FARMERS SHOULD STORE EGGS
WHEN PRODUCTION is HIGH
When Placed on I he Market They
Should Be in Perfect Condition as
Testers Reveal Presence of Slight
est Blemish in Product

The opportu nifty Of the farmer to
control the price of eggs is unlimited.
This may be accomplished by storing
the eggs on the farm at that season
when production is high, and by pro-
ducing a strictly first class article and
marketing the eggs in a condition that
will insure them going into the hands
Of the consumes fresh and wholesome.
There are anumber of methods for
storing eggs on the farm; one is the
ordinary water glass method, another
is lime water, another salt and then
there are the patented personalities
that are on the market at this time.
For the patented methods, such as
Fresh Eggs Keep rFleming Egg
P reserver," ETC., it is necessary that
eggs be kept in a dry place and cool
as possible. But the dry condition is
more essential than the cool condition.
Eggs stored in damp places are likely
to mold. Eggs should be infertile when
stored but if they are gathered prompt
ly fertile eggs will keep perfectly If
stored under proper conditions.
Producer Best Fitted.

producer. He may market the eggs
in the winter time when storage eggs
are on the market and nus realize the
increase in price that is usually en-
joyed by the storage companies, and
at the same time will have the effeci
of maintaining a high market condi
ton at the time when egg production
is the greatest.
/ If the farmers do not care to stor'
: thier eggs and are determined to plac'
p them on the market it will pay to co
operate and ship in case lots to SOM
distant market such as Spokane, Sc
attic, Butte or Portland. But II mus
always be borne in mind that in orde

necessary to ship a strictly first elias

Army Stores Of Food Are Sold at Cost
Yet Scarcely Anyone Is interested
BY EARL GOODWIN.

Will some kindly arise and explain why the sale oe
army food through the Postofce Department is faurel
month ago, when the hubbub over the II. G.. L. was
deafenng and there great camor to have hundred
million dollars worth Of army food distributed at cost the
general public seemed to believe that once this enormous
supply OF food distributed there would be considerable
ease and comfort for the family pocketbook and larder
And NOW the postmaster tells Us that so few people
pay any attention to the fact that they get army food s
cost through the posoffce that the sale is likely to be
stopped. anyone explain why in the midst of one
of the costest living since the world began people win
NOT take advantage Of the fact they can get food ct
cost will exploit his explanation to the utmost with the
hope of remedying the situation.
Without being responsible for any statement in the
letter of correspondent who discusses this question ara
going to start the ball rolling with one mans idea The
letter follows: e
The sale Of army food by the pOstOf6ee 70
be slated failure and the public appears to be losing
interest One for this may be that citizens do not
that they must ask the letter carriers for the
blanks No statement to tho effect has appeared IN
the papers, yet such is the Newspaper advice has
been that the distribution of order blanks viii Be made By
the postmen and many consumers doubtless waiting
be favored Another for sowness especially
bacon, is that many buyers given bacon without
streak of lean and peeved that they told their
friends Fatback is fatback, and should not be labeled

Investigate, Investigate!
And Then WhatY Nobody Seems To Care Enough
About Food Costs To Do More Than Talk In Private.

Senator Balls subcommittee investigates the high cost
Of food in Washington.
It throws open its hearings to the public and invites
al of to come and tell our troubles.
And Washington sits at home lights its pipe or knits
and talks about the high cost of eating.
Unless Washington demands action there will be none
The fact that the President took occasion to point out
enough These Senators must be convinced that the house
wives Of Washington interested before they will intro
duce and push through legislation to stop food pFoteerng
Everywhere go the main topic Of conversation is
the high price Of somethngfrom mink mus to fOd
der Is it true that just want to talk about it, and
really don't want to act?
The Senators say that virtually all the witnesses that
appeared before the committee those whom they
moned These legislators don't propose to waste their
time fussng with legislation that nobody else with the
exception Of the prOfteers, seems to worry about.
On the other hand, the rent problem brought a
legion Of District people to the hearings eager to testify
Some landlords who told stories of the unfair treat
ent By tenants Most of them tenants complaining
Of high rents
From this paradoxical situation it would seem that
Washington doesn't much what paysfor its food but
ba at paying high price for house. ROOM apartment
in which TO live
The situation is most easily explained by consulting
food she pays in Of five cents to five dollars The
amount is small compared to that which she pays at the
beginning or the end Of each month for rent
She estimates that she is Overchaged ten per cent for
food On purchase Of dollar this is ten cents Who
wants to bother and fuss and testify about ten cents?
But her rent is thirty forty hundred three
hundred dollars and per Of three hundred dollars is
thirty which is really worth fussing about
That is the working Of the mind which kicks at high
rent and acts about it, but which kicks and fails to on
high prices Of food.
The profteer who makes large number of small sales
has the best chance to get away with it.

IL This PatrIotismP

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My mother thinks me absolutely
incorrigible. I think I have done
nothing but a patriotic and human
duty.
A friend and l. girls, were taking
a walk. Two United States SOL
diers asked US il we would allow
them to walk with US. They were
so nice we couldn't refuse. They
said they knew no one here and
that they had just come back from
France, as we cannot see from their
hob-uails and overseas caps. We
walked with them for two hours
and when they left US they asked
US to go the following night to see
a show.
Now there was nothing in the
boys actions to make US distrust
them and we are college girls, sup
posed to have some sense. We con-
sented to go. and there my trouble
began so far as my mother is con-
cerned
wish you would convince her
that there is nothing wrong in what
| have done, although l admit that
there would be some danger. n we
were not sensible girls. H.G.
Doesn't it seem to an intelligent
girl like you that the extreme and
desperate loneliness of good look
ing young soldiers is an idea that
has perhaps been little overen-
phasized? l am afraid it won't
&c to suspend all .h1 conventional
laws that have been framed for
the protection of girls merely be-
cause there are young men in uni
form about with extra time on
their hands. 1t is quite true that
in such a case as yours no harm
is done; but it would have been
much wiser in case you felt your
self justified in speaking to the
young men without an introduc-
ton, to ask them to come to your
own house where your mother
could help you receive them,
rather than to 60 walking with
strangers. Even wise college girls
cannot throw prudence to the
winds. :.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been keeping company with
a man for some time, he telling me
he was a divorced man. When he
proposed marriage, I told him on
account Of my religion 1 could not
marry a divorced man. Then he
told me he had never been really
married to the woman he had called
his wife. He is fifteen years older
than I. He keeps running after me
and sending notes to me. Please
tell me what ! shall do. N. S.
should say that this man had
revealed himself so thoroughly
that you have no other choice than
to break with him absolutely.
Make up your mind definitely
about this, and let him know 1t,
and I think he will not continue
to annoy you.
