i UNCLE SAM is the heaviest egg eat
er in the world. In fact, so fond is
the old U. S. A. of the hen product
that another century may see the
deposition of the bald-headed eagle
and the crowning of another feath
ered monarch.
These United States eat 154,000,000
eggs each day—1,080,000,000 a week
—4,620,000,000 a month—56,160,000,
000 a year.
Every man, woman and child in the country con
sumes a little over an egg and a half each day. If
you, personally dislike eggs for food there is some one
else in some part of America who puts three away as
a foundation for his or her breakfast coffee.
Easter week, the biggest egg occasion the year
'round, sees the consumption of about two billion eggs
—violet, pink, crimson, purple, yellow and some green.
That the egg will displace all others as the national
food tidbit is the prognostication of those who earn
their livings by raising chickens. Chicago, alone, with
less than two million population, Easter week last, put
away 60,000.000 eggs. So greedy was the Windy city

Increase in price sufficient to yield the speculators a
considerable profit. They estimated the proceeds
after all expenses had been met. at four cents on the
dozen- $20,000 on the lot.
Other great egg corners have been manipulated and
the profits doubtless have been even greater, but
they seldom come to the public ear because of the
shekels which are raked in from the enterprise.
In the egg corner mentioned above, scores of men
worked day and night for two days getting the prod
uct out of cold storage to place them on the market
while the price held up.
The workmen were where they could be called at
once, and the minute the word came over the tele
phone to get the great crates out of the cold storage
warehouse, the toilers were set to work. Two days
later every egg had been sold, the money collect
ed and more than half of them eaten by the con
sumer.
\rADY ro&
fruit from the market at the city by the lake had
to go eggless Easter.
Jim I’atten's wheat corner will be a mere baga
telle alongside of the movement of the man who
can corner eggs. Small egg corners are frequent,
however. Cold storage men often lay aside sev
eral millions in a semi-frozen state and hold them
for nine months or so, dumping them on the mar
ket when the price is in the clouds.
But the cold storage egg is inferior because
the fresh egg advocate argues the chicklet has
a chance to grow a little before the yellow inside
freezes, thus storing up nasal evidence against
the purity of the product. i
For the housewife in the big city there is an
everyday opportunity to effect a coup, for when
she can find a producer who sells “eggs laid fresh
to-day,” she considers herself a model of wifely
devotion. But as there is no smell on the outside
of the shell there are often lots of angry glances
from the male partner in the household, which
are born of the unborn chick.
The length of time that an egg wiil keep fresh
is governed by the care which is taken in its
preservation. They are packed in ice as a rule,
and if packed soon enough after being laid, the
chicken life is properly killed and thus the an
gry eye-to-eye message is eliminated.
Suitable to the occasion is the aged tale of the
man with the flowing mustache and the time
marked egg. He had it for breakfast—the egg—
and being a city man rode down to his place of
business in conventional manner, taking no no
tice of the fact that while the seat beside him
remained vacant there were half a dozen com
muters standing nearby.
As he alighted at his destination a sniff likened
to the cdor of an egg of evil intentions pierced
his nasal sense. During the walk to his office
he noticed that the smell was everywhere. It
was in the street, in the rotunda of the office
building, in the elevator, in the hall on the nine
teenth floor, and he was startled beyond meas
ure to find that on entering his office he smelled
egg there, too.
Stepping to the desk of the head bookkeeper,
he asked him if he smelt an unhealthy odor.
“Why, no,” replied the knight of the day led
ger castine a glance at the yellow streak clear
across the boss’ mustache.
His stenographer being too polite
to remark on the yellow streak, edged
to the leeward side of her chair when he bent
toward her in dictating a letter.
He made the rounds of the office employes,
asking whether they smelt egg. but all being
too polite to tell him he had overlooked an im
portant point, declared they smelt no egg. The
odor stayed with him.
In desperation he fled to his private office, mut
tering as he slammed the door: “My heavens,
the whole world smells, and no one knows it but
me.”
But that is only a minor point in the adoption
of a new national food by Uncle Sam. With
each year the production of the hens of the coun
try is becoming smaller in proportion to the de
mand for eggs. As a consequence the experts
declare that each succeeding year will see the
price soar beyond expectations. The last months
of winter and the first of early spring are the
hardest for the egg eaters, for then the cost
soars, there are less of the precious morsels and
those which appear are often holdovers from the
year previous, but even those bring prices rang
ing from 30 to 40 cents a dozen.
The time is remembered by many when the
best eggs brought 12 cents a dozen in retail
stores, and the wholesale price was below that.
So steep has the conventional cost become that
thousands of farmers are yearly devoting their
land to the raising of fowls.
The industry has already become a mighty
factor in national life and within two decades if
the country continues to eat eggs at the present
rate of increase, the business of growing eggs
may outweigh that of cattle and grain.
In the large cities, Chicago, for instance, the
high price of meat compelled the poorer classes
to adopt the egg as a means of obtaining nourish
ment. The increased demand of course boosted
the price, but still the middle and upper classes
cling to the fowl product, foul or fair.
In the great marts of trade the egg industry is
perhaps the most interesting of all. One great
cold storage warehouse in Chicago during the
last egg famine, unloaded on the market close
to 6,000,000, and every one was sold to the local
retail merchants. The eggs were said to have
been in cold storage for nine months, pending an
it was a great coup and only one of the many.
Other enterprises of like nature where the pro
ceeds have ranged into large figures, have been
told, but the details seldom became public prop
erty. This, by reason of the fact that the egg
“corner” Is today a rather undeveloped science.
But the monarchs of other branches of the pro
ducing world have come to look upon move
ments of that sort as one of the money makers of
the days to come.
Early this month when eggs (cases returned),
were bringing only 19 cents a dozen, wholesale,
the lover of them felt fairly jubilant and barn
yard prognosticators predict that this Jubilant
feeling shall prevail for the rest of the summer.
Extra quality eggs were then selling at 23 cents
a dozen, while ordinary “firsts” brought 19 cents
and “firsts” one cent more a dozen, "prime firsts”
selling at 21 cents.
So. with the sway of the strawberry the price of
eggs dropped off, and before August, it is said, the
cost may go lower.
With the private producers, who sell only lim
ited quantities of eggs. 40 cents a dozen is not an
unheard of figure for what are known as “eggs
laid fresh to-day." Of course, the right to that ti
tle must be undisputed, and often when eggs are
sold, backed by a reputation for freshness, high
er priceti are paid for them by the epicures.
However, frauds in eggs are as frequent as
swindles in other industries, and fastidious per
sons, who hate cold storage eggs worse than they
do paying fancy prices, are often taken in by the
“farmer” who rides into the city on the interurban,
buys up a large cargo of eggs in the open market,
rents a wagon, the muddier the better, and pro
ceeds to distribute cold storage eggs for the prod
uct he claims is “laid fresh to-day."
Helping the Halt.
A certain informed bachelor, one of those the
Gateway succeeded in getting on the list during
leap year, tells of one of the boys who after at
tending a farewell bachelor supper meandered
home in a muddled state late one Saturday night,
or rather Sunday morning, and, getting as far as
the entrance of his rooming house, he sat down on
the stone steps, his hat fell off on his knees and
with head bowed down he slumbered peacefully.
He awoke about nine o’clock and found 34 cents in
his hat.. Charitably inclined early churchgoers had
mistaken him for a beggar and dropped their pen
nies into his upturded hat—Bremen 'Ga.) Gateway.
DEAD TO ASSIST THE LIVING
- *
Something Grewsome in the Foreshad
owed Possibilities of Cur
rent Science.
Uncanny resurrections from the
dead are foreshadowed by current
science. Ur. Alexis Carrel of the
Rockefeller institute, has shown how
the knee joint of a dead man has re
placed the injured joint of a living
person; how the arteries of husband
and wife have been successfully .-joined
so that the wife might endure the
shock of a surgical operation; how an
infant's hlood had been revitalized by
the blood of its parent; how a human
artery and jugular vein have been in
terchanged and are fulfilling each
other's function; how the kidneys of
one cat were substituted for the cor
responding organs of another; and
how a living fox terrier now frisks
about upon the leg of a dead com-!
panion.
“In my experiments to preserve ar
teries," says Carrel, “1 found that
desiccation would not do, but pro
duced a state of absolute death. Then
I put the arteries in refrigerators and
kept them in hermetically sealed
tubes at a temperature a little above
freezing. I found that an artery
could be kept alive for 60 days and
substituted for the artery of a living
animal.”
It is predicted that the day is not
distant when the perfect organs of a
man who in life had been free from
disease may be kept in cold storage
after his death and used to replace
diseased organs in living men.

