ARDEN LOYALISTS
WIN FLAG FIGHT
Old Glory Will Float Over
|, Village Green To-
morrow
PACIEISTS ARE
EASILY ROUTED

Realizing that the desire Of Ardeniles
to raise The American nag there was
deep rooted, residents who have Op-
posed the nag raising in general and
those who advocated the use Of private
grounds for the same, have appointed
a mediation committee. consisting Of
three townsmen TO adjust the dinlcul-
ties. This committee consisting OF
Messrs. Woolery, Priestmsn and Dr..
Irving Russell called on a number OF
the residents in the colony last night.
The committee was shown a list OF $50
signers, urging that the nag be raised
on the village green. The committee
previously had secured the list Of sign
ers protesting against the use Of the
village green as a site for the flag. bat
when counted last night, IL was seen
that the advocates OF the flag raising
on the green outnumbered the oppOsi-
tion two 10 one.
The committee called az the home
OF Mr. and Mrs. 4. A. Taltaval. where
several other residents had gathered 90
discuss the matter. and while there II
was stated TO the members Of the
committee that the flag was going 10
be raised on the green. in front Of the
club house and no where else. In fact
Louis Kramer offered TO dig the hole
and Arthur y. Andrews. another resi-.
dent OF tire colony. volunteered to as
sst him in planting the flag in the cen.
/ ter OF the colony.
70 was stated that the only opposi
tion 70 the flag in itself being place,
in the colony came from two or threl
peace advocates, whereas a numbe
who signed the opposition petition
merely thought the flag should b.
placed on private lands or the question
OF position should be referred TO
meeting Of The town people.
The fag raising will be held az
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. The pro
gram so far arranged Is merely tenta
tive, but from present indications On
I presentation will be made by Dr. Nor
man Roberts, who purchased Oh
home OF Upton Sinclair, the author, d
the colony several years ago. DI
Roberts is in the Federal service.
II is proposed to have three smal

WASHINGTON EXPLAINS

According 10 local coal dealers. the
action Of the government IN fixing
the price Of coal at the mines will
not make tiny material change in the
present retail prices in Wilmington,
with the exception Of the pea grade
Edward r. Pusey, OF the Edward r.
Pusey Company, said this mbrning
that the price fixed by the govern.
ment is exactly the same as the pres.
ent circular prices OF the Philadel.
phia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company at the mine with the eycep-
tion OF the pea grade. which the &C.
tion OF the government increases at
the mine 81 over the present price.
This schedule OF prices fixed by the
government a. the mines becomes
effective September and no doubt
will result in the retail price OF pea
coal being increased 81 TO correspond
With the prices at the mine.
A large percentage OF the coal
handled by Wilmington dealers comes
from the heading Company and most
all OF it is OF the grade known as

DUCKS THRIVE ON SOFT FOOD
Nutritlve Organs Not Adapted to
Whole Grains--Give Them Green
Feed in Abundance.

The ducks nutritive organs are not
adapted to whole grains. The natural
diet of ducks is soft food. worms and
bugs, from the banks ana marshes. For
best development, ducks should have
soft feed, always accompanied by wa
ter in pans deep enough to permit them
to submerge the beak to che eyes. Give
them lettuce, spinach, beet tops, onion
tops, weeds-green food OF some kind
in abundapce.
For a few ducks the vegetable par
ings may be boiled and fed with mash !;
small potatoes, net to exceed a fifth
of the mash, may be used. Too many
potatoes are not good.
For stock ducks In autumn and early
winter, an excellent ration is equal
parts of cornmeal, wheat bran and
boiled vegetables, with 10 Der cent of
beef scrap fed morning and evening !;
at noon little cracked corn, wheat or
oats. When the birds begin to lay, in
crease the proportion of meal and
scrap, and add lowgrade flour, max
ing Il mash about as follows: Meal,
one part; bran, one part low-grade
flour, one part; vegetables, enc part,
with from Il to Is per cent of beef

THOUSANDS LOST
IN ROTTEN EGGS
Produce Infertlle Eggs-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 flocks spoil before being
marketed The greater part of this
loss is due to partial Matching OF
fertile eggs which have been allowed
to become warm enough to begin TO
ineubate 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
tilizes 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 spoils 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 roosrers 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:
l. Provide plenty of clean nests;
have one nest for every four hens
and keep the straw clean.
2. 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 week during hot weather.
4. Dispose of the ROSTERS 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, uneraeked eggs can
be preserved

PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER
USE.
Consumers as Well as Dealer Car
Keep Eggs.

Eggs are high priced during some
months of the year because they are
scarce. Every housewife can guard
against these high prices il she will
preserve eggs when they are plenti-
full and cheap. 1t is just as easy for
the housewife as IL is for the dealer 10
preserve eggs.
"Water Glass" Method.
The most practical way for the
housewife to preserve eggs is by the
Water Glass method Water
Glass" (sodium silicate) 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 filed with the solu-
ton and they will keep several months
IL stored in a cool cellar or room
where the air IS fresh
Selecting the Eggs To Be Preserved.
Eggs should be preserved by being
put in the water glass solution the
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 filing the
jar, be sure to leave about inches
OF the 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 see 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 Eggs.
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.
