the price of eggs with a farmer who
supplies that delicacy for the patrons
of the train, If his price is right. If it
isn't, the eggs are bought farther
down the line.

by the roadside is a familiar sight. So.
too, is the fact that the chefs. dining
car stewards and porters are combined
in two girls, Mrs. Katheryn Mason,
the lady In white on the back platform,
and Miss Marelda Stanley.

munist cause, and declares members
of Congress have gone so far as to
stump the country in support of that
cause.
Secret Moves Charged.
The Communists. he asserts. have
organized secret societies throughout
the country, which are engaged in
spreading propaga nda seeking to in
cite the workers TO rebellion.
Extra ordinary activity was noted in
military circles yesterday. Two regi-
ments were recalled to Valparaiso

himself. and there was a tendency to
put Ford on one side and automobiles
