quently.
Often eggs are soilcd because too
few nests are provided and there is
keen competition for the same nests.
In some cases eggs are left in nests
all day or several days and each hen
in laying does her bit to r1uss up all
eggs previously laid. This suggests
the need for regular and frequent
gathering.
During the spring months IL drain
age or soil conditions are poor n Of
ten notices mudholes and dirty pud-
dies about the houses and runways OF
hte hens. Such places harbor dis
ease organisms and bemire the feet
and feathers of hens and they in turn
smear the nests and eggs. Such wet
places should be filed or drained In
some way.
Occasionally hens develop bowel
trouble and the resulting scours mean
dirty eggs. A little medical treatment
will correct this condition as a rule.
Other heavily feathered birds have
feathers about the vent soiled n
balled up with droppings and o1er
another opportunity for soiling OF the
e z and nests. II these feathers
about the vent are clipped away the
trouble ceases.
Lastly, eggs are often stained by
dirty hands Of the person gathering
them or by dirty receptacles in which
they are gathered or stored. Grease
and oils are very often responsible
for smears which can never be re-
moved. If eggs are held in places
where soot or dust collects many Of
them will lose their fresh attractive
appearance. To much handling, too,
will rub off the delicate layers Of the
bloom and cause the egg to take on
the shiny appearance Of the stale egg.
II all poultry raisers would observe
these simple precautions 90 percent
of the cases of soiling of eggs could
be prevented and a very substantial
saving made for the p~oultrymen
everywhere.

MAY HAVE A SHOWER
Deep Low May Bringa Thunderstorm
and Strong Shifting Winds.

San Antonio may have thunder
shower Tuesday night with some
chance for additional showers as the
result of a deep low pressure area over
Denver Tuesday morning. This low
has a center reading OF 29.2 inches,
but ]. H. Jarboe, meteorologist. be-
lieves that it is recurring and will
pass off to the northeast. North Texas
will be sure TO get some rain from ii
and it is problematical if the dis
turbance will reach down this far.
Any way, strong shifting winds are
predicted for Tuesday afternoon and
night, and we are practically sure OF
them. Temperatures Wednesday morn
ing will be from e. TO 66 degrees.
The deep low brought heavy scat
tered rains to the southern tsates over
night, but no rain had fallen in Texas
up to O'Clock Tuesday morning. Ii
is possible that the low may get out
without causing much disturbance
other than the wind.
The temperature Monday went tC
90 degrees at o'clock and is expected
TO go rs high or higher Tuesday.
A high pressure area is pushing in
over the Northwest and is bringing
cooler temperatures TO the coast. A,
the low moves out. this high will move
on in and cause a little cooler weather
probably by Wednesday might.

-CANNAN'S WELL AT
LULING, STRIKES GAS
POCKET; RUNS WILD
May Be Completed, Hon.
euer, for Large Oil Well
and Extend Pool.

Luling, Tex, April 15.-The No. /
Allen of c. c. Canaan struck a large
pocket of gas at depth of 1908
feet during Monday night and it was
reported Tuesday morning that the
well was running wild. The well is
not making any oil but its gas pres
sure is estimated at more than 10000
900 cubic feet daily. When deepened
it is expected that the Canaan well
will make a big oil producer. This
is the second time this we'll has had
a gas blowout.
Cement had been set in the No. /
Allen and drilling was underway
when the well Unexpectedly blew in
around the tools. Despite strenuous
efforts of the crew the well began
running wild and by Monday morn
ing it was reported that it was not
yet under control. The roar of the
gas could be heard more than two
miles away.
The No. 1 Allen probably will be
completed for good oil producer, oil
men here, say, and it doubtless will
widen the Guadalupe county section
of the Luling field at least five loca'
tons.
The No. 3 Schubert of the Magnolia
Petroleum company was making GOO
barrels of pipe line oil Monday but
by Tuesday morning drilling opera
tons were reported TO have been
resumed, drillers announcing that an
attempt would be made to greatly in
crease the production.

London, April 15.-The first official

mons today when he announced that
the government had learned with great

10000 DESTITUTE y
RUSSIANS in CHINA
IN NEED OF RELIEF
Ten Per Cent of Number
Are Women and Chill
| dren, Is Report. :.

Geneva, April 15.-The League Of
Nations has discovered that in China
60,OOO destitute Russian refugees are
desperately in need OF relief. Much
has been done alreday by the Chinese
and japanese governments and by
privately organized charities, includ-
ing American, but the great problem
of permanently caring for the refugees
remains to be faced. Ten per cent 70
the refugees are women and children.
They are spread throughout China
and medical assistance is available fof
them only in the large towns and
cities. They live in unhygienic con-
ditions, have insufficient clothing and
no money. Advices from league
agents pay a great tribute to the forti-
tude of the hapless Russians whose
stoical endurance is described as
amazing.
Two immediate remedies are sug-
gested. the first repatriation and the
second emigration. 1t is proposed to
obtain a guarantee from the soviet
government similar 10 that accorded
returning refugees from the Balkan
states and Constantinople, that If
they 20 back to their homeland they
will receive fair treatment.
The League of Nations believes
that those who refuse to return to
Russia even under guarantee should
be permitted to emigrate from China
TO countries requiring white labor. II
is planned TO open negotiations with
various governments to facilitate this
movement.
A precedent has already been estab-
lished BY France which proposes to
take many thousands of Poles to work
in the coal mines of Northern France
and which has already helped the Rus
sian refugee cause by taking some
5000 from the Constatinople district.
Most of these will labor in the fields
of France in agriculture. American re-
lief organizations have been of as
sistance in furthering the Russian
movement to France.
The Russian refugee relief which
operates under the league will imme-
diately tackle the Chinese problem.
