EGG MEN PROPPOSE COOP
 TO UNITE POULTRY GROUPS

SEATTLE, Aug. 13.-Faced with a veritable deluge of powdered eggs in the first six months of 1880, Washington egg producers have proposed national cooperative.
 The cooperative would unite all egg and poultry associations in the United States in opposition to ori- ental powdered eggs.
 Hopes for tariff relief were blast ed by the Shoot -Hawley bill, said officials of the Washington coopera- tive poultry and egg association.
 The new act raised duties on shell and frozen products, but did not af- feet powdered or dried eggs, which they said constitute the greatest menace to the industry.

It is acknowl- edged that even this program will not fully meet the needs, being only about two-thirds of the required total. But it is pointed out that it will be big advance over the present situation.

OUTLOOK SHOULD
BE STUDIED BY FARMERS.

The Agricultural Outlook prepared
by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies of the Federal Farm Board is
of very great Importance TO the farmers
in planning their crops for this year
The following is what they have to
say regarding the crops that pertain
to Charles County,
WHEAT-There is little IN the
wheat situation in the United States
and other countries at present to indi-
cate that prices for the 1880 crop of
the United States will be much differ
ent from those Prevailing for the 1929
crop, unless fall-sown wheat suffers
winter damage or the spring wheat
acreage is reduced. World stocks
will be somewhat lower on July 1880,
from year earlier. but the world
acreage will probably not be material.
ly changed and yields per acre are not
likely to be as low as in 1929, when
they were below average.
CORN-An increase corn crop would
yield lower price than in 1929 in view
of the possibility of lower feeding re-
quirements
HOGS-Hog prices in 1880 are ex-
pected to average at least as high as
in 1929, and possibly higher. A re-
duction in slaughter supplies is in
dictated, but this probably will be
partially Offset by decrease in for
eign and domestic demand for hog
products.
SHEEP and WOOL-The high piont
in the expansion of the sheep industry
has been reached, and it is unlikely
that prices for sheep and lambs can be
maintained at the high levels of the
last three or four years. Some reduc-
ton in world wool product, is ex-
pectsd by 1881, and 1t is likely that
demand will have improved by that
time.
TOBACCO-The outlook for cigar
tobacco types continues favorable, but
further increases inacreage seem justi-
fed in Virginia Fire Cured and Mary
land, stocks of which are relatively
low and demand good. Acreage about
the same as last year is recommended
for Henderson Stemming, Green River,
and Virginia Sun-Cufed, while decrease
in acreage is recommended for flus-
cured, Burley, One Sucker, Kentucky
and Tennessee Fire-C Cured.

Nova Scotian Island
Dreaded by Mariners

Every year, Sable island. on the
coast Of Nova Scotia, has had its tale
of disasters. During the war between
the French and the English, troop
ships were known to be dashed to
pieces in the terrific breakers. In 1746
the Due d'Anville lost a transport
and a fireship in a severe storm near
the island, and in 1851, one of the
vessels that had been with Wolfe at
Quebec was wrecked. A curious tsle
is told about the latter.
There was an old landmark on the
island in the form Of q pyramid Of
sand q hundred feet high. In 1872,
during a fearful hurricane, this was
completely blown away, and where 1t
had stood were some small huts built
from the timbers of wrecked ships.
The huts contained articles Of furni-
ture, bales of blankets, some military
shoes, and boxes of other goods. A
brass dog collar that was unearthed
bore the name of Major Elliott, Forty
third regiment. This was the regiment
wrecked in 1851, and examination Of
the records showed that the soldiers
who had been saved from Wolfe's
transport had been taken OFF the Is
land. The site Of their old eneamp.

This intellectual pastime frequently

schooled to think clearly and concise

It is a mental solvent that contains
those ingredients that make the eye
sharp, the spirit calm and the dis

q mysterious science dealing with pro

Like golf, the game takes posses

 Each succeeding picture in which Nancy Carroll plays reveals new and unsounded talents in this vivid person.

 But she does more, she dances a smart tap dance in a way that stamps Broadway all over it. And,

THREE TYPHOID CASESDEvELOP,
 SAYS D'vICHNE
Health Commissioner Finds Sanitation Bad at
 Klawock Village

Three cases of typhoid fever have developed at Klawock and there is chance that others will occur, said Dr. H. O. DeVighne, Territor- lal Commissioner of Health, wl1o re- turned here late yesterday from a survey of conditions in that In- dian settlement While the source of the disease could not be definitely located in the short time he spent there, he said it was not improbable that it came from one of three To- cal water systems.
 One of the cases is being treated lat a Wrangell hospital, another at Craig and the third is being cared for at Klawock. Typhoid vaccine in sufficient quantities to innoculate one time all of the residents of the illage, was left with Miss Agnes Fletcher, Government nurse, and additional supplies to complete the innoculation have been ordered for immediate delivery.
 Lack of sewer system, bad sani- tation and improperly safeguarded water supplies were found to exist, Dr. DeVighne said. He spoke at meeting of the villagers, pointing out these defects, urging proper notwithstanding of water and thorough cooking of vegetables to prevent a spread of the disease. As there has been a considerable number of active contacts and un- der existing sanitation conditions, he said it would be surprising if there were not more cases deeloped.
