THE DOCUMENTS.
After a delay Of several minutes Mr..
Hart of Becker's counsel objected to
the introduction OF the documents In

ture of the defendant hadn't been
proved. 1t was also urged by Becker's
lawyer that the evidence contained In

Justice Goff called upon Mr.. Moss to
argue against the objection and then
the Court ruled that the signatures had
been established; also that the docu-
ments were Official.
Justice Goff read over the documents

he asked Sheehan II ne could tell
whether or not the papers were In the
same condition they had been In when
they left the files of the Police Depart

Mr.. Moss that he would have to show

FRESH EGGS IN GOOD DEMAND.
Little More Attention to Details VIII
Result In Profit, Repaylng Time
and Labor.

By PROF A. G. PHILLIPS, Kansas)
The demand for eggs seems practi-
cally unlimited, more especially for
the better grades. The growth OF the
storage industry has tended to equal
ize prices by increasing the de-
mand in summer when fresh eggs
are plentiful and supplying the def
cheney in winter when fresh eggs are
scarce.
Since the demand IS greatest for
the best grades, it seems obvious that
u little moo attention TO details will
result in a profit amply repaylng the
extra time and labor involved.
It Is not the purpose here to enter
into any discussion or the ways Of
increasing the production of eggs. but
