Child's stores Avhere anybody can stop in and get pure 

 clean sweet milk or cream, and then some good advertiser 

 ■-".vill tell them, "You stick a good, clean sanitary egg in it." 

 It is wonderful how the Almighty was so careful about that 

 egg, to make it sanitary with the shell outside and the skin 

 inside. You know they try to cure consumption with eggs 

 and milk; why not give an ounce of prevention. Why not 

 get as much money for milk as we do for beer? I don't see

There is the dawn of a better day for the agricultural 

 interests of the eastern country; the pendulum is swinging 

 back; I remember when the live-stock industry was in bad 

 shape in the west as you are here. The beef packers are

 that they raised in such excellent qualitj^ We only shoAved 

 goods. Do you suppose that if the International Harvester 

 Company took a 'sAveep-stakes prize, they Avould sit doAvn 

 and smile about it, or would they advertise it. tell every- 

 body that they had taken this prize and make many hun-
