ASSOCIATED COMPANIES .The William Allen White Commit tee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, of which the editor is the head, is in deep trouble a t present. White was facing public sentiment and had to issue some sort of a statement and let “loose his idea that “The Yanks Are Not Coming”. About one-half of his committee has gone sour on the statement. They want immediate in tervention and they thought Roose velt was going to come out stronger than he did for sending the boys over. The White-committee .is now useless, I t was Roy Howard, head of the United Press, that pumped White for a statement and then sent it over the wires as a copyrighted'article.

Every mem ber of congress is aware of the secret agreement made by Roosvelt and King leorge. The Southern congressmen *nd senators will likely stand behind toOsevelt and—any demand—England- .na'kes. The South' is naturally in ympathy with England for the offer f that country during the early days if the Civil War to provide guns, iowder, soldiers, warships, against he north. Jeff Davis and the southern ebels that had declared' war on the orth over slavery, accepted the offer rom England. .,By this time ,the hand »f President Abraham Lincoln came .o the surface and with a dare bluffed the^English Tories_._The South has .icver had tho opportunity of paying England back with interest until "to day. • ■ We get the tip from Washington that there is a score or more stuff- .hirted Englishmen living about the /arious state departments.

"While elec* trie fences have met with general acceptance because the cost of the fence and the cost of operation to materially less than the standard type of stock fencing, all electric fencing does not have a clear slate of safety. Reports by investigators have shown several instances where stock has been killed by wiring th a t was Improperly charged,’ In some in stances it was homemade contrap tions which were rigged up by-per sons who did not know what degree of shock the apparatus was deliver ing "and did not understand how much shock was necessary or safe for live stock. A word of caution to those who might- be contemplating installing on electric-fence would be to secure- the equipment from those sources which have had •extensive experi ence and hqve the equipment- on a safe basis. The buyer also should follow throughout the directions by the. manufacturer for safely, install ing the controller. No person should* attempt to in stall a homemade apparatus with out first consulting some person competent of giving information as to safety precautions to-be followed. The proper grounding of the wiring system and electrical equipment around farm buildings is also im portant, as a slight shock from im properly grounded system® has been known to kill cattle. 4 9 3 b Twin Thrill fitteat Ring in the valiant man and free, .

D. 2, South Solon, Q, > (3t) Eggs With Thick Whites’ \ Are in Greater Demand 1 Eggs with a large quantity of thick albumen, or thick white, a-e regarded as of excellent quality. Consumers also want eggs with a large percentage of thick white be- cause it'stands" up- well arbuntl the' yolk^when broken. Such eggs are particularly in demand for poach ing. " Some fresh eggs have more thick white than others, and poultry spe cialists, of the United States depart ment of agriculture have been ex perimenting to find out why. They find that a hen’s ability to lay eggs with thick white is an in- herited^characteristic. They find that some hens lay eggs with a 1 greater percentage of thick white [ than .other hens of the same breed and in the same flock. The season, has a slight effect on ,th e .percentage, of thick white, but: other factors, such a®'feed, periqds of light and heavy production, and egg weight do not affect the per centage. At the national agricultural re search center, Beltsville, Md., Dr. C, W. Knox, geneticist of the bureau of animal industry, has bred, two flocks which further prove that the thick white characteristic is inherit ed. One flock lays eggs’that aver age. 68 per cent thick white. Eggs from the other flock average only 45 per cent thick white. The aver- . age fresh qgg has from 50 to 52 per cent thick white. • i t J E N N I E f » STARTS gUNJDKIf" / h S l t l« K» « « « » » « ! »RM | .! its si M w ttil’ktom n e w VVESLEYRUGGIIS* iiMMii itH iitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiM im iiiiiiiiiiiiiim iu iim m iiiiiiM im ti OPTOMETRIST Tree Booster Young trees never stop growing, when they are moved from the nur's- =„ _ _ _ _ * _ _ s ery to permanent locations, if a I F.
