PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER
 USE.
Consumers as We'll as Dealer Can
 Keep Eggs.

Eggs are high priced during some months of the year because they are scarce. Every housewife can guard against these high prices if she will preserve eggs when they are plenti- ful and cheap. It is just as easy for the housewife as 1t is for the dealer to preserve eggs.
 "Water Glass" Method.
 The most practical way for the housewife to preserve eggs is by the Water Glass" method. Water Glass" (sodium sjlicate) can be bought at any drug store. It is a sy- rupy liquid and should always be used in the proportion of one part of water glass to nine parts of cool water which has been boiled. By using these proportions eggs can be preserved in any jar or crock filled with the solu- ton and they will keep several months If stored in cool cellar or room where the air is fresh.
 Selecting the Eggs To Be Preserved.
 Eggs should be preserved by being puI III liit WdlSl ldSS SOlutlOu lut same day they are laid. They must be clean, but unwashed, and with good shells. Be careful and do not crack them in filling the jar. Since infer tile eggs naturally keep longer and fresher than fertile eggs, 1t is best to use infertile eggs. In filling the jar, be sure to leave about inches of tho solution over the top of the eggs. When filled, cover the jar with heavy paper. This will keep the solution clean and help prevent evaporation. Inspect the jars regular ly and sec that they are kept filled with the solution Do not let enough of the solution evaporate to expose any of the eggs to the air.
 To Use Water Glass Eqqs.
 When ready to use the eggs which have been preserved in water glass, take them from the solution and wash them in cold water. If they are to be boiled, couple of small holes must be pricked in the shell with a needle or the contents may break the shell while boiling.

THOUSANDS LOST
 IN ROTTEN EGGS
Produce InfertiIe Eegs-lncrease 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 thls loss is due to a partial hatchlng or fertile eggs which have been allowed to become warm enough to begin to incubate Produce infertile eggs and thus help to 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.
 InfertiIe 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.
 3. Keep the eggs in cool, dry place and market them not less than twice a week during hot weather.
 f. 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.

Labor questions should be left to labor people, according to Deputy Labor Commissioner Mckinley, who has found a place where advertising did not pay. When Little Rock se- cured the cantonment, in order to al- lay the demands of the government that some action be shown, advertise ments were inserted in Little Rock papers calling for workmen. The re- suit was an influx of labor of all kinds. mostly undesirable. Many of the men came from the west, and among their number were members of the I. w. w. No sooner had these men started to work on the construction of railroad tracks to the Cantonment site than they began to cause trouble. The dis charge of quite 6 number followed and then the fun began. They went among the men and spread the report that all who lived in Little Rock and Ar genta were to be discharged, leaving only those who boarded at the camp and paid the contractor $5J5O week would be retained. This caused the majority of those living in Little Rock and Argenta to quit, but luckily fer the contractor, there were others to take their places.
 The men now working on track and grading work at the cantonment have now formed a sort of union. It is not affiliated with the regular bodies, but has come to an understanding with representatives of the Arkansas Feder- atien of Labor by which future diff ferences will be passed upon by the labor officials before a strike is called. This Wi'l permit of arbitration of any differences without dangers of riot, such as was narrowly averted at the cantonment site.

Litt'e interest is now, being dis played in the Constitutional Conyan- tion, and even those who some months ago were so strongly in it's favor, are now more engrossed in war conditions. What is still more remarkable is the apathy of the candidates for clerical positions in the convention.
 It is thought by many who are in close touch with things political in Arkansas, that the convention will meet and organize and then adjourn to certain date There is no provis- ion in the act calling the convention to prevent adjournment for stated periods and in this manner holding the con- vention over for an indefinite period without action being taken. During these periods of absence, the members will draw nothing, and the only in tent in such a program would ba Jo held the convention over tc more time without requiring an other convention being called.

CAPITAL
 NEWS NOTES
Ginners Must Have License ill Future Il. :. w. w. :. Causes
 Trouble at
 Camp.

Little Rock, July 11.-Four years ago when the new Capitol was com pleted, visitors wondered why all the extra room, and if the building would ever be filled. The answer is there today. Every room on the first three floors has regular occupant, with the rooms on the fourth floor now filled with records and files from the down stairs offices.
 All House and Senate committee rooms are filled. which means that when the Constitutional Convention or the General Assembly convenes, there will be some tall moving CT the com mittees will be forced to meet down town. There are plenty of committee rooms on the fourth floor, but it is hardly possible that a legis !ative body would inconvenience itself enough to climb the stairs when there are mcre convenient rooms which rightfully be- long to it on the same floor as the leg is atiNe hall
 With all this jamb of office room, the Capitol is like big barn, so far as conveniences go, for the elevators are idle, and unless the various de partments chip in an amount sufficient to pay an elevator operator, it will probably continue so.

Practically every ginner in the state of Arkansas must pay a license fee to operate his gin, under the ware house act of the 1917 legislature. The act requires all public ginners to se- cure a state license. and the question as to who were private ginners was placed before Attorney General Ar buckle Tuesday by Commissioner J. II. Page.
 Attorney General Arbuckle on We'd nesday rendered an opinion for the commissioner of agriculture in which he holds that a private g.nner is one who gins only his own cotton. If the gin is on a private plantation where the work is dcne by the day, then it is private gin. If the crop is raised on the shares, or for cash rent, even though it be ginned by the owner of the land, it is a public gin, according to the decision.
