RHYME DEAFNESS
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 Everybody writes poetry nowadays and nearly everybody has a defective ryhme sense, it appears from the bushels of verse that come under our observation. It is amazing how many people are tone blind or rhyme blind. To most of them the shibboleth is words that end in I'm
 and "n,'' respectively, but have similar vowel sounds. They can't seem to realize
 that, for example, "can" and ham do
 not rhyme And we have just read some
 verses by a perfectly well educated wo-
 man, who attempts to rhyme throttle
 and mortal" and fiber and either.
 Many poets get by with such imperfect
 rhymes as roar" and war" and sword
 and word but. unless they have some thing important in matter to say, tho manner sticks out like a sore thumb l Emerson often rhyIned by sight and not by ear-as great" with feat" for in : stance-but Ralph Waldo usually had ! something to say that made his manner subordiate to his matter. But what's the use of talking about the mechanics 1 of the poets trade? When person is 1 moved to song he will sing, regardless | of all prosody, rhyme, scansion. Besides, the literary bolshevis1n of free verse gives US all leeway,r now. If only wed l stick to it and not attempt the verse or form until we know that game

new EGG GRADING
SYSTEM GOES INTO
EFFECT THIS WEEK
Eggs Must Be Plainly Stamped
!: As To Quality; Protection
). For Consumers.

:: st. Paul, Mimi. July 29.--The old
order Of "eggs is eggs is to pass in
minnesota, according to H. J. Holm
berg, state commissioner of agricul-
ture. with the introduction this week
of new egg regulations ordered by
the state department to promote fair
dealing in eggs aud to increase the
market value of the Minnesota egg
crop.
:; The subject of bulletin No. l is
sued by the new department of agri-
culture. the egg regulations were
adopted after series of conference
with producers, dealers and commits
sion men, also federal agents.
: "Only such regulations have been
adopted as will tend to place the egg
business on quality basis and, in
this manner, secure the Minnesota
farmer the best price for his pro-
duct" Commissioner HOlmberg ex-
planned. THE restrictions are not
intended in any way to prevent the
free traffic in eggs, by honest buyers,
but to place the business on a basis
where quality will be recognized and
loss will be eliminated. Producers,
dealers and consumers should bene-
fit alike under the scheme for grad
ing eggs as wheat is graded but on
a simpler plan.'
Eggs are classed as fresh
gathered" held" refrigerator
and "processed," in the new state
regulations, and are graded as
'*firsts,' seconds "dirties .
.*checks" and rejects each class
and grade being defined in the bulle-
tin. Rules are given to govern the
packing, shipping and storage of
eggsI together with detailed miscel-
laneous and suggestions for the care
Of eggs.
y Copies of the regulations, which
will have the effect of law. may be
obtained from the state agricultural
department at the capitol, St. Paul.

BY United Press, J

Helena, Mont, July 29.-The Mon
tana legislature opened a special ses-
sion here today to enact emergency
legislation necessary because of the
drouth.
Governor S. V. Stewart, in his mes
sage to the legislature, briefly out
lined the serious situation confront
ing both stOckmen and agriculturists
Old residents of Montana declare
there has never before been such
serious drouth in the state. Thou
sands of sheep and cattle have been
marketed thin because the ranchers
were unable to pay for their transfer
to grass lands or for feed to keep
them from starving. Crops have been
seriously affected. In many cases,
the reduction in freight rates to re-
lieve the situation came too late.
Much stock literally starved.
Whole trainload of cattle and
sheep have been shipped east for for
age. In some cases, the legislators
learned, stockmen were unable to pay
transportation and were forced to
dispose of their stock at low prices
In other cases. ranchers were given
credit and their Stock transferred but
they will sustain a serious loss any
way. ~.
Ratification Of the federal suffrage
amendment is expected to be one Of
the first steps of the legislature. De-
spite defeat Of the first woman con-
gressman-Jeanette Rankin, who
ran for senator last year-Montana
is expected to ratify the suffrage
measure with little debate.
Governor Stewart has also asked
the legislature to amend the road and
highways laws, governing the high
way commission and the county COM
missioners in the building and i'm
movement of roads The session is
not expected to last more than a
Naek or ten days.
