OF the 1857, 100000 dozen of eggs
produced annually In the United
States. It is estimated that nearly 8
per cent Of those marketed are a
total loss.
This is due largely TO improper
handling between the farm and the
market. Many farmers look upon eggs
as by-product, and the returns as
so much clear gain. The hens forage
for living; eggs are gathered when
ever convenient and kept almost any
where. With such carelessness and
combination of mongrel stock, dirty
nests, stolen nests Of broody hens, un.
confined males, Iate-maturing pullets
and other undesirable conditions, Is
1t any wonder that the product in
cludes high percentage Of small.

rotten eggs?

REFUSES TO
ANNUL TREATIES
PRESIDENT HAS MADE UP MIND
NOT TO CANCEL
TREATIES.
MARINE ACT
DOES NOT CONSIDER SECTION "a
GIVES CONGRESS coNsTI.
TUTIoNAL POWERS.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

wsatsrn Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Sept. 25.-Formal an
nouncement has been made by the
state department that President vii.
son had decided not to carry out the
instruction from Congress to annul
existing treaties between the United
States and foreign countries by which
the United States is prevented from
granting special import tariffs and
transportation rates on imports car
ried In American bottoms.
The statement given out BY the
state department follows:
The Department of State has been
informed by the President that he does
not deem the direction contained In
Section XXXIv, Of the so-called mer.
chant marine act, an exercise Of any
constitutional power possessed by the
Congress.
Under the provisions sf the section
referred to, the President was directed
within ninety days after the act BE-
came law to notify the several gov
ernments with whom the United States
had entered into commercial treaties.
that this country elected to terminate
20 much Of said right Of the United
States to impose discriminating Gus.
toms duties on imports and dlscrimi
natory tonnage dues, according as the
carrier vessels were domestic or for.
eign, quite regardless of the fact that
these restrictions are mutual, operat.
ing equally upon the other which are
parties to the treaties, and quite r.
CARELESS also Of the further fact that
the treaties contain no provisions for
their termination IN the manner con.
templated by Congress.
"The President, therefore. considers
1t misleading to speak Of the 'tsrmina.
ton Of the restrictive clauses of such
treaties. The action sought to be Inn
posed upon the executive would amount
to nothing less than the breach or vio-
lation of said treaties, which are
thirty-two In number and cover every
point Of contact and mutual depend.
ence which constitute the moderan 70.
lations between friendly states. Such
a course would be wholly irreconcil.
able with the historical respect which
the United States has show for its in.
ternaticnal engagements and would
falsify every profession of our belief
in the binding force and the reciprocal
obligation Of treaties in general.
The merchant marine act was ap-
proved June 8, In the final rush Of the
sessions close. with no opportunity
to suggest, much less secure its re-
vision in any particular. To have We.
t0ed the act would have sacrificed the
great number OF sound and enlighten.
ed provisions which 1t undoubtedly
contains.
Furthermore. the fact that one SEC
ton Of the law involves elements q
illegality rendering the section In
operative. need not affect the valid
ity and operation Of the act a.
WHOLE"
The announcement, said the presi-
dent, had reached his decision before
the expiration on Sept. 5 Of the ninety
day period In which the merchant ma
rine act directed that he take steps
to abFogate the treaties. 1t also was
state that the President had not con.
suited any foreign governments re-
garding the matter.
