has the further advantage OF a rela-
lively low cost of living. 1t looks
like the farmer in Nauvoo's vicinity
will have no trouble in securing farm
help at the wages some of them are
paying. We are told that several are
paying $50 per month and found.

A movement to save some sixty
million eggs for food this year by
country wide observance Of an egg
less Easter has been suggested by
prominent women. 1t was also an

day on Easter among the poor folks

flock of hens of their own, for the
fruit" is too high, but the children
must have. a few colored eggs to re-
