 Other great egg corners have been manipulated and the profits doubtless have been greater, but they seldom to the public because of the shekels which raked in from the enterprise. In the egg corner mentioned above, scores Of men worked day and night for two days getting the prod lct out of cold storage to place them the market while the price held up
 The workmen were where they could be called at once, and the minute the word the tele phone to get the crates out of the cold storage we rehouse, the toiers set to work. Two days later every egg had been sold the money collect ed and than half of them eaten by the con sumer
 It a great coup and only of the many Other enterprises of like nature where the pro- ceeds have ranged into large figures, have been told, but the details seldom became public prop erty. This by reason of the fact that the egg "corner' is today a rather undeveoped science
 But the monarchs of other branches of the pro- ducing world have come to look upon move ments of that sort of the money makers of the days to come.
 Early this month when eggs Ceases returned), bringing only 19 cents a dozen, wholesale, the lover of them felt fairly jubilant and barn yard prognosticators predict that this jubilant feeling shall prevail for the rest of the summer. Extra quality eggs then selling at 23 cents a dozen while ordinary "irsts' brought 19 cents and 'frsts' one cent more dozen prime frsts" selling at 21 cents.
 So with the sway of the strawberry the price of eggs dropped off, and before August it is said the cost may go lower.
 With the private producers who sell only linn ited quantities of eggs, 40 cents dozen is not unheard of figure for what known "eggs laid fresh today" Of course the right to that t tie must be undisputed, and often when eggs sold backed by a reputation for freshness, high CT prices paid for them by the epicures.
 However, frauds in eggs as frequent as swind1es in other industries, and fastidious per sons who hate cold storage eggs worse than they do paying fancy prices, are often taken in by the farmer" who rides into the city on the interurban, buys up large cargo of eggs in the open market, rents a wagon, the muddier the better, and pro- ceeds to distribute cold storage eggs for the prod uct he claims is laid fresh today"

fruit from the market at the city by the lake had to go eggless Easter.
 Jim Pattens wheat corner will be mere baga- telle alongside of the movement of the man who can corner eggs. Small egg corners are frequent, however. Cold storage men often lay aside seV- eral millions in semi-frozen state and hold them for nine months or so, dumping them on the mar ket when the price is in the clouds.
 But the cold storage egg is inferior because the fresh egg advocate argues the chicklet has a chance to grow little before the yellow inside freezes, thus storing up nasal evidence against the purity of the product.
 For the housewife in the big city there is an everyday opportunity to effect a coup, for when she can find producer who sells eggs laid fresh today" she considers herself model of wifely devotion. But as there is no smell on the outside of the shell there often lots of angry glances from the male partner in the household, which are born of the unborn chick
 The length of time that egg will keep fresh is governed by the which is taken in it's preservation. They are packed in ice rule, and if packed enough after being laid, the chicken life is properly killed and thus the an- gry eye-to-eye message is eliminated.
 Suitable to the occasion is the aged tale of the man with the flowing mustache and the time marked egg He had it for breakfast-the egg and being city man rode down to his place of business in conventional manner, taking mo- tice of the fact that while the seat beside him remained vacant there were half dozen com muters standing nearby.
 As he alighted at his destination a sniff likened to the odor of an egg of evil intentions pierced his nasal sense. During the walk to his office he noticed that the smell everywhere It in the street in the rotunda of the office building in the elevator, in the hall on the nine teenth floor, and he was startled beyond meas to find that on entering his office he smelled egg there, too.
 Stepping to the desk of the head bookkeeper he asked him if he smelt an unhealthy odor.

to remark on the yellow streak, edged to the eeward side of her chair when he bent toward her in dictating letter.
 He made the rounds of the office employees asking whether they smelt egg, but all being too polite to tell him he had overlooked an m portant point. declared they smelt no egg The odor stayed with him.
 In desperation he fled to his private office. nut tering as he slammed the door: My heavens the whole world smells, and no one knows It put me"
 But that is only minor point in the adoption of a 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 beyond expectations The last months of winter and the first of early spring are the hardest for the egg eaters, for then the cost soars there are less of the precious morsels and those which appear often holdovers from the year previous but even those bring prices rang ing from 90 to 40 cents a dozen.
 The time is remembered by many when the best eggs brought 12 cents a dozen in retail stores, and the wholesale price was 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 a means of obtaining nourish- 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 on the market close to 6000,000, and every one was sold to the local retail merchants. The eggs said to have
