EGGS ARE VERY SCARCE.
Price Daily ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO the
Hen Avail Nothing.

The hen is receiving more attention
these davs than she has for many sea
sons. She is proud, and well she
may be, for her eggs are 10 cents
dozen, and hard TO get at that. We
are bordering on an egg famine. This
can only be prevented by the hens
working over time. but this they
steadfastly refuse to do, having in
formed committees from the hotels
and stores that have had consulta-
tions with them in their coops that
they are supporters of the S-hour law
and propose forming 4 union to up
hold to the letter its principles.
When eggs are cheap they are rare
" called for at the hotels. Now every
boarder wants four ut breakfast. The
result is that the supply is almost eX-
hausted.
