Marx teems him highly and has utmost confidence In his ability to handle the big job put in his bands. Doctor Marx, who was born In Ohio in 1857, was educated In Cornell university uni-versity and in Germany. He was United States assistant engineer on Missouri river improvement fifty years ago, and afterward was on the faculties of Cornell, Wisconsin and Stanford universities. His home is in Palo Alto. ONE of the strange developments of the times Is the farmers' strike that was started In Iowa for the purpose of forcing higher prices for farm produce and that spread to some extent In other states of the central west The Iowa farmers farm-ers undertook to compel all agriculturists agricul-turists of the state to withhold their products from market, and In some regions, notably about Des Moines, picketed the highways and stopped nearly all trucks carrying vegetables and live stock to the city. Deputy sheriffs were instructed instruct-ed to keep the roads open, but few farmers cared to run the blockade. City milk distributors obtained sufficient suf-ficient supplies by train, but urban-Ites urban-Ites had to rely on home gardens for their vegetables. In North Dakota the farmers united to withhold their wheat from market until the price shall reach $1 a bushel, and their leader said this movement had made progress in eleven states. Plana for financing finan-cing the threshing bills of farmers who promised to hold back their wheat were being worked out MAYOR JIMMY WALKER of New York put In another strenuous week trying to convince Governor Roosevelt that he should not be removed from office. The examination ex-amination conducted conduct-ed by the governor went Into all facts connected with Walker's relations with Russell T. Sherwood, who handled the mayor's may-or's financial affairs af-fairs and has long been missing; and with many other Mayor Walker charges made by Samuel Seabury. During the questioning ques-tioning there was a lot about an "unnamed woman" who was unofficially unof-ficially admitted to be Betty Comp-ton, Comp-ton, an actress now living In England. Eng-land. The evidence before the legislative leg-islative committee had shown that this person, whose name was not then revealed, received a check for $7,500 from a brokerage account of Mayor Walker's and that cash and stocks valued at $75,000 were turned over to her from the various accounts of Sherwood. The mayor la his testimony referred re-ferred to the "unnamed person" as having been his personal friend; he offered to explain his "arrangement" "arrange-ment" with ber, as It was expressed ex-pressed on one occasion, but the governor refused to permit an explanation. ex-planation. Throughout the trial Governor Roosevelt has fhown a commendable commend-able determination to get at the truth and frequently found occasion occa-sion to squelch Walker's counsel John J. Curtln. To the laymaa at a distance It seemed that the efforts ef-forts of the attorney did nothing to help the mayor's ease to put it mildly. Supreme Court Justice Staley issued is-sued an order compelling Roosevelt to delay his decision in the case until un-til after a hearing on a writ of injunction, in-junction, and there was a good prospect that court proceedmgs would block removal of the mayor.

