well, you see," patiently ex-
planned her involuntary tormenter,
they have been washed"
Washed? Yes, of course they
have. 1 spent hours tidyin' 'em up
because you didn't want 'em- dirty
and now you don't want 'em clean.
What in tarnation do you want?"
1t would take too long to continue
the dialogue any further. So let it
suffice to say that only after a long
and impassioned debate was Mother
Jones finally made to understand
that washing eggs reduces their
keeping qualities to an almost I'M
believable extent. 1t is an actual
fact that washed eggs come out of
even a brief stay in cold storage as
much as so per cent inferior to un-
washed eggs. That puts the owner
of soiled eggs between "the devil
and the deep blue sea" to be sure,
but there is really no excuse for
having dirty eggs in any great num-
bers.
The solution is a simple one and
really much easier of accomplish
ment than the washing of eggs. First
of all, nests should be placed in a
dark place so that hens will only go
to them when they wish to lay, and
they should be protected frem above
so that they cannot be befouled by
droppings. Two-inch mesh wire net
ting should be tackled onto the lower
side of the roosts to keep the hens
off the droppings board which will
prevent soiling of the eggs with
their dirty feet. Eggs should be
gathered once or twice each day and
all dirty or soiled eggs should be
used at home.
Furthermore, the nests should be
thoroughly cleaned out frequently
and all soiled straw or whatever is
used replaced with new material
that is fresh and clean. If these
simple precautions are observed and
hens are kept confined during mud
dy weather there will be little neces-
sity either for washing eggs or for
accepting a lower price for dirty
ones. '.
Washing destroys the gelatinous
coating which nature puts around an
egg to protect the contents. When
it is washed off or otherwise re-
moved the spores Of mold and the
bacteria of decay enter easily
through the porous she'll and evap-
grafton is appreciably accelerated.
Storing for any length of time be-
comes impossible thereafter, so it
is no wonder that the up-to-date
dealer is willing to accept washed
eggs only at a discount which will
protect him against loss if he cannot
turn his stock quickly.
1t is the old, old story-"an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure"-only in this case washing can
hardly be accurately called a cure.
Cleanliness is still next to. godli-
ness, but so far as eggs are con-
cerned, a lot depends on how the
cleanliness is brought about.

A very delightful three-day ba-
zaar is being planned by the George

ber 8, 4, and S. Each night will have
a different attraction, with booths for
candy, cakes, pies, bread, also fancy
articles, aprons, toys, etc. The first
night there will be a big Christmas
dinner, after which the bazaar will
be arranged especially for the chill

for the children at small cost, and

The community observance of
Armistice Day in Georgetown was
notable success and those in charge
of the event are to be congratulated
for the commendable manner In
which the program was carried out.
The parade was large and pleasing.
The address by DR.. Elliott was Dotn
interesting and inspiring. Many or
the thoughts he presented were
worth carrying home for further
consideration. Taken all in all the
day was highly successful. 1t might
perhaps, be taken as demonstration
of what can be done by a community
when all are working in harmony 1or
a successful accomplishment OF a
civic enterprise. Georgetown was
we'll advertised by its Armistice Day
observance. Many persons were at
tracted here to witness the various |
events on the program. The Amer1- |
can Legion and the business and
nrofessional men worked hand In |
hand for the success OF the pro1ect'
Perhaps a combination OF the same
forces working under the same un-
selfish motives can accomplish other
great things for this vicinity. 1t

Old Mother Jones was a charac-
ter of the type once common enough,
but now almost extinct-a genuine
"befo' the wah" reactionary to
whom all new tangled ideas were
works of the devil designed solely
to corrupt Gods children on earth.
She eked out a slender existence
with all sorts of odd jobs but de-
rived her principal income from a
flock of nondescript fowls that GER
tainly did lay eggs whatever else
might be said of them.
So long as the old order persisted
in Worthwhile, she got along famous
ly. Then the antiquated general
store gave way to a shiny, spic and
span chain store, the old barter and
trade system became thing of the
past, and a creamery" of the new
era became her outlet 70 rthe chief
product of her little establishment.
Imagine, if you can, her dismay
when the white-aproned young man
behind the counter appraised her
first offering of eggs at several cents
below the current market price. The
AAnpCA IAhSAS yOuhS pup actually Adu
the temerity to suggest that if her
eggs were not soiled they would
command as good prices as anyone
else's.
After much vain argument and no
little show of resentment, she final
ly accepted the proffered sum and
departed sincerely convinced that
there was some sort of vile plot in
operation against her. A few days
later she returned with another
batch of eggs. This time all were
as Immediately clean as a school
boys face the first time he goes out
with a girl-and quite as obviously
scrubbed. She gave the basket a
vindictive shove across the counter.
There, young man." she challenged
belligerently, reckon them eggs is
clean enough to suit you"
Eyes, Mrs. JONES'" he replied
soothingly. "They certainly are nice
and clean, but I'm sorry to say 1
can't give you the full market price
for them"
Her suspicious were confirmed. It
was a plot-nothing less. She de-
termined to get to the bottom of it.
"Why not" she demanded explos-
lively, literally trembling with indig-
nation.
