FOOD VALUE OF EGGS.

Eggs are high in the foods which
help make the body grow and develop.
They contain protein which is neces-
sary for good health; fat TO help keep
ID the energy, and iron, which forms
the material from which parts of the
red blood corpuscles are made. Wit
amins, the little health producers we
hear so much about, are also found
in eggs. A new bulletin has just
been prepared by W. D. Buchanan and
Miss Mary Sutherland Of the eXten-
sion service Of the State College or
this interesting subject, and may be
had for the asking.

THE THINNING
DEMONSTRAT'N
ON TUESDAY

About twenty gathered at the ]. c.
Mitchell ranch Tuesday afternoon for
the thinning demonstration given bv
County Agent Mielke and Mr.. ]. r.
Peters, the wizard of the great big
red apple.
Mr. Peters started in some seven
teen or eighteen years ago. we be
lieve. to make fortune out of fruit.
planting some ffty-odd varieties. he
being store man without experience
in the ways or horticulture, and soon
found that he was on the wrong track
with so many kinds of apples that he
was lost in the maze of cognomen
and medley of classification. He
then took a shortcut to success bv
reducing his species of apples as fast
as possible until now he advocates not
over three, and by pruning and thin
ming brought his production up to
that stage of perfection best describ-
ed by the words "ne plus ultra" or
nothing further"
Mr.. Mielke opened the festivities bv
telling Of the state Of perfection he
had brought apple production to be-
fore Mr.. Peters butted in and how If
was necessary to bring Mr. Peters
back second time to remedy the
damage he did last year. Mr.. Peters
then gave his version of the matter,
making it appear that Mr.. Mielke had
wrought such damage in a few "dem-
onstrations" that it was necessary for
him to make second tour to correct
the mistakes made. This, of course.
will readily be understood as pleas
antry and Introductory, for no one
questions the ability, or at least not
the good intentions, of either of the
gentlemen.
Mr.. Peters told some of his expert
ence and trepidations and then got
down to the real center of the demon
stration.
Those who have not given long
study and practical experience to the
production of apples and pears can
hardly credit as good usage the cut
ting away Of so, 70 or 80 per cent of
the fruit in thinning; but this is what
Mr.. Peters advised. Taking a branch
of a tree which contained some 60
apples, he would thin out until not
more than eight or ten We're left, and
no two together. All small apples
were thinned away and only the best.
on the upper side of the limb (in
most cases. were left-depending of
course on the size of the limb But
as a general rule the apples are left
some six. eight or ten inches apart
Pears We're thinned in much the same
manner He also showed how he
would take out all water sprouts in
the center of the trees. The main
idea, as we gathered il, was to leave
only such apples as will mature to the
fullest-large and we'll colored-thus
prolonging the life and vitality of the
trees and making annual production
sure.
The demonstration was surely of
great benefit to the beginner and no
doubt Of some use to old timers in tn
business.
Mr.. Peters designated the thinning
shears as only intended for those with
crippled hands. and does his thinning
with his Lands alone-which is as
suredly more practical when one gets
the knack of It. for il is faster and
easier than handling the shears.

BUSINESS NEVER BETTER.

Trainmen, employed on the railroad
here for many years, say they have
never known business to be better
even during the war, than now, claim

quantities now as at any time in tie
past and still improving In support
Of this If is said that all train and en-
ginemen, laid off much of the time
during the past two years, are now
back at work and new men have been
hired on the Cascade division.

FLUME WENT OUT.

A stretch of fume Of the "high-
line" ditch. about a mile below the
Dryden power plant gave way last
Thursday afternoon and left all land
under the ditch without water The
most serious aspect Of the occurrence
was that it also left the orchardists
without water for spray purposes and
the second cover spray was then
about to be applied

THINNING BEGINS,
HELP SCARCE.

Thinning out the apples will be in
full force from now on and il is said
that help is scarce in all sections Of
this district. The apple crop promises
to he good and every rancher is
anxious to keep up with the best prac-
tees
The later reports are that there is
to be big cherry crop lower down
the valley. Here in Leavenworth the
cherry crop will be light and the same
is true Of pears and perhaps peaches

RESEARCH WORKER AYERS
N0AH'S ARK WAS PYRAMID.

