The Triumph of the Egg
Est. Paul Dispatch)

ISL. Paul OlSpaGCu)
Poultry raising and eggs may still be to a large ex-
tent in Minnesota q side industry, but it has one, impor-
tant quality-"theres money in it." In hard dollars
and cents the business Of getting the little red hen
to lay brings greater value than mere "pin-money" re-
suits.
The forty-fifth annual show of the Minnesota Poul-
try Association last week was an exhibit of one OF Min
nesota's chief money making agricultural pursuits. The
value Of Minnesotas egg production in 1929 was $40
1872 900, a figure which places eggs far ahead OF wheat,
barley, flax or potatoes as sources of wealth for the farm
err. All the wheat raised in the state that year had P
value of only a little more than one-half that OF eggs
produced. Besides eggs, poultry raisers in Minnesota
sell thousands of chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese TO
the produce markets, the added value of which brings
the industry to the position Of one OF the most lucrative
farming pursuits.
The hen population of Minnesota now totals over ten
millions. The combined efforts Of all these Leghorns,
Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and other varieties, pro-
duce around $50 million dozens OF eggs which eventually
find their way to tables the country over. Fortunately
Americans are great egg eaters and chicken fancierS, IN
the consuming as well as producing sense.
America, although the greatest wheat producer, con-
sumes less bread per capita than any other. Therefore
it has been said that if Americans ate bread as they DO
poultry products there would be no wheat surplus. How
ever this may be, the nations taste for eggs and drum
sticks is not lost on the farner> That he Is rising to
meet the demand is shown by the. Department Of Agrl-
cultures annual report of a rapidly growing hen popu-
lation. The number of fowls in America in 1923 was
AL, 731 900, and the figure increases by about 10 per
cent every year. At this rate, the little red hen can
soon challenge the position Of the eagle as Americas
national bird.

Another Rain-Maker

The Pied Piper Of Hamlin has a great-great-grandson
The Pied Piper, you may remember, offered to remove all
the rats from Hamlin Town If the council would give
him enough guilders. But when the last gray rat had
tumbled into the river the council changed its mind, so
the merry Piper did a wholesale kidnapping stunt and
locked the children up in q hill.
Now Dr.. George Ambrosius Emmanuel Morrison Sykes,
the director OF an organization which he calls the
Weather Control Bureau, has made an offer to the five
boroughs Of New York City that he will replenish the
city's water supply at the rate Of So, 600 an inch or for
q flat guarantee Of $780, 900 for IL inches Of rain over a
period of 80 days.
More than a year ago, at the Belmont races, DR..
Sykes had q contract to receive $1,000 a day if he could
hold off the rain that week. But the last day it sprinkled
occasionally so he had to forfeit $4,000, although he re-
ceived payment for the other days.
II Dr.. Sykes Is able to take charge Of the rain, people
with too much money will have another diversion. They
can call up the weather magnate and prescribe the kind
that they want.
Farmers will be able to chip in and order so many
inches Of rain in the way that they cooperate to buy
feed by the carload.
Weather fo~recasters won't know what to prescribe.
The water witches, who used to go around the country
locating hidden springs with a crotched stick, could have
asked more money II they had drawn their water from
the sky instead Of the earth.
But we'll take a raincoat along only when the govern
uaent meteorologists say it is going to storm.

Man of a Thousand Hands

Warrington Dawson, news dispatches tell us, is an
attache of the American embassy in Paris who has writ
ten II books despite q paralysis which makes it all but
impossible for him to move.
However, his mind stays active and he calls himself
the Man of a Thousand Hands," because SO many
people are willing to assist him in the work Of historical
research.
nature in this brief set of facts.
Dawsons courage is appealing. Here is a man in a
situation which amounts to a living death. Yet. his
spirit carries on, and with outstanding bravery he re-
tains his mental balance and strives to do a work which
interests him. It takes courage to do that. To most OF
us it would seem a great deal easier to give up and die.
The other side of the picture comes from the willing
ness of so many people to help a helpless man. 1t profits
them nothing, and yet they offer their assistance. Out
of charity, perhaps, but quite as likely from sheer ad-
miration of a spirit which will not be quenched until
life, itself, has ended.

