Holy Communion services at the
Church of the Good Shepherd this

Mr.. and Mrs. Max APPEL, of
Meriden, were in North Topeka
yesterday on business.
Charles Caldwell was in North
Topeka yesterday on business
trip from Elmont.
Yesterday North Topeka was
full of farmers and the majority
of them were trying to find a
market for their eggs and as a
result of this the grOcers are over
whelmed with the product. The
increase in the supply of eggs
from the country is causing the
ones which have been in cold
storage to step back out of sight.
A month ago eggs climbed to 80
cents a dozen. Now, thanks to the
farmers and their hens, ii has
fallen to 16 cents and one grocery
man esterday predicted that the
price will still lower.