Los Angeles. Calf. June IT.
Noah's Ark, built to save human and
animal life from the food Of ancient
Biblical times. is still extant for all
to see. 10000 years after its construc-
ton. This is the belief Of Dr.. Z. c.
Getzinger, Psychologist, now visiting
here His conclusion is based he de
clares, on recent discoveries, following
80 years Of research work, some Of
the results of which he described in
an address before the Friday Morning
Club Of Los Angeles.
DR. Getzinger is convinced that the
ark Of Noah was not ship: that it
was the great pyramid Of Cheops in
Egypt. Recent discoveries prove that
the pyramid, "Noah's Ark" and the
others were under the sea for thou
sands Of years, DR.. Getzinger said.
Near the top Of each Of the pyramids,
at the same level, IS 2 high water line
where a deep niche has been cut into
the rock BY the lashing Of long
forgotten surf-the surf Of the food
which inundated the ancient Biblical
world, he declared DR.. Getzinger
said research showed the inner pas
sages of the pyramids to be thickly
crusted with salt, which chemical
analysis proved was sea salt. Dr..
Getzinger is convinced the pyramids
were built thousands Of years before
the reign Of the Pharaohs. The latter
to whom they have been accredited,
merely repaired them and caused a
casing Of stone to be built over them.
he said And he also Is convinced
that the pyramids stand today q liy-
ing monument To an old and noble
philosophy. a civilization greater than
any the human race has since at
tanned.
Obviously, since modern science
can not account fer the means used 10
transport and place the great stone
slabs used in the construction Of the
pyramids, that ancient race must have
possessed knowledge and power lost to
Is at the present day. Dr. Getzinger
argued. His explanation Of the feat
performed by those ancient engineers
Is they were a race infinitely more
spiritual than modern man, that then
power lay in greater understanding of
the universe and its laws.
For instance, Dr. Getzinger said his
researches indicate that these an
clients prior 10 thirty thousand years
ago had no language, needed no Ian
guage. They had the gift Of trans
ference Of thought, a higher finer
comprehension Of what we call telep-
athy, and as language was born into
the world for the use Of human be
ings, this spirituality was gradually
lost to Us.
IN ike manner Dr. Getzinger
continued, they understood the pow
err Of light to lessen the weight o.
mass Objects fact which modern
experiments are even now making
evident"
Some knowledge Of this kind. DR.
Getzinger thinks. made possible the
handling Of those huge blocks Of
limestone and granite Of which the
pyramids are constructed"

R0LLN JOHNSON FORMERLY OF BARABOO AND
NOW PROPRIETOR OF BRIGGSWLLE RESORT HAS
EXPERIENCE WITH GEESE He RECENTLY SHOT

Johnson, proprietor of the famous
Johnson fishing resort On the south
side OF lake Mason. awoke Tuesday
morning at his usual early hour of
eight O'Clock, and pushed the cob
webs from his eyes and cooked his
head at an angle consistent with a
modest estimate Of safety main
tanning his equilibrium and took a
slant at the lake.
What met his gaze be dared not
say even after polishing the window
and pinching himself to make sure he
was not having a nightmare; but so
keen was his interest. he called to his
good wife and said: Dear. l had a
drink of moon about three weeks ago
and possibly | have a hangover. but
imagine see geese out there in the
cornfield."
And sure enough they were geese,
about 30 of them; so in scanty at
tire. but plumb full of expectation he
crawled. he sneaked. he rolled, along
ledge. thru marsh and among effec-
tionate burrs which chung to him like
an ivy. Finally when so close he
could count the feathers on the gan
ders topknot he opened up with a
barrage that brought some of the ma
tive vets back to the days of big Ber-
tina. When the smoke rolled away he
gathered together three beauties that
had gotten in the path of the shot
and, leaving gun behind. ran with
them TO the house to prove TO his
better half the prowess he has long
been wont to claim. Leaving his
trophies on the door step. he entered
the house and in a few moments re-
turned with Mrs. Johnson to view the
