Jobbers Want From Five
To Six Cents Profit on Egg

Last Saturdays Pr. contained
an article on the egg market
which we publish this week with a
brief comment. 1t appears the
jobbcr wants from five to six cents
per dozen for handling eggs. We
remember the days when the pro
Queer Of eggs only received six
cents per dozen for them-and
they We're large, fresh, clean eggs
at that. Isn't such IA margin for
the jobber too much? We believe
the poultry industry is destined to
become our first industry, and if
this is true, would it not be well
to plan some means, through unit
ed action, to cut out greater part
Of the selling expense, or at least
reduce it from what appears to us
to be too big a margin. What
think you, Mr.. Poultry Producer
"rhis week has shown such a
general tightening up on arrivals
of fresh ranch eggs that only
houses that regular list Of coslgn-
ing shippers have been able for
the last forty eight hours to sell
under 60 cents.
"Some of the houses began
early Friday morning to sell at
60 cents, and bullish talk flowed
freely. 1t was predicted that with
in twenty-four hours the entire
street will be quoting 60 cents
horizontally for fresh hemery
stock. Under that level only held
eggs, or Oregons, it is claimed, can
be sold at a profit at the old
price.
Interest in storage eggs is in
crcasing, and few cases Of par
affined wax Aprils have already
been drawn out of the coolers.
Jobbers take the position that
their gross margins at "a cents bid
and So cts. selling practically the
same as before the war and high
prices, are no longer healthy. The
advance to the trade Friday was
|unaccompanied by correspond
ing lift in prices to producers for
that reason, and it is believed for
the plan of the jobbers to here
after keep about 5 to cents
between the buying cost and
quotations to the trade.
"No downward tendencies Of
either butter or eggs are expected
before the end of November"

Teddy bubble had burst.
Groups OF people wandering about
in the lobby OF the Blackstone dis
cussed the situation amicably. no
one seeming to care very much for
any one individusl-they simply
wanted the best man TO win. Many
hoped that Root had a chance: he
was considered the great statesman
OF America. because OF his mastery
handling OF questions with Euro
peAn countries and because OF his
South American policy and the fnal
code OF laws drafted by him for the
Philippines. A quartette sang Bur

Sherman men marched the streets.

For the first time women were

Day Nursery Idea
Like Prize Winner.

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
have never tried this for the
reason1hat I am one OF those wom-
en- who do not have a home nor
husband to take care OF. but II
would seem to me that the woman
who has. and who does not want to
put her children in n day nursery
SO that she can 60 out into business,
may earn 4 reasonable amount by
helping those who must.
She could arrange to take care OF
one or two, or more children during
working hours, after husbands
brcakfas had been duly taken care
OF and before his return for dinner.
Her own children might even be
profited by the companionship and
the opportunity to share with others
their comforts and pleasures. She
could give them a mothers loving
care at the same time that she was
looking after her own. and the cost
OF the extra lunch for the little
guests would be very slight, SO that
whatever compensation the working
mother could give. would be her
own income. a choice of children
should be made. as it is well UNDER
stood that the very poor do not suf-
fer as much as those temporar-
lily unfortunate, and are trying TO
keep their children under good in
huences.
In making her money this way
the woman at home is at the same
time comforting a priceless service
upon less fortunate sister who
may be just as reluctant as herself
to place her children in a nursery.