The Dog and His Day

More than $500 pedigreed dogs are barking hilarious
y at one another at Americas biggest dog show, in New
York city. And not an Airdale or a collie among them
realizes that they are really holding a dogs rights con-
vention.
The health commissioner Of New York city has pre-
dicted that dogs may be barred from that city within a
few years. The population is growing rapidly. Quar-
influence around.
1t IS probably q wise prediction. Especially for the
dogs. For no dog should be shut up in a bandbox OF a
room when there are meadows to roam and high green
hills to climb. No dog should have to sniff at trails
which he may never take. He belongs to the outdoors
and he should have the privilege of his %birthright.
Dogs miss so much when they live in cities. They
can't have a lazy sort Of fellowship with the dog next
door, or get a little honest pride out of sending some
body's kitten s~currying up a tree. There aren't any
small boys with whom they can roam, wagging their tails
at life in general They have to let someone put q
leather leash around their necks and lead them decorous-
ly down a paved street. And it's hard on a dog.
The canine fraternity is making its last stand in New
York City, perhaps. Maybe outstanding members Of the
clan won't be called together after a while. And Of
course they may miss the silver cups and blue ribbons
which they admire.
But the great middle class of the dog ~world-the group
that isn't Representative going to be mighty glad II 1t
gets a chance to return to a paradise where there are
lawns and playfelows, and freedom of the roads, and
no ban on barking.

The Dancing Prince

please and nobody knows or cares.

world, and the maiden IS asked just how 1t felt to have

Miss Eleanor Nichols, daughter of Naval Commander
Newton Lord Nichols, Is the latest girl to have been inter-
viewed on the subject. With splendid judgment she
told the questioners that the Prince Is q very likeable,
human young man. She enjoyed her dane. with him.
She probably never even gave q thought to the blazon-
ed heraldry that belongs to . princes train. and he

d Is the
Anniversary Of
BIRTH OF

BIRTH OF Nautilus
On Feb. IA, l766, Thomas r. NAL
thus, famed English economist, was
born in Surrey, England.
After private tutoring at home,
Nautilus entered Cambridge, from
which he graduated in 1888. Just 10
years later he published his celebrat-
ed Essay on the Principle Of Popula-
ton as It Affects the Future Inn
provement Of Society,"" q publication
On which mis- fame largely rests.
In. this essay Nautilus maintained
that population tends to increase out
o. proportion to the increase of means
of subsistence. He predicted a period
of over-population on the earth and
advocated moral restraint in order to
check the birth rate.
Beginning in 1907. Nautilus held,
throughout the remainder Of his life,
the professorShip Of history and poll
tlcal economy in the East India Com
pany's college at Haileybury.

Married Women Workers
New York Times)

Most married women have always worked. For Gen.
turtles no one objected. They worked long hours IN tneH
own homes. Some of them handled the cash Tor house
hold expenses. Women were praised Tor working unoer
these circumstances. But now that they are working 1or
pay outside their homes, much comment is-of a different
sort. Objection Is chiefly concentrated on the married
women workers. It is easily taken for granted that q
married woman is supported by her husband merely pc
cause all married women used to be. An example OF TINS
unwarranted assumption was the resolution Just voted
down in the state legislature to exclude married women
from teaching. Only those submitting proof that their
husbands earned too little to support them were 10 De
permitted to keep on in the schools. -.
In a period of wide unemployment the first tnougnt
may be that jobs should be given to those who need them
most. II this idea were carried TO It's Logical conclusion,
men earning more than they actually need should have
their incomes reduced to cover only the necesslues. N0
man with private means would be allowed to work until
every one had a job. Those who believe that married
turned out for women who may be less competent would
probably be the last to agree to any such
idea pressed to It's conclusion.
Ethel M. johnson, assistant commissioner OF the de-
partment Of labor and industries. has q discussion OF mar
ried women workers in the February American Fedora
zionist. She has had access to all the recent bulletins OF
the United States Wonans Bureau and to various otner
surveys. She concludes that women are themselves rapao-
women are working in factories. offices, professions OF
heading their own businesses, most OF them cite economic
reasons as the motive for work outside the home. since
1890 there has been q more rapid advance IN the numper
OF married women workers than In the entire group OF
women gaiufully employed. Dr.. David Sneeden OF Teach
erx college believes that this situation, particularly with
regard to married women "of superior culture, family

