to temperature of over 70 degrees.
Higher temperatures cause faster
development and any egg will be-
come absolutely unfit for human
food within four or five days after
development starts. Since temper
atures even higher than those men
toned are not uncommon during
the summer months, the desirability
of swatting the rooster" at that
time is very important.
By keeping eggs infertile, the diff
ficulty of handling them is greatly
reduced. Another of the rules for
produced good summer eggs is to
keep them clean. A dirty egg has
usually been wet, and wetting de-
stroys the natural film which pro-
tects an egg against the entry of
the spores of decay. Keeping eggs
from getting dirty is not nearly as
difficult as it sounds. Provide plenty
of clean nests; and clean them fire.
quently. 1t is also advisable to keep
hens indoors when the runs are wet
and muddy. Should some eggs be-
come soiled in spite of all precau-
tions, keep them for home consump-
ton. Do not wash them, as washed
eggs spoil quickly. Gather eggs at
least once or twice each day.
A cool clean place is another es-
sential factor in keeping eggs fresh
and marketable during the warm
days of summer. A basement is
usually cool enough but should be
dry and free from Objectionable
odors. No matter how good your
storage facilities may be, however,
market your eggs often in hot
weather and the hotter the weather
the oftener they should be gotten
out of your hands.
Bad flavors in eggs are usually
more common during hot weather
than at other times. They may re-
suit from mold, absorption of odors
or feeding of certain materials. Eggs
held in a damp musty place will
develop a mold which causes an I'M
pleasant flavor, or storing eggs near
onions, cabbage, kerosene or any
other substance with strong pene-
trating odor may cause bad fiavors.
Most of the suggestions given
above might well be kept in force
the entire year round. The high
temperature of summer months Gre
ates special conditions, however,
which make it doubly desirable to
exercise every precaution to insure
delivering to market only eggs that
are strictly fresh and palatable. Pro-
ducers who are known to deliver
only the best of high grade eggs
can always command a higher price
and can find a ready market for
their output even when others are
bewailing the fact that over-produc-
ton or some other eyre present
bugaboo has beaten their prices
down.

1t was only natural therefore that
the United States would seek to
make its own debt pact with Ger
many, and that this is being done
will be a source of satisfaction to
those who do not want this govern
ment intimately connected with the
political and financial entanglements
of Europe. The reason given at
Washington for the separate debt
pact with Germany Independent of
the Young debt settlement plan is
that the government wants to keep
away from transactions through the
proposed international bank. The
debt matters we have to settle with
Germany, of course, grew out of the
costs of the American occupation on
the Rhine and the payment of re-
wards granted to American claim
ants. The negotiations, it was stat
ed, are being carried on through ia
cob Gould Schurman, the American
ambassador to Germany.

the United States will not be party
to the international bank it is I'M
derstood that the agreement which

The present action of this country

that the United States was

counter. by golly!" he exclaimed,
sit may be the good old summer
. time for some folks, but it sure
don't do the egg business a mite of
good!"
"Why, what's the trouble, Mr..
Withers?" inquired the white
aproned clerk.
WELL" drawled the older man,
"I've got just Is dozen eggs for you
today and by rights it ought to be
20, but the darned weather just

Let your roosters run with the
hens, Mr.. Withers?" asked the clerk.
Sure" was the reply. What
else are you going to do with them?"
The the young man, who hap
pened to be recently graduated from
the state agricultural college, ex-
planned to his rather incredulous
one-man audience that by allowing
eggs to become fortified he reduced
their keeping qualities to an almost
unbelievable extent. He concluded
his impromptu lesson with this good
advice: eff your ROSTERS are of no
special value, kill them and eat
them. If you don't want to do that,
pen them up until you need eggs for
Matching. A rooster does more harm
than good any time outside the
breeding season if allowed to run
with the hens"
1 think most people realize the
correctness of the young clerks
statement, but his advice is not fol-
lowed as generally as it should be.
Hens will continue to lay eggs If
there isn't even a rooster in the
same county. What is more, eggs
produced under such conditions will
keep much longer and at consider
ably higher temperatures than the
fertile eggs that result from permit
ting male birds to run with the flock
at all times.

 Bad Luck Continues
 The snag filled, hazardous chan nel of the upper Mississippi reaches and the weariness of long sleepless hours conspired today against Dr. Leroy and his two companions as they drove the speed boat upstream.

London, July A LP)-Prime Min in the house of commons today the British government had decided to suspend work on the cruisers Surrey and Northum berland, to. cancel the building of'the submarine depot ship Maidstone, to cancel two contracts for submarines and to slow down dockyard work and other naval construction.
 The prime minister said: ''1 am now in position to make a state of the government regarding the naval building program.
 Two Points Considered
 "The governments general posi- ton is that the defense of the coun- try must be devised with two main considerations in view.
 First, the chances of defenses having to be used. and then the efficiency and economy shown in their magnitude and character. The government has kept in view the changes in policy and in the prob lem of national security as affected by the peace pact, and if that pact is to be made an effective influence in international relations
 ITO make it so is the controlling purpose of the government and a systematic policy is being developed which will take a little time to com olete to carry out that intention.

 Company H was in charge of Mess Sergeant Frank Flis and First Cook Big sam" Sayad during the greater part of the final week, but. previous to receiving an acute appendicitis attack. Second Cook Leo Crosby as- sisted them. The last named cook is now at Lawrence X Memorial hos pital in New London.
