A young man, recently from Port
land, is doing soliciting for a local
firm. At the close of his first day's
work ho turned in an expense slip,
"car fare, 25 cents."
One of tho funny things about this
campaign Is tho first-hand informa
tion concerning Roosevelt's move
ments as given out by the Taft head
quarters. Considering the north pole scrap it
is Indeed a hero who would go out
and deliberately stumble on the
south one. - .
With both poles discovered scien

upwards and discover the high cost
of living.

THE CORE OF THE EGG QUESTION.
TAXING it jjenerully, there is probably no more loosely
conducted industry in (he country than the egi- and
poultry business, broadly speaking, it is not managed as
a business at all. It is something that attaches itself to
the farm as a mere incident, "something for the women to
look after," when they have time; even from them it often
receives little thought or attention; its surplus product is
gathered and sent to market in a haphazard way. and vet
the individual poultry yard contributes toward a traffic
amounting in the United States alone to .fli'JU.UUU.UUU an
nually, says the Christian Science Monitor.
'Pile poor handling of eggs has resulted in enormous
losses, and the subject has for some time past been re
ceiving the attention of the bureau of animal industry. A
possible solution of the problem was reached through the
recommendation that associations of egg buyers be formed.
The experiment was tried in Kansas, with the cooperation
of the state authorities, of fixing prices on a quality basis
only. It is held that this has resulted in a great improve
ment, and, according to an authority, "the best evidence
of its success is seen in the fact that the movement has
now spread into other states."
There has in recent years been a great increase in the
number of egg and poultry farms, and many grocers are
now making a specialty of their products. They take,
especially at first, a considerable risk in doing so. as to
most people eggs are eggs, and it is difficult to obtain a
higher price for those guaranteed to be fresh than for those
simply said to be so. One of the suppliers of some of the
richest people in a neighboring city is quoted as saying
that he would lose most of his trade should he charge the
prices that would enable him to handle the skilfully man
aged egg-farm product. The price of the inferior egg
makes the price of the superior.
Xow, what is going to help out this situation AVhat
is going to make it an object for the average fanner to
pay greater attention to the poultyv vardi An easier.
more direct system of dealing with the retail dealer and
censumer: that is, a better system of distribution. If the
farmer can only reach the consumer, or. at least, the
retailer, quickly and cheaply, he will get a better price
for his eggs and poultry, and the poultry and pgg branch
of his business will become more important to him.

The sponsors of the bill claim that

Further the reort says: The term
