prices above normal. No good reason
exists, saws the report, why prices
should not be subject to the usual sum

What percentage of men, among these

For whose democracy will the Unit

democracy of France, and although
Russia was formerly a monarchy and
England and Belgium are still mon

the principles of democracy.
Mr.. BalfOur, now in the United

PACK YOUR EGGS CAREFULLY.

Shippers Of eggs should pay more
attention to the packing and grading
of eggs, if they want to get top prices.
1t is a common occurrence to have
the bottom of a case of eggs give
away, and let the entire contents of
the case drop on the street or floor
of store.
Only recently, the writer witnessed
an occurrence of this kind on the busy
thoroughfare of 14th Street, where
two men were carrying a case of eggs
between them; and, another, in the
down town section, when a truckman
was carrying it from his wagon to
a store
The fault lies with the shipper. A
few more nails, and little extra time
would have saved several dollars
worth of damaged eggs in each case.
No doubt the shippers will declare
they are being robbed by the dealer.
