There is a sort of egg famine con-
fronting US. During the recent ex-
tremely cold snap the dutiful hen gave
up her job, with the result that her
product is a rather scarce article just
now. The market price of eggs
ranges from 25 to 50 cents per dozen,
which of course makes a pretty eX-
pensive luxury.
w. H. Jones, one of Hustisford's
prominent stock breeders, has sold
two heifer calves, one yearling heller
and one 5-year- old Of his celebrated
Holstein-Friesian stock to w. n. Nc
Geoch. the extensive farmer and dairy
man of Lake Mills. The cattle are
from the highly-bred duchess family
and brought the snug sum of 1925.

A large audience was entertained
by the Philopatrians at Corby hall,
| Sacred Heart college, on the evening
of Washington's birthday. W. Luby

on the day we celebrate. It was
plain yet very interesting sketch of
| the life of the great cOmmOner from
the commencement of his school-bOy
! days until his return to the peaceful
I
Vernon. Mr.. Luby showed much care
in the preparation of his subject, and
was very entertaining in its delivery.

itants of that neighbOrhOod A guam

fined 81 each. There are some Of the
goods yet to be found, but Chief

and will round them up when they
least expect it.
The very best minstrel company
that has been in Nashville, not only
this season, but in years, is the Justly
| famous Beach & Bowers minstrels,
which opened at the opera house last
night. 1t is the very best because it
is novel and striking in almost every
particular, and unlike any minstrel
show that has come this way. 1t is
way up and beyond such hackneyed
shows as the Wilson and the Thatcher's
and the unnumbered train of imitators
that annually troop and tramp this
way. The program presented last
night was full of brightness, freshness
and minstrel originality. -Nashville
Banner. At Concordia Opera house,
| March 3. Prices, 25, 35 and 80 cents.
Reserved seats at Gamm's drug store.
Our fellow-citizen. NJ F. Blumen-
field, retires today from the collector
| ship of the Second internal revenue
| district of Wisconsin, and is succeeded
by Editor j. q. Monahan, of Darling
| ton. Mr.. Blumenfeld has held the posi-
| ton for nearly six years, and it affords
us much pleasure to be able to hear
| testimony 10 the excellence of his ad-
ministration of its important and re-
sponsible duties. Mr. Blumenfeld en-
tered upon his duties with an entire
force of inexperienced men, but he
brushed away the old fogy system by
which the Office had been run by his
predecessors, simplifed the work, and
easily succeeded in giving the gov
eminent the most complete satisfac-
ton. He retires from the Office with
the proud consciousness of having
1 been a nainstakino and capable officer
