PUBLIC SHOULD DEMAND PAS
SAGE OF AUTOMOBILE oRDi-
NANCE.

Pnblic discussion of the fatal auto
mobile accident on Huntington ave-
nue. Tuesday night should result In an
imperative demand that the city
council Immediately enact an ordl-
nance regulating the operation Oh
mower vehicles on the streets. NO
doubt the most stringent regulations
would not have prevented the tragedy
that is now occupying the attention
Of the public, but the accident has
made the people realize the stern
necessity of minimizing the possibility
Of such things and has brought about
a strong feeling against the speeding
of automobiles in the streets and the
operation of machines by inexperienc-
ed drivers.
Heretofore many people have re-
parded it as more or less OF joke
when they have seen an automobile
dash up the streets at the rate OF thirty
miles an hour or more. Such things
will not be regarded as jokes In the
future. According TO the only witness
during the coroner's inquest yester-
day. the machine which killed little
Herbert Softer was going at a slow
rate OF speed. This naturally makes
one wonder why the drivers who so
recklessly and fast through the
streets--and there are some who DO
have not killed somebody before this
The council has had before it for
long tine an ordinance prescribing a
speed limit and general regulations

N. D. Fresh eggs
ARE SHIPPED West
ALL BUT THE STORAGE VARIETY
OF HEN FRUIT Is SHIPPED TO
WESTERN CITIES WHERE PRI-
cEs ARE HIGHER AND THE
PROFIT GREATER THAN HERE.

All the fresh eggs in this part of
the country are being sent west while
Fargo has to take the storage kind.
That is the statement made by a local
merchant on the egg situation in Fargo
existing at the present time.
mo the price of eggs in Fargo will
not go much higher. People generally
over the city will not pay more than
33 cents per dozen for the commodity
at any time of the year." said the
merchant in question. 1--WE cannot get
fresh eggs now and have to put up
with the storage kind.
This fall made contract with q
man to go over. the country and buy up
strictly fresh eggs for me, specifying
that a certain number of cases should
be supplied every week, For some time
got the amount required but that is
impossible now. The man with whom
1 made the contract says that the farm
ers will not sell their eggs to him al
though they have them. They ship
them to western cities where the prices
are higher-people there not thinking
anything of paying so cents dozen
for them. So fresh-that is absolutely
fresh eggs are almost impossible to
get. This fall the egg crop is large
too, on account of the fine weather"
