Wordy Argument Over
 Bill to Stamp Eggs

Hartford, Feb. 2f-The agriculture committee was the scene of a wordy encounter between farmers and deal CTS yesterday, on the petition of Rep resentative Ives of Guilford for a bill which would require that every cold storage egg be stamped with words signifying that it is a storage egg on it. Dairy Commissioner F. H. Stadt- mueller favored it, but acknowledged that it is impossible for him now to enforce the law requiring the carton containing storage eggs to be marked to that effect on account of the lack of sufficient help in his department. He said that 15 per cent. of the cold stor- age eggs in the state are not marked. Sixty per cent. are labeled, and 15 per cent. of these sold as fresh.
 Those who opposed the bill, chiefly retail dealers, said it would be inn rracticable to stanoo each egg without breaking, and they threatened that the prices of the food would go up B 1-3 per cent. MT. Stadtmueller ad- vised that a time limit of a year be placed on such a law to give dealers a chance to adjust, themselves to the market conditions.

HEALING RELIEF FOR
 TORTURING ECZEMA,

w. P. Hindle sold hundreds of jars of Hokara, and although he offered to refund the, purchase price to any dissatisfied purchaser, not one jar has been returned.
 While this is surprising in itself, yet the most marvellous thing is the reports of chronic cases of eczema that have been cured by this simple skin food. People who have suffered with scales, scabs and even bleeding itching have found relief in Hokara.
 No matter where the eczema, pim- p1es or other breaking out occurs, whether on the face. hands, legs or body, the application of Hokara should give quick relief, and even the worst or most chronic eases should be cured in short time.
 You can buy a liberal sized jar to- day at the very low price of 35cand with every package goes w. P. Hin dle's guarantee to refund the money if it is not satisfactory.-Adv.

HEALY DECLARES HIMSELF AGAINST
 R. R. RATE BOOST
Commuters Long Suffering, Declares Speaker of the
 House at Hearing.
(Special to The Farmer. }

Hartford, Feb. 21.-Frank B. Healy, speaker of the house of Repre- sentatives, was the leading antagOn- ist of representative of the New Ha- ven road, at hearing before the committee on railroads, yesterday of a bill which Hea1y and others regard ed as a step towards general raise in commutation rates. The measure provides that, the regulation of the commutation rates of the road be vested in the Public Utilities comnis- sion.
 F. c. Co1ey, first assistant passenger agent of the New Haven road, and Attorney w. l.. Barnett, favored the measure for the railroad.
 MT. Healy and Representative Sher- wood of Westport were the warm opponents of the measure.
 MT. Coley frankly admitted tE-. II was the aim of the company to raise the rates of commuters on the Hart ford division, but he said the bill was not for the purpose of a general raise, namely readjustment.
 ''What is the cost of carrying pas senger mile?'' asked Mr.. Healy of Mir >Cofey.
 1T do not know" said MT. Coley.
 "And you are the assistant general passenger agent of the New Haven!' said the speaker of the house.
 MT. Healy lives at Windsor Locks. He lives in the house of his fathers, there, and says he expects to die there therefore the matter of com mutation is of little interest to him. self. But to the hundreds of Hart ford residents as we'll as the resi- dents of other centers of population who have left the cities to take up suburban homes, thus becoming com muters, he said it was a matter of vital importance. To raise commu- tation rates he said would be killing the goose that lays the golden egg for the New Haven road.
 He challenged the roads represen- tatives to produce figures on the cost of carrying passengers, and declared that it could not be shown that any one is being carried at a loss, any where, under the present rates.
 .The commuters are long suffer- ing," declared Speaker Healy. ''I commuted to Hartford four months, last year. The nearest during that entire time, that our train came to be- ing on time was eight minutes, and the furthest from being on time, was one hour and twelve minutes. Then he told of teh overcrowding of the suburban trains at the present time.
 MT. Sherwood said that the impress sion prevailed among persons who had discussed the bill with him that there was more to it than appeared on the surface, and because it was feared there was joker in the measure, he opposed it. The present rates, said he, are based on the actual cost Of carrying passengers.

FOR THE FARMERS OWN GOOD.

