intention OF preserving them until new
quarters we're secured. members believed
that the day was not far off when a
more oOmmodious home would be provided
but the curtains have been put back on
the windows and members are beginning
70 believe that they are doomed to remain
IN the present building. This indication Is
especially discOuraginE TO the many new
members who have been taken in during
the last few months, for they have been
led to anticipate the joys Of a more suitable
home.
The club has not been able thus far to
solve the problem that oonfronts t. II
has the choice of three courses 20 pursue

The choice lies between a mending of the
preached negotiations with the Woodnen

Twenty Years Ago.
Twenty years ago eggs sold In the
spring and summer at 3 cents per dozen
and the production then was less than
one-fourth per capita OF what It is now
and consumers paid $iOO per dozen or went

The greatest Conservation Of resources
now known is holding surplus food prod
ucts in cold storage from time Of plenty
until time of scarcity.
Because Of this proposed legislation the
egg storers are reluctant to invest In eggs
for cold storage. forcing the larger part
of the present egg crop onto the city mar
kets, causing an oversupply and present
low prices Of about cents to cents below
