Not Eggs-actly, But They
Are Laying For High
CIR Wages.

Our mistress of the culinary
department 'phoned to PattilIo
q Gamble this week that she
wanted some nice, fresh eggs,
and back came the saucy voice
of the "hello boy" 1--WE doc 90
too-oo oUo." This would but re.
mind Us that eggs are soaring.
They are climbing in price in a
manner that is staggering
Three weeks ago cold storage
eggs were selling on the Ft.
Worth market for$5. 75per case,
Ten days ago they were quoted
at Sc per case. Yesterday the
cheapest quotation was $3.50
per case, quotes the i't. Worth
Record, and the end-of the
high prices, not the eggs, is not
yet in sight. There are thirty
dozen eggs in a case.
Mr., Gamble says says that To-
cal hens have gone on Il strike.
They have taken Il lay-olf in
their laying. They cackle but
they egg not. They cannot be
egged-on to lay eggs
When you buy the eggs by the
case you buy them, good, bad
and indifferent. Cold storage
eggs are mostly indifferent and
bad.
Unless the old hens in these
parts do something besides
cackle the chances are that
eggs, before Christmas. will be
as high as beef was when the
COW jumped over The moon and
as dear as "nigger head Matt
land coal after Il ten months
strike in the coal regions.
If anybody has any rooster
eggs they would conFera special
favor on Mr.. Gamble by bring
ing them to him TO meet the
Christmas demand, for he is
awfully Respondent over the
prospect of not being able to-
secure hens eggs.
