Fresh eggs are in good demand. a
very large percentage of current re.
ceipts, however, are not strictly fresh
and do not command top prices.
Storage eggs. are being withdrawn
from warehouses for current use tC
make up the deficiency in current pro
duction. Stocks are much lighter than
last year and the present outlook is
they will all be needed to supply ex-
port and domestic requirements, as an
early, large supply Of fresh eggs is
not expected.
Poultry receipts have been generally
lighter during the week. Higher prices
have been paid in the country and large
consuming centers.
The butter market has shown some
during the week. The
production is greater than at this same
time year ago, but consumption is
holding up well, and unless there are
unusually heavy receipts of imported
butter, a continued healthy butter mar
ket is expected.

capacity to hold the entire crowd of the
farewell service. Mr.. Harper used one
of his strongest subjects and one that
was entirely appropriate for the occa-
sion-"Goodbye God" ''The goodbyes
are said to be sad milestones of life,
but none so sad as the one between the
human and the Divine-when man
turns his back on God and says Good
by God" said Mr. Harper, in warming
up to his subject.
Il wonder tonight if YOU are not
tired of playing with the DEVILS toys
are you tonight going to say Goodbye
Cod" or are you going to say Good
morning God, and goodbye devil"
Just say good morning, Jesus, record
my name up there" pleaded Mr.. Harp

he gave the closing invitation of the

WILL CONVERT
 OLD TAVERN TO
 PARK PURPOSE

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19 (by Asso- ciated Press).-The old ferry house at Washington Crossing, Pa., is being restored and adapted as central building for park purposes.
 All the properties on the Delaware river bank east of the river road as far as the upper end of the island, behind which boat,, were secreted, ready for embarkation of George Washington's troops for the attack on Trenton, have been bought by the Washington Crossing park commits. sion.
 This covers frontage of over 1,500 feet and includes the point of" en- barkation and the old ferry road lead ing to it. The commission aiso has purchased the island and about 50 acres to the west of river road which includes the ridge behind which the Continental troops were massed and drilled that eVentful ChrlStmaS day before the battle of Trenton.
 The commission has laid out {, gen. eral scheme covering :he territory in which Washington's troops were quar- tered after having been driven across New Jersey and over the Deleware river on December 8, at Morrisville. This includes the base of supplies and New Hope ferry, the uppermost fer ny guarded 10 keep the British from crossing.
 It covers the headquarters houses of Washington and II of his generals. At the graves of the soldiers who died it is proposed to erect monuments. Eventually the national government will be asked to build a memorial bridge over the Delaware at the point where Washington made his never to- ba-forgotten journey across the swol- len river Delaware amid ice floes and dangers from an unseen foe.

HUGE WIRELESS
 STATION TAKEN OVER BY FRANCE

PARIS, Aug. 19 (by Associated Press).-The La Fayette wireless station near Bordeaux, designed and erected by American forces during the war has been turned over to the French government It is the most powerful plant in existence with double the range of the Annapolis installation.
 The armistice found the station half completed and so the completion has been slow as the urgent need of it no longer existed. It is to be used as part of the comprehensive system planned by the French service for reaching all French colonial points ~ wireless.
 Eight towers of structural steel, each within a very few feet of the Woolworth building in height are grouped in two rows of four to sup port antennae that cover an aerial surface about a mile long and a fourth of mile wide. Each tower weighs $50 tons as compared with a weight of 2,7O0 tons for the Eiffel tower in Paris which is only fourth higher than the La Fayette struc. lures.
 The range of the station is more than 13,O0O miles, halfway around the earth Previously the largest French station was that at Lyons which works easily with New York, daily.

