To Get Back Home

ITO GET back home again-and there to see
old friends and faces of long vanished DAYS,
To hear some friendly voice call out to me
From street or corner of remembered ways,
Where rain or shine or wind-blown winter
The lights of home hold up their golden
shield,
With soft. warm arms from out the long ago
In waiting welcome from the silent field,
TO get hack home again-to know at last
The guns are still from Flanders to I.or-
raine;
The day of ~slogging through the mud is past,
The night of terror In the driving rain
Lies hidden in the midst of Argonnc drifts,
A grim yet holy specter of the years
That wait ahead, wnere every shadow lifts
Before the smile that welcomes through its
tears.
To get back home agaln-oh, dream of
dreams
Too radiant 10 last but for a breath!
The drift Of purple nights and singing streams
Beyond black dawns still rife with ghosts
and death,
Beyond the dreamless sleep of those who wait
To hold the line they fought for to the end,
Eternal sentinels at freedoms Gate,
Where none shall pass save those who
whisper-"Friend."
To get back home again-yes. that is all;
The rest is less than nothing down the
world
The tramp Of marching fetal standards
furled-
And only silent thoughts Of those who stay
To hold the guard across the endless years,
Who viii not come again the ancient way
Nor know the smile that welcomes through
it's tears"

PRESERVING EGGS IN LIME
WATER

During the spring and early summer
when eggs are abundant and reason
able in price, attention should be Civ
en- to preserving them for winter use.
Fresh eggs, properly preserved i'm
water glass or lime water, may be
kept for 8 to IL months in excellent
condition and used with good results.
Eggs laid during April, May and early
June have been found to keep better
than those laid later in the season.
If satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tianed, the eggs should be fresh and
clean, and, if possible, infertile. Eggs
that float when placed in the solution
are not fresh, and therefore cannot be
preserved. When an egg is only slight
ly soiled, a cloth dampened with vine
gar can be used to remove such stains.
Under no circumstances should badly
soiled or cracked eggs be used for pre-
serving; if put into the jar when dirty

they will spoil, and washing removes
a protective coating which prevents
spelling.
Store Eggs in Lime Water
Where waterglass cannot be obtain
ed for the preservation of eggs, the
limewater method may be substituted.
Dissolve two or three pounds of un
Stacked lime in 5 gallons of water that
has previously been boiled and allow
ed to cool, and permit the mixture to
stand until the lime settles and the
liquid is clear. Place clean, fresh eggs
in a clean, earthenware crock or jar,
and pour the clear lime water into the
vessel until the eggs are covered. At
least two inches of the solution should
cover the top layer Of eggs. Some
times pound of salt is used with the
lime, but experience has shown that
in general the lime without the salt is
more satisfactory.
Clean. fresh eggs, properly preserv-
ed, can be used satisfactorily for all
purposes in cooking and for the table.

That is the way every one else on
the Highlands-who stayed-were able
to live and make their payments
There was one little act in the play
as staged by Ed and Henry that was
actually real. Do you all remember
getting ride down to the brick build
ing known as the Power Plant, on
the bank of the canal, and being shown
the machinery and the pipe line, and
told with smile that in five years
this would all belong to you? There
was no guess work about that state
ment! That was absolute truth-we
sure as hell got it!
Personally I think the Highlands is
one of the finest bodies of land in the
Northwest, as well as one of the finest
places to live, but it is what it is to-
day, not on account of any efforts of
Ed or Henry, but in spite of them.
Our orchards are now in bearing, the
tonnage is going to increase by leaps
and bounds and we are certainly going
to need increased frost-proof ware
houses, as well as cold storage; and
now comes Henry, after all he has

I would take it that whoever it was
that made that remark about "the

to it while passing by Ed Hanson's

thereby derive sufficient revenue to

others-and Henry and Ed dished it
out free enough-why didn't they try
a dose of it?

to hold the lamp, set on end, can be

the heat from the light would fire the

For convenience the light should be
placed on table or shelf. The eggs
to be tested should be placed at one
side of the light, while on the opposite
side receptacles for the good and bad
eggs should be provided. Each egg
should be examined alone by placing
it, large end up, close to the light. A

Growers, just please wake up to
this one fact: There are several ware
houses being built here this year and
there will be more in time to come and
you will pay for every one of them!
1t is only a question of whether you
are going to own them yourself or take
greater pleasure in building them for
someone else. Just knock on that old
ivory dome of yours and see if you
can't figure it out.
There is one warehouse in Kenne-
wick and one in Richland owned alb
solutely by the growers. They cost
$4,000 and are worth today about
SIS, 100000. & ..
Please understand that I have not
said any of these things about Ed or
Henry with any malice. They are both

believe they ever told US a thing they
didn't absolutely believe themselves.

Notwithstanding to size and func-
tuation-a stale egg, or one becoming
weak and watery.
Very small spots which are apparent
in the eggs are usually blood clots.
Large spots, rings, and shadows are
due to heat and termination and in
dictate decomposition in the first
stages. An egg that is Opaque except
for a large fixed air cell contains a
chick dead at an advanced stage of
decomposition. An opaque egg with
large air cell having a mobile lower
line is in an advanced stage of fluid
decomposition. Eggs showing soiled
spots or rings can often be utilized by
breaking them and separating the bad
part.

Ordering ones Life.

Take time to scrutinize your life.
Try to define just why you are "run"
and decide for yourself that If you are
going to be ruled, as most Of us are,
1t must be by something or somebody
well worth the arduous sprinting we
are all indulging in. If the goal to-
ward which we are being steered is
worth while. only then can we look
back and feel that the race has been
well run.
