Egg Supply and Cost.

Chandelier may well crow with gusto
for Biddy these days, in view of her in
dustrial performance, says Farm and
Fireside. Ten wears ago our home-pro-
duced egg allowance per capita was POT,
which had market value of $3.50, or 9
cents each. The last census report gives
the annual per capita egg allowance a
decade later as 200, but the value of the
egg has advanced to u cents, or our egg
supply for the year cost each of us s. 10.
Collectively, our American biddies filled
a stable egg basket containing eighteen
billion eggs. These eggs would require
$500 full-capacity freight cars to trans
port them to market.

How Bobby Found Spot

the manager where that particular reel had
been purchased.
Probably touched by Bobbys eager little
face as he tremulously questioned mother
about the fate Of Spot, he very kindly gave
them full instructions how 10 reach the
place.
The very next day they visited the studio,
which by rare good fortune happened 10
be located not very far from Bobbys home.
AS they entered who should scamper UP to
the little boy and almost knock him over
in his frantic Joy but his very own little lost
doggie Spot.
Yes, Spot wagging his mite OF a tail and
licking Bobby's hands and face in very ex-
cess Of recognition. OF course, after such a
demonstration the management could not
fail to realize that Bobby must certainly be
the rightful owner OF their little mascot.
and how he Rugged and petted Spot as II he
meant never, never TO let him out Of his
arms again.
Presently the manager explained how one
afternoon. when the company was out OF
doors posing for q new picture, little Spot,
whining pitifully. had followed them all the
way back. Since then he had posed for
various OF their plays and had been their
beloved little mascot.
Although the entire company felt sorry
at the thought of losing him, for he had
endeared himself to every member, they
conceded that Bobby had a prior right.
But ere they returned him TO his rightful
and overjoyed little master they stipulated
that ne should be permitted TO visit them
very often.
And you may be sure that Bobby did.
