Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
"Uncle Wiggily and the King"
By HOWARD, B. GARIS.
TNcLE wIGGLY LoNGEARs,

r Uncle WIGGLY LONGEARs, the
nice old rabbit gentleman, was
sitting in an easy chair in his
hollow stump bungalow. looking out
of the window at the blue sky. and he
was feeling quite happy. And why
should he not be happy?
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his musk
rat lady housekeeper, had just given
him a nice breakfast Of cabbage pam
cakes. with carrot maple sugar tied
in a bow knot in the middle. and Uncle
Wiggily had eaten nine.
And now, said the bunny uncle to
himself, Il think 1 shall go out and
take a walk. Perhaps / may have an
adventure. DO you want any perfume,
or anything like that from the store2"
asked Mr.. Longears OF Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy

"Oh, I'll do that all right" promised

soon he was right under the kitchen.
and there, Just where they had
dropped through the crack. were the
kings gold and silver pennies and
other pieces Of money. Uncle Wiggily
picked them up, put them in his
pocket and crawled out again.
There you are king" he said. You
have your money back"
"Oh, thank you so much" cried the
king I'll have the cook give you
some carrots And he did. before he
went on counting his money in the
kitchen. And this time he stuffed
dishrag in the crack so no more pennies
would fall through.
Thus we see how Uncle Wiggily
helped the king, and in the next story.

strealss of red. The farmer may be careless
and gather his eggs only once a week. The

spring when the weather is cold the deteriora

HANDLING DONE SCIENTIFICALLY.
Il is Just with these conditions, of which the
farmer never takes note. that the scientific re-
irigerator OF eggs has to deal The egg stor-
age man knows three things: That the early
spring egg. laid in cool weather and taken at
once from the nest to the cold storage cham

ton and that this element is so important that
he sells in October the eggs ne has placed in
refrigeration in August and Scptcmber--hold-
ing over for the winter trade the eggs refrg-
Grated in March. April and May.
You begin TO see that the strictly fresh"
egg OF the retailer may really be inferior
10 his storage egg. The egg caught by the re-
frigerator man before the first s;reaks of red
have formed and held in chilled temperature
will never grow such streaks. Scientific re-
;rigeration makes rapid progress. The egg
for storage has to be fresh gathered. Ii has
70 be produced on farms where they tend
to business 1t isn't the haphazard egg OF
the farmers barnyard, but the egg of pro-
fessionally equipped egg farm. Your haphaz-
ard egg, gathered by the farmers wife when
she hasn't much else to do. is what you get
over the Strictly fresh" counter. The re-
frigerator agent has learned to his cost that
it has started bad in its youth and isn't apt TO
improve or even to hold its own with age.
That is all the mystery there is to the egg
business Along comes a newspaper man. He
dares to candle the eggs and certify that those
that appeared olcared-thc great mass of the
storage supply-are good eggs. For taking his
word instead Of the evidence of your own cleo
tric light bulb you pay 10 cents dozen more
than you need to for storage eggs.
And this money is a pure waste and as great
a tax upon the housewives ignorance as the
money the grocer originally took by mark
ing the storage eggs as fresh" says Herbert
A. Emerson, chief of the egg marketing di-
vision of Commissioner Dillons Office.

from the food standpoint The result IS thst
advantage has been taken OF his ignorance OF
actual market conditions.
We attacked the egg marketing situation
early last fall. We have saved in consequence
at least S375000 week to New York consum-
ers by sending out detectives to catch stores
that marked storage goods as fresh We caught
spectators also, and they are now paying
terrific price for their speculation, tor tho
spring eggs are coming from Southern Texas
and Tennessee and the warmer Middle West
ern and Southern states and they catch the
market 80 per cent overstocked with storage
eggs.
AS wicked an institution as this town pos
sesses is the Mercantile Exchange, where GER
tain egg spectators meet daily to offer to
buy and to offer TO sell eggs. Actually they
never buy or sell anything. But they make
preposterous offers on a class OF eggs that
exists chiefly as fiction, and on these offers
work up a quotation that is away above the
legitimate market price. Other grades or
eggs. existing in actual trade conditions, are
scheduled up to the fictitious values and so the
people are heeced through the winter Now
rage eggs are to be had for less than their
actual value
And there you have the egg situation as IL
comes home TO you with your package from
the grocery store. The curse OF the stale.
warm-stored egg of our fathers should not, so
to speak, be visited upon the chilled and soien-
tfcally held egg of our present day, the likes
of which our fathers. and even our older sis
tiers, never knew.

a partnership with the very interests that have
dealt crookedly in eggs for years. Egg mer-
