Prices in Argentina were advancing
on Monday because Of unfavorable
weather. but Liverpool on Tuesday
cabled a clearing weather and better
outlook. summary of the foreign
crop situation was unfavorable. The
situation in America Is bearish enough
at every point and dealers feel like
selling on every bulge. which they
would do were II not for the uncertain
conditions existing In Europe. The po-
lltical affairs are such that wheat Is
liable to receive big boost any min
ute by the mixing up OF some OF the
greater powers In the present scrap.
This holds dealers back and makes a
very dull wheat market
Weather is very fine over the north
west and wheat IS seeking the mar
kets In heavy volume. Minneapolis re-
ports a fair demand for wheat and

THE URGENT NEEDS OF OUR
HOSPITAL.

/ Undoubtedly the societies and
people who have donated to the
hospital, do not understand that
there is imperative need that more
rooms be furnished as soon as pos
sible.
The rooms that have been set
aside for you are needed or will be
in the immediate future.
At present there are nine patients
being cared for, seven of whom have
been operated upon, one sick and
one with a fractured limb, and this
demonstrates what public benefac-
tion the hospital is and how badly it
has been needed
Hospitals are very rarely or
never self-sustaining even in the
largest cities, but all hospitals are
aided all the time by public spirited
societies and persons, by donations,
legacies, public balls and suppers,
receipts from tag day and in every
conceivable charitable manner to
help pay the running expenses which
are always in excess Of receipts.
The hospital is not and will not
become money making institution
and it is not for any pecuniary gain
that We ask those who have agreed
to fit up rooms to do so as soon as
possible, and we ask all other socie-
ties and people charitably inclined
to aid us in keeping the hospital in
operation. Much cOmmendable effort
is being expended in trying to OBJ
tain for Plymouth, factories and
business, public library and a pub
lie need of a hospital for the sick
and unfqrtunates is surely as great
as for any of these.
The use of fine building has
been donated without asking aid, but
We will be grateful for aid in keep
ing it in operation.
Whatever you do, do reasonably
soon.

President.

Stamp the Eggs.

Jacob Rosenberg of Monterey has
written to Representative Barnhart
suggesting an amendment to the
pure food laws that will require
every person who sells eggs to
stamp his name and address on
every egg he sells, so that respon-
sibility for bad eggs can be traced
to the right source. Recently,
when eggs were all but impossible
to get in Plymouth, a resident heard
of citizen who sells eggs, and
bought one dozen. They were sup
posed to be fresh, and were not
candled' of course. Two DAYS
after the same man being in a store
where some eggs were brought in by
a farmer, bought a Dozen They
presumed to be strictly fresh, and
were supposed to be candled. The
housewife found bad one, but does
not know which dozen it came from
Had the egg sellers name been
stamped on the eggs, she would have
known who was responsible. Fix
the law to protect the one who has
to pay three or four cents each fol
eggs. so he will not get bad ones.

HERE ARE THE FACTS
ABOUT THAT ECONOMY

Compared With Former Administra-

help pay the high cost of a Demo-
cratic House in 1910.
The state debt sinking fund in
1909 was raised by the 1908 levy for
that purpose. There was no state
debt sinking fund levy in 1907, 1906
and 1905, so, of course, the transfer
of the state debt sinking fund for
general purposes In 1908, amounting
to 1888, was simply a joke. In
1908 there was no state debt to be
paid or that could be paid. The
same thing was true in 1907, when
there was no levy, but when delin-
quent tax driblets created a fund of
$3,OS4.43, which was transferred.
In 1906, when the state debt sink
ing fund amounted to $219,O73.56.
the sum of $154,OOO was paid on the
state debt out of the fund. AS
there was no state debt coming
due, and as the state debt sinking
fund tax levy had been abandoned.
and no funds were coming in for
state debt purposes, the remainder,
or S65,671.57, was transferred to the

ance In the treasury at the end of
1906 was $603,655.44, it is evident
