Mayors First Address
 Calls For Practical
 City Administration

 believe that measures should be taken to insure the collection of all back taxes and assessments due tn city, either by the appointment of an additional assistant City Attorney or by granting to the office of fthe City Attorney such additional clerical help as may be necessary to accomplish this object. I believe too that a just system of tax equalization on O dis trict basis, should be worked out at the help and cooperation of the Board of Assessors I hope to make this an accomplished fact This will tend to eliminate discrepancies and and more fully equalize the tax basis
 believe that the free clinics now ne1nE conducted by the Board of Health perform splendid service ana should be continued, and I rec ommend that closer supervision be exercised over the administration of this work to the end that abuses may be eliminated.

 "We are advised by reliable au- thorfties that there never has been dependable American source oi potash.

 ''As rule, it is well to provide fo1 the development of infant industries but the American potash industry has no chance of really competing with other countries, which controi natural deposits of high quality, easily mined. It is economically wrong to try and compete under such conditions"

MAINTAIN QUALITY OF EGGS
Handling and Treatment Given After
Being Laid Have Much Influ-
ence on Worth.

An egg is never any better in quality
than just at the moment it is laid in a
clean nest. What happens to it after
it has been we'll borne is what gives
it character and reputation. For in
stance, an esq that has been harvested
and placed in a hot kitchen near de-
caying vegetable matter will soon
take on" deterioration, while a good
quality egg placed in cold storage for
several months will possess quality,
though far from being freshly laid.
It is the handling and treatment of
eggs after being laid that has every
thing to do with the maintenance of
quality. AS matters average, March
or April laid eggs, properly stOraged,
possess a quality equal to many so
called fresh eggs produced during the
hot days of summer, and particularly
if the latter are not handled just right.
Environment is of quite as much impor-
lance as age. More depends on the
human factor than the hen. Birds
we'll fed and in sanitary surroundings
lay good eggs; it is the care and at
tention given them while in transit
to the ultimate consumer that largely
influences quality.

He sat up straight, and her arm that
had been about his neck felt at her
side. He took her hand firmly in his,
and their eyes met.

told her simply. I'm not so badly

She nodded; but otherwise scarcely
seemed to hear. Her eyes still flowed
with darkness. And then, before his
own eyes, their dark pupils began to
contract. The hand he held filed and
throbbed with life, and the fingers
closed around his. She leaned toward
him.
"Listen, Dan," she said quickly.
''You heard-didn't you-the last thing
that he said?"
II couldn't help but hear, Snow

Her other hand sought for his.
"Then if you heard-payment must be
made. You see what I mean,. Dan.
Maybe you can't see, knowing the girls
that live on the plains. You were the
cause of his saying it, and you must

It seemer to Dan that some stern

as night, was speaking through her
lips. This was no personal thing In

Her fingers no longer clasped his.
Strength had come back to him, and
his fingers closed down until the blood
went out Of hers, but she was wholly
unconscious of the pain. In reality,
she was conscious of nothing except
the growing fame in his face. It held
her ewes in passionate fascination. His
pupils were contra citing to little bright
dots in the gray irises. The jaw was
setting. as she had never seen it be-
fore.
''Do Won think, Snowbird, that you'd
even have to ask me?" he demanded.

He lifted her hand to his lips and
kissed it again and again.
And for the first time he saw the
tears gathering in her dark eyes. "But

she asked with painful slowness. "You
