NEW EGG PRESERvER
Topeka Firm Has Process To Keep
Them Fresh indefinitely.

Processed eggs. guaranteed not to
ripen, will be the achievement of the
Colytic Egg & Produce Co. recently
incorporated by Thomas P. Sage. Glen

Brunt and v. B. Warnock
"Colytic" means to prevent, to him
der. The company will put the eggs
thru processes that will make it pos
sible for them to be kept for many
months. They claim the process is
the result of twenty years of expert
menting.
The firm has a letter from w. A.
Lippincott, head of the department of
poultry husbandry of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, stating that
on September 20, three dozen co1ytic
treated eggs were placed in Lippin-
colts office and left there until jan
uary 20. 1919, in a temperature close
to 20 degrees most of the time. On
that date two of them were examined

ALLOW STORAGE FEE
Mohler Would Offer Inducements to
Farmers To Hold Grain.

Kansas wheat growers may be al
lowed storage charges for holding
their wheat if the federal grain COM
mission approves a suggestion by ]. c.
Mohler. secretary of the state board
of agriculture. Mohler has asked that
the storage fee of to cents a month
be allowed whether the grain is held
on the farm or in the elevators.
1t is the purpose of the secretary of
the state board to induce farmers to
stack their wheat and not rush it to
market. A heavy marketing of grain
Immediately following threshing will
send millions of bushels to mills and
elevators of other states. The enor-
nous crop in prospect, however, will
keep the Kansas mills and elevators
busy many months if the market is
not glutted with early shipments.
Secretary Mohler believes the danger
of an early rush of the Kansas grain
to the markets will be largely over
come If a storage fee is allowed the
farmers.

With Builders Again, However.
Freeman J. Rohde. government
conciliator, who came to Topeka Sum
day, to find out what the carpenters
strike was about, was unable to bring
about compromise. Both sides seem
inclined to stand pat.
The carpenters won't hammer a
nail or saw a board unless they are
paid a salary of rs cents an hour.
Rohde, however, expects to be able
to iron out the proposition eventually.
He WV return again Wednesday for a
meeting to be held between representa-

ter builders at Spencer's office in the
Mulvane building at o'clock in the
evening.
What will be done at that meeting,

To some extent the stimulating ef
fect OF the doubling of the Electric Stor-
age Battery dividend to IN 8 per cent
per annum basis was counterbalanced
by the unsettling influence Of the vio-
lent fluctuations today in the New York
market. Altogether the local market
stood up well against. the unexpected
SQUALLS which hit the bigger exchange.
There was naturally a slowing down of
operations as result Of cautiousness
which developed in all quarters, but the
erect, as far as prices were concerned,
was slight.
Interest in the initial dealings logi-
cally centered around Electric Storage
Battery, as there was considerable di-
versity of opinion among the local in
terests whether the recent big rise in
the stock had discounted the doubling
OF the dividend. The action of the
board was generally commended, in that
it was believed the increased distribu-
tiou to the stockholders was fully war =
ranted by; the rapidly mounting profits
of the company the last few years.
About 15 per cent was earned on the
stock in 1917 and "a per cent in 1918.
In each of these two years IL per cent
was shown after deduction of taxes.
The company has paid per cent divi :
dends since 1910.

New York, Sept. 4.-Today's market
was heavily charged with cross cur
rents. These developed with surprising
il not alarming rapdity Immediately
following the opening, producing wide
and at intervals violent gyrations in
price movements. The entire forenoon
was marked by the widest trading
witnessed on the floor Of exchange in
a number of years. The radical and
fevcrish reversals of the market trend
provoked no end of confusion, making
execution of orders extremely difficult.
This confusing and excited surface
appearance Of the market gave every
evidence of a vigorous contest for con-
troll. with the strength of the COntosting
forces about equally divided. It might
bc summed up as battle of the big
gamblers. In all events, it was a market
for tho little fellow to let seriously
alone. Nothing in the overnight de-
velopmpnts or morning news, nor any
thing in the general situation could ac
count for the highly erratic perform
ancc. The trend was at all times en-
tircly governed by technical influences.
The signal for the hippodromc ap-
parently was given in the pressure
which suddenly developed against Cru
ciblc steel although some observers
claimed the root Of the upheaval was
furnished in the wide open break in
keystone Tire. Crucblc Steel, after
