I am glad I met you. You will tell me what to do. I can always tell a person what to dol pompously replied Mr. Bowser. Go right ahead and tell me about the full-lengt- discovery. It is like this," said Mr, Jones. I was waiting for the car, about six blocks down the street, when I saw a man sneak Into an alleyway, between the' cobbler shop and the grocer. He carried something under his arm and he carried It mighty carefully. My suspicions were aroused at once. Thats right, said Mr. Bowser, as Alhe- patted: him- on the shoulder. Go on. ways have suspicions. The man ran out of the other end of the passage, and I went in to see what he- half been up to. I found a box in there, which he had left. It was about the size of a cigar box and wrapped' up in brown paper. I did not dare to lift It up, but I got down n my knees and listened to see if I there- was any clockwork inside. didnt hear anything like a clock, but I did smell something which gave out an awful smell. Does an infernal machine give out an awful smell? Most certainly, was the reply. They give out a smell of sulphuric add: Thats the way the police find them. It was the same kind of a smell that hair dye gives out, but It cant be hair dye. No, sir no, sir! Its an Infernal machine!

The two- walked down the street, and; at length, Mr. Jones pointed out the passage. It wasnt so very dark In there, as an electric light, across the street, shed some of Its beams. While Mr. Jones went across the street, Mr. Bowser stood for a moment, peering and smelling. Cold chills passed over him and he- - felt the perspiration gtart- on. his scalp.

There was heroic work ahead, and the paper would give Mrs. Bowser columns of Prepared by the United States Depart--- I ment of Agriculture. From 26 local egg circles which left the problem still unsolved, to a statewide association with central offices in Portland, is' the step taken by poultrymen in Oregon in solving the problems. The story, officials of the bureau of markets and crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture believe, points a lesson for egg producers In other parts of the country. Recent reports of the success of the association were received by them with much interest, as being an outgrowth of community egg circles along lines advocated by the department. Egg circles, they say, are good to start small groups of producers along the right course, but do not solve the I larger problems, for as soon as a circle grows to such a size as to handle a half carload of eggs it becomes a real business proposition. Handle Eggs for Few Producers. The circles In Oregon were organized in the leading sections and each operated independently of the others for a while, selling their eggs to Portland produce dealers or to private customers, such as hotels and restaurants. They found however, that they were still helpless and had very little control over their products. Some eight or ten circles near Salem through the Salem circle manager, but the business was so small it was not very encouraging. Things went from bad to worse, . and it wag decided to form an exchange with offices in Portland to which all ..the circles could consign their eggs. This move was ridiculed by produce dealers, for. they knew the farmers were not under contract with the circles or the exchange; the dealers, therefore, would be able to obtan their of eggs by offering higher supply prices at the country buying' points than the exchange could realize on the poultry-producin- market.

At last youll have an opportunity to learn read. able, 1 1 e sea- son some of the firms paid more in the country, and. as they predicted, the exchange practically failed, and it appeared for a time that in the poultry business was at .an end in Oregon. A study was made of the Poultry Producers association of central California. which was more successful, and as a result after a years effort, the Oregon producers launched forth again to do their own business on a new i basis. ' A member- state-wid- e ship campaign was undertaken, and the producers were asked to join the conassociation and sign a three-yea- r tract, or marketing agreement, whereby their whole production was to be delivered to the association to lie marketed. These contracts and the storage of surplus production, during the storage season placed the association la position to be an important factor in the Portland market. Modern methods of grading, packing and standardization were adopted, and all eggs are now candled and graded into three classes. Those which are of the finest quality are put under the Diamond brand, while No. 28, which contain off colors, undersized and eggs, are graded out; No. 8s are sold- to the bakery trade. The business during the year was expected to reach a volume of approximately 2,000.000 dozen. During the present season the association has shipped several cars each week to eastern markets, thus keeping the Portland market clear of surplus and In a stable condition. The success of the association has been so great and the increase in business so rapid that as recently as February no new members were being admltied, although applications at the rate of 30 a day were received.' The reason for closing the membership lempornrlly was that they were storing eggs and the finances of the association did not permit handling additional supplies from new members. - Organized on Basis. The association is organized on a basis, with both common and preferred stock. Each member is obliged to purchase a $10 share of common slock for each 100 hens or fraction thereof. The preferred stock carries no vote and Is limited to an 8 per cent cumulative dividend. Some $40,000 preferred stock has been sold and is being retired by a levy of cent on each dozen eggs... .The operating expenses of the association one-ha- lf irer boa - Clear Babys Skin With Cuticura Soap and Talcum Instead of The Real Question.

The best seed of beans and peas Is to be obtained by marking a few of the finest plants with a bit of cloth at the beginning of the harvesting season amS) allowing the crop of these plants to ripen completely, say experts of the United States Department of Agriculture.

As Mr. Bowser stooped over to pick it up, he might have murmured : Now I lay me down to sleep, but, at any rate, he got the box and appeared carrying it with the greatest ciire. He crossed over to Mr. Jones and received the praise he deserved. Both of them took a long smell of the box.

The box was being held at arms length, when they entered the station and walked up to the sergeants desk. Mr. Bowser was, of course, spokesman.

The sergeant looked up In a careless way and pointed to the captains room. Mr. Bowser and Mr. Jones entered and told their story. The captain hadnt any questions to ask.'
