ter, we know we'll never get ten
pounds out Of it. There are always
five or six ounces of water that have
to be considered, and the butter sticks
to the jar and the paddle. We do
we'll if we get nine pounds and !
sell that butter at the very price we
pay the farmer for 1t.
During a season. we. consider our.
selves lucky if we come II even in
the butter and egg market.
I'D like to see the women secure
on the market at "a cents. We would
certainly help them sell them. and
probably they would learn Il few
things about the conditions they have
to contend with. Why, some Of these
men that are liollering for cileup
eggs and cheap butter would sell
them at a 81 if they could get the
money"
Weather Helps Some.
During the past week, fresh eggs
have been a little more plentiful.
owing TO the warm weather. Dair;
butter is not n too plentiful, and
retains at IS cents a pound. Creani-
cry butter is selling at 40 cents.
But while butter and Eggs arc high,
will be very reasonable. Lettuce will
sell al five cents Il bunch, celery at
10 cents and parsley at five cents.
Cucumbers will retail at is and 20
cents each, while ripe tomatoes will
bring 90 cents a pound.
Cranberries. without which no
Christmas dinner il complete. are
now selling at 1921 cents a quart.
Malaga. grapes are. bringing 20 cents
la pound. while new nuts are selling
at 20 cents.
There is every indication that tur-
keys will not be quite go plentiful as
at THANKSGIVING time. a number OF
the. farmers are selling direct to the
consumer. and they have very few
turkeys to offer. The result will un-
doubtedlN be a dearth OF the. national
feast bird at Christmas time, with
prices ranging from is to % cents a
pound. Geese will not be any too
plentiful. and will sell at from Is to
Is cents a pound. Chickens will
bring from IA to II cents.
Christmas trees are very plentiful,
and sell from Ii cents to IS each.
Holly. which plays such an important
, part in Yuletide decorations. sells at
25 cents Il pound. while the Christ
mas wreaths. containing 20 yards,
sell at 81 each.

GIVE EACH MAN AN HOUR
County Commissioners Will Not Fin.
isll With Architects Until
Tomorrow.

With a total of fourteen architects
submitting plans for the new county
court house, the board Of county CON-
missioners has been busy since yes
terday afternoon. looking at plans and
hearing the arguments of each archi-
tect. Only two were heard yesterday
afternoon, while three submitted their
plans this morning. The commits
sioners expect to be at this work all
day tomorrow, after which they will
adjourn to meet the next day. when
they will go over the proposition at
length.
Each architect is being allowed one
hour in which to explain his plans and
give his arguments in favor Of accept
ing them. In this way. each mar is
given every opportunity. and the
board is given plenty of time to study
the plans submitted.
It probably will be the end of the
week before the board announces the
plans they have accepted. Bids on
construction work and the material to
be used will then be asked for.

While Eastern Women War on
Egg Cost, Local Prices Soar
Grand Forks Paying 80 Cents a Dozen for Storage Varie-
ty and Dealers Say They Can't Make Money-Butter
-: Conditions Are About the Same.

While h~ousekeepers' leagues and
other organizations of women in vari-
GUS sections of the COUNTRY are en-
d~eavoring to smash h high prices Of
eggs. local residents are paying 33
cents a dozen for the storage variety
this in a community that is generally
recognized as the home of, commodi-
tics are secured without the profits
uf the so-called lniddleman added In.
These prices have prevailed in this
city for the greater part Of the winter.
n there is every indication that they
will prevail during the remainder Of
the season.
An investigation this morning Of the
local egg market found conditions
not at all satisfactory, neither among
dealers or consumers. The latter OBJ
ject to paying 33 cents for h storage
and 40 cents for fresh eggs. while
dealers say it is only possible for them
to make little If any money at those
prices.

morning. land we have to pay ?6A

making any money. i would like to
see the dealers sell egg any cheaper
and make money, and Id like to- see
some Of these consumers. who arc
hollering about the high price OF eggs,
try making any money on them.
There are a number Of things that
the consumer does not take into con-
sideration when he purchases a dozeu

are bound to lose n or two dozen

never thinks OF that.
And. then. if We sell a dozen eggs
