The effect that the woman that mar
kets a dozen fresh eggs each day in
the year has the equivalent of inter-
est on a $4,000 mortgage at per
cent. If eggs are worth the same in
South Dakota as in North Dakota,
we can't understand that writer's fig

fair one and figuring that two dozen
eggs a day would carry the interest
on a $4,000 loan, the proposition is
might soon become big bond holders.
