bought which will keep all cutting
tools in good order? If there is any
one thing which will cause one to use
strong language it is a dull carving
knife.
A tray to remove food and dishes
from the dining table or to carry it to
the table is a great saving of steps.
If one cannot afford to- buy a wheeled
tray or tea wagon get the handy man
to make you one, using the small
wheels from an old gocart. A wire
dish drainer is light and can be used
as a tray if no other is at hand, for it
is easy to carry.
Paper or wooden trays or plates
make fine dishes to use in the ice box,
for they do not break and may be re-
newed often at little expense.
Paper of all kinds saves dish wash
ing. Wipe out the greasy dishes with
a piece of soft paper before putting
them into the dish water. Keep the
table wiped up with paper, saving the
dishcloth for stains and grease.
A kitchen table covered with zinc or
some hard surface that does not need
securing to keep clean is a most neces-
sary kitchen convenience. Some good
scales, Il good clock, Il kitchen cabinet
with everything at hand to use In
cookery, are all necessary equipment.

It becomes rough and stains easily.
Have a stool that will slip under
the table when not needed and use 1t
to sit on while preparing vegetables
or doing many kinds of work. 1t will
be found a great saving on tired feet.
One can learn to wash and wipe dishes
and iron sitting on a stool. Have a

FAIR OFFICIALS
ANTICIPATING
LAWLESSNESS
Mercer County Event Promises no
Repetition of Crime Expert
enced for Several Years.

For the last two years there has
been no serious crime reported
during fair week. Will 1919 see the
charm broken?
Will the next few weeks, during
the latter five days of which Mercer
county people will make merry at
their annual feature, disclose
murder?
In 1915, Clarence S. David, a
Jockey, was shot and killed by w.
F. Myer, another jockey, following
a quarrel Evidence submitted at the
coroner's inquest showed that Myer
fired in self defense and he was
freed. The shooting occurred in
stall in the horse barns on Friday.
1t was on the following year that
the crime that brought much and
widespread notoriety to Mercer
county was committed On the
opening day Tuesday, Mrs. Emma
Larkin of Davenport, was murder
ed in stall under the amphlshea-
tre. In order to keep the crime a
secret the Woman's body was pack
ed in a trunk, in which condition
the remains were transported from
the fair grounds to the railway
station and shipped out. Just east or
Biggsville the body was taken from
the trunk and thrown from the
train. For preparation of this deed
Bert Sapp of Monmouth and Mike
Ferguson of Galesburg were later
arrested and convicted
Fair weeks of 1917 and 1918 were
celebrated without disturbance,
but Jockey racing was barred from
the grounds by the board of direct
ors of the fair association and more
stringent watch was maintained
upon those who sought to gain ad-
mission. Many undesirable char
acters were turned back at the gate
and quietly advised to leave town
with a gentle but firm admonitlon
to never return.
Although this year larger crowds
are anticipated than ever before
no trouble is expected by c. G.
Lutrell. chief of fair police. Il
am convinced that the week will
pass without serious disturbance"
said Mr.. Lutrell. Il am basing my
opinion upon the unusual record
by Mercer county peo-
ple who have already participated
in two great gatherings this year
without instance of lawlessness re-
ported" The ex-sheriff referred
to Mercer county's welcome home
day, July %, when fully $4,000 peo-
ple gathered at the fair grounds,
and the very recent circus day.

DEALERS MUST
CANDLE EGCS;
Get LICENSES
State Law Is In Effect To Protect
Producer of Good Stock From
His NeighbOr.

Rock Island retailers and whole
salers of eggs have received no
tice that the state law passed by
the last Illinois legislature provid-
ing for licenses for the sale OF
eggs, is in effect
The law provides and makes it
mandatory that all eggs must be
candled. Although in effect since
July 1, prosecutions for violating
the state regulation will not be
made until after Nov. 1. The pur-
pose of the law is threefold. First,
it increases the market value of
the eggs to the producer. Second.
it insures all subsequent dealers
that their money is invested in an
edible food product Third, and
very important, it insures the con-
samer that he is going to get a
darger per cent of good, edible food
product for his money invested.
A reading of the law sent in cir
culars to merchants, says:
''The only fair and adequate way
IS for all handlers of eggs to pay
for the good eggs. 1t is manifest
ly unfair to the man who is pro-
ducing good eggs that his neigh
Dor who is careless and has some
bad eggs, should receive the same
price as his careful neighbor. And
this applies TO all subsequent re-
ceivers and handlers. The Illi-
nois law is mandatory. II means
that the hucksters as we'll as the
country merchant must candle and
pay for only the good eggs.
"On and after Nov. /, 1919, every
person, firm or corporation who
buys eggs from producers and sells
eggs to other merchants, dealers
sQr for storage or shipment, shall
hfSt obtain a license therefor
ut is against the law to sell rot
ten eggs in this state; nor are they
permitted in interstate commerce,
The only way that a rotten or low
grade egg can be detected without
breaking the shell is |by Gambling.
Eggs that can be shipped are
fresh eggs, slightly shrunken or
stale eggs, small hatch spots, weak
or summer eggs, olive yolk eggs
and cracked eggs. Eggs which
should be sold nearby are large
hatch spots, heavily shrunken eggs,
settled yolks and leaking eggs.
Eggs which cannot be sold or ship
ped in this state or in interstate
commerce are black rOts, mixed
rots, white rots or added eggs,
blood rings, struck yolks. moldy
eggs and eggs with bloody whites"
