-Inerease the Food Supply and Farm
 Profits.
Extension Division University Of Ark
 ansas, Fayetteville.

Extension Division University Of Ark
 ansas, Fayetteville.
 Arkansas farmers lose thousands Of dollars every summer because the eggs from the focks spoil before being marketed. The greater part of this loss is due to a partial matching of fertile eggs which have been allowed to become warm enough to begin to incubate Produce infertile eggs and thus help 10 increase the food supply in the state and your farm profits. Infertile eggs keep best and market best in summer. while fertile eggs spoil quickly during hot weather.
 Boosters Do Not Help the Hens Lay.
 Remember the rooster does not help the hens lay, but he merely fer tllizes the germ of the egg, which is unnecessary if the eggs are not to be used for matching purposes. The fer tile germ in hot weather quickly he comes a blood ring which spells the egg for food and for the market. Sum mer heat has the same effect on fer tile eggs as the hen or incubator.

Later in the week the News re quested Mr. Riggs to make further statement of the situation and in reply the following letter was re ceived, setting forth fully the posi- tion of the Commission and the status of the men involved.
 Nenana, Alaska, July II, 1917. Editor Nenana News,
 Nenana, Alaska,
 Dear Sir
 Tn response to your request I am making the following statement re garding the recent strike situation; 1st.-It is absolutely impossible to make a new wage schedule for the Fairbanks district which is far in excess of the schedule in force on the Coast end of the Road. Owing in the Interior of Alaska the Chair man of the Alaskan Engineering Interior have approved a scale for certain classes of employees of the Fairbanks division approximating an increase of 10 per cent. The charge for subsistence at the mess house is s1.25 per day both here and on the

COMMISSIONER RIGGS
 MAKES ISSUE CLEAR

! ln all lnIOTludi dQuTeSS uellNeIeu on Tuesday before the largest audi ence ever assembled in the town of of the Alaskan Engineering com mission, explained the attitude of the commission on the existing labor trouble and made it clear that it would be impossible for him or the other members of the commission to grant the increase in wages demand ed by the steel gang and those other workers who have become affiliated with the recently-organized labor union.
 Mr. Riggs had been invited to address the union meeting, called 1 for that purpose on Tuesday, but when he appeared at the hall the members voted, on suggestion of the chairman, that the invitation be withdrawn. Those who desired to hear the commissions side of the question then arranged meeting at the Coliseum, which was kindly offered for that purpose by the own CTS, with the result that the theatcr was packed to the doors within a few minutes of the time of the an- nouncement.
 MT. Riggs stated that he had no objection to the formation of a union among the local workers but he could not offer any encourage ment to the belief, entertained by ceretain of the men, that organiza- tion would enable them to secure an advance in wages. Tt is not within the power of the Alaskan Engineering commission" said MT. Riggs, "'to alter the wage scale, The schedule, generally, is five cents per hour higher than that paid on the coast end of the road, and the charge for board is the same. The coast schedule is one approved by a 'commttee working with the approv- al of MT. Samuel Gompers &nd the Secretary of Labor. The schedule is also approved by the Secretary of the Interior ~= -".
 Mr. Riggs read a telegram which he had received from MT. Edes. chairman of the Commission, as follows: 'If strikers are interfering with railroad work you will be pre- |pared to stop all work within your division
 It is thus made clear that the work would be abandoned on the Interior end in the event of serious labor trouble, and rails laid from the coast end. What effect such action would have on the Interior country it was not necessary for the speaker to point out. And it was equally apparent to those present
 Ut further efforts on the part of the men to secure an advance would be without avail.
 MT. Riggs stated further that he already had stopped the shipment of quantity of supplies and con- struction material, pending a set clement of the question. If the work is suspended entirely, these shipments will be diverted to Sew ard and Anchorage, and all work thenceforth will be done from the coast end.
 United States Attorney R. F. Roth also addressed the meeting, making llt plain to those present that h1s department is fully resolved to put a stop to the pro-German agitation which has been in evidence here and elsewhere in the Interior dur ing the past several months, and which appears to have as its object the embarrassment of government anternriSaS fEnemy aliens' he
