HOTEL LOBBIEs
Shortage of Egg Crop

The sudden drop in temperature from summer to winter weather put check on all hens, and as a consequence, egg formation is temporarily setback" said A. L. Dew of Chalkville. Nothing puts fowl back quicker than extreme cold weather, except disease. But the check can be remedied by little forcing, and gradually the birds strike their usual gait.
 Fresh yard eggs are bringing 45 cents per dozen, and I look for them to go to 90 or 60 cents before spring. Eggs are scarce, the cause Is attributed to the two extremes of weather the past summer and fall-30 days of rain early in the season and then a long dry spell. Feed IS very high, and as a consequence many farmers and fanciers are selling their flocks down too close. In the spring eggs, fancy eggs for sitting purposes, will be very high. Incubator stock that sold the past season for s per 100 will probably bring $7 or sS. And again, the owners of large flocks who specialize in day-old chicks at 10 cents each can hard ly quote this price the coming season. Feed this winter is 50 per cent higher, which naturally means a big outlay ta anyone feeding poultry by the hundred or thousand head.
 guess the consumer will have to blame the high price of hens and hen fruit to the war, as this Is a general ex- cuse nowadays"

I suspected that 1t wasn't new, but l thought it would ''get by." Anyway. I wanted to go to the ball game and had to have something to look bright and snippy, as 1t were and appropriate to the moment, and I had to write 1t and get through.

By Algernon Charles Swinburne. When the hounds of spring are on win
 ter's traces,
 The mother of months in meadow
 or plain Fills the shadows and windy places With lisp of leaves and ripple or
 rain; And the brown bright nightingale
 amorous Is half assuaged for Itylus, For the Thracian ships and the Ioreisri
 faces,
 The tongueless vigil and all the pain. Come with bows bent and with empty
 ing of quivers,
 Maiden most perfect, lady or light, With noise of winds and or many
 rivers, With a murmur Of waters anu "i'h Bind on thy sandals, o thou most fleet Over the splendor and speed of thy
 feet; . For the faint east quickens, the wan
 west shivers
 Round the feet of the day and the
 feet of the night. Where shall we find her. how shall we
 sing to her.
 Fold her hands round her knees and
 
 cling? that mans heart were as hre and
 could spring to her, Fire or the strength of the streams
 that spring. Fer the sun and the moon are unto her AS raiment. as songs Nof the harp
 player; For the risen stars and the fallen cling
 to her,
 And the southwest wind and the west
 wind sing. The full stream feeds on flower of Ripe grasses trammel travelling foot, The faint fresh flame of the young From leaf to flower and flower to fruit; And fruit and leaf are as gold and fire And the oat is heard above the Tyre. And the hoofed heel of a satyr crushes The chestnut husk at the chestnut root. And Pan by noon and Bacchus by night. Fieeter of foot than the fleet-f kit, Follows with dancing and fills with de- light The Maenad and the Bassarid And soft as lips that laugh and hide

 Interesting incidents at the front were described by the primate of Ireland in Belfast when he addressed meeting of shpyard workers on the question Of pro- hjbition during the war. The primate. who visited the Somme last spring, said he was going down a trench when he was asked to christen it. and he did so, naming it Donegal Pass after the widely known Belfast thoroughfare. He did not hear grumble in the trenches or the hospitals. and he did not sec a man look glum except poor fellow whose pipe had just been broken.

6NHAT the country has confidence in
 President Wilson has been evi.
 denced by the action of the New York stock exchange in industrial and railroad stocks since the announcement of his reelection.
 This country has real confidence in the man, and judging by the news from Washington it is evident he is deter mined to continue a strictly business pol icy during his next term.
 Business men who know the work are to be put in the new cabinet. Colonel Goethals is to be head of the war depart ment and practical naval man is to suc- ceed Josephus Daniels, who, it is said, will resign on the 4th of March and re- turn to the active management of his newspaper at Raleigh. North Carolina.
 Secretary McAdoo is to retire from the treasury department to return to active business, and either Birmingham's repre- sentative on the federal reserve board, W. P. G. Harding, or some other trained banker will succeed him.
 It is said that the President will not have anyone allied with the Morgan in- terests at the head of the Treasury De- partment, and that he is looking favora- bly upon MT. Harding and other bank CTS who have not been associated with the so-called Wall Street element,
 The President has apparently decided to eliminate the politicians and put real business men in his cabinet.
 In the meantime, business is booming in this country-in every section of it-and the chances are that all the good stocks of we'll managed and earning corporations will go much higher.
 The practical investigation of the rail- road situation in this country by a joint committee of Congress, it is believed, will put the railroads on basis where they can all earn legitimate interest on their

 But the question arises, What has become of the Emperor's total ab- stinence rule to be taken as an exam pie, announced at the beginning of the European carnage? For several years past William II had been preaching temperance. He had com plained of bibulous indulgence among the student bodies and had threatened to restrict the sale of beer in gardens largely frequented by young men.
 Champagne is the aristocratic drink of the world, but close second IS a high grade of Rhine wine, which many Germans value above the spark ling French commodity. The Kaiser 74. said to have been eSpeclally Ioiu

 It will be only fair, however, to withhold judgment on the Kaiser, with his fresh consignment of wine from France, until he is heard from. Maybe he intended giving it away to invalids and the wounded in hospitals. The war lord may be on the water wagon aft CT all.
