WASHING EGGS, BAD PRACTICE.

Grocers receiving eggs they expect to keep on hand any length of time should not wash them, even if they are dirty. The dirt is wholly on the outside, and only affects the appear ance of the egg. The shell of an egg contains a gelatinous substance which prevents air and germs from entering the eggs. Washing destroys this sub stance.
 Many customers will not buy soiled eggs, but it is desirable that the gro cer should explain these facts to his patrons. The public has been trained to demand and buy clean eggs. It should be remembered that dirty eggs while not pleasing to the eye, are often the better. According to the Department of Agriculture, more than five million eggs spoil unneces- sarily in cold storage every year be- cause they have been washed or have in some way become wet before being sent to market.

BUSINESS MEN ASSIST
 IN HARVEST OF KANSAS

A slight break of binder or head CT in the midst of harvest will not mean that the farmer must stop work and send to town for repairs if the farmer lives near Wichita, Kans. The Wichita Board of Commerce will send out fepair men by auto and charge nothing for the service.
 Every able-bodied man in Wichita is being enrolled to help in the har- vest. Those who are not able to har- vest will have to run the city while the physically fit will bring in the crops. Business men and business women will man the automobiles, and in case farmer needs twine, oil or new machinery parts, they will be ready to answer the call and make deliveries without cost.

CONVENTION PROVIDES
 FOR PARDON BOARD

Little Rock, July 6.-The constitu- tional convention adopted proposal providing for a pardon board to con sist of the attorney general, secretary of state and auditor. There was a considerable fight against it by dele gates who submitted various argu- ments in opposition. Delegate Head of Miller, secured the adoption of an amendment providing that No par don, reprieve or communication in fel- ony cases may he granted by the gov emor until after application therefor shall have been duly made to the board of pardons."
 Delegate Coleman of Jefferson held that a board of pardons could be only advisory in it's capacity. since the power of pardon rests inherently in the chief executive, who may act ir- respective of the intervention of any other authority.

GENERAL ELECTIONS TO BE
 HELD FUNDAMENTALLY

Little Rock, July 6-According to propositions adopted yesterday by the constitutional convention, "the general elections shall be held quad rennially, on Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but the general assembly or the people may, by law, fix different time"
 This fixes a four year term for all state. district and county officers. A further provision is that the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, auditor and treasurer of state shall not be elig- ible to succeed themselves.
 Delegate Hutchins of Woodruff of fered an amendment that mo one of said officers, having served four years excessively in the same office, shall be eligible as his own successor"
 Delegate Pettigrew offered an amendment that "No one of said off, cers shall be candidate for any other office during his tenure of office."
 Both amendments were adopted. This means that none of-the officers named can succeed himself or any other office, unless they first resign from the office they are holding.
 Delegate w. F. Coleman of Jeffer- son gave notice that he would move to reconsider the vote by which these amendments were adopted.

REPORTS MUST BE FILED
 BY BUYERS OF SUGAR

Little Rock, July S.-Sugar for the remainder of the year has been denied a great many manufacturers who failed to comply with government order last month and file a report showing the amount of sugar they had on hand. Those reports had to be in by June IT. Many manufac- turers had a supply of sugar to last them to July. Now when they want sugar there is no record on file in this city from them. Of course they are hoWlng, but instructions from Wash lngton on that particular are em- phatic.
 Now, 1t is announced, new reports are demanded, and in order that no buyer of sugar may be penalized, Hamp Williams, state food admins trator, has issued the following:
 New reports must be filed by all buyers of sugar, whether you have a supply for July or not. These reports must be in my office on or before July b. If you have made application for sugar purchasing certificates you will ho0 haTe to make out another report at thls t.1'e. These reports must be made out by every one who buys sugar excepting only the householder Who purchases for private consump- tion.
 Federal, state, county and city in- S'!Vutlons using sugar are not per nlVIed to buy that product without 'he sugar purchasing certificate. If '"ey have not already made the pro- per application, they are urged to do 50 at once. They, too, must file the oHlcial report. Sugar will positively oe denied for the remainder of the year to all who do not make these re- portS' If you are in doubt as to what you should do, write me immediately. :"

Do NOT RECOGNIZE
PEACE WITH RUSSIA
SUPREME WAR COUNCIL OF Al
LIES DENouNcEs TREATY AS
CRIME AGAINST RUSSIA.
ALLIES TO CONTINUE FIGHT
Germany Violated Armistice Agree
ment by Transferring Troops to
Western Front and Invading
Russian Territory.

