EGGS REMAIN QUITE PLENTIFUL
Despite the Cold Weather Americus
Has Plenty.

Fear was expressed recently that the
blizzard from which we have just
emerged might cut off the egg supply,
but such, happily,ls not the case. Eggs
are plentiful here, although an addi-
tional nickel per dozen is charged by
some dealers. AS everyone knows, the
coy and reluctant hen grows more re-
Iuctant in severe cold weather and this
sentiment on her part is always respon-
sible for raise in the price of the COM
modify which she alone can give to the
world. This jump is expected to be
only temporary, as it is known that
there are a great many eggs in the
country which will be hurried on the
market as soon as the present cold
weather moderates,
