Appropriation May Lapse.

The $4,000 appropriated by the late

State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings Is not going TO make any

there will be nothing 20 prevent the

Heretofore 1t has been the custom
for the adherents OF Grand Island to
urge that It was provided in the deed
that the home should not be removed
from the Hall county town. Inasmuch
as the orders of the board have been
disobeyed at Grand Island and the

managing the home. there is a dis
position on the part Of the individual
members to assist in any movement
tending TO move the home to Milford.

Law Reaehes Earmers ROO.

A citizen Of Bralnard complains
that he bought two dozen eggs from
n farmer for which he paid the high.
est market price for fresh eggs and
that out of the two dozen only seven
we're fit for use. The theory ad
vanced rs that the farmers pack theil
eggs earlier in the season, holding
them for the higher price, and then
market them at the highest price
without reference TO their condition.
When evidence can be obtained by
the food commissioner that is definite
and certain as to this bad egg cheat
prosecution will be instituted against
farmers as well as grocerymen and
others who sell bad eggs. The com
missioner holds that the farmers who
persistently sell bad eggs, bad cream
and low grade milk TO the townspeo-
pie are deserving the penalties pro.
vided in the pure food law and there
will be no leniency shown to the sci.
