If Stork Bros, ship a hundred car­loads of eggs a year and each of those cars holds four hundred cases, and each case holds thirty dozen eggs, how many eggs—but ask us something easier, we aren't the rapid calculator of Evans Greater Shows.

But when you stop to consider that these eggs are only one of the several lines of produce handled by the steadily expanding firm of wholesale producers it is small wonder that they should need the spur track that they are having constructed by the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway to give them better facilities for handling this, immense amount of produce. , This improvement, consisting of oyer a^lock of track ex­tending to the north side of the ware­house, is being constructed by the M. & St. L. Company at the expense of the local firm and will cost about five hundred dollars when completed, aside from the expense of the right of way.

solidifies with out danger to the snell. The produce business, as explained

by the genial manager, Albrecht Stork, is considerably like a darky's hair. It doesn't look so very deep but there are a lot of kinks to it. Weather conditions play an important part in the business. In the extremely cold weather of the winter months care must be exercised to avoid loss by freezing. Very hot weather means a rapid deterioration in the product. A cold, wet spring and summer like the present presages a light yield of poultry because of the difficulty of caring for the young chickens. This is especially true in regard to young turkeys which are extremely susceptible to cold and wet. The handling of poultry' is about as important as the handling of eggs at the local plant From September to January are the months of heaviest shipment and a large squad of skilled "pickers" are employed at that time.

New Ulm is fortunate in having one of the most modern produce houses in the country .located here. The cold storage plant is a marvel of up-to-date methods in handling perishable produce that under ordinary conditions must reach the consumer in poor condition if it can be marketed at all. In the cold storage rooms of the Stork Bros, plant eggs may be kept for several months and then reach the consumer in better condition than the average so-called "fresh eggs" that the careful but misinformed city housewife insists upon buying at a considerably higher price.

The eggs, which are received from all parts of the surrounding country, come in in large quantities each day. April and May are the months of heaviest shipment and twenty carloads are • not at all unusual for these two periods. After their arrival, they are taken to the testing room where they are carefully "candled" by experts. This consists of placing the egg to the opening of an electric lighted metal tube. Any evidences of a misspent youth or riotous old age are promptly discovered and as promptly'acted upon by the tester. Any eggs which are in the least doubtful are treated as "bad eggs" must be expected to fare at the Last Judgment and are dropped thru" a chute to the lower regions. Those which are able to pass the searching test are then classified as to quality and pass on to the cooling rooms. Eggs which have been cracked in transit but which are otherwise good are "canned". That is, they are broken into pails and placed in rooms where they are frozen in a solid mass. In this condition they will keep indefinitely and will ultimately find their way into cakes where they will serve the same purpose as their more fortunate and more expensive compeers. The selected eggs are now placed in the big cooling rooms where the temperature is gradually lowered to 29 degrees at which temperature the egg will keep as Jong as need be. The purpose of the gradual freezing is to avoid breaking the shell when the egg expands after reaching the freezing point. When the eggs stand, there is a slight shrinkage due to evaporation. As this shrinkage takes place the egg is gradually cooled till i t [

The cold storage egg is not the dis­reputable creature it is charged with being, declares Mr. Stork. It does not deserve the burden of reproach it is forced to carry. Before the cold storage industry had reached its present status, a little probation might well have been exacted of the cold storage article, but at the present time when cold storage has been made an exact science, the properly kept cold storage egg is really fresher than the so-called "strictly fresh" product. The reason is obvious. During the winter months, when the cold storage egg is competing with the expensive "fresh" product, the hen is more or less disgusted with things and takes her own sweet time about laying. The result is that a flock of seventy five chickens will not be producing more than a dpzen eggs or such a matter each day. The farmer does not market his eggs each day but waits till he has filled the case. Getting a dozen eggs a day, it would take just a month to fill the case. The result is that the house-wife who gets eggs from the top of that case is getting strictly fresh eggs, to be sure, but the less fortunate purchaser of the bottom layer of eggs h getting as fresh eggs an article of as uncertain age as the average spinster aunt. Certainly, such eggs have nothing on a well kept cold storage product.