Yious and rapidly growing menace to eugenic family me-

EAT TURNIRS AND KEEP YOUNG
II you are looking around for q low
priced a~ttractive> vegetable to serve
this winter, do not forget the turnip.
In the big markets this widely used
vegetable usually sells for about five
cents a bunch. BY choosing q bunch
with the tops In good condition, the
tops may be used for turrip green's
ana the roots for vegetables, thus get
ting two dishes for the price Of one.
Recently q lady wrote me, "fIow do
you expect poor folks to buy 60 many
vegetables as you recommends" She
went on to say, rs one cooked vege-
table per day enough? It seems to
me they are all 20 high we can't az
ford them" I hope that she sees this
article. My advice to her Is to use
more turnips, carrots, beets and the
less expensive vegetables. They can
be prepared In such . variety Of ways
that they need never become mono
tonouS.
Everyone Is familiar with turnips,
which usually come In two colors. the
white and yellow. The large yellow
turnips are usually called ~rutabagas
and lean toward the cabbage family,
while the white turnips lean toward
the mustard group. Turnips and
rutabagas r valuable for the po-
tassium which they contain. This is
IN element which keeps us young.
Potassium Is good for those who are
thin and tire easily. It is essential
for the vigor Of the brain and nerv-
Gus system and assists to combat
acidosis, or an acid tendency, and
helps to prevent hardening of the ar
teries and similar troubles Of old age.
Since turnips r especially rich in
this element, those desiring strength
and youth should use them frequent
~. TurnipS also contain sodium and
magnesium, and when freshly pressed
out, the Juice Of the turnip contains
anti-scorbutic properties. The ten
der turnip tops make excellent green's,
with a flavor all their own. The
small leaves may also be used raw in
salads. The larger leaves may be
cooked with an equal amount of spin
ach leaves and make q good dish.
Greens Of this type are needed in the
diet on account Of their abundance
in mineral elements, which render the
blood more alkaline, and also be-
cause they furnish bulk to the intes-
tines. The roots may be boiled in a
small amount Of water and then
mashed, being served with butter.
They should be washed well and
scrubbed with q vegetable brush, but
never scrape them. as this removes
the organic salts under the skin and
at the same time destroys some Of
the agreeable flavor.

Must Have Their Fun

Clerks Of the house and senate will put on their an
nual show for members Of the legislature Monday after
noon.
In accordance with long established custom, they will
conduct q third house." in which the regular assembly
will be lampooned.
Leaders Of all political factions are bound to come in
for c~aricature. They always have, and it IS only fair
to assume that the rule will be followed this year.
+. Somewhere in the house or senate there Is a clerk
who may have longed to give an imitation Of Mr.. L. l..
Twichell in action. Somewhere else there may be one
who desires to lampoon Mr. o. E. Erickson, the minority
leader. They will have q chance Monday.
John w. Carr, as presiding officer Of the senate. will
ana senate who have made themselves conspicuous in
any manner may expect to hear their names mentioned.
It always has been clean fun, even though q dart may
be concealed here and there. but it is a concession which
the legislature always has made to those long suffering
souls who assist in its work. For SO days the employees
of the assembly listen to voices other than their own.
They think thoughts and have ideas, some solemn and
some gay. On Monday these ideas will burgeon forth
into action.
It is good for the employees to let Oft steam and good
for the legislature to have them do so, for it casts an
enlightening glow upon what Is. Of necessity. serious
business.
Along about this time Of the session, members Of the
house and senate are liable to begin losing their sense
of humor. The third house session helps to restore it.
In the jests and jibes of the clerks and employees there
may be hidden some bits Of fundamental balance which
the legislators, concerned with important things, may
have overlooked.
1t does no harm for anyone, even a legislator. to have
his fun. ~@s ~y. ~@
