BRITISH PRECEDENT JARRED
Appointment of Secretaries to Cabinet
Are Now Made Public.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
LONDON, March 17.-For the first
time in the history of the British gov
ernment, secretaries to the cabinet
have been appointed. Heretofore il
has been the rule that no member of
the cabinet should take any note of
the proceedings except the prime min
ister.' who did so for the purpose of
informing the king. The system was
unbusinesslike and unsatisfactory in
many respects, and the scope and COM
pleXity of the questions which have
come up in connection with the war
rendered a change imperative
The secretaries who have now been
appointed are as follows: Col Sir
Mark Sykes, NJ. r., Col. Sir Maurice
Hankey, Capt. l.. S. Amery NJ. Il.
Under the new system minutes of
every cabinet meeting will be taken
and filed, and Lloyd George is quoted
as hoping that there will be a con-
siderable increase in efficiency. as
well as a saving of time.

Patient Joe

Have you heard of a collier of honest renown
Who dwelt on the borders of Newcastle town?
His name it was Joseph, you better may know
If tell you he was called, always, "Patient Joe."
Whatever beded, he thought was right
And Providence still, he kept in sight;
To those who love God. let things they would,
He was certain that all worked together for good
He praised his Creator whatever befen
How thankful was Joseph when matters went WELL
How sincere his carols of praise for good health
And how grateful for any increase in his wealth.
In t1rub,, ne bowed him to Gods holy WILL
How ted Joseph when went i'll;
Whe0 ji and when poor he alike understood
Tha' n A. ags, together, were working for good.
Who. high and provisions dear,
Stil Joscih leclared he had nothing to fear;
1t was but trial he well understood,
From Him who mace all work, together, for good.
Though his wife bat sckly; his getngs but small
mind Sc submissive prepared him for all;
He lived on his gains they greater or less;
And the Giver he ceased not each moment to bless.
It Joseph's il-fortune to work in pit
With some who believed tSat profa. eness wit;
When disasters 6efel him. much pleasure they showed
And laughed and saio 'Joseph will this work for good?'
But ever, when these would profanely advance
That this happened by luck that happened by chance
Still Joseph insisted no chance co,ld be found
Not sparrow, by accident, falls t. the ground.
Among his companions who worked in Ybe pit
And made him butt of their profigate wit
Was idle Tim Jenkins who laughed and VIII yamed
Who mocked at his Bible and not ashamed.
One day. at the pit his old comrade he found
And they chatted preparing to go under ground;
Tim Jenkins, usual, turning to jest
Joe's notion that all things which happen were best
AS Joe on the ground had unthinkingly, laid
His provisions for dinner of bacon and bread,
dog, the watch, seized the bread and the meat
And off with his prey, with footsteps, so fleet
Now to see the delight that Tim Jenkins expressed;
Al r. A,I nL2ff'
'No doubt on t. said Joseph, ''but as must eat
aTs my duty to try to recover my meat. N#
So saying he followed the dog along round
While Tm laughing and swearing went down underground
Poor Joe! returned though his bacon was lost
For the dog good dinner had made at his cost.
When Joseph came back he expected sneer,
But the face of each collier spoke terror and fear
"What narrow escape hast thou had, F." they all said
1.-The pit has fallen in and Tim Jenkins is dead.
How sincere the gratitude, Joseph expressed
How the compassion which gowed in his breast;
Thus events, great and small, if Alright understood,
Will be found to be working together for good.
''When my meat, Joseph cried, just stolen away
And had prospects of eating today,
How could it appear to short sighted sinner
That my life would saved by the loss of my dnner

Save The Eggs

Statistics show that we lost S50,000,o00 each year on account of poor handling of poultry prod ucts. The south probably is the greatest offender in this respect Carelessness is respon sible fol an enormous egg waste ln the summer. It is an undisputable fact that the fertile egg goes to the bad much quicker than the infertile egg. Through articles written especially for the Com mercial Appeal we have been trying to drive home poultry facts for several years. These articles have attracted a great deal of interest and have been productive of much good.
 Down in Yalobusha County Mississippi, the merchants and others in the little town of Cot- feeville have set aside next Sat urday as poultry day. They have invited the farmers and thelr families to be their guests and learn some facts regarding food conservation, with special em- phaSis laid on the preservation of eggs. The store windows vii make displays to teach lessons il marketing. There will be some one in each store to explain tht methods of properly caring fol eggs.
 Coffeeville is showing a spiri of pataiotism, an answer to tht presidents call to conserve a. well as increase food production If every community in the south land should adopt this plan ther' would be more eggs on our ta- bles. and more money in tht pockets of the farmers.
 Suppose you go to work an, see that your town has a poul try day. Both the town and tn farmers will be gathers. Com mercial Appeal.