HERMAN GLUM M&Mt$&^&$&-Herman Glum died at his home on

^irst North St. early last Friday morn­ing after a long illness. He had been ailing for almost two years and for the last four months has been failing rapidly. Death was due to asthma complicated at the last with tuberculosis. .

Mr. Glum was born at St. Louis, August 18th, 1850, and came to New Ulm at the age of four when he was adopted into the home of Mrs. Friton of this city. He made New Ulm his home till the fall of 1873 when he married Miss Amalia Dietzmann of Redwood Falls and look up his residence there. The family made their home at Redwood Falls until four years ago when they returned to New Ulm.

Mr. Glum was the father of eight children, five of whom are still living. They are: Edward, now living at Tyner, Canada; Herman, Jr., of Burleigh, N. D.; John of Hazelton, N. D. and Lena and Bertha living at home.

The body was taken to Redwood Falls for burial and the funeral services were held in that city Tuesday.

LOUIS SPOERHASE Word was received here Tuesday that

Louis Spoerhase of Puposki had passed away at a Bemidji Hospital that morn­ing. He suffered a stroke between nil e and ten weeks ago and was taken to the hospital where he hovered between life and death until he died.

The deceased was born in Chicago, 111. June 16, 1863 and was consequently only 52 years old when he passed away. His parents who had been in New Ulm during the Indian Massacre, returned here in the year 1862. He spent his childhood days here and grew to man­hood here. November 16, 1894 he was united in marriage to Mary Siebert who preceded him in death April ISth of this year.

Shortly after their marriage they re­moved • to Puposki where they took a claim and commenced farming. The first few years were hard ones indeed, but conditions were getting quite bright when Mr. Spoerhase was stricken and taken to a Bemidji hospital. Loss than a week later his wife was taken to the same hospital where she died the follow­ing day.

At the time of his death he was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. The deceased is survived by one daughter, Elsie, 9 years old. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Pauline Spoerhase and the following brothers and sisters: Fred of Winthrop and Henry of Canon City, Col.; Mrs. Chae. Stengel and Mrs. Emma Loheyde of Minneapolis; Mrs., James Sapey of Mankato and Mrs. Pauline Fritsche of New Ulm. The remains will be brought to New Ulm for burial and the funeral will be held from the home of Mrs. Pauline Spoerhase on South German Street either Friday or Saturday.

MICHAEL LEARY

The community was shocked last Sunday to hear of the sudden death of New Ulm's old and honored citizen, Michael Leary, age 69, at the Loretto Hospital after an illness of only three days. The cause of death was a severe attack of pleurisy complicated by pneu­monia contracted by being caught in a

severe rainstorm while visiting his farm, one day last week.

Mr. Leary has lived at New Ulm and vicinity for ahnoRt fifty years and has played an important part in the growth and development of this section thru his activities in construction work for various branche* of the Northwestern that have entered this part of the state since he came. He has the splendid reeord of forty-three years as foreman of bridge construction for the North­western road, retiring from the postition in 1913. The city mourns with the relatives in the passing of an esteemed citizen.

Mr. Leary was born at Brasher Falls, N. Y., in 1847 and was educated in the local schools. He left home at the early age of thirteen to the broader education of the grim school of life and at once learned the carpenter trade. Later he struck the trail of the Northwestern as it was entering this country and helped in building depots along the line. He helped cut the ties for the North­western when the road had only reached the Red Stone bridge in 1870. He helped in the construction of the bridge over the Minnesota and was soon after appointed as foreman of bridge con­struction holding the position for forty-three years when he was retired on a peasion at his own request. t -

He was married in 1874 to Mary Kinnear who survives him with the following children: Geo. . W. Leary, Raymond Leary and Dafford Leary of New Ulm. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. P. J. Connors of Winona and one brother, D. A. Leary of Lanesboro, Minn. •

The funeral will be held this (Wednes­day) morning at 9 o'clock from the Holy Trinity Catholic Church. The follow­ing people from out of town .are here to attend the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. P.. J. Connors, Winona; D. P. Connors, Proctor; Henry Connors, Red Wing; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weigal, Winona; Henry Leary, Omaha and Bert Leary, Omaha. *

Mr. and Mrs. N. Henningsen made the trip to Brownton by auto last Thursday to visit relatives.

