An egg shortage has struck this Sec
ton of the country. Wausau dealers
are at present retailing them at around
SOC per doz. Ia Milwaukee the price
has gone up to 45c. Many local dealers
are entirely out of eggs and II is hard
to get even the cold storage fruit. Hens
have been acting queer all fall They
did not get over the moulting period
until very late. Those having large
broods don't get enough eggs at pres
ent for their own use.
The water in the guard lock was shut
off Saturday night, to allow the contrac-
tors to remove the Golfer dam above
the new flume of the Wausau Street
Railroad Co s power house. All day
Sunday the crew was engaged at this
work. The power during the day was
generated by the company's steam en-
CINE, and was hardly sufficient for the
needs. Street car traffic was interfered
with and the city was in darkness Sun
day night for time. The company
will soon have several times the power
needed at present.
Remember that you will pay just
twice as much next spring as now in
purchasing wall paper. Better buy
now even if you don't wish to repaper
your rooms at present and save so per
ent.-O. c. Callies.
