The United States department Of az
iculture Is. promoting a plan for CO.
operation for the common good be-
tween producers and consumers. in
keeping summer-laid eggs for winter
use The plan Is to have. as far as
possible. every farmer and poultry
keeper in the United States preserve
for home use only one case-3O dozen
of eggs, and to sell one case to a
nearby consumer to preserve. This
plan, when put into operation. the de-
partment believes. Will produce three
beneficial results. First, 1t will con-
serve supplies. Second. 1t will equal
ize distribution Third, 1t will tend to
stabilize prices.
The water-glass method Of preserve
ton Ii recommended or, where water
glass cannot be obtained. the lime-wa-
ter method. Only good. strictly fresh
eggs should be put down In water glass
or BY the lime-water method. Eggs
that are stale when packed will con-
tinue to deteriorate. You can secure

YANKEES RAID
 GERMAN LINES
 WITH SUCCESS

WITH THE AMERICANS. May 21..-The Americans in the sector northwest of Foul carried out sue cessful raid on the enemy trenches last night. A number of the Ger. mans were made prisoner. The Am erican boys waited until the dead of. night and slipped out across No Mans Land. Entering the trenches, they were successful in making a few of the enemy captives before they were discovered by any large force. As the number of Germans opposing the Americans became larger they were forced to retire to their own trenches. but not before they had left several calling cards in the shape of dead Huns. The raid was planned for the purpose of capturing prisoners and was car ried out by only small number of Americans.
 In an aerial engagement in the same vicinity as the raid of last night the American aviators routed the enemy planes and downed one machine. The Americans have been victors in several of these engage ments and have a number of the German planes to their credit.

U-BOAT SHELLS
 SPANISH SHIP,
 KILLING MANY

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 31.- Authentic reports have been re- ceived by the officials here of the smelling of the Spanish steamer Maria Pia in which the captain and many passengers were killed. There is no reason given for the smelling of the neutral steamer by the German submarine.
 The report does not state in what part of the ocean the shelling oc- cured. but Il is thought to be fairly close to the Spanish coast The vessel managed to reach Spain after experiencing a great deal of trouble.
 The steamer was shelled without the slightest warning. Several of the shells entered below the water line and inflicted quite a bit of damage. This was repaired, how ever. by the crew. enough to allow the boat to continue to Spanish port. There was a panic created among the passengers when the smelling commenced. and this is thought to have been the cause of a large number of the deaths. as they con. grekated on the decks. where they were more exposed to the gunfire
