While there are 27O million dozen

of frozen eggs available, people of the
Valley pay from so to 60 cents doz-
en- for eggs, and wonder why hens
are so little inclined to lay
Eggs are at their peak price now.
Although they never drop far below
this price, and always bring a good
quotation in the Valley. it is seldom
that an egg sells for IS much as four
or five cents on the local market, and
hens are bringing much criticism on
themselves in the present crisis in the
egg deal.
Eggs have been travelling upward
in price for the past few weeks, and
only recently reached what is consid-
cred the peak. Either hens must
start producing eggs at more rapid
rate, or the consumer will stop con-
suming eggs at the present rate. This
is the verdict-the outcome is unde-
cided. The report Of the bureau Of
agricultural economics, released re-

GERMANY SEEKS
SECURITY PACT
Note to France Indicates
Desire to Arrive at
Terms of Treaty
(By the Associated Press

PARIS, July 21.-The principal sig
nificance of the German security note,
French officials said today, is it's dem
onstration of desire to continue ne
gotiations for a Western European Sc
curity pact.
This statements was made after a
more careful reading of the document
which was delivered by Germany to the
British and French foreign offices yes
terday.
French officials added, after thor
ough perusal Of the note, that it replied
so vaguely to some of the special points
made by M. BRAND that further light
will be required before the real inten-
tiols Of the reich government are un-
derstood.'
In French circles it is said the note
shows the German government is not
ready to undertake the obligations of
membership in the league of nations un-
less a general disarmament or arma-
ment reduction movement brings Ger
many's European neighbors to an equal
ity Of military strength with Germany.
German Ambassador Won Roesch in
presenting the note to M. BRAND yester-
day made excuses for it's vagueness.
He explained it was compromise

the German cabinet had to be consid-

But apparently eggs are not ship
ped in here in sufficient quantities
to supply the need.
One local merchant explains the
shortage in eggs, and the resulting
high price, by the statement that the
formers are selling their surplus to
the cotton pickers. This merchant
ordered ten cases of eggs from each
of two men who had been supplying
him regularly. He received two cases.
Another merchant states that there
are not enough Valley people raising
poultry He cites the price and the
ease Of raising chickens here as rea-
sons why this industry should be en-
gagged in by more persons.
Whatever the reason, eggs are a
scarce object, and the price is such
as. to throw a chill into the heart of
those who must pay.

Missouri Rate Hike
Held Unreasonable
fRv The Associated Press !

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-Pro-
posed increases in railroad rates be-
tween Southern Missouri on one hand
and points in Northern Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Arkansas
on the other, which were postponed last
October pending investigation, were
held unreasonable today by the inter-
state commerce commission.
At the same time the commission au.
thorized the railroad to modify existing
schedules governing traffic under con-
sideration.
The changes which the railroads pro-
posed to make were held necessary
partly in order to allow more circuitous
lines to meet competition by equalling
rates of shorter lines. The commission
laid down a basis for new rates out of
Southern Missouri which it decided
would allow the railroads serving that
territory to meet their purpose.

lots besides the site Of the building.
This option, he said, is good for thirty
