The clients were grand dukes They bought

prefer them hard. Anyone who has
fed eggs to baby knows that they

why don't you figure how many
eggs your family should use at that
rate? Buy that many and enjoy

One important consideration to

The Check Damper should be To-

be located between the Check

DR.. Edwin Cameron, executive sec
rotary of the State Board of Health
explained the bill.
Mrs. Nell c. Westcott, manager
of the Chestertown and Centreville
branches of the State Employment
Service, reported Friday that the
farmers of the two counties are
faced with the most serious labor
problem for many years at the out
set of the spring and summer crop
ping season. Scores of laborers
are leaving the counties to take
jobs in munition plants and other
activities of the national defense
program, where a number of them
are making as high as 81 a day,
while numerous young men are be
ing called to military service
through the local draft boards. The
first to feel the scarcity of farm
labor will be the asparagus grow
ers, which heretofore depended
largely upon Polish labor from the
cities. Practically all of them have
found employment in defense in
dustries. Mrs. Westcott is holding
meetings this week in the county
towns in order to secure sufficient
applicants to take care of the local
labor problem.
