Five initiated and referred laws
have been placed before James L. No
land, secretary of state, for submis-
sion to the people ut the November
election. This constitutes the full
number to go before the people, the
time for filing petitions having eX-
pired. Three of the five proposed laws
will go on the ballot by petition. These
are the "bone-dry" bill submitted by
the Colorado ti-Saloon league; n
bill for state aid for the adult blind,
and a bill providing for civil service
in many of the state departments.
Two constitutional amendments are
submitted to the people by the Twen-
ty-iirst General Assembly. One OF
these would limit the time for the
presentation of bills to the legislature
to 10 days, instead of 30 days as the
present law provides. The other wonld
authorize the secretary of state to
print all initiative and referred bills in
two papers of opposite political faith
in each county. Under the present
law Secretary holland will print the
above five initiative and referred bills
in one paper in each county for four
consecutive weeks previous to the
November election.

THE WAR

The Germans began another great
drive, Monday, on q sixty-ave mile
front, against the lines held by the
French and Americans.
Up to Wednesday evening, they
had made only slight gains OF ground.
at the cost of enormous losses.
THE LArEsT-Y Yesterday forenoon,
telephone messages from Glenwood
stated that the French and Ameri-
cans had counter attacked on u twen-
ty-hve mile front, and pressed the
Huns back for six miles, re-captur-
ing from the enemy the important
city of Soissons; taking large num-
bers OF guns and prisoners.
The report says the Americans
alone took 5000 prisoners, 80 large
guns and over 100 machine guns.
1t IL too soon to jubilate, but 1t now
looks as though 1t WAS the beginning
of the end for the Hun.
Up to this drive (or attempted
drive) the Germans had the best of 1t
in numbers and position, but from
now on the Allies ought to out num-
Der the enemy in man-power and re-
sources.

PRODUCTION OF TALC
AND sOAPsTONE INCREASE

Tale Is remarkable for its softness,
slippery feel, and stability under a
wide range of conditions, properties
that make IL useful for many pur-
poses. It's soothing effect upon the
skin makes Il desirable for use as tot
let powder, but IL is most employed as
filter in paper. Much tale is used
in the rubber trade, and the higher
grades are employed in making cleo
trio appliances and blanks for gas
tips. The increased demands of the
war have been met largely by increas-
ed domestic production. The total
output in 1917, the maximum reach
ed. was 1888 tons, valued at$1,-
SS9,672, a grain as compared with
1916 of 3 per cent in quantity and
more than per cent in value, accord
ing to figures compiled by j. S. Diller,
of the T. S. Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior. There were
81 producers reporting to the Survey,
of which z were in California, in
Georgia, 1 each in Maryland, Mass
echusetts, and New Jersey, in New
York, 6 in North Carolina, in Penn
sylvania, 5 in Vermont, and 4 in vir-
ginia.
Heretofore New York has al
ways been the first State in quantity
and value of tale produced, but in
1917 its output was less than that
of Vermont, although on account of
the fibrous character of the tale pro-
duced in New York and its conse-
quent high value for making paper,
the total value of the output in New
York is still greater than that of any
other talc-producing State.
The quantity of tale imported for
consumption in 1917 was less than
10 per cent of the domestic output,
but a large proportion of it is of
high grade More than half the tale
imported comes from Canada and is
of a grade that commands a higher
price than the tale obtained from the
princilal domestic sources.
In its output of soapstone, which is
extensively used for laboratory table
tops, hoods, sinks, and laundry tubs,
the United States leads the world, and
most of it comes from Virginia.
The resources of both tale and
soapstone in the United States are
large and are sufficient to supply the
demand for most grades for many
years to come.

RETURN TO BUSINESS
IN HUNDREADTH YEAR

st. Louis, June 22.-Alexander
Baptiste, almost 100 years old, has de-
cided there is no pleasure in being
idle and has announced he will take
active direction of his tent and avn
ing manufacturing business here.
Just prior to Baptiste's Goth birth
day last November, he announced his
retirement and went to California ito
spend his declining years" At that
time a local newspaper described him
as a citizen and business man who
arises at o'clock a. M, goes through
a half hours physical culture stunts,
the average mans break
fast with three to five eggs and gets
to his place of business at 8 o'clock"
Baptste is said to possess such
grip that the policemen on his beat
dislike to shake hands with him and
his capacity for work is said to double
that of men two score his junior

CHAIN LETTER CRANKS.