Warning has been issued by the
Northern Pacific railroad to the farm.
ers that they must be prepared to meet
n car shortage following harvest time
by providing protection for their crops
on their own farms. This Is wis,
message that should do much to aid
the conservation of food in the produc-
tive parts of the nation.
With the importance of food conser-
walton constantly emphasized by the
Illustrations of terrible sufferings in
Poland and Belgium, and with the
realization that the nation must do ats
most in feeding it's allies in the great
war. the farmers must take heed. II
they fail. disaster is sure to follow our
arms
But not only from patriotic i'm
pulse need the farmers be moved to
heed this warning. The plea Of the
railroad is for the farmers own good.
AS the circular points out, they are
sure to suffer an extremely heavy fl
nancial loss If they do not provide the
necessary protection for the crops.
There will. no doubt, be those who
will think. This loss surely will not
come to me-" They will be the ones
who will fail to heed the warning,
Something will arise and they will be
unable to be among the first to send
their crops to elevator or warehouse
and only the first will be served there
Then, with no protection provided
they will be compelled to see their en-
eyes by the severe weather of late fall
The farmers must all take heed.

Turkish Towels.

Turkey exports more towels than
any other country which is largely
because the average Turk has no use
for a towel himself. When the first
Turk made a towel he couldn't imag-
inc what to do with it so he sold It
to a tourist and In this way the Turk
ish towel industry arose. A Turk has
no patience with a towel. AS soon as
he makes one he wants to have 1t out
of his sight. He doesn't mind Turkish
rugs and he will even smoke a Turk
ish cigaret but a Turkish towel gets
him going. The leading feature OF n
Turkish towel is that you can dry
yourself on both sides which makes
it of special value. Operating a Turk
ish towel is quite a knack and most
people develop their own styles Of play.
\ man can get more vigorous exercise
after morning bath in drying his
back with Turkish towel than in
hustling trunks. The only objection
to Turkish towels as an exercise is
that it doesn't get you out in the open
air.

MISSOURI, THE skuLkER.

There is something disquieting and
unpleasant in the news that an entire
exemption board OF q Missouri county
resigned because its members were
unwilling to take the responsibility Of
determining who should go 10 the war
and who should remain at home.
We may well wish form of punish
ment for these shirkers. AS a matter
of choice, we would like to turn them
over to the Germans in Belgium. 1t Is
possible that even their feeble souls
and shrimp-like minds might be
aroused to at least a sense OF self
protection if they could see what has
happened to the innocent people OF
Belgium.
Unwilling to take responsibility? At
Washington there is the president car
rying q load of responsibility that
staggers ones imagination. In France
there is General Pershing responsible
for the conduct OF the first American
troops ON the battlefields OF Europe.
At home are great, patriotic citizens
who have abandoned business, profess
sions and careers to take responsibility
for feeding and arning the nation.
At the training camps and awaiting
the call are many thousands of young
men whose feeling OF responsibility is
SO great that they are willing and
eager to bare their breasts to the en-
emy's bullets if the life OF our nation
can be saved.
Responsibility? Every man or wom-
an with a spark OF loyalty has it in
these days. 1t is down in Audrain
county. Missouri, that we must look
for the towards and the skulkers
whose official duty calls for deter
mining who shall so to the war and
who shall remain at home.
Poor old Missouri. There are honest
and patriotic men and women in that
state. 1t is an outrage. indeed, that
they should suffer the shame and hui
initiation that must come when the
escutcheon of their commonwealth is
stained by the shirkers of Audrain
county.

THE MORNING SMILE.
Even Good Little Girls.

For long we thought a little maid
Through all the happy daytime played
At skipping rope. at jacks or tea
Or paper-dolls all quietly
And scorned to join for but n while
The FRANKS that little boys beguile,
The climbings of tree or fence
And other rough advertisements.
So thought we till the other day
We watched some little maids at play
With what a romping. shouting din,
Oh. shades of Huckleberry Finn!
Few jacks were here, few paper dolls
These little maids wore overhauls!
Nor did they skip a rope, instead
In turns they leaped from off shed!
Well. be 1t so. Too soon, ali me.
Their days of frolicing will flee,
Those chubby legs as on Time skins
In later years, alas, are Limbs!
So let them frolic in their play
And leap and scramble while they may.
When they are grown. who knows but
then
VIII hobble skirts be in again!
