Test Strength of Fruit Baskets

To make sure that the largest pos
sible proportion Of next seasons
shipments Of tomatoes and peaches
will reach the consumer in an undam-
aged condition, the Forest Service has
been making some practical strength
tests at the Forest Products Labora-
tory of a new six basket crate for
these perishable commodities. The
tests are made at the requests Of the
Bureau Of Markets and the Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Association of the
South and East The crates, packed
as though for shipment, are subjected
to a series Of drops and strains, such
as might be experienced in actual
transportation, to discover the weak
feature Of the design. 1t has been
found that the crates themselves can
stand more rough handling than the
inner baskets, and an effort will be
made, therefore, to provide means for
holding the baskets more rigidly. BY
building up and testing various modi-
flcati0nS of the original crate, it is
hoped that in short time n six
basket containcr can be produced
which will be practically equally
strong in all parts.

Show How to Gull Poultry.

Vermont county agents conducted
13l poultry culling demonstrations,
with tota. attendance Of 2,G55 peo-
pie during the fall Of 1918. The
flocks culled numbered G22,G20 birds
being handled by the demonstrator
and people in attendance. OF this
number 1851 birds, or III per cent,
were discarded as "boardcrs. AS a
result of the campaign work sc farm
ers went through their nocks, aggre-
eating 7,45d birds, and culled 1884,
or 39.1 per cent. This result indi-
Gates the influence and immediate and
definite benefits Of such demonstra-
tions.

DISCLOSE SECRET TREATIES

Peking, Feb. 15.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-Premier Chin Hun-H -Hsun,
under instructions from President Hsu
Shih-Chang, yesterday sent dis
patch to the Chinese peace delegates
instructing them to disclose to the
peace conference the Shantung rail
way agreement and other secret
agreements with Japan. 1t is re-
ported that the President is encoun-
tering opposition from his pro-Japan-
ese cabinet at every step.
The Japanese are said to desire the
publicity of the Shantung agreement,
in the hope that the conference will
recognize its validity while the Chi
nese hope that as the agreement has
not been ratified and 1t would give
Japan permanent position in Shan
tung, the conference will recognize
its injustice

ROAD BUILDING IS SLOW
Less Than Forty-Five Miles Unaer
Federal Aid Plan.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Although
Congress has appropriated $48,500,-
600 to assist the States in road build
ing and the government has approy-
ed 760 projects, embracing total of
1859 miles, less than forty-five miles
of highway have been constructed
under the federal aid plan. These
figures were made public tonight by
the Department Of Labor. as part of
its campaign to stimulate revival of
public works construction as an Of
set to unemployment.
Admitting that road materials and
labor cost are high, the department
asserted that the expense of road
building to the State will not be pro-
hibitive, because the federal appro-
priations will cover one-half.

Uncle Sam Sells His "Varmint" Skins

Uncle Sam Sells His "Varmint" Skins
The money a farmer gets for wild
animal skins is always a compare
lively small sum, representing de-
cidedly minor side-line. But Uncle
Sam received 100000 last year as the
price of the wild-animal skins he had
taken during the year as by-prod-
uct of just one phase of his agricul-
tural opcrations-the war against
predatory animals on the range land
of the West. The killing of the ami
mails from which the skins were taken
will result in the saving of millions
of dollars worth of live stock to the
sheep and cattle men of the range
country. The predatory-animal ex-
termination work is done by the Bu-
reau of Biological Survey of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. Expert
hunters and trappers are employed.
The skins of all the animals they
capture or kill must be sold and the
money turned into the United States,
Treasury. Nor are the hunters or
trappers permitted to accept bounties.
But there is not the same temptation
in that respect that there used to be,
for since the Government hunters and
trappers have been con the job" their
work has been so obviously success
full that the States either already have
done away with the old bounty sys-
tenn or are planning to do so. The
money formerly paid out in bounties
is being appropriated in many States
for cooperative work with the De-
partment Of Agriculture, with many
fold better results as to number Of
predatory animals destroyed.

WHALE MEAT FOoD FOR SAP

TOXIC, Jan. Whale meat has
appeared on bills fare in European
countries and in America during the
war, but in Japan it has been food
for hundreds Of years.
The capture Of whales in nets and
the ceremonies and feasting which
followed have been matter Of inter.
est in japanese history.
When the harpoon gun and steam
whaling vessel made their appearance
in European waters, the Japs were
quick to adopt the new methods Of
whaling.
Men, women and children join
in laughing confusion in the opera
tion of cutting up a whale brought
ashore. If one slips on the greasy
boards and falls in pool Of blood,
she laughs with the rest, wipes of
the splotches and goes merrily on as
if on holiday

OLD TIMERS Celebrate
Seventh Annual Banquet of Pioneers
Liveliest in History Of the
Organization
No Oil of Joy Flowed. But the Well.
Known $3.50" Seemed TO
Serve Purpose

Twenty-six members OF the Old
Timers Association. composed Of
men who have seen thirty years or
more Of residence in Luna county,
met in annual session at Julius
Rosch's home on South Gold avenue
and enjoyed a banquet that made up
in sparkle what it lacked in old-time
fluid conviviality. II is n custom Of
the old timers organization to meet
each year with their president. Mr..
Rosch was elscted president at their
banquet at the Harvey house last
spring.
Members at the banquet were Jas.
II. Tracy, J. A. Mahoney, s. Lind
auer, B. Y. Mckeyes, Edward Pen
nington. Frank Delaney, Sr., Frank
Delaney. Jr.. N. A. Bolich. Frank
Wyman, Walter Birchfeld, Arthur

Flesham, J. d. Todhunter, Ben Lar
sen. J. q. Headrick, Harry Wb.tehill.
s. II. Matthews.
John Stinson, George LETTER and
Otto Leopold were the only members
absent. Henry Raithel, Albert Field
and Walter Birchfield were present at
their first meeting. having arrived ut
the thirty-year eligibility mark since
last years meeting.
Members who have died in the past
year were Joseph McGrorty and John
Corbett
The meeting was the most lively
and generally successful in the his
tory Of the organization, which came
into being seven years ago, their first
banquet being at the Rosch home. At
that time only those who were resi-
dents Of the county prior to 1883 were
admitted to membership, but as death
thnned their ranks this was amended
to thirty years residence, which will
keep the ranks recruited as long as
the organization sees fit to continue. |
The entire absence Of any liquid joy |
seemed to have no effect whatever on
the veterans, some of whom carried |
on in perfectly outrageous manner, |
it is said, leading some to inquire /
what sort of qualities are now to be
found in the famous 5000" One
effect it certainly had and that was to
inspire frequent outbursts of joyful
song. in which the whole company
J. A. Mahoney led these
efforts, and he and b.
Y. McKeyes, Walter Brchfeld and
Jim Tracy particularly distinguished
themselves by their sweet singing.
Walter Birchfield also entertained
with narrative discourse on his adj
ventures of early days when he was
adept at the use of a
siX-shooter.
A year ago a local photographer
began the taking of photographs of
all the members of the Old Timers
Association. many Of which are auto
yraphed and now bound in an album
At the chamber of commerce. The
lie is not complete, however.
JAS. Tracy presided a. toastmaster
n place of Edward Pennington, the
secretary. Following the banquet
he following officers were elected for
he ensuing year;
Edward Pennington, president; J.
\. Mahoney and B. Y. McKeyes, vice
Presidents.
The next meeting will be held Mar.
4, 1920, at the home Of Edward Pen
lington. !