In spite of the unfavorable weather conditions, the Springfield University Week was a big success and closed with a small surplus of twenty dollars which will be used to help the Orpheus Concert band. One of the most enjoyable num­bers of the week was the presentation by the "Masquers" of James Barrie's play, "The Professor's Love Story."

Springfield is to make a big change in its electric lighting system in the near future which will give the people the advantage of a twenty-four hour system.* The cost of the proposed change's will aggregate about $7,500. They are also contemplating a central heating plant, on a limited scale to furnish heat for the business houses within two blocks of the power house.

FARMER'S ELEVATOR CO. ELECTS

The Farmer's Cooperative Elevator Go-, met test Saturday m this city and elected its board of directors for the fchsuing year. Later the twelve new directors met and chose their officers. The most important change announced by the management is that from riow <6n no grain is to be received for storage.

The annual report of the organization was reviewed at the meeting and ac­cepted. The business statements of the report showed that there was a decline in the receipts of small grain for the year. This was due, no doubt, to the rather light CTop of wheat last year. The biggest gain shown was in the amount of coal handled which showed

:a big gain over, previous years. * Grain for storage tffil no longer be

received because di 'the expense in­volved, for which Sio return has ever been realized. $k> 'charge has been made in the past -for storing grain while the cost of rent <awd insurance has had to be met^by'theWmpany. I t was deemed advisable, therefore, to avoid the e*»

Directors 'for the coming year were

elet'tcd as follows: John Huelskamp, Hehjfy Simmet, Joseph Spef 1, .John Rein-hai-tj Henry Miller* Ntek Reinhart, MatheW Walser> Lout* Rieke, Herman Pfaehdtef. William Gluth, Henry Mander-feldvH-. A. Hatesheim.

After thte regular meeting the directors got together and elected the following officer*:: Pres., Joseph Sperl; Vice Pres., Matthew Walser; Sec., Herman Pfaender; Tfeas., Henry Simmet.

DELIGHTFUL DANCING PARTY.

In order to preserve grates and fire-irons, etc., from rust or harm in a closed house, make a strong paste of fresh lime and water, and with a fine brush smfar it as thickly as possible over all the ploished surfaces.

Instead of using additional ice after ice cream is frozen and ready to pack, tear old newspapers into, medium size pieces and stuff them firmly into the freezer. The papers should be wedged firmly together to exclude every bit of air.. If this is done the cream will be found hard and firm when unpacked. Qreanx packed in. this manner has stood for eleven hours with success..: <J&,f «A „ _

Jupiter Pluvius found himself check­mated the evening of the 17th when his most persistent efforts failed to dampen the ardor of the house party given by Miss Henrietta Hauenstein to a number of her Northwestern College girl friends. A picnic supper and. boat ride had been planned for the occasion but owing to the peevishness of the weather man it was found necessary to forego the jaunt. Instead, an informal dancing party Was extemporized and the young people enjoyed the evening tripping the light fantastic with a victrola to furnish the m u « c - , . ••;,, '1 ^ • . - . - . • . , * >-A " -.'-

The out of town Northwestern girls present at the house party were Miss Luia Cropper of Munsey, lnd.; Miss Florence Mohlenbrock of Owatonna, Minn;; Miss Gertrude Nerbbvig of Mankato Minn, and Mfes Jessie Fendley of Galveston, Texas.

After enjoying the hospitality of Miss Hauenstein, the entire party left Friday on tjbe S^jNorthwesterafor MapV^tp where they will visit with Miss Nerbovig.

When making sandwiches, melt the-butter and add it to the prepared fitting jitet before spreading the sandwiched in­stead of spreading the butter on the bread. It not only saves much t ime and prevents the thinly cut slices from crumbling,, but .saves much butter, as two tabiespooniuls of butter melted and added to the filling are sufficient for spreading four loaves of bread. . .

When buying window shades it i s an excellent ide> to get ao extra set of catches for each window, particuaiiy for those In the bedrooms.