With every public movement, and
with many private ones, some crazy
crank starts chain letter propagan-

ceiving such letters in connection
with the raising of Red Cross funds.
The chain letter is an expensive and
nuisance, and Red Cross
officials advise the people to break the
chain at the first opportunity. All
public movements advise against the
chain letter foolishness.

Gambling Eggs.

The poultry raiser with a small
flock as well as the commercial raiser
needs TO make sure that the eggs used
at home or marketed are in best con
dition. Gambling will show that, II
Is reliable and can be done easily.
Equipment can be Impoverished at
home.
The shell of the new laid egg has a
soft bloom" which is a valuable sign
of perfect freshness. This bloom is
destroyed by touch, and in any case
disappears after few days exposure
10 the air After that the appearance
of the shell is not a reliable Indication
of the condition of the contents. BY
holding an egg between the eye au1
strong light in such n manner that
the rays of light come to the eye
through the egg the condition of the
contents can be seen. This method of
examining the eggs is called can
ding"
Gambling eggs is done in a dark
room, using a light inclosed in a case
having opposite the light hole of
appropriate size and shape at which
the egg Is held for examination. An
ordinary hand lamp, a lantern, an in
candescent bulb, or a hash-light may
be used Any box large enough to
hold the lamp, set on end, can be used
for case. Besides the hole in the
side opposite the light there should
be a hole in the top end; otherwise
the heat over the light would fire the
box. A tester chimney such as is
used on lamp for testing eggs in
incubation may be used for Gambling.
Have the light on a table or shelf as
may be convenient. Place the eggs
TO be candled at one side; at the other
have separate receptacles for good
and bad eggs. Take the eggs one by
one and hold, large end up, close to
the light
Appearance of Eggs In Gambling.
A perfectly good. fresh egg shows
full and clear" before the light;
there is almost no air cells at the
large end. and the yolk outline is
only family discernible.
A fixed air-cell of one-eighth to
three-sixteenths inch in depth indi-
Gates a fresh egg as eggs run in gem
.eral receipts. A larger air-cell with
a mobile lower line indicates, ac-
.cording to size and fuction, a stale
egg. or one becoming weak and
watery.
Very small spots in an egg are usu-
ally blood clots. Large spots, rings,
and shadows are due to heat and ger
mination, and indicate decomposition
in the first stages. An egg that Is
OPAQUE except for large fixed air cell
contains a chick dead at an advanced
stage OF incubation. An opaque egg
with large air cell having a mobile
lower line Is in an advanced stage or
fluid decomposition. Eggs showing
slight spots or rings can often be util-
lied by breaking them and separating
the bad part. Eggs that are not Of
fensively bad may be used for poultry
feed.

from this source alone amounts in
year to nearly a quarter of his to-

String beans for canning should be
tender and fresh. When the beans
within thepod have grown to any
size Gaming is more difficult and the
finished product is of poorer quality.
The Refugee is a good variety for
canning, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture Use only
well-sorted, small. tender beans.
Wash and pick over the beans. String
the beans and cut them into two
inch lengths. Cutting diagonally or
ION the bias gives a pretty product.
If desired they can be canned whole
and packed log-cabin fashion in
square jars.
After the beans are prepared,
blanch by placing in a cheesecloth
bag in boiling water for from three to
eight minutes, according to the age
and size of the beans. Blanch only
until the pods will bend without
breaking. then plunge the hot beans
into cold salt water Zone tablespoon
full salt to one quart of water) for an
instant. Drain well, pack quickly and
cover with hot brine 1.-TWO and one
half ounces of salt to one gallon of
boiling water). Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process pints
forty-five minutes under pressure of
ten pounds. Seal Immediately, cool
in draft-free place. When cool, test
for leaks. and store in a cool, dark,
dry place.
If the intermittent boiling process
is used, boil for ninety minutes on
the first day and sixty minutes on the
second and third days. Before each
subsequent boiling the covers must
be loosened, and after each boiling
the covers must be securely frightened
to make sealing complete. Cool, test
and store.
If a single-period boiling process is
used, place jars in the Gamer and boil
for at least three hours. Seal, cool,
test and store.
Lima beans are treated the same as
string beans. except that a seasoning
(one-third level teaspoonful salt and
two-thirds teaspoonful sugar. is add
ed after the jar is packed with beans.
When the jar is filled with beans,
cover them with clear hot water.

move air bubbles and partly seal lids.
