uNAAN4 are Low
There Is nothing mysterious in
the business Of egg preserving and
no great labor. Eggs are compar-
atively cheap this spring, a condi-
ton which should encourage the
housewife to put down a supply
for use next winter when prices
will rise again.
Rules for keeping eggs in water
glass are giyenby the UpitedStates
Department Of Agriculture. To
be preserved properly eggs should
be put into water glass when alb
solutely fresh. The eggs should
be clean, but it is better not to
wash them. Eggs with dirty shells
can be used for immediate con-
sumption and the clean eggs pre-
served. Cracked eggs, or those
with thin orsweak shells, should
never be used for preservation.
The cracked eggs would spoil and
ruin the other eggs in the jar also.
Water glass can be bought by
the quart from the druggist or
poultry supply men. 1t is a pale
yellow, lodorless, sirupy liquid. 1t
should be diluted in the proper
ton of one part of water glass to
nine parts of water which has been
boiled and allowed to cool. Earth
en- ware crooks and jars are best
containers, since they have a gfaz-
ed surface, and are not subject to
chemical action from the solution.
The crooks OF cans should be
scalded for perfect cleanliness and
allowed TO cool before they are
used. A six-gallon container will
hold 18 dozen eggs and will require
about % pinta of solution. Too
large containers are not desirable,
breaking some.of the eggs. Half
fill the container with the water
glass solution, ,put the eggs in it
and add more from day to day, I'M
til the container is filled. Be sure
the eggs are covered with about
two inches of water glass solu tion.
Cover the container and put it in
a cool place where it will not have
to be moved. Use wax paper UNI
der the cover to keep the jar tight.
1t should be looked at every two
or three months to make sure the
water has not evaporated SO that
the eggs are too near the surface.
If there seems to be any danger of
this, sufficient, cool boiled water
should be added to keep them
covered.
Remove the eggs from the So
luton as desired for use and wash
them in clean, cold water. Before
boiling such eggs, prick a tiny hole
in the large end Of the shell with
a needle to keep them from crack
ing. AS the eggs age the white be-
comes thinner and is harder to
beat. The yolk membrane be-
comes more delicate and it is cor
respondingly more difficult to sep
arate the whites from the yolks.

WINDCUTSWIDE
PATH IN ROCKIES
Leaves Wreckage $50 Miles
Across in Prosperous Re-
uj0n of Montana,

CUT-BANK, Mont. Feb. 9.-Across
that section Of Montana east of the
Rockies from this city to Havre
windstorm of high velocity swept
down from the canyons on the eastern
slopes and created havoc over a swath
I15O miles wide, according to belated.
reports which are slowly coming in
here from one of the most largely
home eaded sections Of the State.
The wind attained a velocity of sew
enty-five miles an hour and seemed
bent particularly in removing roofs
of houses barns, and box cars and
lifting all insecure dwellings and
shacks from their foundations and
scattering materials of the Great
Northern railroad far and wide.
without warning the wind rushed
upon this city and wrecked several
small buildings and continued east
ward along the Great Northern, scat
tering neatly arranged piles of ties
along the right of way and upon
meeting a freight train which was in
the path OF the center of the storm
lifted the roofs from fourteen box
cars.
When the storm struck Shelby two
bungalows were unroofed with the
cleanness and dispatch of buzz saw
working on a pine board, and then
DlCkeu UP tnTet anu
lifted them from their foundations.
Word of the storm was relayed to
Havre and when the sky became over
cast and approach of the storm immi-
nent, the public schools there were
dismissed and the children sent to
their homes.
When the storm arrived at Chester
much of it's force was dissipated and
II appeared to take a wider sweep.
While this storm was wrecking all
that was not securely fastened in the
north central part of the State,
Helena and the farming section near
the city were lighting a sixty-mile
gale which ripped awnings from
stores, smashed many plate glass
windows In business houses, ripped
of storm windows from residences,
rolled empty ash cans for blocks
down alleys and took the tops OF
many hay and grain stacks In the
farming section, and also took the
roofs Off several small granaries,
blowing the wheat and oats about and
causing much loss.

