COLD SENDS MARKET UP
Some Grocers Get 65 Cents for Best
Grades Dealers Blame Recent
Boycott tor Causing Cat-
rent Real Shortage.
UHICAGO. Jan. 13. (Special.) Spe
cial agents of the Department of Jus
tice today took possession of all, the
hooks, records and tiles of the Chicago
Butter and Egg- Board, and clerks are
now going over them in an effort to
learn whether there has been any
violation of an injunction issued by
Judge Landis in 1914 -preventing the
fixing of prices.
The books were ordered to be taken
by Robert W. Childs, special assistant
to the Attorney-General, in charge of
the food and coal investigations, his
fiction having been caused, it was said,
by the recent sharp increase in the
price of eggs.
Eggs took another spurt upward to
day, as the cold wave settled Itself for
a. stay and threatened to bring an egg
famine.
Opening at 46 cents; the market for
the fresh product cjpsed at 48 cents,
making the total increase in the last
three days 7 cents. This means a price
of 60 cents a dozen to the householder.
And some groceries today asked 65
cents a dozen for those of the "select"
variety.
Chicago dealers blame the recent
boycott pn eg)gs largely for the current
shortage and high prices.
"It was a boomerang for its pro
moters," said C. S. Borden, of the Chicago-
Butter, and Egg Boar "We are
TlOW ff-ftttiner th f f o r-1 u r-. f it anil r9
the December cold weather. If there
had been no boycott and the price had
not been forced down so that the Eng
lish and Canadian buyers were enabled
to take tremendous quantities of eggs
out of the country we should have
had a much evener market. It has
been shown that there really was a
serious egg Bhortage, and that that
was the reason for high prices instead
of- any cornering of the market."
It is said that there are less than
' one-third the number of eggs in stor
age in Chicago thatcould be found a
year ago. It has been predicted by
Dr. R. H. Mackenzie, president of the
Chicago Poultry Breeders' Club, that
the product will sell as high as 90 cents
a dozen before Spring.

SCOUT'S DEATH MOURNED
ANNULMENT IS SUGGESTED
Walter Jones, in Lower House, De
clares Early Agreement to Con
fer With Representatives Is
Better for County.
EUGENE, Or., Jan. J 3- (Special.)
Reconsideration of the action of the
State Senate designating Walter Grif
fin, selected by the Lane County Court
as States "Senator," as clerk of that
body is probable, according to a state
ment made today by Attorney Walter
Jones, a member of the Lane County
delegation in the lower house.
Attorney Jones, upon his return from
Salem, expressed surprise at the action
of the County Court in designating Mr.
Griffin for this pqsition.
I felt that the arrangement that
had been made, whereby the Senate had
asked the Lane County representatives
to appear before the Senate committee
on matters of interest to the com
mittees, but now that the Senate has
voted to recognize Mr. Griffin, I sup
pose they will withdraw the invitation
extended to the representatives," Mr.
Jones stated. "It seemed to mehat
the three men, there in an official
capacity, .could do more for the county
than one man wto is practically a
member o? the third house.
One of the Senators asked me about
this matter before I left Salem and he
told me he would see what could be
done. He suggested that the matter
might comg up for reconsideration. At
any rate, the appointment is at the
rate of $3 a day for clerk and not 5,
which is the payment for a stenog
rapher. Mr. Griffin is not a stenog
rapher."
Regarding a statement by Mr. Jones
that the relationship between Mr. Grir
fin, who is a hardware dealer- and the
County Commissioners is close, a
tornev L. E. Bean, a member of the
Lane County - delegation in the lower
house, said:
"Mr. Griffin has devoted a lot of
time to public matters and I venture
to sav he has expended in contribu
tions for road funds and in other public
activities, far more than the profits
on all the hardware he ever sold Lane
County."
Mr. Griffin declined to comment upon
Attorney Jones' statement further than
to say that-he had not sought the ap
pointment and had been urgea to ac
cept-it against his wishes.

This saying may be older than the dental profession itself, but it surely fits that profession better than any
other occupation I know of may it be GOOD or BAD work. Dentists are usually called doctors but nev
ertheless cannot enjoy the same privilege of BURYING THEIR MISTAKES.
Every time you open your mouth to smile you speak volumes for or against the ability of your dentist
the work speaks for itself.
