J5ut as a matter of fact there is a lot n( difference' in the size of cfjtfs, and therefore eggs should he sold hy weight in order to he fair. 1 (,'. J). Huffman has a strain of '"White .Minorca hens which iroiluce exceptional eggs. We saw six eggs ll'rom these hens recently that placed end' to end measure dearly seventeen inches, the largest ( the eggs measured six and one-fourth inches in circumference, and ihe six weigh ed one and a quarter pounds. Compare these with the ordinary egg offered in the market and you will at once note a vast dilTercnde1. As matters now stand there is no compensation for the hen that will produce a large egg, and except for home consumption the producer had as well have a hen laying a small sized; Mgg as one that produces the large, meaty egg such as the Huffman hens produce. To break a custom oil' selling and buying eggs by the dozen would be like Irving to revise the (foldeu Utile or1 attempting to amend -the Ten Commandments, but the fact remains that the large eggs are more for the money than the small'i r eggs, and it does not take, a college grad uato to see this, either.

That there has been great need of such "recMing up" generally Is shown by accumulating evidence. It Is also gratifying lo observe that tho process has iilready started,--aiid has gone far In some i-Hins. o Needs Revising The Portland Orcgonian in an editorial on the present political battle royal has the following to say of the direct primary as it, works in Oregon: "What the people of Oregon see now is that candi dates are not being selected for office by thlciii, but by themselves; that, the primary 1s the refuge and opportunity- of the chean skate; that it is extrcniMlrr dil-i'icult to get the best men to run for important office; that gov eminent is not more efficient, but less efficient, as mcas it red in its cost; that taxes have doubled, trebled, quad rupled, quintupled: tha'tj individual or m'oup control is the rule; that the minority prevails; that the majority party js an undisciplined iiiass, t he minority party a shabby remnant; 1 hat. election costs are enormous; that tlie stand ards of political morality have not Keen elevated; that the quality and strength of party leadership, have been weak ened, and that courage, independence, vision in public life are' becoming rarer. . . , Why not face present-day facts, and act on tlii-un1 i (i SERVICE WITHOUT NOISE. Down in Portland Mrs. 1'Y Swanlon, head of the Oregon Humane society, is rendering service without noise, and it is quite refreshing to witness a person so hon orably engaged. ; Mrs". Swaiitun loves every living Creature and she will respond as quickly to a call front a dog with a broken leg as a policeman Would to a hurry-up call. Her work is state work but most of her efforts are centered in Port -land where she liaiidles'niany cases. People might think of a Humane society as an organization dealing with ani mals alone . True, it. does look after abused animals, but .Mrs. Swanton also looks after children and old people who need her care, hVeently there have been several blood curdling cruellies drought to public at lent ion in Portland. One was a girl tied to a bed and another was a boy whose .father, who is both a fii. nd and a brute, had burned the little chap's fingers in order to torture him. .Moth -of these cases were brought lo light l v Mrs. Swanton mid hl.-r aide assistant, Moss Churchill, who also loves this work and spends both days and nights in the cause, of hiimanitv and fair treatment. The public hears little of Mrs. Swanton and Mr. Churchill but they arc on the job all of the time and their work is so needful. Portland people will learn one of these days of these i wo good chanx-tiers who think not of self but prqkriiur rendering that silent service which is most admirable. THE OFFICE CAT 1VMIV Spill HPS BEAM HI OVER oo es I MS All the recent to-do lit New York about the, merits or demerits of the Htatue representing "Civic Virtue" serve us a reminder of the great vice of present-day art. Our pre- teiitUius art, especially our sculp ture, is made to "symbolize" some thing or oilier, and gets so clutter ed up in tho process that no nor mal liunrui being- knows what to make of it. That is why people nowadays euro little for sculptute. Whenever an architect or an art commission determines upon sculp tured figures or grouls for a oun. huiiHu, city hall, library or oiler public building and that is nea-ly always j- somebody Immedlu-'-'v starts to work out some abstract idea lu marble. The sculpture must represent tho Triumph of Justice, tlie I'rogress of Sclclice, Kducatloti Kllllglltiln'Mg tho World, the Mil; lit of Transportation, or some other conception so vague or general or coiupli-x that it is almost Impossible to york It out in a way that Is at onco artistic and self-explanatory As one of the foremosi itrt critics iiU America says, "Art that needs to ba oxpliiincd isn't art." Art tipeaks direct to tho soul, and doesn't tleniaml education or liralns, becuuse overyljody has n soul. Hut the language of the soul Is simple.

Surely tlie face and form of man or woman can tell all that It is necessnry for sculptor or painter to tell, if the work Is well done. And all "grout mil is simple.
