Fifty egg-candling schools are being
conducted in Kansas by Dean e. c.
johnson, of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. These schools will
travel from place to place where there
Is need of instruction.
They were created because many
storekeepers do not know how to
candle eggs. Gambling Is food-sav-
ing measure, and the food admins
tration has ruled that all eggs must
be so treated. State and city laws of
Kansas also require Gambling.

Effect .f Wa, on Trade.


II would be impossible to give In de-
tail the effect Of, the European war on
American trade, but partial statements
show the approximate effect on some
branches Of trade. Thus 1t appears
that during the first 20 months Of war
our exports Of articles used expressly
for war purposes amounted to $1,092,-
5S2,249. The smallest shipments were
In the opening month Of the war, Aug
ust, 1914, when such exports amount
ed to only $S,551, oil and increased al
most steadily up to March, 1916. when
the total was $114,326,426. For the
20 months the exports of explosives
amounted to $166, 159,515; gunpowder,
S104,605, 1856; cartridges, $40.30S,617;
dynamite, $3,211,079; commercial au-
tomobiles, S2,867, 1875; mules, $3002e,-
SOL; horses, $125, 5,241, ,206; airplanes,
$7,401, ,707; firearms, $20,140,9S1; mis-
cellaneous iron and steel, including
empty shells, Sill 1,603,316; rubber, in
Guiding auto tires, $3S,85S, ,76S; barbed
and plain wire, $44, ,4S5,3S5. According
to statistics of the United States de-
partment of commerce, more than
quarters of the total export
trade of the United States in 1916
went to the allied nations Of Europe,
and this including only war exports,
and not provisions or foodstuffs.

Shark Fishing an Industry.

Shark fishing has evolved from a
sport to an organized industry in the
Pacific waters off the southwestern
coast. The skin of various species of
the fish when tanned forms tough,
durable leather that is in considerable
demand, and the oil that is extracted
from the carcass likewise has CONNER
cial value. OF late japanese syndi-
cate has undertaken the exploitation of
this long-neglected field and, as a re-
suit, large numbers Of sharks are being
captured. The mottled skins of the
tiger sharks are being made into slip
pers, belts, gloves and other articles,
while those of the great blue and bask-
ing sharks, which are especially thick
and strong, are used for purposes that
demand long-lived material.-Popular

When an American is told that asy-
thing is impossible his impulse is to
try to do II without delay. For this
reason no one will be astonished,
though everyone will be interested, In
the story Of a member Of the Ameri-
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine ta-
ken away from him temporarily be-
cause he had used 1t in looping the
. loop-a dangerous evolution, on ac-
count of its peril forbidden to be at
tempted in this machine. While, "well
up in the blue" the aviator had start
ed to perform the feat and made five
graceful loops in descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his reprlmand by asking, "Why did
you do it?" and the aviator replied, "A
Frenchman told me 1t could not be
DONE" 1t was not unnatural that this
explanation made a favorable impress
sion on the officer, and that he related
II with admiration in proof Of the fine
spirit of the fellows the United States
is sending across the Atlantic to hold
up Uncle Sans end of the world war.

EVERY OTHER FIELD KILLED
So q Phoenix Pioneer Could Do Moth

Phil Snodgrass, q former resident, II
visiting Phoenix and refreshing the
memories Of the few old-timers who
remain, the Arizona Republican states
Most of them had forgotten the names
and even the existence of many Of the
residents of more than a generation
ago. Mr.. Snodgrass recalls them all
and has asked about them. He re-
members landmarks that long since
have disappeared and were forgotten
by those who had become familiar
with the buildings that had taken their
| places.
The coming Of Mr.. Snodgrass has
revived many incidents connected with
the lives of the old-timers. H. Il. Pat
rick of course, was here then, having
completed the excavation of the Grand
canyon. Having nothing else to do,
he was awaiting ON the site of Phoenix
for civilization to come and pre-
empt il.
Mr.. Patrick was then, as now, q
civil engineer. His leveling rod had
seen rough times and needed paint
ing. About that time p. c. Bicknell
appeared on the scene and advertised
himself as a decorative painter. He
undertook to paint the rod. When Mr..
Patrick received 1t back he had lev
cling rod unlike any other In exist
ence. He felt sure that that was the
first one Bicknell had ever seen.
Though Mr.. Patrick had paid S5 for
the decoration, he made no complaint,
but repainted 1t himself after a fash
ion, so it would do.
Years afterward Patrick and Bick-
nell met in saloon In -Wickenburg
and in talking over old times both be-
came quite frank and. outspoken.
"YOu remember" asked Patrick,

Bicknell remembered 1t very welk

PROHI TEST SUITS
READY FOR TRIAL

EVANSVILLE. Ind, Feb. 16.-Judge
F. NJ. Hostetter in superior court here
today overruled the demurrer Of Coun-
ty Prosecutor Osborne, to the com.
plant of Evansville breweries against
Indiana prohibition law and declared
the status unconstitutional, bringing
the case to a point where it may be
set for trial of the actual facts involv-
ed in the suit.
In giving his ruling Judge Hostetter
said that the statute of 1917 is not one
designed to limit and regulate the
making and handling of alcoholic bev-
erages nor to confine the use Of such
beverages within the bounds of temp
erance and moderation, but absolutely
to make temperate and moderate use
legally impossible. 1T contemplates
not a restraint against the needless
citizens will' he said. but is intend
ed to coerce the discreet citizen SO
that he may not exercise his will. 1t
amounts to an attempt not to
strengthen through education the
character OF the Indiana populace, by
recognizing a premium on manhood
but to atrophy the power of self man
agement altogether by depriving op.
portunity therefore. It Is intended to
force upon one class Of worthy India
mans an unwillingly outward conform
ity to a mere appearance Of strictest
virtue in personal practices, as such
virtue is gratuitously conceived by
another class Of worthy Iudianians."

DUTY
TO BUILD GYM

That It is Earlhan colleges pa
triotic duty to have a new gymnasium,
was the decision reached Saturday by
the board of trustees in meeting at
Earlham.
Owing 70 the demand OF physically
trained men FOR war. it was thought
that 1t IL the duty OF Earlham college
to supply its students with an ade-
quate gymnasium for keeping physic-
ally fit.
The present frame building which is
answering the purpose of a gymnas-
ium is not adequate.
The new gymnasium according to
plans submitted by President Edwards,
which were drawn by Guy Study OF
st. Louis. a former Richmond man,
calls for two large floors. one for men
and the other for women. offices,
swimming pool. and other auxiliaries.
The architecture of the new building
will be Of colonial type, similar to that
of Earlham hall.

HIGH SCHOOL BOY
HELD FOR THEFTS

Albert White, a senior In the high
school, is held on a charge Of steal
ing trunks in the Pennsylvania rail-
road station at Dayton last summer
Two trunks, mysteriously left in the
barn Of Walter Bulla, five miles south
of the city, Thursday, led to his ar
rest here by railroad detectives.
White, the police say, confessed the
theft. The railroad company paid
the owners of the two trunks $500.
Detectives say White learned they
were in the city and hired an automo-
bile to remove the trunks from his
room to the farm. A search is being
made for alleged accomplices. White
has been taken to Dayton.
White deserted from the the army
some time ago. He told the police he
was trying to make enough money to
go to West Point. Friends made it
possible for him to re-enter the army
without being punished. Subsequent
ly he was discharged. Army officers
believed he fired shot through his
hand to get a discharge.
