ODAY, Graham, the program Is going

Well it happened that could find no better
substitute than a radio comedian, since a call
on him meant combining busines with slumber,

injustice Of things. There was mama. For
81 years she had slaved and pinched and wor-

trooped daily an endless stream Of men intent
upon getting contracts for lumber. stone. plumb

Wallie Cowan came In late Of rainy, windy
afternoon to sell . bill Of stone work-foun-
tains, benches, urns for entrances and court
yards. But the bosses weren't In, and he en-
deavored, therefore, to make solid his cause
with Carroll, who, as secretary, might put In
good word for him when he called again. At
the end of half an hour, however, he didn't
care whether he sold the bosses or not. When

"Of course not!" chorused the boys. We'll

"Oh, you WILL will you?" Carroll knew just
how much of a chance they had of doing that.
The boys waxed belligerent. They would

But they didn't. They did not get an apart

there was papa's second wife.

which she was not. But she was attractive In

80 and 40. she was, with smooth black hair,
shrewd brown eyes and high coloring. She
knew about clothes and massage and manicures.
She said to the children: Call me Fanny.

She had q maid in the house right from the

Streets that are less-than- concrete
pile an extra burden on every mo-

them. Day after day, such streets

Dollars-and-cents figures, gath

For Storing Eggs

The water glass method 70 pre-
serve eggs is probably the most
popular used in farm homes. The
liquid water glass can he purchased
at most drug stores. To each pint
of this liquid add 10 pints of water
that has been boiled and allowed
to cool Stir this mixture thorough
ly in a three-gallon jar, and then
put in the eggs. Care must be TAX
en- when placing the eggs in the
jar so they will not crack when
reaching the bottom. Cover the jar
with a thick cloth and paper to ex-
clude as much air as possible.
After the mixture has been pre-
pared. you may add the eggs as
they are gathered until the jar is
full, always being careful to cover
the jar again each time. Store in
cool place and the eggs will keep
for a year. There is also a COM
mercial salve compound that can be
purchased that is spread or rubbed
on the eggs. This salve is said TO
close the pores Of the egg she'll and
thereby prevent them from becom-
ing stale.-Indiana Farmers Guide.

Poultry Meat Deserves
Attention and Thought

The production OF poultry meat
deserves more attention and
thought If the maximum profits are
to be derived above the labor and
feed costs. The different breeds of
chickens vary In the ultimate size
of body at maturity. Valuable data
have been found In an analysis Of
the present edible meat to the live
and dressed bird, with cratefed
stock representing four different
types commonly kept by farmers
and commercial pOultrymen.
Roasters, twenty-eight weeks old
Of four leading breeds. were care
fully weighed and the amount Of
edible meat in relation to live
weight determined. Buff OrpingtOns
showed slightly over so per cent of
the live weight to be edible; Rhode
Island Reds. 1910 per cent; Ply
mouth Rocks. 49.06. and White Leg
horns. 4363 per cent.
This wide range between the
heavier types and the Leghorns
points out the necessity of dispos-
ing Of the LeghOrn males as brOil-
ers rather than carry them to the
roaster stage. The heavier stock
eat more feed but not relatively
more for the weight attained at ma
turity. Very little difference ex-
lists between the types in dressing
percentage. but the per cent edible
meat to dressed carcass Is quite
striking. The difference Of IL per
cent edible meat as shown between
the Orpington and the Leghorn, and
10 per cent between Red or Rock
and the LeghOrn. indicates the rel
ative difference of the two general
types for the production of meat