I -1 I BE THREE GOOD RULES FOR QUALITY EGGS Keep Them Clean, Cool, and Gather Often. Fire Wood U Scarce In Iraq. (Preparsd by th KatlonU OMgnphte Society, Washington. D. C.) (WNU 8ervlc.) IRAQ, where American explorers recently discovered a complete historic township, dating from the early fourth millennium, Is the modern name for the traditional Garden of Eden, historically known as Mesopotamia. Many historians hold that somewhere In Iraq in the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates Euphra-tes rivers Is to be found the cradle of civilization. Upon the breaking up of the Turkish empire following the World war Mesopotamia became a British Brit-ish mandate which was erected Into the Arab kingdom of Iraq with a Mohammedan prince from Mecca upon the throne. Such Is the latest form assumed by the Phoenix among nations. In the last six thousand thou-sand years Babylonian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Persian, Greek, Roman and Saracen civilizations have flourished flour-ished in Mesopotamia, each rising from the ashes of its predecessor. The great Irrigation works which, throughout the centuries, had kept the Tigris-Euphrates valley green, rich and flourishing were destroyed by Invading Mongols and allowed to decay by heedless Turks. The Garden of Eden became a treeless desert except for a few date palms along the river banks. Cities like Baghdad and Basra fell into decay de-cay and seemed fast approaching the fate which had overtaken Ur and Babylon, where Jackals howl above a lonely waste. Then followed a rebirth during the throes of the great war. Once more boats crowded the swift and treacherous reaches of the Tigris. Once more the bazaars of Baghdad and Basra and Mosul hummed with world traffic Marauding desert robber tribes were kept in perpetual perpet-ual peace by airplanes humming over their remote villages. Sanitary regulations and electric lighting made town and country both more safe and more healthful Ice factories fac-tories and soda water establishments establish-ments helped alleviate summer days of 120 degrees In the shade. Levees were built to keep the flooding flood-ing rivers within their banks and slowly bit by bit work was begun on repairing Irrigation works and building railroads. Thus was modern mod-ern Iraq born. The new kingdom under British mandate embraces the valley of the Tigris-Euphrates between the Arabian Ara-bian desert on one side and the Persian uplands on the other. To the northwest lies the French mandate man-date of Syria and to the north the Kurdish highlands of Turkey. Southward South-ward stretches the Persian gulf, the country's salt water outlet to the wide world. Within this strip of territory are barely 3,000,000 people where once flourished a population denser than that of modern Belgium. Bel-gium. What Baghdad la Like. - There are three principal cities: Mosul of oil fame, is in the north ; Baghdad, the capital in the central part; and the Important port of Basra in the south. Of the three Bajrhdad perhaps Is most famous. From the deck of a Tigris steamer steam-er Baghdad looms up boldly, Its splendid skyline of domes and minarets min-arets reminding one of some "Midway" "Mid-way" of World's fair memory. An odd pontoon bridge conects the two parts of the city, separated by the yellow Tigris. On the west bank la the old town, Inclosed by date and orange groves. From here the Baghdad-Mosul railway starts on Its long run across the trackless desert East of the river, on the Persian side, Is "new" Baghdad, with Its government offices, barracks, consulates, con-sulates, prisons, etc. Beyond, as far as the eye can reach In every direction, stretches the vast flat treeless, empty plain of Mesopotamiaa region once more populous than Belgium. The present custom house at Baghdad Is a wing of the old palace of Harum-al-Rashld ; yards of scrawling Arabic characters, cut In marble panels, still adorn Its historic his-toric walls. Eaghdad arteries of traffic are mere alleys, often so narrow that two donkeys cannot pass. Once Turkish soldiers tried to move ar tillery through Baghdad. The streets were so narrow the horses had to be unhitched, and men cioved the guns by hand. A great wall encircles Baghdad, with ruarded gateways, as in medieval days. Flat-roofed, hud' died Moorish bouses, many almost wlndowless and each surrounding Its own open court are a distinct feature of the older parts of Bagh dad. On these flat roofs Arabs spend the summer nights with torn toms, flutes, water-pipes, and dancing danc-ing women. Facing the river, re moved from the Arab town, are built the imposing foreign consul ates, mercantile offices, and the sumptuous homes of rich Jews, Armenians, Ar-menians, Greeks and Syrians the men who make new Baghdad. Old City Mostly In Ruins. But the Baghdad of All Buba'i day, with the splendor of Aladdln'i enchanted age, Is gone forever. The palaces, the mosques, and minarets are mostly In ruins. Even the tomb of lovely Lads Zobelda. favorite wife of Harun-al-Rashld, Is tumbled down and decayed. It is Into mod ern monuments to New Baghdad into roads, bridges, public build lugs, Irrigation works, army organ ization, dredging the Tigris, etc.