Have You Eggs Put Away for
Next Winter?

Putting them in Water Glass is an excellent
way of preserving them-they keep fresh and do
not change flavor. Method:
Boil water and let it cool Measure quarts
of boiled water into stone crock IS gal), add
1 quart Water GaSs-mix we'll. Select clean,
fresh infertile eggs-place in solution a dozen
a week, or all at one time. When crock is full
cover closely and store in cool place. This
amount of solution will pack S dozen eggs.
There should be between 1 and inches of
liquid over the eggs. Eggs should never be
washed before putting into the solution. If
slightly smoked wipe with cloth mostened with
vinegar. If eggs are to be used for boiling they
should be pricked with a pin at the large end
before being placed into the boiling water.

Before the death OF Senator TILL

of Oklahoma presented to the Senate
In its most radical present form, the

yesterday a form of bill, which far

seems to purpose nothing less. As

In South Carolina. Wade Hampton
as a representative of the landed
gentry whom their enemies called
Cotton Barons" was whirled out in
the same way by such an insurrec-
ton OF plebeians from the bottom as
disposed of ingalls,. Wade Hampton
was soldier, a gentlemen, OF "un-
tarnished honor" incorruptible, in
capable OF surrendering to the odds,
and bringing to represent his class
the high individual qualities which
make the nineteenth century south
ern gentleman" now politically ex-
tinct, a precious memory. Instictive-
ly he could not represent in South
Carolina or elsewhere, the class OF
small farmers who had been plebeians
before the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and had remained so under aris-
tocratic control until Tnlman led
them in revolt against it
Their revolt finally failed by ex-
haustion, and the movement was
finally taken over" as an asset Of
the Solid South When Senator Till
man died he represented the great

fully and perhaps as capably as they
had been n>represented when McDufhe

The present Importance Of this, as
Senator Gore has forced 1t on atten-
tion, depends on a complete, a revo-
lution4ry change in Western wheat
growing methods, which mas not ap-
piled to cotton-growing methods. The
age of machinery has taken full
effect in Western grain States where
the ''Populism" originated which Till
man made politically effective. But
