COLD WEATHER AFFECTS EGG
YIELD OVER COUNTRY

The price of eggs was high enough
and they were scarce enough before
the recent cold snap; but the frez-
ing weather seems to have almost
put a stop to the egg production In
all sections where fowls were not
provided with comfortable quarters
and plenty Of sheltered scratching

are now bringing sixty cents in this

Sir: 1t was painfully noticea BILE

Home guards Sunday afternoon that
as the Stars and Stripes passed.
practically not a man or boy re-
moved his hat.
Does this not argue for early
training? And in addition to such
instruction as may be given in the
home, should there not be an effort
made in all schools TO educate the
coming generation TO show proper
respect for the Flag?
II was also evident at Battell park
while the band played The Star
Spangled Banner that there are
still men and boys in Mishawaka
who either do not know they should
take off the hat and remain standing
during the rendition of the national
anthem. or else they know and do
not care.
