STATE FAIR APPROPRIATION
TO BE TURNED BACK
INTO STATE TREASURY

The case of the State of Washing
ton ex rel State Treasurer w. w.
Sherman VS.. E. F. Benson, state
agricultural commissioner. in which
the state treasurer seeks to compel
the Commissioner to turn into the
state treasurer all moneys in his
hands received from entrance" fees,
advertising, concessions and other in
come of the state fair for the years
1918 and 1919, was decided for the
plaintiff in a supreme court decision
here yesterday.
F. H. Gloyd commissioner of agri-
culture, who succeeded Mr.. Benson,
state that the commission has on
hand $15,S60.0 5 to turn into the state
fair fund which was collected be-
tween the dates Of November /, 1918,
and October 81, 1919.
In 1907 the legislature passed a
law abolishing the state fair fund.
Then it became the custom to turn
over the money left after paying the
expenses of the state fair to the fair
fund. In 1909 the legislature apprO-
priated 100000 to run the fair for
two years The state agriculture COM
missioner has been holding the $15,-
86005 until the court ruled whether
it would be necessary to turn it into
the state treasury. The state took in
$40,881.91 at its fair at Yakima last
year.

EGGS IN WATER GLASS
WILL CUT EXPENSES
When Eggs arc Cheap and Plentiful
Put Some in Preservative, Where
They Will Keep Excellently
for q Year.

The process of preserving eggs in
sodium silicate - water glass-is
known to many people, but there are
still some who are bit hazy regard
ing the details.
An Ohio home demonstration agent
was in her Office last summer busily
working when the telephone rang. An
anxious feminine voice. was on the
other end of the line.
Are you the home demonstration
agent? Well, l heard you were tell
ing people how to put up eggs so
they keep we'll. l heard it was in
water glasses wanted to ask about
it. ! haven't enough water glasses
to put up many and l can't afford to
buy them for that purpose, but l have
lot Of jelly glasses that l thought
l could use. You see we didn't have
much fruit to make jelly of this year
Do the glasses have to have covers?"
Water-Class Method Recommended.
During 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 may
be kept for to II months in excell-
ent condition and used with good
results.
Eggs laid in April, May or early
June have been found to keep better
than those laid later in the season.
If satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tanned, 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
slightly soiled, cloth dampened with
vinegar can be used to remove the
stains. Under no circumstances

Frank Mayo, the Universal star,
depicts the role of an operative of
the United States Secret Service in
1.-The Peddler of Lies" his latest Uni
versal phOtOdrama which will be
shown Wednesday and Thursday at
the Strand Theatre
The star recently explained the
functions of the government man
hunting agencies, as follows:
THE United States Secret Service
is a department of the treasury, COM
manded by the Secretary of the Trea-
sury and concerns itself principally
with the running down Of counter
feiters. 1t is from this organization
that the Presidents body-guard is
selected and men of this service are
always assigned to accompany visit
ing official from another country.
THE Department of Justice oper-
ates another bureau of investigation;
an organization whose operatives run
down enemies Of the country, viola
tors of Interstate and itnerna-
tional law and criminals who have
defrauded either this government or
another.
In addition to the two secret or
CARNATIONS the treasury department
maintains a special agent in each i'm
portant city to track smugglers and
those who have evaded the payment
of customs duty. The post office de-
partment has inspectors who concern
themselves with mail frauds thefts
from the mails and the robbery or
defalcation of post Offices.

should badly soiled eggs be used for
preserving; if put into the jar while
dirty they will spoil, and washing
removes protective coating which
prevents spelling.
Cost is 2 Cents a Dozen
A good method for the preserva-
ton of eggs is the use of sodium sill
cate or water glass. If the price of
sodium silicate is about 80 cents a
quart eggs may be preserved at a
cost of approximately 2 cents a dozen.
1t is not desirable to use the water
glass solution second time.
Use one quart of sodium silicate
to quarts of water that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mixture
in a 5gallon crock or jar. This will
be sufficient to preserve Is dozen
eggs and will serve as guide for the
quantity needed to preserve larger
numbers of eggs. -..-... :
The crock should be cleaned
thoroughly, and then sealed and
allowed to dry.
Heat quantity of water to the
boiling point and allow 1t to cool.
When cool, measure out 9 quarts

FUMlGATING WILL RID
POULTRY HOUSE OF VERNiIN

The following method of Kidding
hen houses of mites and lice, when
the weather conditions are such as to
permit of the birds being kept out
side the house for five or six hours,
is recommended by poultry specialists
in the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Close all the doors and windows
and see that there are no cracks or
any other openings to admit air. Set
an iron vessel on gravel or sand near
the center of the house. Place in the
vessel handful of shavings or straw
saturated with kerosene and on these
sprinkle sulphur at the rate of about
l pound to every 80 or 100 square
feet of floor space. Instead of using
the shavings and kerosene. the sui
phur may be saturated with wood
alcohol.
When everything else is in readi-
ness, light the material and hastily
leave the house. In case any anxiety
is felt about fire, a glance through a
window will show whether everything
is all right There is very little
danger of fire when proper precau-
tions have been taken to have plenty
Of soil beneath the vessel After
three or four hours, throw all the
doors and the windows wide open to
drive out the sulphur fumes
thoroughly. Then let them in one
by one. AS each enters, catch it and
dust it we'll with insect powder, which
will destroy the lice on the birds.
Tobacco dust is also good to use in
stead of insect powder.
The birds and house have now been
freed from vermin for the present,
but the eggs of the insects have not
been destroyed, and in a week another
swarm will be Matched out. There
fore it will be necessary to repeat
the operation once or twice before
the pests are exterminated. After
this care should be used to see that
no strange fowl is admitted to the
house or yard without having been
thoroughly rid of lice, for one lousy
hen will contaminate all the rest
