GERMAN GOVT. HAS
 MEAGRE FINANCES
Capitalists Establish Foreign
 Accounts to Beat Taxes

Berlin Dee. 23.-~''German capital has deserted the flag says the Nor- waerts in a bitter comment on the decline in value of the German mark
 Numberless cases are occurring in which the German sellers do not all low payment of their wares in Ger many but establish accounts abroad which are exempt from taxation, de- clares the paper. To the damage of the German rate Of exchange, con tinues Norwaerts. the German begsar sells his rags in the world market at what prices he can get and ignores the opportunities to get foreign moneys into Germany and thereby raise tho mark.
 Capitalists who fad tax evasion profitable refer to the German eco homie crisis with d shrug of the shoul- ders and lay the blame to the govern ment and financial politics.
 The Norwaerts states that German leather especially has been sold abroad at prices less than in Germany and with no other object than to trans fer the producers fortune to a place where it will not be taxed,
 For their own sakcs several thou sand illegal traders and capitalists are robDlnG their country and com mittin% a theft of food by driving prices upward" the paper charges. \ "Through. pressure on the rate of exchange German war bonds can be bought in Switzerland for ten marks and the loan is bought up in uuanti- ties by those who realize that Ger many must ultimately be given help and that the mark will rise.
 The purchaser of war loaN will then make fifty per cent instead or five per cent on the investm ent,'
 The newspaper declares that some means must be found for preventing the eXportution of EoodS to foreign countries. It concludes with tue statement that while the government is painstakingly spending d0,o0o,ooo or 50 900. 900 marks for oils and fats. 100, ,OO0,0 900 marks worth of French perfumes, soaps and modes have ar rived. The Entente, says the paper, must realize that II is encouraging German international illicit trade at a cost of German economic life.

WHY EGGS ARE
 so HIGH PRICED
Leak Of S120,000,00o Between
 Farmer and Consumer

Washington. Dec. 26.~--High prices of eggs are not entirely the fault of the producer. The man who sells the eggs has the remedy in his own hands. A loss of $120.0Qo, 900 a year in Qual- ity and value, in the ogg market. be- tween inc producer and the consumer is the big item that is keeping up the price Of eggs. And tue WaN !o save this loss and bring hat "all-Nou-Can- at-for-a quarter lunch," at least. back into the memory of man is up to the intermediate handler of the cggS, the buyer and seller.
 Specialists of the United States de- partment of agriculture advocate pay ing premium for large, clean, fresh cgss. It costs the farmer more 10 pro duce that kind of cGgs than it does small dirty. rotten, inferior products, and unless the price is a sufficient in ducement, he will not make the extra exertion to better the quality.
 Better Price for Good Quality.
 Some produce dealers claim that 1t is impossible for them to buy GEES on d graded quality basis because their competitors pay a flat rate. NevprthC- less. many firms throughout the coun- tl'v are buying on the quality basis ~nI reuliHing a profit thereby. such operations uecesstatH that the dealers know how to bandle and grade the cgGS so as to buy iudlcioHH'N, ard th"% must make "n effort 10 show the ne"- ple from whom they buy what th" different standards and 4rade& are. Whenever and wherever tbs quality method of buying has been pursued iHNariahlN tic quality and GuaUtiE of eggs produced have rapidly improved and increased.
