TO Be CHEAPER
EGGS THIS YEAR PROMISE
TO REMAIN HIGH
Dairy Foods 6aid To Be On Same
Basis As Some Other
Commodities

Chicago, November 26-ICorrespon-
dence of The Associated Press1-
Butter is and will probably continue
considerably chearer this year than
last, while eggs are higher aad will
probably continue higher, according
to ]. 8. Brown, Chicago representa-
tive of the United States Bureau OF
markets in charge Of dairy products.
This contrasting situation, Mr..
Brown attributed to a surplus OF
butter, due chiefly to lack Of export
trade, and q heavy import trade In
butter, and on the other hand to an
actual shortage of eggs due to small
production.
1.-THE situation In butter and eggs
ferent than It Ii in other food COM
modities. because Of the fact that
the public is now dependent for ade-
Quate supply on stocks put away in
storage months ago when prices
were all high" the agricultural Of :
fetal said. present prices are there
fore on. that basis.
Butter supply Liberal
There is very liberal supply Of
storage butter in the country. There
Is more ON hand now than year ago
at this time. 1t Is being taken out
of cold storage and used, but It is not
going out as rapidly as last year.
Export business in butter was good
In 1919 but 1t is poor this year, and
in addition butter is being received
from New Zealand, Denmark and
Argentina Receipts of Danish but
ter have already made a heavy
showing.
Fresh butter is selling at prices
ten cents under last year and stor-
age butter is now losing its holders
money. If its price continues to de-
cline they face the possibility of a
serious loss. 0
With eggs the situation is differ
ent. There was a shortage right
through the producing season. Stor-
age eggs were put away at high
prices and are going out fast. This
may leave a shortage later on. Eggs
are the one thing in the food line
that is likely to stay high, until Feb
ruary when eggs usually drop be-
cause Of new receirts".

Jimmy May Have Been
Out Again Last Night
VALUE STORE IS VISITED
Pesky Burglar Gained An En-.
trance To Place Via the
Coal Chute

4 Has Jimmy. who raised windows
and pried open doors In the business
part OF the city for the past two
weeks, abanded the Jimmy for the
hatchet?.
That 10 the question now In the minds
Of the local police. who are today in
vestigating the robbery Of the Value
Store on the corner Of Jackson and
Front streets, which was robbed last
night Of $500 in cash. Otto Dsthloff,
assistant manager OF the Value Store.
stated to The Free Press this morn
ing that he was in the store at $50
last evening and then everything was
all right. This morning when the store
was opened 1t was found that some
one had tampered with a desk in Man.
ager O'Brien's Office In to the rear OF
the store on the first floor. Invesu-
CATION showed that the right hand
upper drawer of a roll top desk in
which 5000 had been placed Wed
nesday night, had been pried open
with o hatchet blade, which was not
mounted on handle, and the cash
taken.
Down the Coal Chute.
A search in the basement Of the
store showed that the thief gained
entrance to the building by sliding
down the coal chute from the Jack
son street side OF the building. The
unmounted hatchet head was lying
on a work bench in the basement of
the store, and was evidently picked
UP by the thief with which to Dry
open the desk drawer. The lack of
finger prints on the hatchet blade
leads to the belief that the thief
wore gloves in handling the blade.
Assistant Manager Dethloff stated
this morning that the thief made no
attempt to meddle with two cash
registers In the store, each of which
contained certain amount OF
money The thief made his exit
from the store by unbolting a double
door on the rear end Of the store on
the Jackson side.
The police are led to believe that
the thief Is some one familiar with
the store, for the placing of that
much money In an ordinary roll tor
desk is an unusual thing, and q
STANCE thief would not think Of look
ing there.

Louise e Schultz OF the state labor
department appeared before the coun-
Gil meeting and stated that she had
spent several Gays In this city investi-
eating child labor. At the theatres the
other night she interviewed fifteen
little newsboys, some of whom were
but seven years of age. These lads
were out on the streets after the Cur
few hour, and she thought that they
had better be at home instead Of
working at that late hour. AS far as
the money they earn Is concerned,
she said, most of It goes for the pur-
chase Of candy and ice cream and the
parents receive but little benefit from
the work done by the boys. While
there is no state law to prevent small
boys from being out that late at night,
from child welfare r'oint of view
Miss Schultz said that a movement
should be started here to prevent
boys under twelve years of age from

Wss Not Ready To Make
Any Repsrt

fair that was exrected. Members Of
the council had expected that the
council chambers would be taxed TO
their capacity to accommodate those
who would appear to talk on the IN

the question Of lighting rates had been
referred, and who was to have made
report last night asked another
weeks time to consider the matter be-
fore reporting. This extension OF time
was granted.

to object to the extention, and thought
that the matter should be discussed

not, for the reason that the proposed
change In rates is to take place
December 1. City Attorney William
F. Hughes, replying to Councilman
Hammett, said that the city has no
protection under the existing con-
tract with the Northern States Power
comEany to prevent the rates from
going into effect.
Councilman Hammett thought that
it would be well to hear from those
in the audience on the gas and cleo
trio light question. All Of the gentle
men called uron said that they did
not come to the meeting to talk, but
wanted to listen to any statements the
conctl might have to make on the
question.
Mayor e. v. Waters said that some
correspondence had taken place be-
tween this city and other cities who
also have the question of gas and
electric rates up before them. Outside
no other information to offer
Rates In Other Cities.
