EGGS TAKE SLUMP
TO 52-CENT LEVEL
Excess of Supply Over De-
mand PreSageS Decline,

Eggs dropped again at city market
today when Saturdays price of 55
cents a dozen dropped to 50 cents. This
is a decline of seven cents in the past
five days.
Live turkeys also slumped again
with prices of 40 cents a pound for the
lesser grade. Dressed turkeys were
so cents a pound. Dealers said these
prices probably would prevail until
after Christmas.
Live chickens were 80 cents a pound.
but a decline late in the week was
anticipated. This is inverse to the
natural trend of poultry prices at this
time, it was said, since spring chick
ems are gone and hens are being kept
for laying. The situation is due to a
supply of poultry in excess of demand,
it was said.
Prices Of so cents each for rabbits
and 40 cents a pound for ducks con
tinued unchanged.
Fruits and vegetables were IN
changed in price and the only new
product to appear was Golden Glow

Ben H. Thompson Appears
Slated for Presidency,

Although efforts to knit the two Re
publican factions in the city council
will be continued, the candidacy of
Ben H. Thompson, a Republican, is
expected to have the support of the
three Democratic members of the
council, for president.
Should the two factions of Re
publicans unite, the election OF
councilman Walter w. Wise as presi-
dent is indicated. Wise has been a
member of the minority faction Of the
council composed of councilmen Lloyd
D. Claycombe, Theodore j. Bernd,
and Ira l. Bramblett.
The other two Republicans, John
E. King. president, and Thompson.
have lined up with the Democratic
cOunCilmen, Heydon w. Buchanan,
Otto Ray. and William z. Clauer. in
a faction which has controlled con-
siderable action this year
The moves for peace among Re
publcans are reported TO have come
from the minority faction, and al
though some Roadway has been made.
the attitude Of Thompson and King
still remains uncertain.

Hey! SAINT!
Look to Your Chin WhiSk-
erS on Christmas Eve
Don't Spoil the FeStivi-
ties With a Fire,

m ANITA CLAUS should omit the
- use of cotton whiskers and
IL some of the trimmings on
Christmas time, warns Jacob Riedel,
chief of fire prevention.
Although Chief Riedel is not liter.
ally throwing cold water to dampen
Christmas cheer. his motto of safety
first" prompts him to issue a few sim
pie rules for fire prevention at Christ
mas time.
The time-honored custom of candles
on the Christmas tree should be aban-
doned, the chief warns. Electric lights
should be used, and care should be
taken that the insulation is safe.
The Christmas tree should be set
firmly, and kept away from heating
and lighting fixtures which might
ignite 1t.
Metal tinsel or flake asbestos should
be used to decorate the tree instead
of cotton or other infiamable material.
Evergreen should be removed before
it is dried out.
As to the toys, Chief Riedel puts the
taboo on all those requiring alcohol,
gasoline or kerosene for operation.
In the same class. he would bar Toy
moving picture machines and the use
Of celluloid film as dangerous as
dynamite.
Fires over the entire country aver
age one a minute with an average
estimated property damage Of 81, 900,
Chief Riedel said. The increase is no.
ticed throughout the country at
Christmas time due to carelessness in
observing the holiday season.
