Ana "™ OB SUNDAY By o hoe has been worn by three generations of men and women, and with every generation has deserved and enjoyed the reputation of being a good shoe, always honestly made from the best material. It is sold today by more leading merchants than any other shoe manufactured in the Northwest: 1. Because we are the only house in the Northwest which makes its different grades of shoes in separate factories, thus insuring the highest degree of workmanship in each. 2. Because every pair of shoes we make has back of it the guaranty of more than a million dollars capital and of more than half a century’s record of honorable dealing. 3. Because we carry the largest shoe stock in the Northwest and can fill our orders most promptly. Our factories now cover nearly seven acres of floor space, but what we are most proud of is the quality of our output. No house in the world excels us in this, and our persistent policy is that in quality we shall be first. We make shoes for men, women and children at all prices, and every shoe we make is the best for the price. BIG LOSS DUE TO BAD ECCS Hen Owner Might Increase His Profit Through Care. S0ME FIGURES FROM WASHINGTON Pureau of Animal Industry Issues a Ofreular Bulletin Dealing with the Mutter in Its Varie ous Phases. The bureau of animal. industry of the Department of Agriculture has just issued a circular by Milo M. Hastings presenting the results of a study made during the last year of the conditions surrounding the pro- duction and marketing of eggs, with a view to determining the causes of deterloration n quality and consequent loss. It appears that there is an enormous loss due to the spolling of eggs, which could be largely prevented by improved methods, and In this article the causes of such loss are pointed out and suggestions made for rem- edying them. According to Mr. Hastings the bulk of the poultry wealth of the United States is to be found on the general farms of the Mississippl valley. Some idea of the growth of the pouitry Industry on these general farms Is shown in the case of the state of Kansas, where exclusive poultry farms are practically unknown, yet the value of poul- try and eggs soM has increased over $1,000.- 000 each year for the last five years. Figures on Actual Loas. The total loss to the egg trade caused by needless deterioration runs into large fig- ures. The causes of the losses and their estimated proportion to the total crop value wre summed up as follows: Dirty eggs, 2 per cent;’ breakage, 3 per cent; chick de- velopment or heated eggs, 6 per cent; shrunken of held eggs, 6 per cent; rotten eggs, 2.6 per cent; moldy or bad flavor, 0.5 per cent; total, 17 per cent. The loss - from chick deyelopment or heated eggs Is probably greater than from any other source, and s especially heavy @Quring the summer in the south and west, where it amounts to 2 or 3 per cent of the egg® produced during the heated sea- son. The responsibility for heated eggs Is almost wholly with the farmer, although the rural buyer and the freight handler are In nowise lanocent. “ro save the millions of dollars which are carried down our sewers in the shape of bad eggs,” says Mr. Hastings, ‘‘we must have, first, & campalgn of education among egg producers that will show every farmer's wife that when eggs are allowed | to remain In damp nests, under broody hens, or in hot kitchens tnere is a loss in quality which means an actual loss In money to herself and to her neighbors OFFICE, Room 3 210 South Fourteenth St. Real Estate and Insurance and secondly, a system of buying esgs that will as nearly as possible recompense every producer who sells eggs exactly in accord- ance with what those eggs are worth. Above all else, the infallible rule concern- ing the marketing of eggs s for the farmer to sell his eggs as soon as possible after they are laid.” Retuiler Makes Profit. The profits of the city retaller are by far the largest item in the marketing of eggs. An approximate idea of the profits of the various handlers of eggs may be obtained from the following figures show- ing the elements of cost of a dozen eggs purchased by a New York consumer: Cents. Paid to the farmer in lowa. 1 Profit of the country store Gross profit of the shipper. Freight to New York Gross profit to recelver. Gross profit to jobber. Loss trom candling Gross profit of retailer.. Cost to consumer. e B In the opinion of Mr. Hastings, the great- est handicap to the egg trade is the general store, with its custom of bartering mer- chandise for eggs. The storekeeper reckons his profit on goods as more than his loss on eggs. He does not try to enforce Im- provement upon his patrons by buying on a quality basis, and with the advan- tage his peculiar position gives him he keeps the other egg buyer from doing so. The circular discusses quite generally the various phases of the esg Industry, and may be obtained free of charge by ad- dressing a request to the Bureau of Animal | Industry, Washington, D.

SAINTS GO TO INDEPENDENCE Kansas City Suburb Chosen as Next Meeting Place by Mormon Confe LAMONI, Ia, April Thursday and Friday's session of the church conference of Latter Day Saints passed rather quietly, belng devoted mostly to routine work. The church recorder reported showing 3,000 baptisms for the year, which is considered a good showing in view of the fact that conversion with this sect means considerably more than with other churches. The auditing committee made report and recommended the adoption of certain methods in the keeping of the financial accounts of the bishop. This brought about the first tiit of the meetings, when Bishop Kelley rose to a quetion of privilege and made answer to certain features of the auditor's report. The whole matter was made a special order for April 10, when some action will likely be taken. Thursday evening was given over to the Daughters' of Zion, an auxillary soclety among the women. A mixed program was given partly under the direction of Miss Wellemeyer and Miss Gaines, members of the faculty of Graceland college. Independence, Mo., has been the place selected for the holding of the next confer- ence. Independence Is virtually a suburb Kansas City, Mo., and the largest branch of the church is there. CHINESE COLLECTION HELD UP Authorities Assert Valuable Scien- tific Photographs and Paintings Are Obscene. 10.—(Special.)— CHICAGO, April 10.—A sclentific collec- tion made in China by Prof. Bertholdt | Laufer of Columbia university for the Fleld museum of Chicago has been held up here by Collector of Customs Ames. The action was based on the bellef that the collection, valued at several thousands of dollas i obscene. The selzure was made last October, but by agreement the matter was kept a secret until today. At that time United States District Judge Landls listened to arguments in chambers. It was admitted that the importation of the collection instituted a technical violation of the Jaw, but it was Ikewise admitted that the collection formed an essentlal basls for sclentific Investiga- tion, Judge Landis stated that he had no doubt the photographs, paintings, manuscripts, ete.. were brought into this country for a perfectly proper purpose, but he saw no way, without a technical violation of the law, of releasing them. He informed coun- sel for the museum that he would withhold @ decislon. Apparently no solution of the difficulty has been found.
