 At Selling Prices of Eggs

New York. Feb. 6.-Victin1s of the high cost oi living were given cause for revengeful chuckling today when market reports showed that eggs, re- gently put in cold storage at 80 cents a dozen were. being thrown on the market at prices ranging downward from -45 to Il cents. wholesale.
 In many places today they were being retailed at 50 cents and the slump was reported to have affected the fresh egg market bringing prices down s cents since last Friday.
 The decrease in cold storage egs prices was explained as being due to the fact that the expected European demand for eggs did not full develop

HARTFORD COUNTY
 LEADS DONATIONS
Big Amount Already Subscribed
 by Congregational Churches

In the first week of September of last year, Il team of campaisners, under the direction of the Rev. Will Han, $. Beard, set out to secure from the people of the Congregational churches of Connecticut, $66O,000 in cash and pledges. as Connecticuts share of the national Pilgrims Me- mortal fund. By the end of the third week in December the whole state. with the exception of a few scatter ing churches. had been covered. Financial returns were still very in complete but it was evident at that time that the S660,000, set as the goal had been tremendously over subscribed. Practically all of the churches unreached had been can vassed by the end of the third week in January and it was found on total ing the returns that the quota of $66o.000 had been almost doubled. On January 27th the total figure was s1,242,70o. It is on that total that the following returns by districts are based. Since then scattering con- tributions have been received, raising the grand total at the end of Jan uary to $1,246,975.
 It will be recalled that there was during the campaign 8 single gift of $100, coo, from a citizen of New Lon don. There had been previous to that time a gift of S50.00O from Wal ter E. Lashar of Bridgeport, made With the provisal that if there were two other gifts of S10o.o00 each. Mir. Lashar would double his $50,000. So far his offer has not been taken up, but Dean Beard, who is now conduct ing a similar campaign in the Pacific Northwest district, expresses in a letter, which he has just sent out to all the Congregational ministers of Connecticut, the hope that even yet there may be q second gift of S100,- GOO. As it appears from the figures that Connecticut has come within s73,025 Of doubling it's quota. such 0 gift would carry it triumphantly lover the top" and give Connecticut record hardly to. be surpassed by any other state in the Union

the hind wheels came IN contact
with the rail it skidded throwing

Death of Fred DeBolt

Fred DeBolt, formerly of Julia

Dissolved Road Injunction

An order was issued in the dis
trict court by Judge Steele dissolv-
ing the injunction filed against the
county treasurer and the commits
sioners of Good Road District No.
l, on Cedar Creek Ridge. The in
junction was filed some time ago by
Frank Sladoski, l. T. Kimberly and
others. to prevent the spending of
any more money on the roads in the
district. The injunction was filed on
the grounds that clauses IN the good
road district law are unconstitu-
tional.
An appeal was made from the de-
cision of Judge Steele and the case
will be tried before the supreme
court of the state on February 10.
Judge Steele is seldom reversed in
his decisions so the chances are that
the injunction will stand dissolved.
The filing of this injunction is one
of the obstacles that the progress
sive people of Cedar Creek Ridge
have had to contend with. If in.
function suits and such measures
are used too frequently IN that com
munity to retard road building
there will unquestionabIy be &
slump in land values.

The Flu Situation

From reports received from all
over the country the flu is as much
of a menace now as it was at any
time last winter. Many deaths
have occurred all over the country
and the epidmic seems to be present
IN almost every community. A re-
port from a reliable source stated
there were eight deaths in Lewiston
Tuesday. 1t is also reported there
are $50 cases in Charleston and 800
in Moscow.
Kendrick has had few light
cases but the number may be IN
creased at any time as the disease
spreads so rapidly: Cases in six
families have been reported up to
late Thursday afternoon. This is
exclusive of three or four cases that
have recovered.
The ridges tributary to Kendrick
have reported number of cases
few of which were quite severe.
At an unofficial meeting of the
members of the Village council II
was decided not to put a Dan or

officers requested that all public
meetings be dispensed with where
ever possible. No dances will be
allowed under any consideration.

Big Road Project

The following article prepared by
the bureau Of highways at Boise
shows what is being done in the
southern part of the state in the
way of road building:
The Department of Public Works
will award contracts for forty eight
miles Of the Idaho Pacific Highway
on January 31st, 1920. All this
work is in Elmore County, running
from Mountain Home to the Good
ing County line. Forty miles will
be surfaced with gravel, and the
rest will be surfaced with crushed
rock.
When this work is completed
there will be a graded and we'll con-

Plymouth, Payette County, to

distance Of over 300 miles. A re-

Successful Revival Meetings

The three, weeks revival meet
ings in the Methodist church came
to a close last Sunday evening.
Considering the number Of. decisions
that seem to have been made, and
the large class received into the
church membership last Sunday
morning, it may be considered a
fairly successful revival effort. A
inner bunch of young folks than
those that stood in a row in front, of
the altar to answer the deciplinary
questions admitting them into
membership in the church of God,
1t would be hard to find.
The possibilities for Christian
service in the future can scarcely
be imagined nor overestimated.
Christian leaders everywhere ac-
knowledge the fact that the church
of Christ is the only institution
that can save the world from an
archy and chaos; and the Methodist
Episcopal Church has set for it's
goal the winning of million souls
to Christ this. year. Kendrick has
done its share thus far. Let others
decide for Christ and His church.
Now for real Christian piety in
the homes of the people and'a high
er standard of Christian living in
the community to help to make this
town safer place in which to bring
up the young. The temptations
and snares for young people of to-
day are many and subtle.
If any of the Children of this

lest he put a stumbling block IN the

that he were drowned in the depth
of the sea, than that he should
