EGGS FOR EASTER
AT LOWEST PRICE
In RECENT YEARS
Housewives Laying in Extra
Supplies as Market Breaks
Badly
Farmers Threaten to Sell Fl0cks
and Let Consumer do
Without

Easter season this year finds the
egg market demoralized with prices
lowest in recent years. Housewives
who are laying in an extra supply
of eggs for the Easter week end
are gratified by the recent drop of
ten cents a dozen in market price.
Farmers on the other hand are
aroused by the sudden break in the
market and threaten to sell their
f1ocks and let the town consumer
do without eggs and poultry next
fall and winter.
Farmers were receiving Wednes-
day for run of the nest eggs % cents
dozen while retail prices for Grade
B eggs are quoted at 29c dozen.
This compares with 40 cents a
dozen, which was the retail price
last year. Altho living costs have
generally advanced, egg prices have
been going contrary to the general
trend, showing drop of rs per cent
from last years figure.
Price Comparable to Depression
Farmers point out that the present
price which they are receiving for
eggs is comparable to prices at the
depth of the depression in 1882 when
they received cents a dozen for
eggs. At that time feed was cor
respondingly cheap while at the
present time feed is at unusually
high levels.
Hatcheries report that purchase of
baby chicks has been sharply cur
tailed as farmers threaten to reduce
their flocks to fill only the needs of
their own families. Some indication
that this actually is taking place is
seen in poultry coming on the
market in increased volume.
Farmer Hard Hit
The VIA explained that there is
q support price paid egg shippers
but it does not reach the hard-hit
farmer. The government also

HOT MIX TOP FOR
MAIN STREET GETS
COUNCIL APPROVAL
Resolution of Consent and CO.
operation is Adopted
Monday Night
Towns Share of Cost, $4,000.
to be Ready When Work
is Started

| Bluffton's town council gave the
state highway department the green
| light to proceed with plans for the
resurfacing of Main street this sum
mer when it adopted resolution of
consent and cooperation at its meet
ing Monday night.
The resolution was adopted follow
ing conference in the council cham
Der with Engineer Farney represent
ing o. c. Kohl, division superintend-
ent of the state highway department
with headquarters at Lima.
The council in connection with
adoption of the resolution also
agreed to provide $4,000 toward de-
fraying cost of the improvement
which is estimated at $4,000.
Mile and Half Stretch
The Bluffton sector of the improve
ment will extend from Bentley road
north to the Allen-Hancock county
line, distance of one and one-half
miles.
This, however, is only part of a
highway resurfacing project which
will extend on north from the county
line to the intersection of the Dixie
highway and State Route 90 near
Mt. Cory.
Under the state highway depart
ment's proposal a one and three
quarter inch asphalt hot mix surface
will be placed on this stretch of road.
Plan Sale of Road
With the council on record as
favoring the project, plans will be
started for preparation of engineers
specifications and estimates looking
toward letting contract for the work,
probably early this summer.
The council has agreed to have the
sum of $1,000, the towns portion Of
the cost of construction, ready when
the work started. How this sum
is to be provided has not been decid-
ed. However sentiment in the coun-
Gil appears to favor bond issue or

the ten mill limitation which would

Talk Improvement Since 1899
Resurfacing of the street first
was urged by the Bluffton viii
lage administration in 1889, but
failed to clear through the red tape
of the highway department before,
| the outbreak of the war.
After beginning of the war Ohio's
| highway program was drastically
| curtailed and there was no further
action until January of this year
when it was indicated unofficially
that the project might be completed
| this year.
Main street is part of the Dixie
highway, U. S. route 25, key north
south war highway, and is called on
to bear a large volume of heavy
| truck traffic.
| Much of asphalt binder holding
bricks in place has eroded since the
pavement was constructed IL years
ago. This results in loose broken
bricks which permits water to seep
through to the underlying concrete
base.
In addition to alleviating this
condition, resurfacing of the street
would eliminate traffic hazard re-
presented by steel rails of the
abandoned Western Ohio interurban
line in the center of the thorough
fare.
Main streets present brick pave
ment was built in 1927 at cost
upwards of 100000. 1t consists Of
six-inch concrete foundation, one
inch sand cushion and three-inch
brick top held in place with asphalt
binder.

Poultry buyers also blamed the
ceiling put on broilers and other
poultry for discouraging the farmer
from replenishing his fiocks, and
also for encouraging poultry black
markets.

Cocktails For The Axis

Every time an S-inch hOwitZeT barks a gallon of war alcohol is consumed. Every two shots from a 155 millimeter howitzer, aimed and fired in the direction of our en- emies, require a gallon of war al- cohol in the gun powder. And the 3-inch anti-aircraft gun needs a gallon of this same precious war alcohol for every four shots. But we are used to bigger figures nova days. and here they are:
 American beverage distillers pro- duced in 1943 about 230,0O0,00O gallons of alcohol for war purposes. And since about a quarter of pound of alcohol is used in making a pound of smokeless powder, sim ple arithmetic informs us that this amount is sufficient to make ap- proximately three billion two hun dred eighty-five million pounds of smokeless powder.
 To make one 16 500 tire of synthetic rubber, 5 F gallons of al cohol are required So the amount of alcohol the beverage distilleries produced in 1943 could make more than 41,0OO,O0O synthetic rubber tires.
 Now you will understand why the Distilling Industry discontinued making beverages when the emerg- ency arose, and is now wholeheart- edly devoting all of it's distilling facilities 24 hours a day, days a week to hasten the day when We can resume our normal peace time pursuits.
 How fortunate the nation is that this industry was on hand, because of Repeal. so that it's facilities could be converted, literally over night, to making alcohol for war purposes. Had the present world catastrophe occurred during theI late, lamentable prohibition per iod, the plaintiye cry of "too lit tie and too late'' would have been plainly audible over the length and breadth of our country.
 So please, if you cannot get your fayoFite product just when you want it or as often as you would like it. remember that not a drop of whiskey has been made by any leg al American distillcry since last October.
 We have triei our best to dis tribute our stocks-made in peace time-equitably to our distributors; they have tried their best to do likewise to their trade-the retail CTS COCKTAILS" FOR THE AXIS COME FIRST THESE DAYS-AND NO RATIoNING.
 So, make what you DO get last longer, and please remember it was made in PEACETIME And no com promise has been made with quail ity. QUALITATIVELY, the product of A good distillery is the same. QUANTITATIVELY, it is less. A much simpler way of saying this is: it's just as good, but there isn't so much of if. Greater appreciation always - when it's hard to get AGREE?
