HEN ON VACATION
No Longer Deserves the Title
Helpful in Kansas.
Fresh Eggs Hard to Get at Any
Price.
WILL BE NO LET UP.
Dealers Say They Will Be
Scarcer in Six Weeks.
Now lowering Around FOry
Cents a Dozen.
WILL BE NO LET UP.

The Kansas mortgage lifter-the
hen-has gone on a vacation. She Will
not return for active duty until next
spring and in the meantime the general
public is eating storage house hen
fruit and trying to look happy. Real
sure enough fresh eggs, the kind that
come from the country, where the
hens do not belong to the union, are
selling on the open market for thirty
six cents a dozen. AS the season al
vances the price will go higher.
For more than seven months the
Kansas hen has been consistently on
the job. She has produced high
grade article that was greeolly gon-
bIed up by the storage houses at Is to
90 cents a dozen. Today that same
egg is being taken out off ice and offer
ed to the omelet hungry buyers at
decidedly advanced price. Whlle IL is
true the cold storage man Is able 10
nav a nice dividend on his summers
labor and investment, yet the hen mas
been good to the farmer and during
the long summer months bought the
flour, the dry goods, the SHOES ana the
chewing tobacco and piled up a neat
bank account without uttering WORD
of complaint. Now she is taking
rest.
20 feel the egg shortage" said a To-
neta dealer today, land we Will notice
If even more sixty days from now. The
Kansas hen worked overtime last
summer and piled up a supply of eggs
Sufficient to carry the country through
the winter. The fact that the eggs
have been put on ice for five or six
months for safe keeping, is OF course
unfortunate; but the hen isn't to blame
and the storage house men did the
hest they could. We are doing the
best we can. We give our customers
fresh country eggs as long as they last,
then we are compelled to sell the
storage brand or take the fruit or our
list
In the small restaurants where egg
sandwiches have been selling for fve
cents, the five is now marked out and
a figure ten in glazing red ink con-
fronts the gaze of the hurry patron
This is really serious question,
said one restaurant man, land the
trouble is most of the people blame the
restaurants for the raise. The fact of
the matter is we have nothing to do
with it, We must suffer the SANDER
heaped upon us by the egg hungry
patrons and also the rapidly advancing
price of the article
Not before next March is reduc-
ton expected in the egg market. In
fact before that date, the price will go
several notches higher. Perhaps late
in May or early in June the egg mar
ket will become normal, the family hen
will go cackling about the barnyard
and the farmer will employ extra help
to gather the daily harvest.

TALKS OF HOUSEWORK.
DR.. Edna Day of X. Q. Gives Clut
Women Pointers.

"A woman who understands house
hold economics and applies her knowl-
edge in careful buying and in the prop
er care of the home, is as independent
as the woman who goes out to earn
money for the support of the home,
said DR.. Edna Day in her address
Thursday before the club women on
the subject, "Woman's Work in the
Past, Present, and Future
I'm primitive times men did the
hunting, fishing, and fighting, and the
women did all the rest. including car

carrying the burdens, preparing the
food, and treating the sick.
After men learned the use of fire,
It became necessary for women to keep
the fire, and a substitute had to be
found for her in the fields. So slaves
took her place as agriculturist, builder,
their dislike for work leads them TO
invent devices to save them labor.
Thus men are the inventors, while wo-
men, being naturally industrious, per-
form their labor with what means
they have, and have so far done little
for inventions.
LAS time went on the building of
factories took from the home the work
of producing household necessities,
utensils and clothing. Many women,
who did not follow the work of the
factories, found time to educate them
selves and prepare for work outside of
the home.
"Still the primary work of women is
the making of a home and the rearing
of children, and girls are now being
prepared for their work in schools,
supplemented by practice at home. The

Mr.. Bispham's place in the world of
music is unique, for to him. many
critics say, more than to any other
person, is due the growth in musical
appreciation in this country in the
past decade.
1t is thirteen years since Mr.. Bis
pham returned from his operate tri-
umphs abroad to become member of
the Metropolitan Opera company, a
step followed in turn by his Remittance
into the concert field.
According to press notices never be-
fore has his voice been more vibrant
with youth and vitality than at the
present time. His intelligence, his
wonderful interpretive power, his
wide experience and his unf1agging
enthusiasm mark him as one of the
foremost vocalists of either sex-the
acknowledged leader of the American
lyric stage.
Dean Horace whitehouse is indeed
fortunate in being able to book such
an attraction for Topeka.

