Dligent search through Birmingham and vicinity has been instituted, but so far no strike or threat of strike on the part of the hens who do the work in the egg factories has been uncovered, all though eggs range from s5 to s2 cents per dozen retail. and are selling on Nor ris avenue for 72 cents wholesale.
 Twenty-three cents per dozen profit on the eggs sold at the top price. How come so high?" was the first question asked, evoking the stereotyped answer.

LOCAL PASTORS ID
 VISIT M0OSEHARI

 The purpose of this visit is to inspect the home with the intention of putting forth their efforts to secure the location of the home for aged Moose in Birming- ham.
 Several of the civic organizations and clubs of this city are behind the move- ment to have this home, which will cost l $1, ,O00, ,0O0 erected in Birmingham The organization promises that within three years after the home of aged Moose is built an additional home for orphan children will also be erected if this city 1 is selected as the site for this institu- tion.
 In addition to Birmingham, Memphis, Atlanta, Jacksonville and other southern
 cities are after this home, which will
 mean the investment of several millions of dollars during the next few years No donations are asked, and none are accepted by the Moose for the erection of this home. According to the plan. there will be number of small houses where several aged Moose may live to- gether or a member of the order and his wife may occupy one small house. The colony plan was thought to be the | best for this reason.

Eighty Gents q Dozen
 For Eggs In the, City

law of supply and demand Fifty cents was the top market price in Birmng- ham in the dead of winter not so many years ago.
 And those hens tor whoever is respon- sibe for the trouble) have the temerity to demand 95 cents per dozen for the GEES in the very teeth of falling prices, wages and lengthening bread lines.
 Starve the hens into submission. Estab- fish a boycott against profiteering hens. That will be the battle cry of soldiers fighting for the new freedom from the tyranny of the avarice of the poultry. Just think, for one eggs, and most hungry husbands eat at least two every morning, friend wife must pay from 6 5-6 to 11-l2 cents That makes a minor part of the breakfast cost not less than 13 2-3 cents per morning, a total of s4.10 for just the egg item at breakfast every morning for just one month. If any member of the family beside the head of the house eat eggs for breakfast. the result is terrifying, Nothing but millionaire could afford such extrava gance.

Every blast furnace must 20 through that process from time to time.
 GOING STRONG
 The Sloss-Sheffield company continues to operate four furnaces, one at Florence and three in Birmingham
 Neither of these two large concerns has diminished furnace operations. the one has increased it's active list by one stack.
 Increase of blast furnace operations by the T. c. l. points to continuation of normal operations in the steel mills. the major portion of the product, that of the big stacks on basic, being for con version into steel in the company's con. verting and finishing mills.
