Wetting spOiIs Eggs.

Approximately 5,0l6,O0O dpz-
en- eggs spoil needlessly every
year in cold storage simply be-
cause some one has let clean
eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them
to market, according to the
specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Careful Investigations of large
quantities of stored eggs show
that from IL to % per cent of
washed eggs become worthless
in storage, whereas only 4 to s
per cent of dirty eggs stored un
washed spoil. The explanation
is simple. Water removes from
the shell eff the egg a gelatln-
GUS covering which helps to
keep air and germs out of the
inside OF the egg. Once this
covering Is removed by washing
or rain which gets to eggs in
the nest, germs and moulds find
ready access to the contents and
spoil the eggs.
This enormous loss in storage
eggs largely can be prevented
if producers and. egg handlers.
especially during March, April
and May, will refrain from
washing eggs destined for the
storage market and take pains
to reduce the number Of dirty
eggs by providing plenty of
clean, sheltered nests for their
hens
Millions Of eggs spoil in stor-
age because they have been ex-
posed to, dew, rain, dirt, and
sun in stolen nests in the grass
nr fence corners.
In view of this great loss of
valuable food, the department
urges country storekeepers and
hucksters not to accept washed
eggs for shipment in case lots.
Shiny eggs, especially in the
early spring, probably have been
washed. All washed eggs pur-
chased should be sold locally for
immediate consumption.

SICILY is LAND OF ROMANCE
Island Of Picturesque History Has Pro
dueed Many Men Who lowered
Above Others In Past.

Siclly's history is as vivid and pic
turesque, as ferociOus and creative and
destructive, as mythical and intensely
practical as the stories of all the rest
of the world put together, says Ma
tlonal Geographic Magazine. And in
beauty of nature, of climate, of man
and Of beast the island is n paradise
today, whether or not it was ever the
workless, painless, passiOnless elysium
where our first ancestors enjoyed all
the good things Of life without having
to toll.
Nature itself, now in the guise Of the
misunderstood gods of old, now in con-
vulsiOns or in quiet fertility that sci-
ence has made plain to us, weaves its
mysterious shuttle through and through
the highly cOlored fabric, And men
such men tower above their fellows
in the story like Titans: Pindar, Aes-
chylus, Theocrltus Thucydldes, Archi-
medes, the two great Hlerons, Cicero,
Verres, DiodOrus, Hamllcar and Hanni-
bal, Roger the Count and Roger the
King, Bellsarius, the great Crusaders
-Illchard of the Lion Heart and Louis
the Saint of France-Charles of An

World" and Garlbaldi. Even this par

ancient and medieval romance and

Listen to Your Dad.

The following from the Baton
Rouge States Times is COM
mended to every boy for his
thoughtful consideration:
Listen to dad, young fellow.
He knows a whole lot more
thanyou think he does. He's
been through the miIl-the same
mill through which you will
have to pass. He isn't an old
fogy or a crank, as you may
suppose; he knows a lot of
things he hasn't told you, and
he's trying to swerve you
around the corners so you will
escape some of the rocks that
he ran upon when he was Just
about your age.
OF course times have changed
since dad was boy, and h,
can't realize it wholly. He may
be little unreasonable in in
sisting that you do as he says ht
was compelled to d. when he
was a boy. Dad makes mis-
takes in thatrespect some times.
But, ail, in. all, dad knows, and
if you'll listen to him you will
get through great deal better
and a great deal easier and
have a great deaf more fun
than if you do not listen tohim.
Dad isn't asking you to do
anything to punish you. His
requests are not made because
he doesn't want you to have a
good time, and be like other
boys. Dad is just as much inter-
ested in your pleasure and vOur
success it life as you are. But
because he can see a little fur
ther ahead than you can, be-
cause Re knows the results of
certain things, because he is
patient and takes the time to
study out exactly what will fol-
for certain course Of conduct,
you may imagine that he is
standing in your way. Don't
get that into yoIr head, boy.
Hear this: There isn't fail
ure in the world today who took
dads advics. And there isn't
a successful man in the world
who doesn't owe a part of thai
success to The interest somebody
elst'-a dad or a friend-took in
him.
Listen to dad. kid. A father
is the biggest asset any hoy
ever had, except his mother. If
he were to die tonight and leave
you the whole world for your
own. you would be poorer than
you are now, with a dad living.
You are further advanced than
dad was at your age; you know
more than he knew at your age
you are father along every way.
Dad realizes that. But you are
not further along than dad is at
this time, you do not know
more than he knows now. Sc
the best thing to do, the right
thing TO do, tho thing that II
pays to do, is to listen to dad.

PLANNED FOOD RIOTS
Disclosure Follows Arrest Of
PlotterS At Seattle.
Anarchists Laid Plans to Encourage
uprisings Throughout Nation
With I. w. w. Aid.

Seattle, Nov. 30.-Literature seized
at the headquarters of the Italian plot
ters under arrest here indicated that
the men planned to seize foodstuffs
in various parts of the United States,
according to Commissioner of Immi-
grafton White.
The alleged anarchistic society laid
plans, Mr. White said, to make Bos-
ton the center of food riots and, as
sisted by Industrial Workers of the
World, encourage uprisings through
out the nation.
"The pepole will rise up and take
the food where they find it," one of
the seized pamphlets read, according
to the authorities. "The gravity OF
the situation and the probability of an
insurrection by the people cannot be
concealed" ii continued.
False Reports Spread.
The Italian leaders of the intrigue
told their followers, federal officials
said, that the state government OF
Massachusetts feared an uprising and
furnished the Boston police with ma
chine guns and ammunition to quell
it,
other pamphlets found attacked the
United States food administration, of
fcials asserted, and ridiculed the eff
forts of the authorities to control food
prices.

