 1919 Dozen Eggs.

Harrisburg, July 2.-In eight weeks the Harrisburg Egg Circle of Poinsett County has sold coop eratively 1919 dozen eggs, which netted the shippers from32 to 35 cents a dozen. The market price at Harrisburg has been improved from 20 to 30 cents a dozen. The sales for May totalled $256.S1 for 749 5-6 dozen eggs. There were 37 farmers and their wives shipped from less than two dozen to as many as 82 dozen eggs, The Harrisburg Egg Circle was organized by the County Agent who attributes the success of the members to the fact that they do not keep mOngrel stock they produce infertile eggs, provide clean nests, keep eggs in well dry ventilated place, away from strong odors, market only first-class candled egggs at least every three or four days.

Makes MoMney Growing Good
 Cattle.
 Brown Ferry, July 2.-The value of growing good cattle and dipping was demonstrated by c. H. Hit, of Brown Ferry when he shipped 101 head of steers to St. Louis averag- ing ITS pounds and which sold for 15.25 a pound. MT. Hit, who re- ceived check for S1s,144,l4 for his steers is a great believer in pure bred sires and says a good sire is really more than half the herd since he stamps his characteristics upon more individuals than the female. 1t pays to grow good animals and shows up in the fact that they take on more flesh for the amount of feed fed and consequently fatten more rapdly than scrubs.

1t looks and tastes precisely like sweet
milk. No one could know the difference
except by scalding it, when it will fail
10 produce the cream which rises in the
sweet milk. This skinned milk is sold
at 4 cents a quart and will meet the
needs OF those who cannot afford to buy
sweet milk which is sold at 10 cents a
quart; and in buying the skinned milk
you get miIk;more than a bottle of milk;
not milk diluted with water. dirty water
perhaps, bat the genuine article which is
being used by many who find it equal to
the unskimmed milk, and then so UGH
cheaper. Then there is buttermilk, or the
milk that remains after the butter has been
separated from the cream by churning.
lhere Is no more nutritious drink than
TINS, and 1t is recommended for rheuma-
tics many Of whom have derived won
derful benefits from it's use in stubborn
cases of rheumatism. Buffers liz is used
very extensively in certain parts of
Europe, Chiefly Hungary, in particular
Nlstrlcts OF which country the people
are specially iong-1iVe attributed to
the use d sourmilk. The dairy is
selling this article at 5 cents a quart.
In conclusion and in recommending
this new business to the community
CAGE more we feel that we can con
tIdently say that it goes a long way to-
wards bet ering a condition which pro-
baby affected a larger percentage of
the people than most systems we have
so long been accustomed to that their
defects are mistaken for virtues until
something lifts the veil and we recog-
nize improvement smiling at US.
1t is contemplated to have Mr.. P. L..
LaBega keep the dairy butter in his
cold storage when completed, and this
will NEAR nice hard butter at all times.

HOW THE PEACE WAS CELE-
DRAFTED.

When the Arristice between the AS
ISOLATED Powers and Germany was de-
clared it was thought advisab BILE to COM
memorate the remarkable event in a fit
ting fashion. The world had been drench-
ed in blood, belligerents and non b%elliger-
ents were heartily tired Of the martial
state which existed over the five contin-
ents, and when hostjlities between the
warning nations We're suspende q soldiers
as we'll as civilians Eel, relieved and join
ed heartily in the manifestations Of JOY
and Jubliari0n which came spontaneously
from the hearts Of mankind. He or she
who did not experience a thrill! Of glad
ness at the news that the lighting was
stopped must have been a peculia4 indi-
vidual indeed. We in Barbados in con
junction with other parts Of the Empire
became enthusiastic over the Armistice,
concluding that it signified a defeat for
Germany the most formidable of the
OppOnf ITS the Associated Powers had
had to contend with and a speedy re-
turn to normal life.
There was no mistaking the earnest
ness Of the enthusiasm exhib' ted by Gov
eminent and peoples at the time Of the
Armlstlce, and that great virtue Hope,
without which life would be dreary, babe
our spirits rise and look forward to a
state of peace and prosperity at no dis
tant cate. AS the weary months from
November to June dragged on without
producing any visible change ir condi-
TORS, doubts began TO be entertained as
to whether the Armistice was really a
prelude to peace. Theoretically it
appeared to be so, but it was not sus-
tanned practically. There were discus
sions between the conferees at the Peace
table, evasions by Germany of several
obligations imposedly clauses in the
Armistice, unrestrained profiteering
and what was very much deplored,
a perceptible drift by the work
ingmen in different countries to Bolshev-
ism.
Then came the time when the Peace
Treaty was presented for signature to
Germany. After many attempts to Sc
cure a modification of the draft Germany
eventually signed the document, and it
was thought by the British and French
that the occasion should also be commem-
Grated publicly.
In contrast with the celebration Of the
Armistice the commemoration of the
Peace signing developed into minor af-
fair, at all events, SO far as Barbados was
concerned. The idea seemed to have taken
hold Of the public that to celebrate the
