According to the pure food law
every merchant must candle his
eggs, and see that he sells no
bad ones. The merchant can
make no excuse that he did not |
know that eggs were bad when |
he sold them The law says |
that the grocer is supposed to
know that he is selling fresh |
eggs. If a farmer sells a grocer
bad eggs, he is just as liable to
be arrested and heavily fined as
the grocer who sells them. Cove |

have quit paying a bounty on
wolf scalps and say that in pay
ing such a bounty heretofore
they have been working great

as the coy otes have been killed
off in Reno county the jacl1rab
bits have increased until now the
the annual damage done by the
jackrabbits is far greater than
the damage ever done by the
wolves. Might be something in
this Hill City New Era.

to be true. That's the case jus !
about nine times out of ten.
I There wouldn't be much scandal
if people told only what they
knew. Oakley Graphic.
