FINED 525 FOR
MITO SPEEDING
Court Listens to Policeman’s
Story but Defendant
Will Appeal.
Accused of operating an automobile
along East Commerce street at a rat®
of approximately 20 miles an hour at
4 o’clock in the morning of April 11,
and with refusing to stop when called
upon by a policeman to do so, C. H.
Kellam was haled before Judge Buck
ley in the police court this morning.
The testimony of Officer Serna,
who made the arrest, was to th e ef
fect that when he saw the machine
approaching he ran out in the street,
flashed a bull’s eye lantern on the
auto and as it approached called to
the driver to stop'. He claims no heed
was paid and that the machine shot
past him at a rate he believed to be
20 miles an hour. The defendant was
later arrested at his home.
The defendant testified that he did
not see the officer when th e latter
hailed him. He admitted haviug been
running the machine at about eight
miles an hour and may have exceeded
the rate a little, but as to that he was
unable to say.
Judge Buckley Imposed a $25 fine
in the charge, alleging a violation ol
the speed ordinance, dismissing the
other charge. The defendant gave no
tice of appeal.

Thieves Break Into Meat Mar

Dressed chickens, juicy hams and

last night broke into the meat market
conducted by Will Barger, Avenue D

the sum total appropriated.
A rear door was pried open with a
heavy iron bar. The burglary was not
discovered until 4 o’clock this morn
ing, when the proprietor opened’ the
place. \
An investigation showed that noth
ing except the pennies in the cash
register had been taken. The register
had been left open for just such cases
in order that probable thieves might
not break it.
The burglary was reported to the
police authorities

Loss in Bad Eggs
SAYS * GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
Totals Huge Sum
Could Be Prevented if a Cam
paign of Education Is In
stituted Among Farmers of
the Country,
Washington, April 15. —Millions of
dollars are carried down the sewers
of the country in the shape of ''bad”
eggs, according to Milo M. Hastings,
scientific assistant of the bureau of
animal industry of the department of
agriculture. He has just completed
some interesting results of a study
made during the past year of the
conditions surrounding the production
and marketing of eggs, with a view
to determining causes of deterioration
in quality and consequent loss. Mr.
Hastings’ observations are presented
in a bulletin entitled jjfhe Egg Trade
of the United In this, publi
cation he calls to the enor
mous loss due to the spoiling of eggs
which it is •pointed out could largely
be prevented by improved methods.
Briefly. Mr. Hastings points out the
necessity first for a campaign of ed
ucation.among egg producers that will
show every farmer’s wife that when
eggs are allowed to remain in damp
nests under bloody* hens, or in hot
kitchens, there is a loss in quality
which means an actual loss of mon
ey to herself and to her neighbors;
and. secondly, a system of buying
eggs exactly in accordance with what
those eggs are worth.
“Although an individual farmer may
appear to make a few cents by hold
ing or nicking his eggs,” says Mr.
Hastings, ‘‘the gain is apparent only,
for the destruction of wealth involved
in the injury to the quality of the
egg must be borne by the farmer him
self. Above all else, the infallible
rule concerning the marketing of eggs
is for the farmer to sell his eggs as,
soon as possible after they are laid.’’
* The great bulk of the poultry,
wealth of the country is produced by
the general farms of the Mississippi
vallev. and it is also in this region
that the most rapid increase in pro
duction is shown. Some Idea of the
rapid growth of this industry in this
region mav be gained from the fig
ures for Kansas, the value of poultry
and eggs sold in that state increasing

in 1907.
In soite of the rajid increase in the
production of poultry products, the
supply has not kept pace with the
demand. The price of eggs for the
last ten or 12 years has shown not
only an absolute rise, but also a
relative rise when compared with the
general average of values of either
farm crops or food products. At
tention is called to the fact that tl»e
oualitv of American eggs in the gen
eral market is decidedly Inferior to
that of several European countries.