LAWYERS URGE
 COURT JUDGES
 BE EFFICIENT

9 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19 (by Associat- ed Press) More organized activity by bar associations in the selection of fit candidates for judicial offices is urged by the Committee on Profes- sional Ethics and Grievances in a re- port prepared for presentation at the annual convention of the American Bar Association here, August 25-27.
 In the opinion of the committee "an appointive judiciary, with pre- liminary endorsement of candidates by the bar is the ideal manner to se- cure a uniformly efficient bench"
 The report also emphasizes the need for thorough cooperation of members of the judiciary and the bar, for the purpose of maintaining high professional standards in legal practice
 Questionaires seeking suggestions as to how this cooperation might be accomplished best have been sent out to approximately 1,500 members of the judiciary throughout the Uni ted States, during the past year, ac- cording to the report, which has been made public by the local committee in charge of arrangements.
 In reply, it states, recommendation has been made that the bars in the various localities be incorporated, with the Canon of Ethics as 6 part of their constitution Wherever this plan is carried out, the recommenda- tion is made that the corporations be entrusted with complete supervi- sion of the activities of all practic- ing attorneys and of those who follow the profession without having first met the prescribed tests.
 The report suggests that the lack of proper tests as to character of ap- plicants for admission to the bar lis the cause of many unworthy men slipping in"
 Many points as to ethical practice have been raised during the year, ac- cording to the report, and the com mittee, in turn, it states, has sought to obtain comprehensive information as to the ethical observances in the courts throughout the United States and the disciplinary practices in voked, for breaches of professional conduct.
 One of the recommendation en- bodied in the report is that the com- mittee be centralized to allow the holding of conferences at stated times, in order to act on important questions which arise. The members of the committee are Henry w. Jes- sup, of New York; Thomas Patter- son, of Pittsburgh; James D. Shear CT, of Minneapolis, Hugh Henry Brown, Tonopah, Nev., and Henry J. Carter. of New Orleans.

ITALYIS OASIS OF WORLD FOR
 THIRSTY ONES

ROME, Aug 19 (by Associated Fress) ).-1taly cannot be called the desert of Europe" because for her 40000,000 inhabitants she provides places where wine and alcoholic beverages may be consumed accord ing to the Italian statistical annual which has just been published.
 Lombardy with population of about F,000,000 leads the way with 32,642 drinking places, the figures show. Piedmont follows her close ly while the province Of Rome, which in 1911 had population of less than 100000, has no less than S,127 drinking places. Less intoxicants are consumed in the South, in the Island of Sardinia and in Umbria than in any other region.
 Many other interesting features of Italian life are revealed by the An nual. The death rate of illegiti- mate children for instance, is shown to be forty per cent greater than those born legitimately. Tuberculo- sis is said to have shown an increase, 50,000 of the 720,000 deaths in one year being attributed to that malady.
 While Italy has no regular poor law, some of it's 28,614 charitable institutions, with capital of about $435, 100000 date from the middle ages and provide for more than 1000 hospitals, IT lunatic asylums, 82 orphanages, 21 night refuges, 16 food kitchens and about 100 refuges for deserted children. The statictics say that in Italy annually 100000 child ren are abandoned by their parents.
 Italy has more than 120,000 ele- mentary schools, with 76,O00 teach CTS and about 4,OOO,OOO students al- though about 46 per cent of the Italian people are illiterajte. Pied mont, in the north has only about 17 per cent, the smallest number of illiterates. School enrolment shows 10000 normal and complementary students; 62,000 in the gymnasiums; 15,C00 in the lyceums; about 5000 in nautical institutes; 130,O00 in techni- cal schools; 29,0OO in technical insti- tutes; 32,000 in schools of mineral olOgy; 12,000 in industrial and con- mercial schools; about 5000 in art schools; 4,200 in musical schools and institutes; 4,000 in boarding schools and 4O0O0 in universities For the latter there are about 1,O50 proie.s- sers; 2,200 teachers :LG 400 e'n- p]oyes.

 TANK HEROES

PARIS, Aug. 19 (by Associated commercial encroachment upon Ro- mango cemetery, where 23,000 Amer ican soldiers are buried, the French government has been asked by the American Army Graves Registration Service authorities to purchase the gentle slope facing the front of the cemetery, and the entire crest of the hill occupied in part by the cemetery, as well as plots at both sides.
 The Romange, Suresnes, and Bel leau Woods cemeteries have been ap- proved by the Secretary of War as the permanent resting places of more than 30,000 soldier dead who will continue to sleep in French soil Suresnes, which is on the slope of Mont Valerian, one of the forts built to defend Paris, is al- ready protected against encroach- ment but will provide areas which will be used by American horticul- tural experts to surround the hal lowed spot with trees and shubbery as at the present time the cemetery is surrounded only with long wall and there is no available space for planting.
 The Identification of the cemetery will not begin for some months as most of the bodies in the cemetery now are to be removed to America, and this work will not start until mid-September and cannot be fin ished until sometime next year After this work is finished bodies from the other cemeteries will be moved in
