The officers stated that Chester was

detectives from n private agency
here, that arrested Chester several
days ago in Great Falls, Mont, were
out in the coach.
Beasley said he was changing his
seat in the state room when Chester
suddenly went head foremost through
the window. Unable to grasp Chester

said, he emptied his revolver at him
but failed to hit him. Chester's hat,

the yolk to move from its proper po-

water from the egg forms an air cell
in the large end of the egg. The same
jars or vibrations will some times
break the membranes forming this
air cell, allowing the contents of the
egg to move around freely, and de-
stroying the egg for Matching purpo-
SEES. When it is necessary to ship for
Matching, or otherwise subject them to
jar or vibration, they should be Sc
eurely packed in such way as to re-

Most of the Matching egg boxes which
are on the market are made with this
object in view.

come into contact with the shell and

course, ruin the egg for incubation
purposes. Then, too, with the nat
ural tendency for liquids to sink and
air to rise, when eggs are left in one
position the air cell may become mis-
placed or irregular in shape. This
results in the developing chicken be-
ing forced into the wrong position in

hatch impossible. These dangers can
be avoided by regularly turning, roll
ing or otherwise changing the posi-
tion of the eggs daily.

"Cause it hasn't changed in years?"
Wouldn't the pathos of such logic
Drive a billy goat to tears?

Don't Take Any
Chances With Charlton

During the past two or tn &c years
the stockmen of Louisiana have not
suffered serious losses from the AMI
NAL disease known as anthrax or char
bon. On account of this fact it may
be the tendency of great many live
stock owners to neglect the rslal vac
cination during the spring months and
trust to luck to protect the animals
against this disease. Such a course
may prove very costly, as no one can
predict the presence or absence of an
anthrax outbreak. One outbreak of
the disease with serious losses was
reported during the month of Jan
uary.
In sections where this disease has
occurred, preparation should be made
to have all horses, mules and cattle
vaccinated with anthrax vaccine dur
ing the months of March and April,
according to Harry Morris, bacteriol-
ogist and assistant veterinarian, ex-
pertinent station, Louisiana State Uni
versity. Great advancement has been
made during the last few years in the
manufacture of anti-anthrax prod
ucts and better results should be OBJ
tanned from their use than ever be-
fore. Don't trust to luck to protect
your animals against anthrax, but
prepare to vaccinate with anti-na-
qhrax serum and vaccine.

Eggs for Matching
Require Much Care

Good Matching eggs may be easily
spoiled by improper handling between
the time they are produced by the hen
and the time incubation begins, ac-
cording to the poultry specialists, ex-
tension division, Louisiana State Uni
versiLy. The embryo may be destroyed
or its development seriously hi1de. eG
by subjecting the egg to uneven or
extreme temperatures, to an improper
moisture content of the air, to sud
den jar or constant vibrations, or to
lack of turning.
Some development Of the embryo
will take place at comparatively low
temperatures; that is, in the neigh
bOrhood of seventy degrees, or above

If eggs are kept in a cellar, or
damp place, the moisture of the air
will have the same action as water ap-

temperature going too low, the en-
bryo will be destroyed. Excessively
low temperatures will weaken the vi
tally of the embryo. 1t is important
then that the eggs should be kept in
as even a temperature as possible,
and preferably between the limits of
fifty and sixty degrees. Eggs which
are allowed to remain in the nest for
two or three days at time will be
subjected to great ranges of temper
ature. During the nights the temper
ature will reach low points, and dur
ing the day the heat of the sun, as
we'll as the heat from the bodies of
hens upon the nest, will raise the
temperature to the incubation point,
so that this is one of the worse posi-
BILE practices. Gather the eggs at
least once a day, and during either
very hot or very cold weather, twice
a day will be better.

would yield three and half billion
dollars.
We have such a tax now applied to
drugs and medicines, but it is per cent
instead Of 1 per cent. The druggist
adds the tax to the retail price of the
article sold and affixes revenue stamp to
the package as evidence that the tax has
been paid.
A 2 per cent tax on all sales would
yield seven billion dollars. The sum
needed to meet the expenses of the gov
ernment for the current year is about
five and half billions and for next year
the estimate is about billion dollars
less. The 2 per cent tax would yield a
large surplus, which could be used to
reduce the war debt so that in a few
years all taxes could be scaled down as
result of the constantly decreasing
amount of interest on the war bonds.
Congress is likely to be urged to give
serious consideration to the consumption
tax before the present session ends.

FRANCE AND THE TIGER"

TNHE fine French sense of the fitness of
Il things seems in allegiance. At least
that is how the outsider is apt to view
the selection of Paul Deschanel for the
presidency over Georges Clemenceau.
The latter has given to France so much
that surely, according to foreign COM
ment, it was ungracious to deny him
poetic justice. AS president of the re-
public he would have occupied a post at
once easy and replete with honor.
But the old France that thrilled at
gesture" rose to the man on horseback
and even longed at times for a dictator is
gone. French interest in the dramatic
and picturesque is artistically perhaps,
as strong as ever, but it is divorced to a
considerable extent from the channels of
craftsmanship.
AS the page of history is unroled, ;he
world may come to realize what this
reputation of the snowy and the spec
tacular meant to civilization in 1914.
The mercurial France of yore would
probably have been defeated at the first
Marne.
And so Georges Clemenceau ends his
political career without eliminating
accolade from the nation he so passion
ately adores, the nation for which he in
one of its darkest hours was prime in
strument of salvation.
France is fearful of favorites, even
those of undisputed brilliancy and capac-
ity. The defeat of the "Tiger' may in
part be attributed to this attitude.
Clemenceau ruled with superb authority.
The step from that to autocracy is too
4C1y Sc, 6
mind. Save in crucial moments of ma
tional peril even mediocrity is preferred
in the republic.
Paul Deschanel, however, can hardly be
called mediocre. On the whole he is a
more vigorous statesman than Raymond
Poincare. He has literary gifts of first
rate order, which have admitted him to
the French Academy. He is politically
seasoned and politically on a different
side of the fence from the group which
recently held the reins of office. 1t is this
last circumstance which appears to have
been chiefly responsible for his victory.
In Office, indeed, he may execute many of
the Clemenceau policies, but he repre-
sents the change of lineup and rotation
in leadership, which, provided it is ac-
complished calmly and with due process
of law, is what France has desired
through the recent years of the Third Re-
public. 1t must be considered also that
the chances Of NJ. Clemenceau's dying of
old age before the expiration of the
seven-year term would have been con-
siderable. The nation has lost taste for
the sudden irregularities which it used to
capitalize so dramatically.
AS for the "Tiger," his fame is secure,
and France, perhaps overtimid, over
cautious, overeager to prove her indie
pendence of alluring personalities. can
idolize him in security.