Not One Casualty Occurs In
Transportation of American
Troops To France.
WORD FROM PERSH|NG
Commander and Chief Aide Send Mes
sages to People Back Home"
Giving Reasons For
Thankfulness.

American Field Headquarters
France, Nov. 30.-Not a single Ameri.
can soldier has been lost to date i'm
the transportation of the American
army to France.
In a statement written for the Unit.
ed Press as a Thanksgiving message
to the American people, Major Gener-
al William l.. Sibert, directly in com.
mand of the American forces in
France, held this to be one of the
main causes why America should re
turn thanks tomorrow.
General Pershing also sent a mes
sage back home" for the people
The two messages follow:
Pershing's Message.
General Pershing says:
First, we may be thankful for the
spirit which a great cause has arous,
ed in our nation.
Second, that our army in France
increases and that its training con
tinues according to plan.
Third, for the energy and unity oI
purpose from home which sustained
us here and which will send us the
men and the material enabling us tC
deliver blows whose result will give
us even greater cause for thanks wheI
another Thanksgiving day arrives"
Major Gen. Sibert's Word.
Gen. Sibert sent this message:
This little pioneer contingent o
mine has many things to be tru'l
thankful for.
I'VE have progressed far alons
our program of training. We have
become so hardened physically tina
despite exposure to the rough wealth
er our men have had a minimum o
illness.
But most of all, we are thankful
for this: In the great task of trans
porting our army to France, we have
not lost single man-not one cas-
ualty
when the full force of the United
States can be transported over her'
and thrown into the fight, then WI
allies will win this war, hands down.

U. S. MAY DOMINATE COUNCIL
Paris Newspapers Believe Americans
Will be Leaders.

Paris, Nov. 3O.-Paris has begun
to speculate on the likelihood that
America would dominate the inter
allied conference.
The newspapers have given great
priminence to belated dispatches tell
ing of a revision of American army
plans and the increase of American
fighting forces to 100000 men.
Editorials frankly specuiated on
how this might possibly affect the
public's fears-if the public had fears
that America would unduly infiu-
ence the conference and its decisions.
To an observer, the potency of
Americas voice in the war council
was best illustrated by the fact that
all activities preliminary to the meet
ing revolve about the quiet suite of
hotel rooms where Col. House and his
party are quartered.

Il BRITISH SHIPS TORPEDOED
Record For Week Shows Increase Of

London, Nov. 30.-Fourteen British
merchantmen of 1000 tons and over
and seven os less than 1900 tons were
sunk by mines or submarines last
week, according to the weekly admir-
atty statement. This is an increase
of four vessels in the larger category
over the number reported sunk in last
weeks report.
Last weeks admiralty statement re-
ported the sinking of IL British mer-
chant vessels-10 of more than 1000
tons and seven of less.
The week previously only one craft
of 1000 tons and over and five of less

Italians Refuse Armis-

London, Nov 30.-The battle be-
tween the British and the Germans
around Cambrai on the fighting front
in northern France has died down to
somewhat smaller proportions.
The Germans had brought up larg"
numbers of reinforcements and the
fighting for Bourbon village, the Bour-
Ion wood and Fontaine Notre Dame
was waged with great bitterness, the
positions several times changing
hands.
East and Northeast of Ypres vio-
lent artillery action is in progress,
especially on the sector of Passchen-
daele, and it seems probable that an
other big battle in this section is
brewing
To the south, in the region of st.
Quentin, north of the Aisne and in
the vicinity of Verdun, there have
been small infantry operations with
the advantage resting with the French
troops.
Austrians Ask Armistice.
The Italians continue to hold ten

tween the Brenta and Piaye rivers
against the Austro.German forces
who have been unable in repeated at
tacks to gain additional terrain. An
arInistice in order that they might
bury their numerous dead has been
requested by the Austrians, but ow
ing to lack of faith in the enemy's
intentions, the Italians refused tc
grant 1t.
Major General Maurice, chief direc
tor of military operations at the
British war office, on whose officia
utterances much confidence Is placed

Jerusalem is within sight of the

not improbable that great battle
will have to be fought for its pos
session. To meet the emergency the
British are hurriedly bringing up ad
ditional men, guns and supplies.

CONTROL OF IMPORTS
Put by President as Weapon
Against Germany.
Chief Commodities Put Un6er Ii
cense As Means of Har-
RAISING Enemy.

Washington. Nov. 30.-A proclama-
Wilson extending to imports the same
measure of control the government,
since early i'm the war, has exercised
over exports, by requiring the licens-
ing of most of the chief import COM
modities.
Action was taken under authority
of the trading with the enemy act.
which gives the executive power to
prescribe such regulations governing
imports as public safety requires.
Import licensing viii be put in the
hands of the War Trade board, which
under authority given the President
on the export control act, issues all
licenses for exports.
Control Over Imports.
Assumption of control over imports
gives the government another power
full weapon, which will be used to its
fullest extent in the economic war on
Germany. 1t adds greatly to Ameri-
cas- commercial power, already the
greatest of any nation, and puts this
country in a position during the war
almost to direct the trade of the
world.
Ii minded to use il in that way
the United States could let it serve
as the heaviest kind OF pressure on
neutral traders suspected of using
American goods to supply Germany.
Controlling both exports and imports
the government Is in a position, too,
to demand of other nations the kind
of supplies it needs in prosecution of
the war