- that the 'Young Turks put their money. Modern Baghdad Is in safer hands; no dissipated royalty guards its gates. Sober, clear-headed men drilled In the best schools of mod ern Europe, able to hold their own anywhere, administer Its affairs. As late as 1830 the Tigris overflowed Its banks, swept through Baghdad, and drowned 15,000 people in one night Till lately Baghdad, more than any other city in the Near East has been slow to yield to Europe': influence. For centuries Baghdad kept close to the Bedouin life, un der the sway of nomad customs. Even now Baghdad's famous ba zaars, despite her evolution In other ways, are conducted as they were a thousand years ago. These Arab trading places have changed not one whit since Abraham's time. Here Is barter and sale as Marco Polo found It as it was In the days of the Three Wise Men who brought gifts for Bethlehem. Basra Is situated on the Shatt cl-Arab, cl-Arab, a river formed by the union of the Tigris and Euphrates. Smaller Small-er centers of importance, such as Kut and Amara, follow each other at Intervals the entire length of the valley. Most of the Inhabitants are Mohammedan Arabs, though in the cities are many Jews, while in the mountainous north are settle ments of Nestorlan Christians dat ing from very early times. Arabs Who Work In Factories. City Arabs have taken readily to the ways of civilization and seem glad for the chance to work In Ice and cotton cloth factories, and upon engineering and public works. Much agricultural land has been reclaimed, re-claimed, the date palm, of which more than sixty varieties are known, being the chief product Wheat, barley and rice are also grown, and experiments with cotton are being made. Flowers, pumpkins and vegetables veg-etables are planted In the date orchards or-chards where the palms protect tender ten-der leaves below from the scorching summer sun. These green spots are still chiefly confined to the regions of the river banks. The rest of the lower valley is swamp or treeless plain. - In the spring months when snows are melting on near-by mountain ranges the Tigris and Euphrates become be-come swollen torrents and often overflow their banks and inundate the surrounding country. Just as they did In the days of Noah. The new regime Is taking active steps In flood prevention by strengthening strengthen-ing river banks In low places and damming up the flow at headwaters. There has been no serious flood since 1919 when the Tigris rose to within a foot of the level of Baghdad Bagh-dad and the lower valley became one vast lake wherein man and beast vainly sought for safety.

Eggs sliould be kept clean, gathered three times a day. and stored in a cool place until ready to ship. By storing eggs In a cool place as soon as they are gathered. It is fairly easy to keep the size of the air cell to a minimum. This checks evaporation through the shell and helps Insure a small percentage of stale eggs. Clean eggs may be produced by providing one nest for every five hens, by covering the perches with wire, and by confining the birds to the laying house until the majority of the eggs are gathered. Kgga can also be soiled if the bands of the attendant are wet or damp and soiled. Still another practice, which Is one of the most Important from the standpoint of producing Quality eggs, Is the practice of gathering eggs at least two or three times a day. This helps to keep the eggs clean and cool Experience shows that farmers gathering eggs even five to six times a day are well re paid if they market their produce on a graded basis.

Broilers Fattened Well on Cereal Ration Alone A test was carried on at the poul try division, Central experimental farm, Ottawa, Canada, comparing two rations, one of which contained meat meal and the other cereal feeds only, for fattening broilers. Equal parts of ground wheat, ground oats and ground barley made up the cereal ration with the addition of 10 per cent of meat meal to the other. oth-er. Both were fed three times dally. using sour sklmmllk as a mixer and mixing each feed one feeding In advance. ad-vance. Two lots of chickens seven weeks of age were used. Thirty-seven Thirty-seven birds were In one and thirty- six In the other group. These birds were banded and weighed Indlvldu ally In grams at the beginning, at the end of the first week and at the end of the experiment (fourteen days). The average gain for the two lots was practically Identical, the difference being only one-tenth of an ounce per bird. , ASK YOUB DBUGCI8T FOB APEX AN INTEBMOUNTAIN FRODUCT Double Incubator Service Double service from brooding equipment netted Mrs. Ell Brlncr, Oskaloosa, an extra ?ro last season, says the Kansas Farmer.
