But that is only minor point in the adoption
of new national food by Uncle Sam. With
each year the production of the hens of the coun-
try is becoming smaller in proportion to the de-
mand for eggs. AS a consequence the experts
declare that each succeeding year will see the
price soar beyond expectations The last months
of winter and the first of early spring are the
hardest for the egg eaters for then the cost

those which appear often followers from the
year previous, but even those bring prices rang
ing from 80 to 40 cents dozen.
The time is remembered by many when the
best eggs brought IL cents dozen in retail
stores, and the wholesale price below that.
SO steep has the conventional cost become that
thousands of farmers yearly devoting their
land to the raising of fowls,
The industry has already become a mighty
factor in national life and within two decades If
the country continues to eat eggs at the present
rate Of increase, the business Of growing eggs
may outweigh that Of cattle and grain.
In the large cities, Chicago, for instance, the
high price Of meat compelled the poorer classes
to adopt the egg as a means of obtaining noursh-
ment. The increased demand of course boosted
the price, but still the middle and upper classes
cling to the fowl product, foul or fair.
In the great marts of trade the egg industry is
perhaps the most interesting of all One great
cold storage warehouse in Chicago during the
last egg famine, unloaded the market close
to 100000, and every one sold to the local
retail merchants. The eggs were said to have
been in cold storage for nine months, pending an

A FLOATING SALOON.

Muskogee, Okla, July 22.-Some-
where upon the turbid bosom of the
verdigris river there is floating sa-
loon, and the officers Of three coun.
ties have scouts out trying to find it.
The first that was heard of the floa-
ing saloon it was operating above Ca
toosca, The last time is was seen
was below Coweta, having passed
through Rogers and Wagner counties,
and seemed to be making its way on
down through Muskogee county to the
Arkansas, headed for Fort Smith.
The saloon is nothing more than a
household boat fully equipped with a
bar and stock of liquors and beer.
There are scores Of household boats
along the river and most Of them are
alike. This accounts for the difficult
ty in locating the one with the saloon
attachment. The boat sets up busi-
ness every time it touches port, and
its ports are just as likely to be a
corn field or potato field as a town.
