The housewife who buys her fresh

pertaining the quality Of the eggs she

All wholesale egg dealers have been
under license for some time, but re-
cent regulations require all dealers in

at, Washington, d. G. The regulations
follow:

Rail Boost Hits Drummer.

The prospect is that travelling
statesmen will soon tie an almost un-
known factor.
SO said a Webster City merchant
today. The increase in railroad
fares, together with rising costs in
all directions, has led many Of the
larger jobbing houses, especially
clothing jobbers, to plan to hold small
retailers conventions at central points
where the purchasers will meet the
seller.
The knights of the grip" may
thus soon become a vanishing order.
1t is considered probable that they
may be called in altogether. Those
who do still travel will cut off their
itinerary cities of this size and even
up to those of $4,000 inhabitants.
One indication of the trend Of
the times, said a clothing merchant
today, is the fact that manufacturers
themselves, who used to drop in once
or twice a year to visit their GUS
toners, are no longer seen here. The
tendency to economize in every pos
sible way was also the cause of the
action by the National Association OF
Clothiers this year. he said, in chang
ing the place of meeting from Chicago
to New York. The retailers were
thus the ones obliged to do the
travelling, according to the same plan
as that proposed of having retailers
conventions at which to transact
business.

Baby Station in DIR. f. E. Richardson's
Office is Open and Weighing
and Measuring Of Babies
Starts.
ARE USING EVERY PROBATION
Only One YOungstcr Admitted ut q
Time.-Interest in Work Assures
its Success.

The weighing and measuring OF
Webster City's babies was begun this
morning with the opening of the child
welfare clinic in DR.. E. E. Richard
sons Office on Wilson avenue. There
was no delay or confusion in getting
the work started and even the babies
seemed to enter into the spirit OF the
test, not single one entering pro-
test to being handled by the deft,
capable hands Of the committee in
charge.
The clinic will be open each day
from 8 to 1880 in the morning and
from 2 to $50 in the afternoon until
every child under six years of/age in
the city has been weighed. However,
parents desiring to take their baby
to the family physician for weighing
and measuring are at liberty to do so
and the enrolment cards may be had
at the committees headquarters. The
cards should then be returned to the
committee, as the government through
the children's bureau, is making a
catalogue index of its baby citizenry.
Use Caution.
Every precaution is being used to
prevent any spread of contagion or
even of colds. Paper sacks have been
provided to receive each child's cloth
ing as he is addressed and after the
test he is dressed from this sack.
Only one baby is admitted to the ex-
aiming room at q time. Mrs. 0. G..
Buxton, block sergeant, on the east
side of the river, is in charge OF the
weighing and measuring of east side
children today and tomorrow Miss
Glasgow will be in charge of the re-
manning children from the Fifth ward.
Miss Elinor Jones is acting as secre-
tary for the campaign, filling in each
child's card as he is weighed and
measured.
Should any mother wish to go away
or if she finds one day more conven-
lent for bringing her baby to the chill
dren's headquarters than another, she
is to feel at liberty to come any time,
the committee announced today.
The interest of mothers is assur-
ance of the campaigns complete sue
cess in both this city and county.
This work is being done all over the
United States. Some towns have al
ready completed the weighing and
measuring test, and the fact that the
first drive in the child welfare year
has proven so successful, has led the
children's bureau to send out letters
announcing to the various commune
ties that the response has been much
greater than had been in any way
anticipated all over the country and
that the results of the rest of the year
were now assured.

Hamilton County Farm Bureau Asks
Cooperation OF Webster City

Farm Expeditions.
WILL HOLD MEETING SATURDAY
Agricultural and Good Roads Bureau
Will be Asked to Cooperate in
Matter.

The Hamilton County Farm Bureau
has asked the cooperation of the Web
ster City Chamber of Commerce in
putting on SERIES Of agricultural eX-
positions, in various parts OF the county
the latter part Of September or the
fore part of October and eliminating
in county exposition to be held in
Webster City.
committee from the Farm Bureau
composed of w. A. Neel and VIM. r.
Oakland, together with John w. Cover
dale of Ames, state superintendent OF
county agents, called on Secretary
Want HUI of the Chamber of Commerce
in regard to this series OF eXpositions
and to ask the cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce in the matter.
Secretary Want HUI has referred the
matter to the agricultural and good
roads bureau and this bureau has been
called to meet Saturday evening to
take up the matter. At that time a
committee from the Farm Bureau will
be present to take the matter up with
this bureau OF the Chamber of Com
merce.
Chance to Cooperate.
Secretary Want Hui has sent notice
to each member OF the agricultural and
good roads bureau regarding this
meeting, which read, in part, as fol-
lows:
+ You will remember that sometime
ago the suggestion was made that
Hamilton county ought to have a coun-
ty fair, but it was deemed best, since
we have farm bureau here now, that
the matter should be initiated by
them, in which case the Chamber OF
Commerce would do all in its power
10 cooperate with them.
This matter has come to us un-
solicited, and is one of the finest means
to establish firmly that cooperation
between town and country that we
have all been wishing for.
I hope, therefore, earnestly, that the
members of the agricultural bureau
will make a point of attending this
conference next Saturday night, even
if they have to set aside some other
engagement to do it. Let us make the
most of this opportunity of proving to
the rural communities that we are
anxious to work with them. Saturday
night may be bad time for you, but
please remember that it is the only
time for the farmer.

died at Carlin, Nevada, last Saturday
night.

worse so rapidly that it was found
impossible to prepare him to make
the trip and he died two days after
his arrival at Carlin.

LIBERTY BONDS AGAIN
Fourth Loan Will Be Floated
Within Another Month and
Nevada Is Looked To
For Her Share

H. A. Lennon, State Director of
the Council of Defense, has sent
word to the county councils that
there will be a convention held in
Reno early in September to discuss
ways and means Of putting Nevada
and each Of its counties lover the
top on the next Liberty Loan. which
starts aboutS September %. Delegates
from each county in the State will
participate in the convention. Eu-
reka County Council, at its meeting
on Tuesday night, unanimously cleo
ted its Director, Edna C.. Plummer,
as delegate from this county.
Washington gives Nevada credit
for having the only 100 per cent eff
ficient Council of Defense in the
country, and holds US as a model for
other States. Whether or not the
State will hold that record after the
next bond issue depends upon the
people. Begin now to plan for buy
ing Liberty Bonds. The quota will
be just double what it was last April
when Eureka County o the State
banner. 1t is going to mean sacri-
fees Of all kinds from each and
every one. Up to the present time
buyers of bonds have taken their
surplus. their savings, to invest in
the Liberty Loans. Now it will
mean that every American family
will have to go without something in
order to loan their money to the u. S.
Government and bring the war to
a speedy close.
Start to figure now on the largest
amount you can invest. Remember,
you are not giving; you are loaning
at interest on the best security in the
world to-day. Remember too, that
your Government in giving you this
chance to invest. you are asked to
loan voluntarily and of your own
free will. If you do not take ad-
vantage of the generosity of Uncle
Sam in this matter, and fall below
the war requirements, it is within
the power of the Government to
take more drastic steps and insist
upon your giving.