THE FREIGHT RATE VICTORY.

The result of the hearing before Mr.
Prouty of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the question of railroad
rates. resulted in n complete victory for
this city. In 20 per cent of the points
at issue the city gets the same rate as
the through rate from Chicago to San
Francisco; in 26 per cent of them il
gets lesser rate. In four per cent,
that were held in a bunch by them
selves, u contention was made for q
greater rate to Salt Lake than from
Chicago to San Francisco; but Commits.
sioner Prouty said that he saw no rea-
son or Justification for charging a great
er rate from Chicago to Salt Lake than
from Chicago to San Francisco.
Chicago. in fact, is at the limit of
the water control of transportation on
the east from Salt Lake; San Francisco
is under the water control at the other
end, There is no reason whatever, in
Commissioner Prouty's Judgment, why
this place, being almost 1000 miles near
or to CHICAGO than San Francisco,
should be charged on anything greater
rate than is charged to
San Francisco.
And so it is complete victory for
the Commercial Club Traffic Bureau on
all the points presented; and the ship
pers in Salt Lake and vicinity can con-
graduate themselves on the very great
reduction that now seems assured in
freight rates from the East. The same
necessarily governs freight
rates from the West. also, except as
TO special freight rates on wool. which
will be determined on special and sepa-
rate grounds.

TROUBLESOME PANAMA.

The status of the bogus Panama Re
public is shaping about like 1T might
have been expected to do. That little
handful of people which comprises the
small Republic of Panama is an I'M
trained, reckless handful to whom it
would be disastrous to intrust any
responsibility or voice in the matter
of the Panama Canal, which has caused
and will still cause such tremendous ex~
pendltures. Primarily, it was supposed
that if the United States was given
jurisdiction over the ten~mile strip en-
bracing the canal, and retained exclu
sive control therein, the wild handful
of Panamans would not be troublesome; :;
and yet they are proving themselves so
right along.
Those in control in Panama seem to
think that all they have to do is to
make little trouble for the United
States, and what money they desire
Will be promptly Forthcoming. This

ROOSEVELT AND sNUBs.

1t is well established by precedent
that when the king or the heir apparent
sitting at banquet throws a glass Of
wine in the face of the gentleman next
to him, it is the etiquette of the occa
sion for that gentleman in turn to throw
his glass of wine in the face of his
nelghbor, and so on GOWN the board
MI Roosevelt appears to be a firm ad.
herent of this sort of courtesy. He was
snubbed by the, mayor of Milwaukee
who refused to serve on the committee
of welcome and entertainment with Mr..
Roosevelt as guest, and now Mr.. Roose-
velt passes on the compliment by refus.
ing to sit at banquet of the Hamilton
Club IN Chicago if Senator Lorimer of
Illinois is also to be there.
Mr.. Roosevelt is firm friend of ex.
Senator Hopkins of Illinois. He wrote
to Hopkins warm letter of commenda-
ton because Hopkins did what Roose
Velt wanted him to do in the Smoot
case. Hopkins pretended to sit in iudg
ment as member of a court in tbe
Smoot hearing. He presently, however
turned out to be in effect and tn all
lntents and purposes an attorney for
Smoot. and he dealt with the case on
political lines exclusively, as urged by
(then) President Roosevelt. Undoubted.
ly Roosevelt is filed with chaprin he.
cause the legislature of Illinois would
not re'elect Hopkins. especially as Hon.
kins through the organ of this very
Hamilton Club, printed Roosevelt Is let
ter as showing the approval of his course
by the Republican President and also
that he had "acted with his pa-tvu in
the Smoot case.
1t must be said. however, that Roose.
welt has administered far more snubs
than he has ever received. Perhaps he
has deserved as many as he has admin
lstered. but he has not received them
1t is probable, however, that time will
make this even, and that Roosevelt will
get his full share if he lives long
enough. His course as demapogue
with ever-increasing recklessness Of ac.
tion and Of speech, will be sure TO bring
him up with n round turn some time,
and then everybody will jump on the
hero that was.''
