SELF-STARTERS

Two men were talking OF automo-
biles. One said, II would get Ford
il it was equipped with a reliable
self-starter, but | don't relish this
cranking proposition.
We all prefer a self-starter, wheth-
er 1T be an automobile or an individ-
ual. Amy autoist who finds, on at
tempting to start his car, that the
battery has laid down exhausted. ap.
preciates forcibly the merit of the
elf-starter as contrasted With a
cranking machine. Likewise those
who have had experience with the two
varieties Of people, the self-startrs
and the crankers, are unqualifiedly in
favor of the former.
A man of the self-starting type is
always ready; not requiring to be la
bored with in the way of mental
cranking when the necessity for &C
tion arises. Every community has
men and women, Of this character,
whose inertia does not have to be ov-
ercome by the exertions Of others.
In reading history it is seen that
the man and races who conquered did
not require cranking in order to be
set in motion; but their mental and
physical mechanism began to revolve
the instant the starter switch-pedal
was pushed, and they went forward
with momentum which swept aside
all opposition.
Ancient Rome at the time Of the
domination of the then knowr
world was a, nation Of self-starters
and no cranking was necessary Il
start them in the way Of conquest.
Some people are starters wher
there is work to be done, but self
starters in the matter of grumbling
thus using a good thing in the wron,
! direction.

TAKE CARE OF
SUMMER PRODUCTS

The warm season is at hand. and
there is need of care In handling eggs
and other products of the farm, says
the State Marketing Bureau. Green
and ripe vegetables and fruits soon
feel the effects of being exposed to
sunlight and heat.
Ordinarily to the consumer dozen
eggs means twelve eggs, all edible,
but if by chance or design the dozen
includes an egg more or less ancient
it is reported to the retailer, who
either replaces 1t or washes his hands
with the remark that he cannot help
it or that he bought it that way.
The New York wholesale markets,
and even the jobbing markets, are
discriminating. Unlike Boston where
the brown egg is most desired. trade
prefers the white egg. And, white
means chalk white and not pink or
blue white.
About one and one-half billion doZ
ems of eggs are produced in the
United States annually. Approximate
ly one-tenth of this production, or
15O,OOO,O 900 dozens, are received an
nually in New York City.
If all the eggs produced in New
York state were sent to New York
city, they would total less than half
of the number consumed by that grea.
city. Less than 10 per cent Of the
supply Of eggs required for Greater
New York are produced within the
state; the remainder come from other
states, while frozen eggs are shipped
in from all parts of the whole world,
China alone sending about 100000
dozens.
| Dggs are very thoroughly classified
and graded in the New York market
There are five classes. New York
state eggs, and four classes of out
side state eggs, the latter divided a.
into fresh gathered eggs" with sew
en- grades: (2) held eggs" with five
grades; (3) refrigerator eggs" with
six grades, and (4) lined eggs with
three grades.
Millions Of dozens of eggs are an.
Irually lost by washing. Water re.
moves from the she'll gelatinous
covering which helps to keep all
from the pores and prevents germs
from entering and spelling the con
tents, ALI washed eggs should b.
used at home and not shipped. Eggs
shipped to distant markets should b,
candled.
