What is more, the country is hos- tile to it, and whenever the issue is definitely drawn the president 'will win and Big Business will be beaten. With every economic question that has come before him the 'president has sought to deal prudently, cau- tionsly and sanely. No word of dem- agogy has fallen from his lips. He has indulged in,no reckless agitation; he has made no incendiary appeals to popular passion; he has neither de- nounced, nor abused, nor threatened He has sought to carry out no econ- omic policirrThat he wife rirt) electee specifically to carty - Mit, and yet the great business interests of the east have fought him at every step with every weapon at their command.

Big Business in politics is usually an ass. It was never more of an ass than when it undertook to bulldoze Woodrow Wil- son and this democratic congress. SAYING; OF SAGES.

The eighth added one to the Virginia score and when the Miners took the bat they were forced to give it up with now fifteen to twenty, and when the ninth inning for the Virginians was called, -the odds were two to one against them, and, in spite of their plucky endeavor to retrieve their lost ground, they were ,compelled to re- tire without a count, and gave up the Vane, leaving - the • Adobetevirr bop_ v c .,r - s - bffiv - e - funs and - one inning -to . . spare.

After the ball game the greased pig was turned loose on the ground, but the number of aspirants for his hogship was so great that he stood no show at all and was captured after a chase of about -fifty yards by a ranchman from Beaverhead. The next order was the sack race In which six entries were made. Pout. 18angements to perfection, and they of the boys mean - red their len - 1;th on were carried out with a precision which gave general satisfaction. The wend routine of Fourth of July eel*. brations was discarded on this occas- ion, and the reading of the time hon- ored Declaration of Independence, and thellow of oratory which usually form the principal features of these gatherings, were replaced by' more exciting and not less amusing fiel 9ports-Preciaaly-at-1.1 4>kdock ti was called for the 100 yards, free for all foot race, in which nine contest- ants came to the scratch. The race was well contested, and resulted in George Boettcher getting away with the first money, beating Charley Ba- ker, who took the second priie. by about one foot. There was no offic- ial record of the time taken, but we heard one man say the rah was made in 11% seconds,- whith is, if correct, pretty good running for \scrub\ rac- ers. The winner is the 2nd baseman of the Adobetown base ball club. The next was the wheelbarrow race, for which there were five starters. The first attempt . , was declared off, on ac- count of the people crowding the con- testants so that they all got huddled around the home stake. together. Ropes were then stretched along the side walk, the crowd kept back and a second start was made, this time -with three starters. When time was called, Clark Kellogg was found near- est the stake, and awarded first money; Charles Jacoby taking the second. This with a 100 yards race \on the side,\ between 'Wilson and Morgan, for what amount our report- er did not learn, ended the sports for the forepoon.

STORE EGGS NOW. • This is the time of year when the production of eggs far exceeds the consumption, while during October, November and December the oppos : . ite is usually true. It is desirable to tide over these lean -months by preserving in as fresh a condition as possible some of the eggs laid dur- ing the spring period of heavy pro- duction. \ Water glass (sodium silicate) is the best material for this purpose. Mix one part of water_ glass with eggs in a stone earthenivara crock, and pour the water glass holution over them until there is 'at least two inches of liquid eller the top layer of eggs. To obtain the best results with this method of egg preserve- ' tion, only sterile eggs should be pat..., In the crocks, and 'they must - be - 'cleanir cool and fresh, -that is, not over three days old. After being Put away, the eggs should not be disturbed-in any way until they are wanted for immediate. use. A cool cellar is the best place to store, and a cover should be placed a rather large number of small con- tainers, putting not more than five or six dozen eggs in each, in order that when the crock is opened, some of the eggs will not be spoiled be- fore all can be used. A safe rult to follow would be not to put away more than a week's consumption in -a crock. The coat pf this method is small, as one gallon of water glass will Ti•e- eetve about 75 dozen egi r tt:.
