Much Cheaper.

The week just closed was marked by
unusually heavy shipments of eggs into
this city. with a corresponding drop IN
prices in the wholesale markets. An

the first of April. Upstate round pota-
toes sold wholesale on Friday at a gen.
eral price of $2.25 to $3.50 a barrel CT

half a pound at the terminal. Lohg

variety. sold for Sc a barrel toward
the end of the week.
Consumers are advised by the State
Department OF Farms and Markets to
avoid buying potatoes heavy with dirt or

toes which housewives should know The
potatoes averaging two inches or more

nptatoes are those which are under this
measurement and should be sold at a
lower price.

In the principal cities of this State,
parts of Connecticut and In Massa-

New Jersey virtually on Statewide
basis. Nearly all Of rural New York
will continue on the eastern standard

arranged to accommodate the suburban

Federal and State officers, employers

Labor commissioners and other of,
ficials say almost uniformly that the
humber f-idle workers has materially
decreased in the last few months and
are hopeful for the future. Some OF
the labor chiefs, including Samuel
Gompers, head Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, charge "big busi-
ness" with causing the unemployment
situation by manipulation and with re-
tarding return to general prosperity
About 100000 persons were reported
idle In the sixteen States, having a
population of 100000. from which
estimates were received. Miners AMI
others on strike were not included. Large
industrial States. such as New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,, con-
tributed more than 1000 900 to the total
New York leading with an estimated
100000 out of work.
Mr.. Gompers estimated the unem-

A reduction in wages was noted in

Chickens, for convenience, may be
classified as egg breeds, meat breeds
general-purpose breeds, and fancy OF
ornamental breeds.
The egg breeds include the small OF
medium-sized fowls which are very ac
tive. quick to mature, producers OF
white-shelled eggs, usually Mons .ers
or at best but poor sitters, and rather
poor mothers, say poultry specialist
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The varieties of Leghorns
and Minorcas are good representatives
Of this class. Because they are poor
sitters some other breed, or at least o
few other fowls, should be kept If nat
ural methods Of incubation are to be
employed. On account Of their early
maturity it is not uncommon for indi
viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay
ing at the age Of four and one-half
months. These breeds do not fatten
as readily under ordinary conditions
as the larger and less active breeds
and are rather sensitive to low tenn
perature because Of their large combs
and wattles.
The largest fowls, represented in
the meat class, are especially suitable
for the production of large roasters.

foraging, are easily confined by low

appear for alleged completely in Ku
Klux performances. Those were the
days when Blaine was wildly waving
"the bloody shirt" in the United
States senate, and, the suggestion
came that the oft mentioned garment
should become the insignia of the
goaded Democrats, or rather should
be adopted by that especial band of
them to wear at their "trial." The
idea met with appreciation, and B. R.
Tillman was one of two young men
sent to procure material for the
bloody shirts. He said they bought a
great quantity of yellow homespun,
and that the women of the vicinity
went to work Immediately to make
it into garments for the men by the
next day when tie "trial" was to
take place. Also ore huge shirt was
to be fashioned to be stretched across
a gigantic frame with arms extended,
and to be surmounted by two negro
mask faces turned back to back, then
of course facing both ways, topped by
kinky negro wig; this herculean
figure to be carried as sort of ban
ner. The shirts as soon as finished
were splotched with great red spots,
some made with paint, some with
poke berries and other crimson dyes.
That was the first uniform by any
of the South Carolina men soon to
become known as "reformers." Theirs
was the "bloody shirt" A little later
in Pendleton originated the "red
Shirt" made of flannel, which ap-
peared for the first time at a polit-
ical meeting in Anderson when the
Pendleton men marched into town
and demanded a share of time for
the Democratic candidates to speak
at the same meeting with the Re-
publicans, and also the red shirt COM
pany appeared at Hampton's first

party adopt as their official uniform