London.-The supreme war council
of the allies has issued a statement
condemning German political crimes
against the Russian and the Rouma.
MAN peoples and refusing to acknowE
edge Germany's peace treaties with
them, and also declaring:
1--WE are fighting and mean to con
tinue fighting, in order to finish once
for all with this policy Of plumber,
and establish in its place the peaca-
full reign Of organized justice"
The councils statement, which is is
sued through the foreign office, says:
THE prime ministers and foreign
ministers of the entente assembled Ia
London feel II to be their bounden
duty to take Aote Of the political
crimes which, under the name OF a
German peace, have been committed
against the Russian people. Russia
was unarmed. Forgetting that for
four years Germany has been fighting
against the independence of nations
and the rights Of mankind, the Rus
sian government, in a mood of singu-
lar credulity, expected to obtain By
persuasion that democratic peace
which 1t had failed to obtain by war.
"The results were that the interme-
date armistice had not expired before
the German command, though pledged
not to alter the disposition Of its
troops, transferred them IN masse to
the western front, and so weak did
Russia find herself that she raised no
protest against this fragrant violation
of Germany's plighted word.
what followed was of like charac-
ter when the German peace was
translated into action. 1t was found
to involve the invasion Of Russian ter.
ritory, the destruction or capture of
all Russia's profit, a proceeding which
did not differ from annexation be-
cause the word itself was carefully
avoided"

AMERICANS HEIDI IN

n. c. EMERY, FORMER CHAIRMAN
TARIFF BOARD, AND % 9TH
ERs TAKEN TO DANTZIG.
PROTEST MADE TO FINLAND

Washington.-A report Of the ar.
rest on the Aland Islands of Henry
Crosby Emery, q former chairman Of
the tariff board, said to have been cap
tured with a party Of British by the
Germans and taken to Germany, was
made to the state department by Min.
lister Morris at Stockholm.
Minister Morris also reported that
he and the British and French diplo-
mats at Stockholm had protested to
the foregn office Of Finland against
the fragrant violations of neutral
rights" In the detention of Maj. EN-
cry and the others by the Germans.
Their immediate release was demand
ed, the minister said.
Mr.. Emery, Mr.. Morris dispatch dis
closed, holds a majors commission IN
the reserve corps of the American
army. He was sent to Russia, it was
said, by the Guaranty Trust Company
Of New York. While there he was
commissioned at the request of Brig
Gen. w. ". Judson, the American mill
tary attache at Petrograd, and was
made a member of the American mill
tary mission.
Minister Morris said nothing as to
the final disposition of the prisoners,
although press dispatches said they
we're taken to Dantzg, Germany, on
board a German steamer. All women
members Of the party and men more
than so years Of age, he said, were
permitted to proceed to Sweden.
The minister said the party was
captured after 1t left Abo by sledge,
and that they we're taken to Ekero.
At the state department it was said
that no instructions had been sent to
Minister Morris.
The minister reported there we're 20
persons in the original party, and
that, besides Maj. Emery, the Germans
held 16 Englishmen. The Germans
were about to send the women and
older men into Holland, but Swedish
officials on the Aland stands protest
ed, and they we're put aboard a boat
for Sweden.

HOLLAND VESSELS
TURNED TO ALLIES
DUTCH TONNAGE UNDER FULL
CONTROL OF ENTENTE ALLIES
FOR DURATION OF WAR.
CONCESSIONS TO THE HUNS
America Holds Several Vessels In
Ports Which Mil Be Utilized
Immediately TO Transport
Soldiers and Supplies.