RATES OF BONDING
STATE BOARD SETS FORTH SOME
CHANGES FROM 1907.
THE GUARANTY DEPOSIT LAW
Preparations for Its Enforcement—
Other Matters Uppermost at
the State Capital.
i ne rates ot fidelity and guaranty
bonding companies in force for the
year 1907 were adopted by the state
board newly created to establish max
imum rates for the bonding companies,
imum rates for the bonding companies.
This sets aside the big increase in
rates made by such companies and
enforced since the first of the present
year. Gov. Shallenberger. Auditor
Barton and Attorney General Thomp
son adopted the new rates and they
will remain in force till the board
makes a more complete investigation.
Where the rates of 1909 apply to new
classes of business that were not list
ed in 1907. the rates of 1909 will re
main till further orders. No rates
have been established for bonds of
state officers because no such bonds
will be given for another two years.
The rate of county treasurer was
reduced in many cases, the reduction
in Lincoln county being from $10o for
two years to $2.70 for the same period.
The rate proposed by bonding com
panies for all the county treasurers
in the state would make a total of
$35,311 for two years. The rate
adopted by the board will reduce this
to about S30.S70.
Some of the changes are shown by
a comparison of the following rates
adopted by the board, per $1,00(1, and
the rates which the bonding compa
nies proposed and which have been
in force up to this time:

