THE EGG QUESTION.

Twenty thousand members OF Gle
veland's Thirty Cent Egg Club have
agreed to eat no more eggs for
three weeks. An exchange is there
by reminded OF the old German say
ing "If you want fresh eggs. YOU
must keep hens"
A business man who travels and
watches social manners closely.
said the other day that whereas
formerly only farmers and struggling
mechanics kept chickens, now a
great many people who live on good
salaries and make pretepsions to
social prominence have hen-coops in

The high cost of eggs is no
small matter. II vote were to be

ideal breakfast, probably more peo-

There is a mythical tale about a

big breakfast of bacon and eggs.

PANAMA CANAL TRADE.

The Minneapolis Journal has the
following careful editorial on the eff
feet of the Panama canal on New
Orleans:
The geological argument for the
rapid growth OF New Orleans after
the Panama canal opens is a strong
one. A government statis,ician, for
example. has figured il out that the
total value Of the imports OF for
cign countries that will be brought
by the canal nearer to- New Orleans
than to either London or New York.
Is no less than a billion and a half
dollars every year. That is to say.
New Orleans as port will have a
varying advantage IL water carriage
over the worlds two greatest ports
on this tremendous auioun, Of trade.
II becomes a question. therefore.
whether the great Mississippi valley
can lay down at New Orleans a con-
siderable share of these goods desir-
ed by foreign countries at prices
that will compare favorab:y with
those OF similar goods laid down at
New York or London.
New Orleans will soon be actual
ly nearer to all the western coast Of
both North and Sou., imerica. 10
the eastern coast of Asa and to all
Oceanica than London or New York.
The most fertile and productive val
ley in all the world will thus find
new and better outlets FIR It's pro-
ducts. Instead az ha.ing TO send
everything it produces cas-. 4: ; west.
the Mississippi valley vii, through
the workings OF the canal find new
north and south channels @, trade
opening up.
The expectation Of grain and
meat products from the United Stat
es is steadily decreasing. We are
eating these foods ourselves, instead
Of selling them to others. But the
falling off in these exports is more
than compensated by the increase in
the expectation OF manufactured
goods. In 1890 only Fl per cent Of
our expectation was manufactured
goods. The volume of our exports
OF manufactured goods has been ris-
ing rapidly, for the sls00O0.0O0 Of
1890 swelled to st7s,Oo00Oo in 1900.
and to the enormous total OF $780,
100000 in 1910. s.,,
IF American manufacturers take
due advantage of their new opportu-
mites, and especially il the Mississ-
ippi valley uses the Panama canal
as the door to world trade it is fit
ted to be. another decade will see
growth unprecedented in our expor-
tation OF manufactured goods"
What is true Of New Orleans on
the Gulf OF Mexico. is largely true
OF Los Angeles on the Pacific coast.
II is the nearest American port, ex-
cept San Diego. to the canal and
from il must be shipped large per
centage Of traffic going through the
canal eastward. and into II must
come large proportion Of freight
from the eastern states and Europe
to the western part Of the United
States.

nal Is about to revolutionize com.
