breakfast menus-ones which do not
require eggs.
I'VE have investigated the problem
thoroughly already, but we have not
arrived at the complete solution. We
have found at the present time the
farmers are getting about 1872 cents
a dozen for eggs. We know 1t costs
l cent a dozen for six months for
storage. That would be 80 cents for
six months for a case of eggs holding
80 dozen. We have arrived at 80 cents
as the fair price for eggs to retail. We
shall maintain the boycott on eggs
from city firms until they are brought
down to that figure. Our price al
lows for a. fair commission to whole
saler, the railroad companies, storage
men and retailers. Meanwhile we will
get eggs from the country.
1.-The boycott and campaign should
prove of great interest to women all
over the country. Forty and As cents
for a dozen eggs in Chicago at this
time of the year is absurd and ridicu
lous. I certainly am glad the depart
ment of justice is to carry on an in
We certainly need it,"
Washington, Dec. IAN egg boy
colt was started today by Mrs. Ellis
Logan, president of the Federation of
Women's Clubs. Workers were busy
signatures on the streets, in
stores and offices to an agreement not
to buy eggs until the prices comes
down.
Baltimore, Md, Dec. 1.-The high
price of eggs is under investigation
by United States District Attorney
Hill of the Maryland district. He is
seeking to learn il any combination
exists to fix prices.

), Hampton. Va With two teachers
and fifteen students, General Samuel 9.
Armstrong, the son Of an American
missionary in the Hawaiian Islands
and an officer In the freedmen's bu-
reau, opened Hampton institute in
1868 on the lower Virginia peninsula,
two miles from Old Point Comfort
There he began his epoch making
work for the destitute and ignorant
colored people who had flocked to vir-
ginia. especially to Fortress Monroe,
before and after the proclamation Of
emancipation.
For over forty-fve years, under the
efficient leadership Of General Arm
strong and DR.. Hollis B. Frissell,
Hampton has been training selected
colored and Indian youths for Christian
service in homemaking. community
building, as well as teaching the trades
and agriculture.
Today the student enrolment is over
1900. Ambitious boys and girls have
come from distant states and foreign
countries to enjoy the all around train
ing which Hampton institute is able to
furnish.
The forty sixth school term. 1884.
has begun under favorable conditions.
and there Is every indication that
Hampton will have a most successful
year Of work. DR.. Frissell. the princi-
pal Of Hampton since General Arm
strong's death in 1893. has been great

rest and travel in foreign lands.

WILL TURN OUT ALL NEGRO EN-.
pLoYEEs.

Atlanta, Ga, October s.-Negro
employees in the internal revenue
service are likely to lose their jobs
under A. o. Blalock, whom President
Wilson recently named as collector
OF internal revenue to succeed Henry
s. Jackson, Republican.
During the Jackson regime quite
number Of positions were given to
Negroes and they, It is claimed,
drew thousands of dollars q year in
wages. Jackson was named by Pres
ident Taft, having been backed for the
position by Henry Lincoln johnson,
benjamin J. Davis and opposed to the
continuance of Henry A. Rucker in
the position.
Blacock says that there are no gov.
eminent positions for Negroes in the
South. A Negroes place is in the corn
field. I do not mean that a Negro
should not be educated and have his
rights, but there are deserving white
men capable Of holding the positions"
Most Of the Negro employees are
supposedly protected by the civil SER
vice regulations.

ciety, as well as the success Of DR..
Lyons efforts.
The money turned over will be q
great aid to Liberia In Its efforts to
provide adequate educational facilities.
Added to this benefit will be the an
nual interest Of several thousand dol
lars coming from the Caroline DOna-
van fund. Of which the big sum turned
over to DR.. Lyon represents the &C.
crued interest. DR.. Lyons residence
in America is at Baltimore.
There is government college in this
city, one supported by the NJ. ID.
church. and a number of denomina-
tional schools in the interior. The gov
eminent also supports number Of
schools in the interior. but there Ii g
general feeling that the educational
facilities should be increased.
DR.. Lyon probably knows more about
Lberian needs and conditions than
any man in America. having served
nearly eight years as the American
minister and consul general to this
country. His knowledge of conditions
here was evidenced in bis frequent 70
ports to the state department at WASH

United States in 1909 to study condi-
tons at FIRST hand. ...

cepted a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him throdgh the mails

sent accounts frequently. but no At

reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time. he informed
the collector. but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for It. The Judge personally ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and made use OF It and was
receiving the accounts. which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe in his crit.