STEEL PRICE CUTS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-Local steel
magnates were averse to commenting
on the report that a Youngstown in
dependent had decided to make a bold
bid for business that would practical
ly result In a general price war.
This action has been expected for
some time, The independents have
mary thousands of people and numer-
GUS communities depending on their
business for a living. The policy of
the independents as to prices Is to
be CLEANED from the following inter-
view with an official yesterday:
Reporter-"How far will the cut
ting Of prices extend?"
Official-"Do you remember the
story about certain politicians who
were joking with President Lincoln
about his long legs? One Of them
ask ed him just how long a mans legs
should be, and Old Abe quickly re-
piled, Just long enough to reach from
his body to the ground"

THE MARKET TREND.

Security markets continue to swing
within, a narrow range with very
little significance in the day to day
movements, Since the high OF the re-
covery was reached in January tho
market has sagged toward lower lev
els in extreme dullness. Dull markets
during the month of February is n
seasonal condition ana there is all the
more reason that this condition should
exist this year, since not only sea-
sonal tendencies are at work, but n
natural period of dullness, with
drift toward lower prices is technical
ly expected after the rapid decline at
the end OF the year and the subse-
auent sharp recovery during most of
January.
Market opinion very generally ex-
poets reaction, which may cut the
advance from the lows of December In

advantage OF any weakness TO accu-
mulate sound Investment stocks and

AGED MAN TELLS COURT
BROTHER DEAD l25 YEARS

BRUSSELS, Feb. 9.-When man,
aged cighty-three, applied to the
court for relief the magistrate asked
him whether he had no friends or re-
lations who could help him. The old
man said he had none, for his only
brother died 125 years ago.
After the usual warning that the
court was not to be turned into a
theater, the old man explained that
his father was married in 1892 and
had a son who died three years later.
The father married a second time In
1886. at the age of sixty-two, and the
applicant was born the year after.

carrying many large DuslneSS enter
prises, and while they (the banks) are
protected well enough, it means that
money is hard to get. In addition, the
railroad mess over funds due them
from the Government. is an importa Mt
factor. If by means of the Winslow
bill, railroads will be allowed to col
lect between $350.000,0O0 and $400,-
100000 owing them by the Govern
mems. a long line of tied up credits
will be released.
Taking a long range view, however,
there is little question that the main
trend of money rates is downward.
When crops begin to move and other
commodities and products are market
ed the interior will be willing to
leave more of their funds in New
York. Commercial demands for new
money are naturally small, and the
only problem concerning bankers Is
reduction of outstanding swollen
credits Federal Reserve Bank ratio
of reserves to Liabilities Stoud at 40
per cent last week against ass per
cent for the previous week, and at
the highest level since October, 1919.
Gold reserves increased $40, ,30S, 900,
cash reserves $1S,723,OOO and the cir
culation of reserve notes $24,562 900.
A further reduction of $26,554,00 in
discounted bills was accomplished.
Despite the curtailment of specula-
tive activities and reduction in grant,
ing of new credits, discounted bills
stand at $2S2.11S,0OO in excess of the
amount outstanding the same time
last year. As we have continually
pointed out. until this item Is reduced
to a much lower level 1t is unlikely
that Federal Reserve discount rates
will be cut. which in turn puts the
necessary damper on speculative bor-
rowing.

FOREIGN TRADE.

Foreign exchange, with only one
minor reaction, is showing great
strength, and is lowering around high
levels. There is much talk that for
eign bills will shortly recover to par,
but this belief is immature to say the
least Currency initiation Is the pri-
mary cause of the decline in foreign
exchange, and even a casual examina-
tion of the monetary situation in Eu-
ropean- countries quickly reveals that
the over-extended condition still ex-
lists to a great extent.
Thus, while we believe conditions
have turned toward the better, a
rapid and final recovery is not yet
definitely in view. The extension of
credit and refunding of Government
obligations necessarily creates bet
ter feeling in foreign exchange
circles, which, in turn, is reflected in
a rise for these bills.
Needless to say, the reparation
agreement recently &greed upon by
the Allies. is severe. storm Of pro-
test has arisen in Germany, but a
protest from that direction would be
expected under any conditions. The
reparations arrangement call for more
than casual thinking. Economists in
this country cannot say how it is pos
sible for Germany to make the i'm
mediate gold payments required. Ger
many rehabilitated is different from
Germany as 1t exists today. On a
normal PRODUCTION basis Germany
could pay. but can it now? 1t will be
a difficult task should the Allies be
forced to administer German taxes
themselves, IL that country does not
agree to the present plans, This is
the intended mode of procedure. 1t
Ia encouraging to note, that definite
steps toward clearing up this impor-
tant matter have been undertaken.
