EGG BEARS LOVE ROMANCE.
Carries Woman's Name on Shell Ten
Years; Then Man Finds 1t.

Joplin, Moan interstate romance,
Matched of an egg shipped from Joplin
to Winsted, Conn, is disclosed in .
dispatch announcing that Emil Laurit-
ION of Winsted had observed the adj.
dress of Miss Louise Adcock of Jop-
lin on an egg from a case he was I'M
packing; that through this incident a
correspondence had begun, and later
had terminated in marriage engage
ment and preparations for trip to
Joplin.
There are no Adcocks living in Jop-
lin. No one named Louise Adcock
has been employed in Joplin commits
sion houses, and the only tangible
clew that might throw light on the
Connecticut egg story comes through
the police department. Capt. Tom
Lawson recalls that woman named
Louise Adcock ran huckster wagon
in the region round about Joplin about
ten years ago.
The presumption here is that Louise
Adcock wrote her name and address
on dominicker egg which was des-
tined for cold storage, and that the
ancient egg has just reached Winsted
after ten years.

Reputation Worth Acquiring.

Townspeople owe it to themselves
to build up reputation for hospital
ity. They should ever welcome the
residents Of the surrounding country
to their town. But hospitality alone
will not win. People have their eyes
on the mighty dollar, and IL in addi-
ton to hospitality the town secure a
wide reputation as good market
place. where eggs and butter bring a
few cents a pound more than in some
other town. it will work wonders in
