Where People Save Most
FERTiLE EGG LOSS
ABOUT $1,080,000
DAMAGE BEGINS IN JUNE
CONTINUES THROUGH
SUMMER.
SELL, UNSEX OR PEN ROOSTERS
Infertile Eggs Bring Premium of
From Five to Ten Cents a
Dozen—Gather Eggs
Daily.
Oklahoma farmers lose something
ike $1,000,U00 annually through fail-
ure to corral the roosters during hot
summer months.
By lar tne uiggest element of egg
io.- jts is the fertile egg. Hurry Em-
bleton, poultry specialist for the ex-
tension division of Oklahoma A. & M.
College, has made a careful study of
lifcuies compiled at produce houses
over the state and finds that even as
early as June there is a loss of some-
thing like 30 per cent from fertile
ciggs. During August the losses on
some markets run as high as 60 per
cent While, theoretically, the pro-
luce merchant stands a large part of
the loss, it is probably true that every
basket of eggs marketed in Oklahoma
during the summer months suffers a
severe penalty because of carelessness
of the great body of egg producers.
According to Mr. Embleton, a fertile
egg begins to incubate in a tempera-
ture of 70 degrees. When these eggs
are put under the candler they show
blood rings, blood clots and even more
idvanced stages of incubation.
Even if the egg passes the candler it
may not hold up under the long jour-
uey to the consumer's table. Almost
any housewife in the cities can testify
to finding from four to seven bad eggs
out of tha dozen "fresh eggB" that she
bought from the grocery. Consider the
chagrin of the restaurant diner who
opens a soft boiled egg to find that na-
ure has about run her gamut with that
particular egg. Is it any wonder that
thousands oP persons cease eating
eggs from June to September? Eggs,
doubtless, would be a popular summer
food if the ultimate consumer could
only feel sure as to their ancestry.
Infertile eggB regularly bring a pre-
mium of from 5 to 10 cents a dozen
over eggs that have known the
rooster.
When the hatching season is over,
;he rooster's duty has been fulfllled.Ha
ihould be fattened and sold, caponized
or penned up. The capon industry I*
making greit headway In Oklahoma,
and there seems no prospect that it
Kill be overdone. Meat from capons
continues to draw a handsome pre-
mium, and the operation adds three
pounds or more to the natural weight
of the male bird, even on the same
teed If it is desired that the rooster
be retained for another breeding sea-
son, he can be penned up and not per-
mitted access to the hens.
Another element of egg losses
iomes from weak-shelled eggs. These
shells give way while the eggs are
oeing handled, and a few broken eggs
can smear up an entire case. Feeding
the hens oyster shell will help remedy
this difficulty.
Here are some hot weather rules
recommended by Mr. Embleton:
First—Produce infertile eggs by
either selling off the male birds after
hatching season, or, if the male is es-
pecially good, pen him up by himself.
Second — Keep nests filled with
clean straw and have straw in the
poultry house so that in muddy
weather the chickens will have a
chance to walk through the straw be-
fore going to the nests. This will do
awaywith dirty eggs. Dirty eggs are
ilways reckoned as seconds on the
market, irrespective of the Interior
quality, and are paid for as such
Third—Gather eggs twice a day, es-
pecially during hot weather.
Fourth—Keep the eggs in a cool
place, suoh as a storm cellar. Do not
keep them in a hot kitchen or pantry.
Fifth—Market the eggs at least
twice a week. Old eggs can be de-
tected by the buyer through candling.
Sixth—Protect the eggs from the di-
rect rays of the sun while taking them
to town.
Seventh—Keep all small eggs at
lome. They are Just as good for home
use, but do not bring as much when
lold.

IiOAXS AND SAVINGS
When the history of the American
war loan is finally w.ritten, Into it
will be written the account of a peo-
ple converted from extravagance to
frugality, from reckless spending to
prudent saving It will contain the
account of a nation that while giving
freely of its wealth, yet in the very
act of giving, received more than it
gave-
Yes, great as will be the money
outlay necessary fo,r the successful
prosecution of this war, the solid, en-
during benefit to the people of this
country will be infinitely greater.
In the first place, it has caused
us to take stock of our resources.
A prodigious demand has caused us
to reach out for an equally huge
supply. But unlike the flush periods
of former years, when the added re-
sources have been produced, ..they
have not been wasted in needless
extravagance. .
All over this broad land, from
ocean to ocean and from lakes to
gulf thousands upon thousands of
men, women and children Wave en-
tered upon a life of frugality that
has for its object the accumulation
of one or more Liberty bonds. Mil-
lions of dollars of these bonds are
being paid for in monthly install-
ments the terms of which will run
for many months to come.
It is all but impossible to esti-
mate what this self-enforced econ-
omy will do for our people. Viewed
merely in the light of the financial
benefit to the different individuals,
the results must necessarily be stu-
pendous But going further and con-
sidering the stabilizing effect upon
the nation as a whole, the result as-
sumes the proportions of an econom-
ical revolution
No nation of people ever yet suc-
ceeded in building a stable national
What We Have To Be
Thankful For
We are thankful to our customers to
such an extent that is unexpressable for
the business they have accorded us in the
past and ask you to continue in the same
old manner.
We think the people of Lexington and
community are undoubtedly the best peo-
ple to pay their bills of any people on
earth. They believe in reciprocation, we
did all in our power to help them and in
return they are doing- theirs.
We cannot say for sure but believe we
will be able to extend credit next year as
we have this. If you are not a customer
of this institution it will pay you to inves-
tigate.

edifice upon extravagance. It mat-
ters not how vast the resources, they
must in time succumb to the lavish
hand. Only prudence and frugality
can lay a substantial foundation for
the national life.
We are aware that the life of our
people has heretofore been tending
toward prodigality, and that this phe-
nomenal success would tend to dis-
prove the foregoing assertion. But
there is a reason, and it is found in
the comparative newness of the coun-
try. Heretofore it has been easier
to reach out after untouched re-
sources than to conserve those al-
ready in hand. But that day is past.
We are face to face with a demand
for all and more than is available,
and the smallest traction of waste
will tell in the net result.
A knowledge of this fact is the
great legacy that will be left to the
American people when the war shall
have been fought to a successful end
And that knowledge, with the habit
of thrift now being enforced, will
have effectually changed the Ameri-
| can character from a spending to
a saving people.
