CLEAN, FRESH EGGS FOR
THE BEST MARKET PRICES

/ knew a good old conscientious
country storekeeper that had a
tricky patron and in order to keep
his trade he allowed himself to be
imposed upon and for this reason
she thought herself shrewd, and
that she was actually getting away
with the deception, but her time of
reckoning came and the old gentle
man was prepared for her and
paid her in her own coin. She made
a practice of selecting smooth
rock of from one to three pounds
and then moulding her butter over
it, and when these rolls were turned
in nothing would be said but this
roll would promptly be taken to the
back of the store, the butter slipped
from the rock into firken for
the renovator and the rock cashed
away for future reference, and up
on the day of reckoningethis col
lection of rocks were all brought
out and weighed in her presence and
presented to her, and this polite old
gentleman got his money too.
Now long for the time soon
and know there are hundreds here
that will voice the same sentiments
and we will say hasten the day
when our merchants will unite in
body and taboo this business; and
we are going to say here that the
merchant is at fault who encour-
ages this business, for the sake of
keeping this dirty egg peddlers'
trade which, of course, comes to
more than his eggs. Now, you mer-
chants join hands and wipe out this
practice. You can do it, you may
lose a little trade in the start, but
you will get that fellow that your
brother merchant offended and vice
versa. Presently your old patron
will be back to see you with clean
eggs. Do as the old gentleman did
with the rocks-pass them back
with your compliments.
The question is asked nearly ev-
cry day: How much are you get
ting for eggs? And lots of times
/ must confess / am not believed
the difference is so great, but ask
yourself why are you able to get
as much or more for one box of APP
piles than a whole barrel of eastern
apples that as three times greater?
And did you ever see quotations
like these: Fresh eggs S21.00,
store eggs $4,000. Poultry farm
eggs $3.50 to $500. There is a
reason and it is not the climate.
Now let's all pull together and
get those eggs in good shape; wash
all dirty eggs and market at least
once week and twice a week in
warm weather, and the first of May
after breeding season is over swat
that rooster. He is a menace to
your bunch and is only serviceable
during the breeding season.

HARD WHEAT
MIDDLINGS

We have just received a straight
car load of middling from Montana.
These are milled from the best
grade of Northern hard wheat, and
while they are not quite as light
colored as those from soft wheat,
they are just as rich in food val
ne. These middlings are packed in
one hundred pound sacks, and while
this car lasts we will retail them at
$2.10 per sack, or $4,000 per ton.

With the much debated problem

Her time and all her money to her

And modesty as we'll 1 do suppose.

That it would seem, in name of

Someone should pass the apples

STATES CITIZENS
ARE CALLED Upon
TO FINANCE BONDS
BONDS YIELD S PER CENT
Rumor That Bankers Have Of
fered to Loan Cities and
Towns All the Money Need
ed. Railroads Request Low
ering of Assessment of Their
Property for Taxation.

Raleigh, June 27.-(By Max Alb
ernethy) North Carolina's eight
million dollars worth of bonds will
not make a ripple on the water IN
less Tar. Heels come to the aid of
their country on July Is when bids
will be opened on July Is for the
total issue.
This is State Treasurer B. r. Lacy's
belief and he has been trying to sell
North Carolina bonds for the last
81 years. Under the provisions OF the
law the treasurer has advertised the
bonds for sale but unless somebody
gets busy and whoops it up there
will be bids 70 rless than on the two
million issue several months ago.
Then two five hundred dollar bids
were received.
The bonds are to yield five percent
and they may be bought in 500 de-
nominations-at least half a million
of this kind will be offered. Although
yielding only five percen. the bonds
wilt be free from all State taxes and
will be payable in ten years. To the
man of meager means the one hun
dred dollar bonds are considered at
tractive.
But the point is that even if all of
the one hundred dollar bonds are
subscribed for the bigger denomina-
tions must be taken if the State is
to dispose of the $S,0OO,OO0 issue.
And there does not appear to be any
bidders for North Carolina fives.
The suggestion has been made to
Treasurer Lacy that Statewide pub
licity be inaugurated to interest the
people but 1T has ended with that.
The Council of State is understood
to have thought it best not to peddle
the States bonds. The treasurer is
authority for the statement that there
is no provision for financing such
campaign. If he thought it would
result in disposing of the major por-
tion of the sight million dollar issue
Mr.. Lacy would vote to pay what it
cost, even if the bill ran into the
thousands.
Unless North Carolinians respond
more readily than ever before the en-
tire issue will pass unnoticed on July
IS
While the municipalities are busy
preparing statements of their fin
ances with which they hope to con-
vince Governor Morrison and the
Council of State of the necessity of
a special session of the Legislature,
the report is again heard at the capi-
tai that bankers have offered to loan
the cities and towns all the money

MARKETS
COTTON.

New York, June 27.-The cotton
market opened firm today at an ad-
vance of IA to % points, owing to
higher Liverpool cables, better Eng
lish labor news and reports of a
firmer tone in foreign exchange. July
notices were estimated at FL to 1000
bales or slightly below ex-
pectations and there was a good de-
mand for fully. This helped the tenor
of the early market and after selling
80 points under October at the start
July was relatively firm on covering.
That month was up to 11.35 or
81 points net higher.

er regarded as the mutterings of a
few paciists, but is seriously looked
upon as matter of dollars and cents,
and taxes.
But while both houses have been
struggling with the appropriation bill
which is after all a routine matter
no bill has been completed on the
tariff or taxation. Business men who
had hoped to know what the tax
rate would be for next year have
been disappointed. Many businesses
run their books from July 1 to July 1
of the next year. 1t had been confident
ly expected congress would at least
have brought the tax bill to the COM
mittee stage by July 1, but the bill
has not gotten that far, and nobody
in congress has an accurate idea of
just what kind of a revenue measure
will eventually be passed. Judging by
the legislative tang1es which have
arisen in handling the tariff, there
the tax bill through both houses.
Many conflicting interests have
shown a disposition to wrangle about
the tariff, but the controversies thus
far over the tariff are not a circum-
stance compared to the trouble which
is anticipated in framing new tax
bill. The chief executive alone will
be able to reconcile differences of
oninion And he will have to do it
largely by executive insistence on
compromise which would otherwise
be refused if offered by congressional
leaders In other words congress needs
executive guidance, and Mr.. Harding
has made up his mind to fill the need.
