for all the eggs he cou'i get at 60
caEts per dozen. it will he seen that
we are faring better considerably
than the people of Little Britain. The
ime has at last arrived when we will
either have to forget the taste of
eggs or serve them like you would
watermelon or canteloupe-quar-
ter them. 1t will sound strange TO be
asked if you have a piece of egg, hut
then these are war times and we
should be surprised at nothing.

five to six feet deep. On the Huston

The greater part of this drift was
caused by the severe wind of We'd

TWO FIRES AT ROWLAND

There were two fires at Rowland
Tuesday and as a consequence there
are two houses less in Stanford's
suburban town. The Carter home,
owned by J. Fox Dudderar and oc-
cupied by James Holtzclaw and fami-
ly, burned to the ground, with a
greater portion OF the contents. The
Holtzclaws had 5000 insurance on
their furniture and Mr.. Dudderar
carried a small policy on the house.
A small house near Will Cordier's
owned by Ed Withers, colored, who
occupied it, was discovered on fire at
an early hour Tuesday morning and
Withers barely had time TO get his
wife and child out Of the building.
His wife was i'll and during the night
he had gotten up an hour before to
attend her wants and when he
awoke again the roof was falling
in. The contents were all destroyed.
Two fires coming so close together
should be a reminder of the fact that
an insurance policy is a mighty good
thing to have just now, when fires
are 80 numerous. They don't cost
much and the money they bring when
it $50 badly needed.to make repairs
or hsy ncw furniture With makes
thsrf the best investment one can
make Take this suggestion: See
Jesse p. Wearen, the insurance man
of Stanford, today and have your
