Will Be Held at Court House at 10 A-: M. on July 31. The extension division of the Kansas State Agricultural college and the United States department of agriculture will conduct egg candling schools in Kansas during July and August to improve the quality and decrease the losses of Kansas eggs. The country needs the extra food to help win the war. The demonstrations will be for the particular benefit of farmers and buyers of eggs.

It will be an opportunity to learn how to detect bad eggs by candling and how eggs are graded for market. The instructions will help producers and dealers to comply with the state and federal laws affecting the sale of eggs. Five million dollars worth of eggs are spoiled in Kansas each year through bad handling. Tijis waste must stop. In these war times it is unpatriotic to allow food to spoil.

MAKE ANOTHER EFFORT NOW. Federal Judge Booth Ruled Saturday That Increase Can't Be Made Without Court Authority.

Judge Booth ruled Saturday that the companies have no right to advance the rates without the court's permission That decision for the time being sets aside the action of companies who attempted to establish 80-cent gas.

All of the distributing companies, through J. W. Dean, their attorney, announced two Weeks ago an arbitrary increase from 60 Cents a thousand, with an added meter charge of 50 cents. In his decision Judge Booth denied permission, declared an application first must be made to the federal court and reserved the right to reject such application if he saw fit. The distributing companies were given ten days to file formal application or iri-creased rates.

Representatives of the Missouri Public Utilities Commission and of cities receiving natui'al gas appeared before Judge Booth merely "asking for relief." That plan was agreed upon at a meeting' of representatives from the two states in Kansas City more than a week ago. A part of the plan was to file application for a temporary injunction against the distributing companies, but Judge Booth held hat was unnecessary; that the gas companies had acted arbitrarily and without authority. Judge Booth fixed the old rate of 60 cents and he held Saturday the order by him fixing that rate restrained the companies from making any increase.
