While consumers in Washington

L. B. H. Weld. manager of CONNER
cial research for Swift & Co., before

which is investigating the high price
of cold storage products.
The price paid for the eggs to a
farmer in Iowa. according to Mr..

ling, grading and spoilage, cents.
and profits Of storage and selling is
1 cent. This brings the total to As
cents a dozen, when the eggs reach
the Washington retailers.
Mr.. Weld estimated that 81 to 66
per cent of the retail price goes to
the farmer if eggs are sold at SO or
SO cents.
Mr.. Weld told the committee that

MEXICO EXPECTS LARGE
. influx OF IMMIGRANTS
Special Commission Planning Dis.
tribution and Homes for Many
From Europe and Asia.

MEXICO CITY, August (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
How to make homes for a million
prospective new colonists. how to
make these persons fit into the scheme
of life here and how best to distribute
them over the republic are questions
of immigration receiving the atten-
tion of a special commission appoint
ed by President CarranZa.
According to data collected by this
committee on articles Of first neces-
sity 1000. 900 persons will migrate
from various European and Asiatic
countries TO Mexico within the next
year.
They are expected to leave their
native lands because OF disrupted
conditions due to the war.
Colonies Forming Now.
Communications received here from
England. France. Germany and Rus
sia indicate that colonies of those
nationals are already being formed
and will embark for Mexico at an
opportune moment.
Luis Ludert y Rul, president Of the
investigating committee. has been
quoted as saying that Mexico well
comes all dependable colonists.
May Get Land Grants.
The committee has made no an
nouncement IS to the location of the
various colonies: whether they are
to receive grants of land or are to
be assimilated among the natives. 1t
is believed. however, that there is
sufficient undeveloped land in the re-
public to accommodate all homeseek-
ers and that equitable distribution
will be made as occasion demands.
Lower California at present appears
to be the goal OF large number OF
repatriated Mexicans who for the past
few years have been living in the
United States. Ell Democratic asserts
that within the next few months 5000
new Mexican families will be estab-
lished there.

Believe Retailers Profiteer.

While the packers and other big cor
porate interests may be responsible for
a general boosting Of prices throughout
tho country. the members Of the Dis
trict committees have been told that
retail dealers here have been prodteer-
ing. The Federal Trade Commission
report on the high prices Of shoes made
it plain that the commission had found
the retail dealers making exorbitant
profits. The testimony of a commercial
expert for one Of the packers before the
House committee on agriculture showed
exactly what it cost to buy eggs from
farmers in Iowa and to deliver them to
the retailer in Washington-45 cents at
a time that the consumer was being
charged IS and so cents.
These two instances are a matter of
record before Congress, and members Of
the House committee say they can pro-
duce similar testimony along other lines.

BLIND INVENTOR
Former Rochester Boy, an Inventive
Genius and Now Has Method to
Salvage Ships

Frederick w. Prendergast, former
ly of Rochester, now of Cambridge
Mass, has an apparatus which its in
ventor asserts promises to recover
any sunken ship that can be located
Blind since youth he believes he has
solved a method for salvageing ships
The principal of the invention is en-
bodied in an expansible cradleformed
by air-tight infiatable bags, engaged
with a weighted cable, which can be
| lowered into positions around the
submerged hull and confined there by
a locking device. When inflated the
bags adjust themselves closely to the
sides of the hull, lifting it upward 10
the surface. These bags, or pontoons
are made of any inflatable material
such as heavy canvas, made air-tight
and water-tight with rubber, and in
any size needed. Each bag is pro-
jected within a fabric sheath woven
from heavy cord or rope, through the
lower edge of which the cable passes
A spiral weave with unit of rope is
used to give strength to the sheath
Tubes are provided for admitting air
The inventor points out wherein q
cradle formed OF yielding pontoons
possesses notable advantages for this
purpose over those made of metal
Ordinarily huge steel cylinders have
to be towed into position over the

then pumped out before air can be
forced in. Divers often find it mat.
ter of extreme difficulty and danger
to harness them up to the wreck, anc
months may be consumed in the task
1t adds to the interest of these in,
ventions that the man who worked
them out has been blind almost since
boyhood. In spite of that handicap
Frederick w. Prendergast has done
a great deal of mechanical work. He
went to Massachusetts from Vermont
about 20 years ago. His early life
was spent on farm near Rochester
where later he built and, for a number
Of years, operated saw mill, getting
out lumber and shingles. Whenever
short of help, he was able to run the
saws and planer himself and to take
care of them, doing his own filing and
setting. 1t is considered quite diff
cult to set planer, since the knives
have to be very exact in order to do
smooth work.

Sky illumination Caused Alarm

Sunday evening in Bennington ev
eryone that noticed the UNUSUAL!
ruddy glow in the sky wondered
where the fire was that caused sucf
an illumination. Many could ever
smell smoke.
North Adams people were frantical-
ly telephoning into Bennington anx-
iously inquiring if that village were
being consumed by fire. Citizens in
Bennington the same time were
specializing as to what place north OF
west could be burning with such
fierceness as to cause the rudy glow.
Next morning many thought the
mystery solved when they learned of
the serious fire in Troy Sunday af-
ternoon, but that was raging most
fiercely from to A o'clock and was
out before dark. So the Troy fire
could not have been the cause.
Besides, the same phenomena was
observed throughout western Massa-
chusetts and in places north of Troy
in New York state. People in Spring
field were telephoning to Holyoke and
inquiries were sent out from that city
to Northampton concerning the mys-
terry. Information was asked in many
other places, but every time it was
asked from a place almost directly
north.
The mystery is solved. The red
glow to the north of every place here
abouts was the Aurora Borealis, one
of Natures phenomena.
The red glow spread upward from
the northwestern horizon nearly to
the zenith, at first as a steady glow,
but later with more shifting to the
display. These northern lights were
SO different from those usually seen
that the cause being attributed to a
large but distant fire was very nat
ural. 1t was beautiful display of
colorings and now that it is known
that there was no destruction con-
nected with it, its beauty, as remem
bered, can be more readily appreciat-
ed

HOME TOWN SPIRIT.

TRADE goes by favor is old saying If a man makes
effort to throw business advantages in the way of his
neghbors, he not expect that they will show much
interest in his prosperity Yet great many people who
dependent the industries of this town for their
success will buy in other city, merely because they
think they going to margin of few cents The
chances that if they give their alleged bargains the
home store they would pay down good money for
them But that is another story.
When you buy goods away from home, you cut your
selves loose from the business interests of the home town.
You declare that you have nothing to gain by the friend
ship of your neghbOrs the prosperity of your
muny. On the purely sentimental side, has little
admiration for this lack of town spirit There is an ee-
ment of dooyalty in refusing to help build up the COM
munity that provides you your home and the comforts
and converiences of civilization.
But laying aside all questions of sentiment why not
consider the advantages of making business friends at
home? Every time you buy goods in home store you
create personal relation that may be very profitable
This particularly the where you have anything
sell at home The who gets your patronage becomes
personally Interested in you you in business here
the spirit of reciprocity prompts him to paronizc your
establishment Even if you work for salary or wages
the relations you create in the home stores by patron
ing the home dealer, may be exceedingly valuable in some
future exigency The to whom you have given your
trade becomes your friend and if he can find some way
to throw favors in your direction he will be glad to do it