To Enforce Guaranty Deposit.
A defense of the banking law. the
so-called guaranty of deposits, was
discussed by Gov. Shallenberger. Au
ditor Barton and Attorney General
Thompson and Samuel Patterson of
Arapahoe. Mr. Patterson is the bank
er who was appointed by the governor
secretary of the banking board to
take his office July 2. The two state
officers who were with the governor
are to be members of the new board
after the act takes effect July 2. The
governor Instead of the state treasu
rer is to be a member of the board
after July 2.
“We take it for granted there are
no nullifiers,” said Gov. Shallenberger,
after the conference, “and shall pre
pare to enforce the guaranty law. Mr.
Patterson will go to Oklahoma to
study the enforcement and workings
of the guaranty law of that state be
fore he takes his position as secretary
of the Nebraska banking board."
Will Test Guaranty Law.
John L. Webster of Omaha was in
Lincoln and announced that he ex
pected to file a suit soaie time this
week to test the constitutionality of
the bank guaranty law, enacted by the
late legislature. Mr. Webster held a
consultation with the attorney general
in which he asked that the legal de
partment file a demurrer to his peti
tion, ana in that way get the case be
fore the court. Inasmuch as the at
torney general understands that some
of the bankers intend to have other
counsel assist in the defense of the
law. he refused to agree to any mode
of procedure, for fear it might embar
rass the counsel the bankers may em
ploy.
order Against rtaiiroaos.
The State Railway Commission has
issued an order against the I'nion Pa
cific. the Burlington and the North
western railroads, prohibiting them
from shipping flour into Omaha at a

■Secretary Rovse of the state bank
ing board finds only four private
banks now on the list in Nebraska
whereas there were sixty-five eight
years ago. There were twelve in ex
istence the first of the present year.
Under the guaranty deposit law which
goes into effect July 2. no authority
will exist for private banks to con
tinue in business after July 2. All
such banks must go out of business
or maintain their rights in the courts.
Contract for Convicts Rejected.
The Board of Public Lands and
Buildings rejected the contract the
governor had signed with the Lee
Bloom and Duster company for fifty
additional convicts at 55 cents a day.
the company to have the use of the
first and second floors of east 3 shop
E and extra power and heat.
After rejecting the governor's con
tract the board unanimously adopted
the following resolution, introduced by
Secretary of State Junkin:
Whereas, There are now at the peni
tentiary about 500 unemployed con
victs capable of manual labor; be it
Resolved, That if the Lee Broom
and Duster company will provide in
its contract to take all the unem
ployed convicts and agree to pay
therefor 62^2 cents per day for each
day's task, as proposed to the paid by
Mr. Cunningham, such contract will
meet the approval of the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings.
Want Him Kept in Jail.
The people in the neighborhood of
Cedar Bluffs, Kan., near the Nebraska
line, will fight to a finish the applica
tion of John F. Connor for a transfer
from the state penitentiary to the
asylum. Connor Is serving a life sen
tence for the murder of his wife. He
has been in prison since April 28.
190S. Recently his brother-in-law, a
lawyer of Denver, wrote to Governor
Shallenberger asking that he be trans
ferred to the asylum. The governor
has received a big petition asking that
the transfer be not made.
Mr. Donohue Speaks.
“The people of Nebraska want a
nonpartisan judiciary and they will
have it.” said Senator Donohue, fath
er of the bill which will shortly be in
the courts. “I admit there may be
some things lacking in the details of
the bill passed by the recent legisla
ture. but the people will have such a
law, either the present one or amend
ments to the present law." Senator
Donohoe said he thought republican
state committee made a great mis
take in deciding to attack the consti
tutionality of the law and he felt sure
the law would stand the test of the
courts.
Collecting Occupation Tax.
The crusade of Chief Rickard after
license and occupation tax delin
quents has already born fruit, as the
money in the till of the city treasurer
shows. Over $500 has rolled over the
counter at the office in a few days
from those who have been backward
in coming through with the cash.
The occupation taxes due from the
Lyric and Majestic theaters was
liquidated. It is understood that Man
ager Gorman, who also runs the Won
derland refuses to pay the $75 occu
pation tax on the ground that it does
not come under the wire as being an
object of taxation.
Requisition for Patterson.
Governor Shallenberger issued an ex
traction warrant to convey Clarance
Patterson (Colored) from Omaha to
Kansas City, Kans. Paterson is ac
cused of grabbing a tray of diamonds
in a Jewelry store of Kansas City
and escaping.
Governor Invited to New York.
Gov. Shallenberger has received an
invitation to attend the Fourth of July
celebration under the auspices of the
Tammany society, or Columbian Or
der, and deliver an address. The
meeting will be held in Tammany hall.
New York, July 5. The invitation was
signed by Daniel F. Cohalan, C. F.
Murphy, Timothy D. Sullivan and oth
ers. Inasmuch as Gov. Shallenberger
has already accepted an invitation to
be at Crawford on July 5 with his stafT
he had to decline the Tammany invita
tion.
Alleged Embezzler Caught.
Sheriff Hoagland has received word

have been searching for him ever
since. The Syracuse . authorities de
clare they are positite they have the
