Weather Effects

as has not been since the mild winter of 1877
y 49, according to the memories of pioneers through
out this part of the state. This abnormal weather
condition worked several results, affecting the market
price eggs, diminishing the coal dealers incomes
reducing employment for men usually occupied with
clearing off highways and Streets decreasing the
cost OF living, lessenng the burden of taxation due
absence of snow roads and Streets saving farmers
money on feeds, and causing the merchandising of
articles ahead of the regular season.
Farmers have complained of the current market
prices on eggs for instance. There is doubt but
what weather influential in causing the hens to
lay about six weeks earlier than usual Naturally
with bigger supply of eggs the market at this
time than ordinarily, the market reacted in down
ward swing While the farmer has not received as
high price for dozen eggs formerly fuctuatng
between ten cents low and fifteen cents high, the
farmer has had more eggs to sell than in previous
years. Furthermore, with abundance of sunshine
and without the ground poultry have scratch
ed enough feed to reduce feeding COSTS The farmer
therefore is not having tough break as it is pic
tured, and meanwhile, the low price on eggs have
benefited thousands of consumers, and reduced living
expenses this item of food.

~ RESIDENT HOOVER in radio speech said in
effect that government is as good as it's ctiz-
ens." Implication of this statement is that re-
sponsbility lies with the people in selecting officials
who must handle the business of governing them.
Inherently, good democratic government is the re-
suit of good citizens To attain good government we
must first possess citizens with character. Respon-
sbilty of the development of character then rests
with parents and teachers Environment is contri-

While good citizens have elected unscrupulous
men to public Offices, if they in the majority the
better citzenry quick to oust them. Perchance
that they in the minority the fight for good gov
| ernment is StubbOrnlv long
Shifting The Gears
| If big BilP' Thompson is as unpopular in Chica-
elsewhere there should be upward trend in the
market on eggs, at least during his mayorality cam
paign.
In California there is talk of throwing eggs at
each other to diminish the supply thus increase the
demand, causing upward trend in prices Plenty of
demand for eggs among people to poor afford even
15c for dozen eggs Why not feed the hunger strick

Good poetry in the horse-and- buggy days: for

her sweetness upon some schooroom air.

Before complaining that other writer's steal ones
stuff it is just well to wait until the real author has
been forgotten.
Two Arkansas men who killed each other as the
result OF an argument passage of scripture
have probably gotten it straight by now.
Many who are rather proud of being considered
would resent the suggestion that it is bone
