Dec. 6, —Eggs of an ancient variety, but labeled‘‘cold storage eggs” are being sold in northern Indiana, according to an investigation being made here and in surrounding cities and towns. It also develops that the law requiring the handling of eggs by retailers is not being obeyed to the letter. In many instances it has been brought out that the farmer has wrongly been given the blame for spoiled eggs, sold to consumers and retailers, while the real fault lies with the cold storage houses that keep them for a rising price long after they should have been placed on sale. Kosciusko county has stood well in the lead of all Indiana counties in the production of poultry and eggs, sold East year that county had an average of 220,000 laying hens. The egg production in Kosciusko county was more than 1,000,000 dozen, but consumers there are complaining that because of the operations of outside buyers and cold storage houses they are compelled to pay New York and Chicago prices for eggs, regardless of the fact that outside buyers procure eggs in Kosciusko county at a much lower price.

BERNE NEWS Miss Martha Hossman, nurse at the Decatur hospital, is spending a few days with her mother, Mrs. Marie Hossman. The County Meetings which were held here yesterday, were well attended and addresses were interesting. The large audiences who heard Dr. Landith were well pleased. Special music was furnished by the various societies of the county. A vocal duet and a piano solo by representatives of Decatur and a selection by a male chorus from Berne, were special numbers for the afternoon. In the evening both the Reformed and Menonite societies of this place rendered special music. A liberal collection was raised after the evening service. Officers for the county organization for the ensuing year were elected and are: C. H. Sprunger, Berne, president; Miss Mutschler, Decatur, vice president, and Miss Marie Hilly, Berne, secretary and treasurer. These officers will later complete the executive committee. Burglars entered the home of John Martz last night and helped themselves to $35 while Mr. and Mrs. Martz were asleep. It is thought that the burglars used chloroform. Emanuel Liechty heirs sold their 80 acre farm to Sam Nussbaum, who will divide same into smaller plots and sell these individually. The board of education has an option for a piece of the land and have the first choice for a tract not over eighty acres in area. The board will undoubtedly buy a piece of land in the southeast section of the farm and hold the same for a site for a new school building within the next few years. Mr. Nussbaum intends to lay out a number of building lots all along the front of Main street and also along the road, going north of the Menonite church. These will make Ideal sites for homes and would help mprove the town. The current was off at Berne.

Sir Walter Raleigh Had A Bright Idea You remember the episode of the rainy day when he threw his cloak into a puddle that the good queen might cross without getting wet feet and perhaps the flu. That was advertising. Sir Walter had a message of import to her majesty. He wanted a hearing. He got it—by a courteous and ingenious method of attracting favorable attention. It was another case of advertising that paid both ways. Business today is metaphorically throwing its cloak before you. It seeks your favorable attention. It uses its most effective method of capturing it—advertising. Day after day it caters to your tastes, and your desires through advertising. The men who advertise in this paper believe that if they succeed in getting their messages across to you, you will often be interested and sometimes inspired with a little of their own enthusiasm for their wares. Advertising will help you. Whether you realize it or not, advertising is a big vital force in your life. Through it, American genius and American manufacturers are putting within your reach the many boons of modern life. Advertising keeps your information up to date on every article of human need, whether food, clothing, articles of household utility, necessities or luxuries. Advertisers deserve your support.
