Farmers Are Advertising.

Farmers and others who offer their

The Mine Mules.


~ the hard coal mines quickly after
next Tuesday IL will mean that the
operators expect a long strike. II
the mules, on the other hand. are
kept below ground the prospect will
he. OF a short strike. perhaps three
or four weeks. These mine mules
are regarded in the anthracite region
as industrial barometArs. When they
so M look for a long hard storm.
When they stay down look for peace.
For these mules are kept below
ground throu ghout the period OF
mining. When there il protracted
peace i'm the hard coal section these
mules may stay underground for
years without ever seeing daylight.
When Al time Of protracted sus-
pension of work they are brought to
the surface they are dazed and CON
fused. Down In the mines they are.
as far as can be ascertained. perfectly
happy. They have comfortable sta
bles. short shifts Of work and not
particularly hard tasks. Their job
is to haul the small cars of coal on
the level to the shafts. In some mines
they haul to the end of the slopes,
up which the cars are pulled by
cable. The mules are not orsa nized
and never strike.
So, when the miners walk out Of
the mines tomorrow night under Or
der from union headquarters the mules
will stay behind. together with the
punpmen and caretakers who are
to keep the mines in order for re-
sumption OF work. Nobody really
know. how long the strike will last

guess at the duration of strike ii

has been mined in advance Of the
strike and accumulated in reserve
piles. Again. there is factor of
strike endurance In the state OF the
retail food supply market in the an
thracite region. When the retail deal.
ers there enjoy the usual credits from
wholesalers they can stand the strain
OF a protracted period Of selling on
credit to the miners. If. as happened
some years ago on the eve Of
threatened strike, the wholesalers re-
fuse credits to the hard coal region
retailers the latter pass the word to
the miners that they will not do busi.
ness ION tick II strike occurs. This
has been known to prevent striking.
In the anthracite field, which is
fully organized, striking miners do
not go to other places OF employment,
as rule, but remain on the ground
awaiting resumption OF work. They
are specialists in hard coal mining
and find 1t difficult To get jobs else
where. Few of them have saved anv-
thing against the rainy day" of a
strike and most of them are de-
pendent entirely upon the doIes from
the strike fund. The caretakers and
the pumpmen and the mules alone
are in luck. The miners and the peo-
pie who have to buy coal to keep
their houses warm and to cook their
food, and who must pay the price of
every wage increase and every strike.
are out OF luck. For the miners.
however. the public feels but little
sympathy. for the strike Is their own
action, through their organization
representatives. The consumers are
not organized and they are therefore
less lucky than the mules.

PRICE OF EGGS
TAKESATUMBLE
Such a Violent FluctuatiOn as
Last Weeks Never known
Here Before
ONCE AS LOW AS 20 CTS

The price of eggs took a vio-
lent tumble last week. Always
it falls as spring begins, but this
flop was more sudden than any
that ever happened before.
Week before last you had to
pay around 65 cents a dozen,
and in some cases even higher.
Last week you could buy at 35
or 40c. One Chatham county
farmer who went to Durham
with a truckload of eggs last
Saturday failed to get rid of
them and had several dozen left
when. he came back through
Chapel Hill. He wanted to sell
out before he returned home,
and so he offered to sell at 20
cents a dozen. This is the lowest
offer known to have been made.
About a week ago the mana
ger of Swain Hall brought sew
eral crates at AZ cents a dozen
and thought he was getting a
great bargain. The next day he
bought for 40 cents, and this
week has had to pay only 80.
Of course a big establishment
like Swain Hall, buying in large
quantities, can buy more cheap
ly than the householder.
Most of the eggs that have
been sold in Chapel Hill at low
prices have been brought in
from outside Orange county
Chatham is great egg-produc-
ing county, and much of the
supply has come from there
The market reports from other
places in North Carolina, for
last week, showed that the price
of eggs was exceptionally low
here. 1t is said that the farm
ers for miles around, knowing
that the presence of $500 or
more University students Great
es a brisk demand, converge up
n Chapel Hill when they have
a surplus of eggs.

Offer to Henderson
Oklahoma Wants Him to Be President
of its University

The trustees of the Univer-

dent.
The offer has not yet been
formally rendered, but a major
ity of the members of the board
have made it known that they
intend to support the North
Carolinian for the post. He de-
livered a series of lectures in
Oklahoma this month, and with
in a day or two after his return
here the news of his impending
election was published.
Mr.. Henderson is not making
any statement as to his inten-
tions until the offer is presented
to him officially, but because
the people in Oklahoma are
talking as if the matter were all
settled, and because a represen-
tative of the trustees is expect
ed to be in Chapel Hill soon to
confer with him, it is feared by
his friends here that an under
standing has been reached.

SEWER WORK IS
TO START SOON
Preliminary Report Is In, and
Final Plans Are Expected
Before Long


The board of aldermen have
received a tentative report from
w. C. Olsen, the municipal en-
gineering specialist of Raleigh
who was retained last year to
design a sewer system for Chap
el Hill.
He will send in his final re-
port, it is expected, within a few
days, and Town Manager Knox
hopes that actual construction
will begin before the spring is
far advanced.
One of the jobs that is being
hurried is the making of plans
for sewers leading from the
homes of J. F. Royster, Archi-
bald Henderson, DR.. MacNider
and other residents along the
north side of Franklin street
at the east end of the village.
From these homes there will
be pipe leading down the
ravine to a junction with Bolin
creek. Eventually there is to be
"a pipe line down along the creek,
and the pipe that goes down the
ravine will empty into this.
One of the troublesome prob
lens has been to determine how
to dispose of the sewage from
the residential district out on
the Pittsboro highway. The
ground out there lies too low to
permit natural flow of sew
age into the town pipes. The
solution seems to be a pumping
i station at which the sewage will
be lifted into the pipes. This is
a method that is approved by
leading engineers, and the ex-
pense is not prohibitive.
