And my Old Kentucky Home.
And the lowly matched cottage in

Where as a child l used TO roam.

From the river that flows at its

Far from the din and the hustle
The noise and hurry of Hopkins

I've titled her fertile soil
But when I sail across the seas
I'll be as true to her as Billy

From my peaceful Kentucky home
I'm a Christian county boy, please
Give me God speed as roam.

And in many things have grown

To get IN trim for trench warfare
And to 60 cunning for the Kaiser.

Soon boys Wen sail for another
beach,
Oh God; wilt thou our guidance be,
That in safety our goal we may
reach.
That no cruel torpedo may sink US,
Before we reach the other shore,
Then we will be band of brothers
And give them what we have in

Fight Germs. and Huns and Kaiser
And all the blood-thirsty crew
We must win this fight for liberty
As our God will help us to do.

CITY'S EGG SALE
CALLED DECEPTION
OOercharge for Poor Quality,
Mahr Says.

Julius D. Mahr. president Of the New
York Mercantile Exchange. issued a
statement yesterday in which he
charged that storage eggs purchased
by him at 90 cents dozen in the Of
fee Of the Rev. Jonathan C.. Day.
Commissioner of Markets, were OF
such a poor quality that they could
not be graded at all under tho rules
Of his organization. An inspection by
exchange agents, he asserted, disclosed
the eggs were poorer than storage
seconds.
According to Mr.. Mahr they were
packed in cartons which had strictly
fresh table eggs" printed OH the top.
and New laid table eggs, guaranteed
strictly fresh" on the sides.
I'm view OF this palpable deception
why Is DR.. Day not amenable to the
law governing the sale of storage eggs,
which must be sold in containers
showing the words cold storage" he
asked. why is the doctor immune
from prosecution"
Mr.. Day said later the eggs came
from crates stamped storage" and
were sold as storage eggs he de-
clared. Unless purchasers wanted to
pay an extra cent for the carton, he
explained, they were put in paper
bags and sold for so cents a dozen.
Mr. Day said that outside OF the six
ty-five city Distributing stations It
would be difficult 10 purchase as good
eggs Toy less than IS on 60 cents a
dozen.
The trade would give us 90 cents
dozen for all the city's eggs" he said.
The egg men are not afraid of these
1000 cases have begun to distribuate.
But they fear 1t may pave the way
for a method by which prices can be
kept down by the city,"

CITY MILK PLANTS
LOOM AT HEARING
Scheme for Municipal Pas
teurizatiOn Suggested at
John Doe Investigation.

The establishment OF four or five
big municipal pasteurization plants TO
take the place OF the 400 or 500
smaller ones now scattered through
the area from which New York city's
| milk supply Is drawn, and legislation
| sweeping out of existence the Dairy
mems League, are points seriously
| considered TO reduce the price of milk.
This developed yesterday at the re-
sumption OF the John Doe milk in
quiry instituted by Mayor Hylan.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo presided
| at the hearing in the Criminal Courts
Building, at which Albert Manning
secretary OF the Datrymen's League,
admitted under the questioning Of
John J. Dooling, Assistant District At
torney, that the suggestions might
cut down expense and result in the
distribution OF milk to consumers at
| reduced cost.
Has the league ever asked the Leg
islature or city authorities to help with
such a scheme or has 1t ever been pre-
scented to your organizations"
We've discussed 1t in n general
way
III these plants were erected would
Il be necessary for the league 10 exist ?
| Couldn't the farmers deal directly with
the consumers"
1T might be- Mr.. Manning I'D
mitted, 'if some system can be de-
v!sed whereby the farmers can get the
| cost of production and a little profit
they will b. satisfied"
will you favor legislation TO do
away with the league and all milk or
ganizations and for direct dealing be-
tween producers and consumers"
Yes, If the interests OF the pro-
ducers are not jcopardiZed."
The trouble with the milk business
| Is that there Ia no competition in
terrupted Magistrate McAdoo. 81 am
trying to find some way 10 unshackle
It and bring back the individual milk
man. Do you think" he asked Mr..
Manning, that 1t would make for
greater competition and for a freer
sale OF milk here II the city withdrew
its pasteurizatIon requirements"
Possibly 1t would be more econom-
.cal."
Roswell ID. Cooper. president OF the
pairymen's League, said he didn't he
lieve tho city pasteurlzation plans we're
practical proposition" His idea for
solving the city's milk problem, he
said, was the creation OF a capable
commission representing the pro-
ducers, distributors and consumers. He
would have 10 study the situation
with the idea of constructive work. -
he said.
Mr.. Cooper thought the city was
facing the most serious milk shortage
in its history because so many farm
ers, finding the business Improbable,
were getting rid of their cows. lie
complained that he couldn't get milk
for breakfast At the Williams Club
where he lived.
The hearing vii, be continued next
Thursday at II \. NJ.
