EGGS MAY GO UP

Easter Season May Be Responsible for an In- . crease in Price. MUCH HEN FRUIT NOW. How many eggs will you need for Easter? Es-ers are scheduled to go up in price. If you want to save at least one cent a dozen on eggs you will use Easter, you will have to buy them now. There are plenty of eggs on the market just at this time and accordingly, the price on the luxurious hen fruit is much lower than it was in preceding years. The best of country eggs can be bought today for 20 cents per dozen; ten days ago they were going at 25 cents and this latter price prevailed just at this time last year and for five years preceding. "People buy eggs just the same as they do meat," said a local dealer this morning. "When the price is low they buy lots of eggs but when the figure is high they steer clear and are content to eat other things. I do not anticipate much of a raise in the price of eggs from now until Easter." But few handlers of eggs throughout this section of the country guarantee their eggs. CENTERVILLE. IND.
