Labor Organizer Is Said tc

| st. Adams, April 9.--About 200 of the
900 employees of the mechanical depart
ment of the Central Vermont Railway
company went on strike at 10 o'clock
this morning, following the refusal of
the officials of the company to recognize
the local branch OF the American Fedora
tion of Railroad Workers, which has been
in the process Of organizing here for sew
eral weeks under the direction of Organ.
izer Dwyer of Boston. The railroad has
asked the city authorities for protection
of their, property. and special deputies
will be put on duty around the shops.
President e. Q. Smith of the railroad
company says that the officials are ready
to take up any question OF injustice, in
adequate pay or improper working condi
tions in the shops and that demands
have always been coupled with a neces-
sity to recognize the order. Mr.. Smith
does not deny the right of the men to
organize, but he will not put the Central
Vermont in a position TO recognize an
order of which he knows nothing and of
which he hears bad reports. 1t is under
stood that the organization is in no way
connected with the American Federation
of Labor.
1t is said there was no discord smong
the shop workers previous to Mr.. Dwy

ganizer Dwyer said he was making prog

received, it was necessary for them to go

Nothing but laugh at you, sir right before your face. Nothing but belittle you and try to make you out a fool before any and everybody he can. What do I mean? Simply this I've never been out with you in my life when old Tattletale was in the company that he didn't begin to poke fun at you and ridicule you and do everything to make you appear like perfect ass. Why, it's just gotten so that we can't be where old Tattletale is that he isn't saying something about chickens and 'squabs,' and all sorts of feathered fowls and winking and blinking at everybody and insin- uating that you are the sort of man who likes those things.

The Quicksilver Bernard Shaw

Of Bernard Shaw. r. II. writes In the New Republic: No one has become so serenely at home with the theatre pub lie or is allowed to saunter with such informality among idols. He may sit on the floor where other people sit on chairs may enter souls without knock ing and leave without leave-taking, and each touch of his familiar unusualness is happily anticipated and recognized. There is a certain responsibility on his side, indeed to meet these expectations of the public. He would be painfully disappointing if his characters did not
 jump through paper rings or hang their hats on the intellectual gas. But while the luxury of prattle is eagerly permit ted to him by scores and hundreds Of auditors. including every English speak ing critic it is absurd not to regret that he is luxuriating, taking his ease in dis porting rather than exercising his gifts. While the struggle was on, he tried hard er Now that it is won, he has dropped the discipline of self-critieism and lets his quick silver mind run loose The penalty is not apparent. He fills thea- tres as he never filled them in his hey day. His audiences know when to laugh, If not when to think. But there is 8 penalty in the end'

Rocks and from the Wyandotte the speckled egg.
 The matter of which is the best color depends entirely upon the particular market supplied. Some people favor the white egg others believe the brown white, brown, or speckled, the price ob- tainable will always be better if all the eggs in a container or crate are of uniform color. Where container can not be filled with eggs of one color in reasonable time, it will pay the producer to use smaller carriers and have each one contain a uniform product.
 THAT ONE SMALL EGG
 The next step in grading in size, which is fully as important as color. Nothing detracts more from price than to nave one or two small eggs in layer. One small egg in a package, or a few dls- tributed through a crate Will lower the price several cents a dozen in the whole sale market Tn the case of the private customer the one small egg to the dozen is not a fair deal, and usually makes the customer feel that he has been cheated. Eggs of large size generally bring more than small ones, but the important thing in grading is not so much the size of the eggs as their uniformity.
 No doubt the most important point In grading is freshness, for if the eggs are stale, then grading for color and size is wasted labor. Where it is the endeavor to serve particularly good trade it will pay to candle even the freshest of eggs Candling enables one to pick out the occasional egg containing blood spot or other matter sometimes found In the best of eggs, which, in the eyes Of the consumer. brands the egg as bad one In this manner an absolute guarantee can be given with the eggs.

To Avoid Rough, Coarse,
 Chapped, Blotchy Skin

Most skins require constant groom ing at this season to keep them from rough or harsh, or if such condition has developed, to overcome it. In such cases it is particularly inadvisable to keep bling on cosmetics which clog the pores and make the complexion worse than ever.
 It's a lot more sensible to use ordin- sorbs a spoiled complexion. Apply the wax. like cold cream,. before retiring: Next morning, in washing it off, you'll wash away fine, f1our-like particles of the unsightly cuticle. Repeat for a week or more and you'll have an en- tirely new. skin-soft white, spotless mercolized wax, procurable at any druggists, is all you'll need.

IVA ARKETING STRICTLY FANCY
 EGGS TO A PARTICULAR TRADE
Freshness, Cleanliness, Care full Grading and Attrac- tive Packing Necessary. Avoid the One Small Egg, the Blood Clot or Other Irregularity
By J. RAYMOND KESsLER Practical POuitryman

The paramount issue in developing a worthwhile market for eggs IS 10 oeilNel the product clean and fresh, not most oA the time but all the time. One or two pao eers w and then has wrecked many promising trade, not only causing the loss of present customers, but also destroying the future trade possibilities of the pro ducer. Some poultry raisers claim that bad egg now and then cannot be heiped' but in truth the only excuse for pad egss is negligence on the part of the producer. The first step in developing good market must be taken in the henhouse itself. This should mean a general clean up of the quarters, particularly the nests and in supplying the latter with an abundance of clean straw or other nest ing material.
 The next step is frequent gathering or the eggs and storing them in clean cool place until marketed. To be sure of freshness the eggs should be gathered at least twice a day and even oftener in extremely hot or cold weather. Most poultry raisers are careful to gather their eggs frequently in hot weather, but
  ing that so long as the eggs are not frozen badly enough to crack them open that they are not harmed. This is false idea, for even slight freezing will destroy an eggs freshness. An egg that has been slightly frozen will appear much like stale egg when opened, be- ing rather watery and it will have flat taste Frequent gathering is as inn portant in winter as in summer.
 GRADING IMPORTANT
 --sext in importance comes grading, an Absolutely necessary work if one would secure and hold worthwhile trade Grading usually conveys the idea oi color alone, whereas the grading in cludes three things-color, size and freshness.
 In grading for color the eggs should be separated into three lots, the abso- lutely white shell eggs, those with brown shells, and then the speckled and off color ones. The grower will come nearer to having a uniform color of egg if he adopts one breed of fowls in- stead of a mongrel flock. As an in- stance, we obtain the white shell egg from the Leghorn, brown eggs from the
