SOME BIG PAPER CLAP TRAP ON EGGS

Impossible for Chicago Ladies to Sell Them for 24 Cents When the Farmer Gets 30. Nix on this phoney story about Chicago ladies selling eggs, nice, fresh, wholesome eggs, right out of the nest, for 24 cents per dozen. When the story was told in Philadelphia wei stood for it, but when it comes to telling how Chicago ladies propose to do it just to show how the horrid “corner grocer” has been robbing the people, we won’t stand hitched. Country people who have had eggs to market in Rensselaer have had no difficulty in selling them for 30 and 32 cents a dozen. The merchant has been retailing them at from 30 to 35 cents. How the much abused “corner grocer” in Chicago can sell them for less than 40 cents a dozen is hard to figure out, and yet the papers have been full of a lot of slush about how the dear ladies are going to sell them at 24 cents a dozen. If some of these women, who doubtless know a lot more about pink teas than they do about hen fruit would put in a day or two in Jasper county they would gather a lot of wisdom that would cause them to have a little respect and a lot of sympathy for the “corner grocer,” who is not nearly so much of a hold-up man as some of these notoriety seeking women would have their illy informed sisters believe. * And if they were* to feed the chickens through November and keep account of the feed cost and then gather the eggs and keep account of the receipts they would see why the farmer wants 32 cents a dozen for the eggs. The average hen is ihighty stubborn during November and December and no amount of cajoling or threatening wiH cause her to lay. Not that all of us would like to buy eggs just as cheap as we can. Even some of us who have a dozen hens and -haven’t gathered an egg since the middle of October would be glad to buy them -for 24 cents a dozen, but some of us have sense enough to know that you can’t do it and treat either the hen owners or the corner grocer with the much proclaimed “square deal.” It is said that in Philadelphia a lady who was anxious for a little front page newspaper fame accomplished the feat by buying the eggs at 30 cents and selling them at 24 cents and that she lost $4,000 all for the sake of getting on the “front page.” Her generosity is commendable but her motive is questionable and it wouldn’t taka long to put her on the rock pile unless she owned a gold mine. Eggs are eggs and

humans are humans and the seller is going to get all he can out of his product without regard to the needs or wishes of the consumer. There is an egg steal, however, that should be broken up, and that is the buying of eggs in the spring of the year and placing them in cold storage and then selling them "at fabulous prices when the shortage comes. The government is looking into this matter as well as into the storage of butter and should take effectual steps toobreak up the practice of unreasonable profits. But Chicago women with the cheap egg bug should go back to their fancy bazaars and let the cor-| ner grocer have a night’s sleep. Woman loves a clear, Tosy complexion.
