COLD STORAGE EGGS

Eggs are retailing in Memphis around 80 cents a dozen
These are eggs that were bought up last spring and summer when
they were plentiful and cheaper, and put in cold storage to await
the time when consumption would exceed production and they
could be sold for almost any price, or at least as high a price as
the public can afford. There should be some relation between
the price paid for a commodity and the price it is sold ior to the
consumer.

TIE LAND THAT GOD HAS BUILT

This is the land that God has built,
Out of the best that he had
Nodded so carefully from all that good
With touch of the bad.
And he hid in its bosom water SO pure,
And the finest ol gold and wealth,
And he sent from the heavens the purest Of air.
And he blessed it with wonderful health.
For God looked down on the cities of men
With their ceaseess clanor and din,
And he in the lordly palace and den
The wanton pleasure and Sin.
And He said: Il will build Eden fair,
With halls Of the stately pine
Where larks aeolian thrill the air
And sunbeanls warm like wine.
Where the golden notes Of the meadow lark
Shall from mountain resound
And flowers of the rarest, richest lues
Shall spring from its fertile ground
And lovely lakes shall mirror skies
Where rainbow tints shall dwell,
And night with her tranquil, starry eyes
Shall of my glory tell
And He stocked the streams with wonderful trout
Whose beauty words tell
And He brought forth the finest of graceful deer
To roam in it's wooded dells
And back from the south every spring of the year
To this Eden the song birds would
To sing of the love ever young i'll their hearts
And to happily rear up their young.
SO this is the land that God has built
Far from the glamour and whirl-
Fa from the sin and the sorrow and grie,
That is trying to darlen the world.
And here With the greatest of peace and content
I'll remain till my spirit has fed,
And gently be meath its sEeltering breast
Please bury HE when I am dead.
