Jli-s. Iliilstein also denied that her linshand was a spy. '.My father has heen a resident of this country lor twenty-five years, and took out his eiti.enship papers three days after I was born," said yonni? llolslcin. "In the San Kriin eiseo earthquake his paers were burned up. I'll admit that for some lime after the present Kuropeim war broke out father was radically in fa vor of (icrniany, but he Inter turned strongly against Germany's cause for some reason. There were sixteen children in our family, and one of lay brothers mid my brother-in-law are 1'ie.htinir in the (lennan army. "I can see that some of the ac tions of my father while ho was in Mcdford may have looked suspicious to some people, but without just cause. For instance, bis niovini: of our family into the house in the rear of the Ciitlibert building shortly af ter C'ouipany I moved into that bitilil ini;. We moved because it was bet ter quarters than the rooms we had been living in. "Several weeks ni,ro father and my little brother, Frank, who became Company 7's mascot, reached Mcd ford from the Mexican border bv working their way from town to town by Frank's nivinj; musical exhi bitions. "My mother and I were at Frisco, where 1 was workiii',', anil we decid ed to join them here, liesides, I wanted to get work in a mine here. We reached Mcdford last week, and J'ni Ruinir to try and (tot a job here. I would enlist in the ariuv at once, only I am now the support of my mother. That's the kinc of good American I ant. "You see, when the New York Symphony orchestra was here last Tuesday, brother Frank played the violin and cornet before Ziuihulist, the famous violinist, and others. They were so pleased that they told Frank and father if Frank would come to New York they would L'ive him free music lessons and instruc tion and promised that at the end of six mouths they would net him a job in the orchestra at $45 a month. "So yesterday father and Frank started to work their way from town to town by fiivinir conceits until they reach New York. That's why they only houiilit tickets to (limits Pass."

The present crisis is causing inanv patriotic young men to investigate the different avenues in which thev may protect the freedom which they enjoy, and those undecided as to whether they wou'd "do their lot" as n soldier or n sailor are enlisting hi the marine coips as a "soldier and sailor, too.''

FOR BREAKFAST. EVERYBODY WHO WANTS THE BEST IN CORN FLAKES EATS POST TOASTIES fcs ( 1 -1 s- SHORTAGE OF EGGS KEEPS PRICES UP The high price of eggs in Mcdford for this time of year is mainly due to shortage of production, it is said, caused by the high prices of grain. Many persons have killed off some of their hens rather than support them with the high-priced grain. Then, too, moSt of the eggs coming in arc purchased for packing, nnd to supply the Paget Sound nnd Aluskn trade. There is big demand for eggs from these sections. In the past five weeks it is estimated that at lenst two carloads of eggs have been ship ped out from Mcdford. Kggs nro now' selling nt retail for 80 cents a dozen, or two dozen for 53 cents. The prices paid by Xfeil- ford grocers and other buyers to pro ducers varies, but averages about 30 cents n dozen in trade to or 27 cents n dozen cash payment. The X.'nion Meat company, which went into the egg business for the first time this year, nnd which is seeking to stimulate the egg produc tion nnd quality in the Rogue River valley, sent out the following circular thirty days ngo, which Manager K. J. Nedd says is already producing good results : 'Thousands of dollars nre lost an nually to the Oregon egg industry bv indifferent and careless methods. If vou want the top price for your eggs follow the directions given below and watch your egg profits grow: "1. Don't wash the dirty eggs or wipe them off with damp cloth. If vou must sell dirty eggs, sell them as thev come from the nest. "2. Use the dirty and small eggs at home. "II. Gather the eggs nt lenst twice daily. '4. Hold the eggs in a cool place, but not in a dump or musty cave or cellar, and keep them dry. '."). Market your eggs ns frequent ly ns jxissible. 'ti.
