ON THE RIM OF THE HORIZON
Cincinnati Enquirer)

What is happening in Russia, in Italy and in France is of such tremendous importance as to eclipse all other events in the world. And. yet can acquire complete conce tion of the prodgous drama without, at least, occasional glance at minor scenes incidents and characters which not unim portant simply because they are obscure There are, fact events transpiring upon the very rim of the horizon which in ordinary period of humane life would excite the wonder of the race.
 For example in comparatively inconspicuous position there was to be seen day ago the East Africa Finally Conquered" In the account which follows told that this province is 1S0- 900 square miles larger than Germany itself!
 A world which is not aroused over incident of such magnitude and importance must, indeed, be absorbed by events of momentous importance Few these incidents escape the of the but they cannot hold the attention of the And yet, had the time and inclination to dwell for a moment upon the magnitude of this loss of Germany and gain of the Allies, should be fascinated by it's greatness The revenues of this country in 1914 It's imports amounted $15000000 and it's exports to $9750000 Enormous mineral deposits to be found within it's borders Rubber copra, ivory coffee, and abound.

 Beyond doubt events important to the race happening everywhere upon the horizons rim, to the knowledge of which shall only when the lurid of the world have ceased to dazzle with their grandeur
 It makes one long for omniscence to realize how much he is missing upon the periphery of the planet though what he at the center is of such surpassing interest and importance

The United States assumes astonishing promi- in all German discussions of industrial and economic conditions after the Seldom, if ever, before in the European history has outside power been unanimously conceded place determin- ing factor in European affairs. Thus, article by Professor Franz Euenburg in the Review Welthandel although dealing solely with probable commercial con, ditions Germany after the war, finds them largely bound with the possibilities of American workers, and the article is filled with reference the United States and it's commercial future vtally hreaten ing Germany
 Professor Eulenburg believes that the hardshps and privations which the German people have dured and the discipline which they have learned have created in them a capacity for economy and hard work which will be their greatest asset in the rebuilding of Germany after the war. and will be their greatest advantage Hess weldisciplined peoples" like the English and the American Dis. cpline and rigid economy, he declares, will be the chief requisites in the world task of restoring prices to normal levels
 "One of the greatest problems after the will be that of prices' he says. For Germany it will be question of life and death that prices shall fall again from the dizzy height which they have attained.
 After the the level in prices in the world market generally will remain high not only in Ger many, but all the world. The the everywhere In the neutral countries and ths United States it is less the shortage of goods than imitation that has led the dearness of everything In these countries actually swimming in gold and this necessarily involves it's depreciation It to the in the end, however whether the cost of production is increased for this for that These countries will therefore, continue to have high prices for considerable time after the war, and there, too people will have to make up their minds to permanent rising of prices.
 Tn addition, there is special obstacle in the difficulty of procuring labor. It is clear that South America, Eastern Asia, and the United States after the will have level of prices similar to In these countries also the cost of production will continue high for similar to those cited in the of Germany. The United States will for long time have to do without the stream of workers which yearly flowed into that coutnry. Labor in the cotton wheat and mining districts will be for years. and for that wages will be high. In view of the general scarcity of and demand for mater ials, home prices for goods will also remain high.
 "The cost of production for manufactured articles in England the United States, Belgium and Switzer land will not be appreciably lower than in Germany Thus the competition in prices by the manufacturing countries appears be practically equal foot ing. Even Japan will not be able to offer her manu facturers at such low prices to flood the world market.

It gives an ornery man a lot of comfort to reflect that there are worse people in the world than he is.
 Frozen molasses may be slow. But 1t hasn't anything on fat woman who is boarding a r. A. Y. F. street car.
 What has become of the oidfashion- ed tad who used to wear his hat in the house all the time?
 Another difference between men and women is that when a man meets an- other man be hasn't any use for he doesn't kiss 'him.
 And there is a vast difference be- tween having word with Friend Wife and having words with her.
 A man judges another mans fnan- cial rating by looking at Dun and Bradstreet. A woman judges another woman's financial rating by looking at her furs.
 Men are nearly as vain as women. A middle-aged man who has gray hair always has the albi that it is prema- ture, and that all of his folks were gray headed while young.

Wrong and Right Way of Packing
Eggs.

freshly laid. It's easy to get eggs to
market in prime condition.
A stale egg pleases no one. Heat
is the eggs enemy; cold is its friend.
Preceding eggs before shipping them,
therefore, saves food material. 1t
checks the development Of "blood-
rings" which occur in fertile eggs SUBJ
ject to incubating temperature (6S de-
grees or higher). 1t prevents "addled"
eggs, the term applied to eggs when
the membrane between the yolk and
the white breaks, allowing the two to
become mixed. When the eggs are
warm this delicate membrane becomes
soft, in which condition it is more
liable to break by jars which are I'M
avoidable in transportation. Chilling
makes the eggs stiff and jellylike, and
cold eggs ride best. Preceding re-
tards evaporation, the cause of shrunk-
en- eggs. Eggs just laid are full, but
65 per cent of their contents Is water.
AS this water evaporates, the quality
of the eggs Is reduced. Warm tenn
peratures aid evaporation. PrecoOl-
ing helps to make uniform product,
and this is day Of standardization. A
weak spot IN the egg trade is the lack
of uniformity or Standardization for
its product. If each case of eggs re-
ceived at the market was exactly like
the last one, the shipper could estab-
lish reputation for uniformity.
Eggs to be shipped should be well
packed in clean, standard egg cases.
They should be kept under refrigera-
ton and sent to market in properly
iced refrigerator cars which retain
their good quality. Refrigeration dur
ing transit maintains quality, weight,
fresh appearance and food value. 1t
retards loss Of quality, shrinkage,
"blood-rings" and loss Of food value.
