BROTHERS OF. FOOD SOUGHT BY
 THE GOVERNMENT

In view of the narrow margin of safety, said to surround certain Con- recticut wholesale commission houses and consignees of potatoes and other perishables, the Federal Food Admin istration has given out the two fol- lowing instances of what happens to profiteers and wanton wasters of food in other states.
 ''The United States Food Admins tration has closed the business of B. Baff & Son, New York poultry and egg dealers, and of three other firms in which Baff was active. Profteer- ing and speculation in eggs led to the revocation of all four licenses. Ths curb concerns comprised a little fam fly trading group which was used to boost the price of eggs and add few extra sources of profit between their receipt and final disposition. None of the Baff concerns will be allowed to do business so long as the Food Control Act remains in effect.
 Failure to accept or reject two carloads of potatoes and allowing them to freeze in the railroad yards, caused the Weiner Fruit and Pro- duce Co.,. Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to lose it's food license.
 For more than a week the cars stood in the yards and after more than half the potatoes spoiled, the company notified the consignors that it would not accept the shipment. For these offenses the Food Admins tration ordered the Weiner Co. to close it's business February 23."

ST. PATRICK

Among the ancient heroes of the church none enjoys a more genuine popularity than St. Patrick. Those who wear the green on his own day include many others than those that originated on the "ould sod.' St. Pat rick's Day means something more than the memory of any one man. 1t is sentimental celebration for powerful race strain in our American melting pot
 The old saint himself was typical of the race that acknowledges him as patron saint. He was an aggressive old churchman. When he came over Ireland was heather and he left it Christian, founding 365 churches and baptizing 12,000 people with his own hands.
 That indicates man of tireless energy. This quality has always been an Irish characteristic. Very few loafers are found among this peo- pie. The first pioneers in their mil grafton to America lived the most humble life. Wearing picturesque red shirts, they built our railroads while the old time Americans looked on rather superciliously.
 In spite of all difficulties and much toilsome labor, the Irish people for many years came over in great num- bers. Their little homes were usu- ally surrounded by flowers, the sign of an imaginative and hopeful race. By and by the new generation began to appear in our schools and in our business and politics. Always they were a force to be reckoned with. They have been hard fighters, fearing not hard knocks, but loyal friends and with generous hearts.
 The good humor with which they have met the toll and conflict of life is a splendid gift of temperament. Their tireless energy has contributed a big share to our industrial progress. So hats off to St. Patrick and the friendly followers who wear the green.

GERMAN GRATITUDE.

When the German army invaded Belgium, German diplomatic inter ests were in the hands of Brand Whitlock, United States Minister. In one evening four thousand frantic Germans besieged the American Le- gation for passports and transporta- ton to German territory.
 "As we went down the stairs on our way out" writes MT. Whitleck, in the February Everybody's, there in the hall, we saw a woman in tears; her husband a German, was with her and he sat there in dumb, Teutonic mel anchoIy. They had with them lit tie boy with golden curls, one of the prettiest children I ever saw, with tn esweet face of one of Rafaefs cherubs, who looked up inquiringly into his mothers sad face.
 "At sight of men the woman sprang forward and seized my hand, as though I were her last refuge in the world, and with such sobs and lamentations as might break heart fell on her knees, refusing to let go my hand and dragging on tragically toward me on her knees. I felt the embarrassment of one of our race 1T such a predicament tore my hand away, picked up the pretty baby and kissed him, and left-we had to get tc that meeting-the woman draggins after me all the way to the door.
 When I reached home I learned that my wife and the mothers and Miss Larner had taken the little boy upstairs and played with him al evening until MT. Gibson, Secretary of the American Legation, took the little family away in the motor tc the Cirque Royale, where they as sembled the Germans who were to gt out on the refugee train that night had a vision of that bright, brett! innocent little child, and the littl' family whirled away in the grea whirlpool into darkness-to wha fate? We should never know, said | never see any of them again. ..
 "But we did. A few days after tn Germans had established themselve in Brussels, the father of the brett. little boy took a room near MT. GiD sons apartment in the Rue St. Boni face and, in his quality of Germal spy, watched MT. Gibson's ever, movement"

INTERNATIONAL EGG CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs shelled out 3,660 eggs in the eighteenth week. This is a yield of a little over 52 per cent, is nearly 400 eggs better than for last week, and is by far the biggest yield in any one week since the contest opened last November. Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds were the only two breeds to make the honor roll in the eigh- teenth week. A Canadian pen of Rocks entered by Tom J. Adamson. Laurel, Quebec, and a. Long Island pen entered by Jules F. Francais of West Hampton Beach were in first and third with 54 and 50 eggs respectively. Two Massachusetts pens Of Rhode Island Reds entered by Richard Allen of Pittsfield and Charles H. Lane of Southboro were in second and fourth | lively.
 As the output of newly laid eggs the next few weeks, the price natural | increases as it is obliged to do for | ly eases off a little. The season for | preserving eggs for home use will soon be at hand. A year ago the man. agement of the contest was besieged with inquiries for eggs to be preserved in water glass for use when the price is high. Unfortunately the laying con- test could supply very few eggs for this purpose. It is, however, believed, 1 that those interested in the preserva- = ton of eggs in this way can secure a suitable product by inquiring Of their 1 LNrr, + Inc project to be undertaken the matter of preserving should be planned be- forehand, and there is now ample time | to do this as the price will probably be lowest in April and May and not only this, but these are the very best eggs to preserve. If one waits until too late in the summer, say June or July, the eggs do not keep so well, and another thing, a rise in price is likely | to set in about that time.
 | The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
