WHEN EGGS IS EGGS
There Are Twenty-One Varieties Of
Hen Fruit, According To Boston
Authorities
CPittsburg DispatchJ

1t may be, as has been jovially made
clear to US and never denied, that
pigs is pigs, but when eggs is eggs is
a very debatable question, n an investi-

neighbcrhood as the newly laid, speed

Safety first is assured when reliance
is placed on these, as to some of the
rest the advice Of counsel might be
sought before testifying. The many
varieties, of course, are for the trade.
The consumer probably would not un-
derstand them and probably would not
want to try. Reliance must be had
upon the dealer who serves the con-
sumer, for not every consumer of the
egg can constitute himself student Of

that there are two other candidates
for the position.
At the meeting of Joe Hooker Post
held Monday evening, the following
endorsement of Commander Neal was
unanimously adopted:
"Joe Hooker Post No. 81, G. A. R.
Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
For several years Joe Hooker Post
No. 81, G. A. R., has been convinced
that in Commander George D. Neal
the department of Ohio would find a
comrade we'll equipped in every way
to discharge the duties incumbent
on a successful state commander.
Comrade Neal was among the first to
enlist from this county. This county
has been his home during all the
years of his life. He first served in
the 4th and then in the 1920 Ohio
Infantry, and with honor and credit
to himself and country He is pecul-
iarly fitted for the position we seek
for him because of his ability as an
organizer and leader. Comrade Neal
is now serving his third term as COM
mander of Joe Hooker Post. AS a
business man he has shown marked
qualifications, and is in such posi-
tion that he can give all of his time,
if required, to the advancement of the
interests of the department
"Comrade Meal is a man of fine
personality, genial and affable as well
as exceedingly capable. Joe Hooker
Post, therefore, has no hesitancy in
endorsing Comrade Neal in the full
est degree, and do most cordially
commend him to you as a comrade
worthy of your support for the posi-
ton of department commander of
Ohio. We do not ask you to pledge
in advance, but come to the encamp-
ment with an open mind and meet
Comrade Neal. Then decide.
Thanking you for your favorable
consideration of the above, we are
