Within period of less than two
months eggs have changed from a
drug on the market to a readily
salable food. Good eggs had become
scarce the latter part of July and
the market for them was strong.
People familiar with the poultry
industry predict egg prices will be
humping the ceiling and may press
so hard against artificial price
restraints that black market activi-
ties may be encouraged. The un-
usually large price restraints that
black market activities may be en-
couraged. The unusually large hold
ings of eggs in storage could be
used to discourage black marketing.
The average wholesale price for
100 pounds of dairy feed during the
first half of 1914 in Ohio was $2.42
but was only S2.01 the first half of
1943.

share of the cost of operating and
maintaining the equipment in an
average year without contributing to
its original cost, Bluffton spokesmen
pointed out at the meeting.
Plan Ada and Jenera Arrangement
Orange township trustees, how
ever, pointed out that with some
portions of their territory nearer to
Ada and Jenera it would be more
feasible to call one of these instead
of Bluffton.
To adjust this situation it was
proposed that in event Orange town
ship accepted the proposal for pay
ment of flat annual rate for Bluff
toms fire protection, the town
should have a working arrangement
with Ada and Jenera whereby
Bluffton would pay either of these
departments for any fire runs made.
In past years the town has had
a nominal flat rate of $25 for every
call outside the corporation; however
since there was no previous agree
ment for any party to be responsible
for payment, reimbursement for such
runs often was not forthcoming.
Improvement on Present
Arrangement
1t was mutually agreed in the
conference that the town was en-
titled to payment for fire runs made
in rural areas and Bluffton council
| men speaking in support of the pro-
posed arrangement pointed out that
while the total income of 1926 would
barely cover operating costs of
making such runs, it was un-
questionably an improvement over
the previous situation in which the
municipality received nothing for
approximately half of the runs
made.
Possibility of three year contracts
was discussed and one trustee made
the statement that it was his opinion
that most farmers feel the proposed
charges were fair and reasonable.
An alternate suggestion was made
to Beaverdam on the basis of a $50
charge for each call.
If the surrounding rural areas CO.
operate with the proposed Bluffton
/ program, equipment can be purchas-
ed which will be more suited to
their needs, it was pointed out.
Talk Large Booster Tank
Pumper equipment under con-
sideration has a 400-gallon booster"
tank carrying water which would
be available as soon as the truck
arrives at the scene of the fire and
would be of inestimable aid in
situations where a plentiful supply
of water is not available. The
pumper also would carry from 1000
to 1900 feet of hose.
Mayor Howe pointed out at the
session that in addition to the
original cost of the equipment the
town pays annually more than $500
for maintenance of hose and general
upkeep.
During the past month total OF
three runs made by the department
were all out of town and in the
course of year more than half OF
the calls come from the surrounding
rural areas.
Consideration of new fire fighting
equipment has come up at this time
following reports that governmental
wartime restrictions on the purchase
of fire equipment now are being re-
laxed
Bluffton votors authorized an
$4,000 bond issue at the polls in
November 1941 to cover the cost of
a new truck-pumper, the purchase
was cancelled when the war made it
impossible to make delivery of Mack
equipment on a contract let early in
1912.

Peace Moves:
Envoy to Moscow

STOCKHOLM, March 6. CUP)-
The newspaper Morgontidningen
said Monday that former Premier
Juho K. Paasikivi of Finland will
leave for Russia within the next
few days to begin formal negotia-
tions for a separate peace.
The United Press bureau at
Helsinki, while not confirming the
Morgontidningen dispatch, reported
that the peace crisis apparently had
reached an extremely delicate
stage" with most newspapers, along
with official quarters and political
circles, suddenly refraining from
all definite comment on the situa-
ton.
Paasikivi, who negotiated the
Russian-Finnish peace in 1910, had
been expected to return here to re-
sumo talks with Nine. Alexandra
Kollontai, Soviet ambassador to
Sweden, who handed him six Soviet
conditions for an armistice last
month.
However, Morgontidningen quoted
emphatic reports fro m well-in-
formed quarters in Helsinki as say
ing that Paasikivi would travel in
stead to the east within the short
