The above survey covers all stocks
OF eggs in the United States. High
prices which have prevailed undOubted-
ly have curtailed consumption of butter
and eggs.
Decline in prices of fresh eggs has
been caused principally by light de-
-mand and increased receipts, which are
moving in the southern states, also by
latencss Of the season on selling storage
eggs, and the approach Of the produc-
ing season on fresh eggs.
Decline on butter is due to light
consumption, caused by high prices,
ana to the fact that there is still sur
plus in reserve stocks.
Poultry Higher.
Receipts of poultry for Christmas
: holiday trade were about normal. On
account Of extremely cold weather dur
ing the holiday marketing dates, and
difficulties experienced in transporta-
ting supplies to selling destination.
There was a good demand for holt
day poultry and the product has gen
orally been sold out at satisfactory
values.
Receipts of poultry at country points |
are now lighter, and prices worked
higher toward the end Of the week.

Future Prices on Hogs.
There is naturally some uneasiness
among hog raisers as to what hogs
are likely to sell at in February and
later on. There seems to be little
chance OF cheaper corn. at least until
the next crop is ready for market, nor
even then should the 1919 crop be be-
low normal. Concensus of opinion in
clines to the belief that prices on all
kinds of i've stock will be maintained
and that the big packers will not be
permitted to play horse with the needs
of producers. Winter feeding will
likely be as heavy as usual and the
crop of hogs for spring shipment, will,
as a rule be as large as during last
spring and summer. Some, however,
are not so sanguine and are inclined
to hold corn, and not hogs, for a better
market.
Farmers to Get Permits.
The federal food administrator for
Indiana sent out kilograms on Satur-
day to the county food administrators
asking that they call meetings of the
farmers and county agents to work
out an equitable distribution system Of
shipping permits.
H. w. Gilbert. food administrator
for Wayne, received notice that farm
ers may make applications for permits
through the railway agents at their

Fortune Tellers

The beginning of q new year usually arouses
a desire to know what the forthcoming twelve
months have in store. We would like to lift the
veil that obscures futurity to catch glimpse of
the workings of Providence as they pertain to US
particularly. This longing is characteristic of
the whole human race It has no racial imita-
lions. The South Sea islander is just as keen to
obtain an insight into the future is the Ameri-
can who pays 81 to have the lines of his palm
read. And modern man differs in no respect from
the old Roman who many centuries ago believed
the viscera of victims and the flight of birds fore
told veal or woe. Fortune telling is supersti-
ton that civilization has not been able to eradi-
cate. Cultured women and highly trained profess
sional men still cling to the humbug.
Epictetus, the Roman philosopher, in dis
course on the use of divination, which was prac-
ticed with superstitious abandon by his people,
punctures the whole fabric Of soothsaying with
this question and answer:
what then leads us to frequent use of divina-
+tion? Cowardice, the dread of what will happen.
This is the reason why we flatter the OWNERS"
His observation may be applied with potency
ito the men and women of today who believe card
dealt by slatterny woman with many-colored
shawl foretells life or death, happiness or mis-
fortune, success or failure. Brave men and
women have no fear of the future. They are will
ling to accept the issue of life it is presented
Weaklings fear their fall too much. "They dread
what will happen
Even granted that it were possible to pene-
.rate the future who would want his whole life
for a year spread out before him with notations
like this:
ION February 2, you'll contract the influenza !;
on March 8, your wife will die; on June 6, you will
make $4,000; on Sept. 8, robber will shoot you,
and on Nov. 13, you will be buried"
Would not that be a cheerful prospect for
1919? And yet foolish people permit their des-
tiny to be guided by sentences of ignorant for
tune tellers. They will accept with finality and
believe with dogmatic assurance silly predictions
about their careers. Fear Of the future has made
them towards.

