SEVEN HUNDRED DOz.
EGGS SOLD IN SALE.
Fifteen Farmers Participate In
First Coop Effort AT Poul-
try Selling In Sumter

Seven hundred dozen eggs have
just been sold by George o. Mar
shall, county farm demonstration
agent, in the first cooperative sale
ever held in Sumter county. The
eggs were brought in by fifteen far
mcrs and assembled in the base
ment at the courthouse, being later
forwarded to Atlanta by express
shipment. A feature of the sale
that has caused some comment upon
the streets and among those fami-
liar with the effort was that few
ladies brought in poultry products
for disposal. It is expected that
the next sale will see large nuE-
Der of ladies among those making
offerings.
Marshall, discussing the sale this
morning said he was greatly en-
couraged by the results attained
and that he plans to hold similar
sales each Tuesday in every week
until the egg supply diminishcs
The number of eggs Of
fered, he is confident, will increase
as the sales continue.

BROAD FIELD EXISTS
FOR POULTRY BREEDING


Mrs. S. M. Sellers and son vii
field exists for specialization by
farmers in producing table poultry
Of prime quality, according to the
United States Department of Agri.
culture.
1t was pointed out that most
poultry is hipped alive by producers
because they are not skilled in dress
sing and are not equipped to handle
and ship the dressed poultry in good
condition over long distances.
Shippers of dressed poultry will
find it profitable to fatten the birds
for a period of ten to fourteen days
before killing, the department says.
Requirements of the market to
which the poultry are sent should
determine whether the birds should
be scalded or dry-picked, and also
the style of dressing. The birds
should always be we'll bled and chill.
ed Immediately after slaughter, ii
was stated.
Failure to chill properly is often
responsible for spoilage and in
warm weather, dressed poultry
should be shipped packed in ice
to prevent spoilage in transit, ship
pers are advised. The birds should
be graded for quality, uniformity
AMI size and poor quality birds
should be shipped in separate pack
ages when the shipment is a large
one, it was stated.
1t probably will not pay TO fat
ten poultry that is in fairly good
condition of flesh before shipping
chem alive, because the shriakage in
weight of specially fattened poultry
is likely to be heavy during the
journey to the market, the depart
ment points out.
In shipping alive, producers are
advised to grade the birds by age
and kind and so far as practicable
to ship in separate coops. Over
crowding in coops, especially in hot
weather, causes heavy losses, it was
stated.

MISS STINSON STILL

A 7 7 0 R NEY GENERAL
Widow OF Friend And Conf
dante OF Daugherty Tells
Committee OF Deals Made
BOTH SHARED in PROFITS
Daugherty Introduces Statement
Condemning HUnsubstantiat-
ed Rumor' Afloat

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
Daugherty investigation by the SEN
ate committee displaces the Teapot

erty, who committed suicide in

wealth was increased $4,000 dur
ing the time spent in Washington
with Daugherty.
Miss Stinson testified that Smith
told her OF many deals from when
she said Smith told her that he and
Daugherty were to profit.
Daugherty's name was not speci.
fically mentioned, but she said that
when Smith said ''we," the connec-
ton and trasaction S referred to
himself and Daugherty.
Yesterdays hearing was marked
by clashes between Senator Wheel
CT and Paul Rowland, counsel for
Daugherty.
A statement by Daugherty was
read in which he said he resents
and condemns the broadcasting OF
the unsubstantiated rumors as false
and sensational statements.
As a result of the testimony, Miss
Stinson, Senator Wheeler announc-
ed today, he would call Edward B.
Mclean, Washington publisher, and
Nal Daugherty, of Ohio, a brother
of Attorney General Daugherty.
The committee wishes to know, it
was stated, whether any effort has
been made by the friends Of Daugh-
erty to prevent the appearance and
testimony of Hiss Stinson.

MUSIC

Madame Butterfly" a masquerade
party in three acts, set to music by
Giacomo Puccini, was given by the
Chicago Civic opera company last
Monday night. It was bit more than
just a performance of the opera. 1t
was sort Of memorial ceremony, for
the composer had been scarcely forty
eight hours dead when the curtain
went up on this opera, which is, next
to La Boheme," his most popular
work.
A criticism of Butterfly" is criti-
cism of Puccini, for obvious reasons.
Altho ''Tosca" is probably a greater
oEers. Butterfly" represents a norm
of Puccinis achievement. Fully a
third of it padding, obvious, trite, sim
ply thrown in. The rest is some of
the most inspired and lovely lyrical
melody in musical literature. There
is always wiping of eyes in the audi
ence at the conslusion of the aria,
"One Day He'll Come" at the begin
ming of the second act, there is gen
orally a commingling of tears and
applause at the final curtain. Most
of them have heard the opera time
and again, and yet there is always the
same effect. Which means, Puccini
was success, both artistically and
financially. He never startles us, he
never makes wonder at his novelty Of
invention, but he can make us weep.
AS to the performance of Monday
night, the best work was done by a
tiny little lady whose name was not
on the program. At any rate she
played the part of Madame Butter
fly's baby, and she was the first child
i have ever seen take the part with
out looking something like a kewpie
doll.
Edith Mason was very fine in the
name part. She did not look her
role, at least not as aptly as other
singers look the part. which is not
her fault, but in her acting and sing
ing she was the deluded little Japan

with us starvation, and cannibalism
prevails, and that the workers are
living in slavery, ETC., these reformist
workers did not understand the Rus

csc girl.
Charles Hackett, as Pinkerton, had
one of the queerest roles in opera.
Pinkerton is dissolute and reprehen-
sible sort of cuss, but his part in the
opera makes him highly idealized
villain. Hackett sang the party ade-
quately, but Pinkerton is not very
great tenor role.
The smaller parts, such as the serv-
ant Suzuki, played by Flora Perrin,
the American consul Sharpless, which
Giacomo Rimini sang, and the mar
riage broker, as Ludovico Oliviero
portrayed him, were all excellent,
and contributed to the making of the
frame and background for Miss Ma
sons lead.
Costumes and scenery suggested
would-be Japanese tea house on Sheri-
dan road rather than real Japan. The
main reason for that is that even tho
you give a man a William z. Foster
haircut Give got to retaliate some
how for his referring to the LaFollette
movement as a "Frankenstein") and
dress him up in a kimono, he won't
look very Japanese if his features and
build are those of Rome.
