While a large number of men were given short time employment in Marlon county at no time did the work provided hit anywhere near to the quota of men who had registered, registrations going be yond the 1,000 mark. DEATH IS ALLY Washington, (Pi Death was rep resented Saturday as a friend of the democrats In congress all be cause the republicans nave been in power so long. A widely-known student of con gressional mortality. Dr. Arthur MacDonald, of Washington, said the democrats have the best chance to organize the next congress. All death has to do Is to continue cut ting down senators and represen tatives at the same rate as In the past ten years. Dr. MacDonald added that from the republican point of view an early extra session will be more ad vantageous. "Relatively," MacDonald said, "the mortality of republicans is dis tinctly greater than that of demo crats. The republicans have been In power much longer than the de mocrats in recent times, they are therefore older and naturally more deaths occur among them." Figures of the retired Phvs c an showed the ratio of republican mortality in the hotce over the de mocratic was 4 to 3 8. taking the lo-year average. In the senate, the ratio was 7 to 3. Dr. MacDonald Is Internationally known as an alienist, physician and writer on medical, statistical and sociological subjects.

LOCAL PRICES FOR EGGS DROP TO NEW MARK Local egg values reached their lowest level in years, when whole' sale buyers offered cents dozen for mediums and 12 cents for stand' aids and fresh extras with the lat ter class practically unrecognized. The only grading for fresh extras being done, according to the buyers. is alter the eggs leave the original purchaser and go Into the commis sion or retail merchant's hands. Plentiful supplies are available due to the fact that hatching re quirements are probably 60 to 80 per cent less in the local producing area mis year. A few far-sighted poultrymen, banking on bright pros pects for next year when the current laying stock Is about exhausted, are ordering to-the-limit chicks, but the most of these orders have already seen booked, so that no great In crease in orders can be expected irom now on till the end of the hatching season. The low buying Drlce. while some what lower than the average small retailer will pay directly to the producer, represents the general sentiment of the trade despite an expressed aesire In some quarters to see an Immediate improvement in tne situation.