the roadway had to be dynamited away in order to make sufficient room for the car to pass by.
 Pillsbury states that he counted 5S deer on the way to the park and that the weather was fine and the trip ideal in every respect. Not a particle of trouble was had with the Studebaker Big-SiX in crossing the streams which flowed across the road due to the melting of snow in the mountains The steep grades also were easily nego- tiated with the power which nestIes underneath the hood of the new Stude- baker model.
 The speedometer showed 236 miles at the conclusion of the run in front of the chief rangers office on the floor of the Yosemite Valley.
 Supt. Lewis, in charge of the na- tional park, as well as Chief Ranger Townsley, confirmed the arrival of Pillsburys car in a telegram to MT Biggs, notifying the Studebaker sales manager of the victory achieved.
 Although the road into the valley vio Wawona is now open and is re- ported to be in excellent condition for touring. when Pillsbury made the run it was stA in bad shape. as the gang was hard at work removing all the obstacles and filling in the ruts and building the water breaks, so as to put the road into fine shape for the spring motor travel into the famous resort.

For a refreshing little auto trip in the cool of the morning, trip that combines all the clements Of an enjoy able pleasure ride. about the best at- forded in the valley is the jaunt to "Hole-in- the Rock"
 "Hole-in- the Rock" IS easily located by all travellers and there will be no need for blue book or other road guide to make the journey. Just travel eastward on the Tempe highway. keep ing watch to the left for the "Hole-ir- the-Rock' When this freak of nature is discernable take any road branching off the Tempe highway to the left or in the direction of the destination There are many such roads on the des ert but with the Hole as guide mark and by always taking the road that leads in the general direction of the same, one can not go wrong.
 This is all the direction that is need ed for the traveller in the words Of C. c. Miller of the Roper Motor com pany who, with party of four others, made the "trip on Decoration day. MT. Miller and his friends had long wanted 10 make the trip but on this particular occasion. they had another reason for going-they wanted to put the new Maxwell model to the most severe test possible, and the steep, rocky climb up the hilly country afforded every hard ship that could he desired.
 A sparkling new Maxwell was taken, one that had not been driven a mile before the trip began. While some skepticism was expressed as 10 the ability of the new car 10 make the as- cent, Mir. Kunselman, commercial pho toSrapher and a member of the party. alone was pressimistic. He had seen many cars attempt the grade, some of hem high priced machines rated as being very powerful, and fail or need help in making the climb in the loose rock.
 The party was obviously pleased and 7 he protogra pher was astonished when the mighty little bit of mechanism known as he Maxwell successfully ne- gotiated the grade making the climb as surely and steadily as if it was tra . yelling on highway. It did not falter for a second and Miller is authority for the statement that at no time did he have more than a half-open throttle. The power was tremendous and the ear performed with beautiful precision.
 Improvements on the new model Maxwell car are so marvellous Miller states that no one. unless he has ac- tually examined the latest shipment Of cars, can realize the wonderful value that the Maxwell company is giving today. The ear has a balanced motor, extremely fine finish and starting system that is perfection in it's sim plicity and sturdiness and with an un- limited power and roaGability. The Roper company prizes the Maxwell as never before and have that satisfying confidence that every person who ex- amines it thoroughly will feel the same IS they do about it.
 Maxwell economy is well known, but improvements this year are designed to make it one of the most popular of all family cars, the Roper company as 5erts. The deep, heavy frame, long semi-ellipuc springs, upholstering and many other improvements have been added until the Roper company feel justified in calling it the greatest car of it's class ever produced

 Economy is now more than ever the WatchWord the touchstone of suc- cess in business. Wherefore it be- hooves both owner and driver to be forehanded in prevention of car de- preciation.

If a spoke is allowed to continue loose the wheel strain and wear increases rapidly, until nothing short of a gen eral overhauling, possibly an entirely new wheel, is necessary. Then the car has to go out of commission and into

 A. c. Pillsbury of San Francisco, a private owner, was at the wheel, and the trip was made via Merced, Mari posa and Wawona. According to the report of the drive made by Pilisbury to H. A.