Washington.-HoIland, on the eve
Of her shipping being taken over by
the United States and Great Britain,
has given evidences of a readiness to
make a voluntary agreement to that
purpose, ever agreeing that the ships
shall be sent through the war zone.
In view Of the continued pressure
upon the Netherlands by Germany in
opposition to such a step, officials
here were mystified at the sudden
change in the situation and began to
speculate upon what arrangements
Holland might have made with Ber
lin.
1t was stated in official circles that
Holland probably would make liberal
concessions to Germany when she
turns her ships over to the allies, but
It was feared that the sudden acQui.
scene with the long opposed provi-
sion that the ships be sent through
the war zone, might indicate that the
Netherlands government was propos-
ing something new in connection with
the negotiations which Great Britain
and the United States would be un-
able TO accept.
The fact that the United States and
Great Britain had determined to seize
all Dutch ships In their ports Monday
unless Holland agreed before that
time to turn them over under a volun-
tary arrangement was made known.
The two ships which will be permit
ted TO sail are the Nieuw Amsterdam,
which will take a cargo of foodstuffs
and a large number Of passengers to
Holland, and the liner Oranje, which
will take a party of Dutch colonial Of
ficers from an American Pacific port
to the Dutch East Indies.
The virtual ultimatum presented at
The Hague by diplomatic representa-
tives Of the United States and Great
Britain specifically required that the
Dutch ships to be taken over on March
is should be given without reservation
against being sent into the danger
zone.
The provisional agreement which
Holland has left Enacted upon more
than two months provided that the
ships should not be sent through the
danger zone, but the newest represe-
informed the Netherlands
government that this proviso now
must be eliminated. The agreement
in practically all other respects will be
carried out.

FEDERAL CONTROL
Of COAL INDUSTRY
DEALERS, PRODUCERS AND JOB
6ERs MUST SECURE GOVERN
MENT LICENSES.
BECOMES EFFECTIVE APRIL

Washington.-The coal Industry
vital to winning the war-will pass
under rigid government control on
April /.
In a proclamation President Wilson
ordered the licensing with exceptions
of all producers, jobbers and dealers
in coal and coke.
At the same time the fuel admins.
tration issued drastic regulations re-
ducing to a fixed limit the profits of
middlemen, jobbers, selling and pur.
chasing agents.
Selling agents for anthracite per-
forming no service whatever were cut
off without any profit at all; those re-
screening the coal were allowed five
cents a ton for this service. This rule,
1t was explained, will automatically
eliminate this class of middlemen.
Purchasing agents who buy for an
other without becoming the owner of
the coal may charge Is cents a ton
iOI bilullluOubl ~ NCul5 IOi uhthAoSieS
for delivery east Of Buffalo and 80
cents west of Buffalo, with IN addi-
tional 8 cents per ton in each case
for ~rescreening at ports. So-called
purchasing agents" who in reality be-
come owners of the coal are barred
from extorting any commission" what
ever.
There can be but one commission
paid for the purchasing service; or If
there are two or more pur 'hasers their
combined commissions must not ex-
coed that Of one.
The move was aimed almost wholly
at the middleman, the jobber extorting
excessive profits and the hoarder;
since those miners of coal and manu-
facturers Of coke distributing their
own products exclusively are exempt
under the proclamation. Retailers.
though. for the present are not to be
affected.
The control to be set is almost ident-
Ical with that exercised over food.

eminent license, and must conduct
their affairs and regulate their profits

Paris.-French patrols, operating IN
the vicinity of Rheims, penetrated the
German line to a distance Of more than
three-fifths of a mile, according to the
war office announcement. In the same
region, to the east of Sillery, the at
tempt of a German raiding party was
frustrated. There was heavy artillery
tire during the night on the right bank
Of the Mouse, in the Verdun region.
The statement follows:
"a French detachment in the region
of Rheims penetrated the German lines
20 a depth of one kilometer. destroyed
numerous shelters and brought back
nine prisoners.
"After brief artillery preparation the
Germans east of Sillery made a raid,
which was broken up by French fire.
~On the right bank Of the Mouse
there was violent artillery fighting,
particularly in the region Of Hill 344.
There was no infantry action.
ION Sunday three German airplanes
were destroyed and six others were
damaged badly by our pilots. A cap
tive balloon was set on fire by n Of
our aviators. Furthermore, It has been
learned that two other German air
planes were brought down on March
