Then we wonder what's the cause
of the high cost Of living. and how
10 regulate same? I'll tell you
how-go back TO the farm. Re-
cords will show you that only thirty
per cent Of our men and boys are
farming. They, Of course. feed
their own families first from the
food produced from these farms
and the remainder is divided among
the people that are not living on
farms, which is seventy per cent.
More land must be cultivated and
more food produced before we can
expect the high cost Of living stu
alton TO be any better.

PRESERVING EGGS IN WATER
GLASS AND LIMEWATER

During the spring and early sum-
MGR, when eggs are abundant and
reasonable in price, attention should
be given TO preserving them for
winter use. Fresh eggs properly
preserved 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
obtained, the eggs should be fresh
and clean and. if possible, infertile.
Eggs that float when placed in the
solution are not fresh and therefore
can not be preserved. When an
egg is only slightly soiled, a cloth
dampened with vinegar can be used
10 remove such stains. Under no
circumstances should badly sOiled
eggs be used for preserving: if put
into the jar while dirty they will
spoil, and washing removes a pro-
tective coating which prevents
spelling.
Water-glass Method
A good method for the preserva-
tion of eggs is the use of sodium
silicate, or water-glass. II the
price Of sodium siicate is about 80
cents a quart, eggs may be pre-
served at cost Of approximately 2
cents a dozen. II is not desirable to
use the water-glass solution a sec
Ond time.
Use quart Of sodium silicate to
9 quarts Of water that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mix
ture in a 5-gallon crock or jar. This
will be sufficient to preserve is
dozen eggs and will serve as a guide
for the quantity needed TO preserve
larger numbers of eggs.
a. Select a 5-gallon crock and
clean it thoroughly, after which il
should be scalded and allowed to
dry.
(2) Heat a quantity of water TO
the boiling point and allow il TO
cool.
(3) When cool, measure out Q
quarts of water, place il in the
crock, and add quart of sodium
silicate, stirring the mixture thor
oUghly.
az The eggs should be placed in
the solution. II sufficient eggs are
not obtainable when the solution is
first made, additional eggs may be
added from time TO time. Be very
careful TO allow at least two inches
Of the solution to cover the eggs at
all times.
% Place the crock containing
the preserved eggs in a cool, dry
place, well covered to prevent evap-
Grafton. Waxed paper covered over
and tied around the top of the crock
will answer this purpose.
Lime Method
When water glass cannot be OBJ
tanned, the following method may
be used in its stead. Many consider
this method entirely satisfactory,
though instances are known where
eggs so preserved have tasted slight
~ of lime.
Dissolve 2 or 3 pounds of I'M
Stacked lime in gallons Of water
that has previously been boiled and
allowed to cool, and allow the mix
tUre 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
limewater into the vessel until the
eggs are covered. AT least inches

Mills Close Down.

The Charles Town Advocate says
that active work at the Halltown Paper
Board Company's plant at Halltown
has been suspended. Only few men
have been kept on the payroll to
make repairs and some readiustments
about the plant. The shutdown affects
nearly a hundred men. No intima-
ton has been made as to the time for
resuming operations.
The factory operated in the Ooffman
building in Charles Town by the Town
Manufacturing Company of Baltimore
and employing as many as sixty women
and girls at one time, shut down
Thursday. Employees, some of whom
have become quite proficient operators
have been told that the shutdown may
be for only short time. No assur-
ance. however, has been given them as
to the probable date Of reopening.
This industry is suffering from the
high selling price OF ready-made cloth.
ing and material that goes in them
The demand for clothing at the prices
asked for it has slackened. Large
stocks remain unsold on the hands Of
the manufacturers. This fact, coupled
with the additional fact that materia
for clothing continues high in price
is what ails the local industry. With
cloth down near rock-bottom in price
the cbothing makers would feel safe il
keeping their factories in operation
even though their stocks OF ready-mad,
goods only accumulated in theil

demand will become normal some time

THE leaders OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor announce that union
labor will have comprehensive
scheme OF legislation for which they
will demand enactment OF the next
Congress. One Of their demands is
that there shall be no reduction in
wages and another is that foreign i'm
migration shall be restricted for the
next four years. From the poor show
ing made by organized labor at the re-
cent election we doubt il il will have
much influence with the incoming Con-
gress, for the net result of its activity
70 just about nothing.
The one way for organized labor to
WELD a real influence in our political
and industrial affairs is to stand for
efficiency and honesty and induce its
members to render a just equivalent
for the wages that they receive. Te
often the unions are SIMPLY used as i
shelter for the lazy and inefficient who
have no conception Of responsibility
or fairness, and grating and dishon.
est leaders exploit the men and bully
the employers simply for their own
selfish purposes.
Organized labor does not stand sc
we'll at present, and it is because il
has been exacting and unfair to en-
ployers, with consequent loss and an.
noyance to the people generally.

there is no general reduction in tho

become convinced that the people are
