EGGS. 
Receipts are large—on one recent day l.SCO,- 
000 dozen. Prices are a little under last week, 
but demand is good, and tlie decline early in 
the week has been partly regained. Speculators 
are reported to be storing choice eggs at 35 
cents or a trifle under, the idea evidently being 
that everything will be high, especially protein 
foods.

LIVE POULTRY. 
Broilers are a trifle more plentiful and lower 
on fair to good qualities. I^'owls remain high. 
An effort is being mad'e to establish a weekly 
live poultry price every Wednesday. This is 
done by a committee of dealers and others in¬ 
terested with the avowed purpose of improving 
the cutthroat conditions that have prevailed for 
some time in the live poultry trade.

FRESH FRUITS. 
A good many medium and low-grade apples 
are now on the market and selling slowly at re- 
d'uci'd i)rlces. These represent mainly holdings 
that nilglit well have been disposed of some 
time ago, and many of them could have been 
sold now locally at a better net than will result 
here. Cranberries very dull and low, except for 
best. Open crate strawberries in larger supply, 
but moving out mainly under 20 cents.

VEGETABLES. 
Potato receipts are large but demand heavy 
and prices $1 to .$1.2.5 per sack aljove last week. 
I’art of this advance is owing to the Govern¬ 
ment’s request for bids on rather large quan¬ 
tities for the arm.v. Texas new onions are ar¬ 
riving and bringing around $5..50 per bnsliel. Old 
onions are a little higher wlien fairly sound. 
Cabbage extremely scarce. Lettuce averaging 
ver.v poor. String beans and peas lower. To¬ 
matoes very poor.

A Homely Illustration 
with a Moral for Every 
Car Owner 
Why is the Cork Tapered? 
The humble cork is as efficient in service 
as it is simple in principle. 
It always fits. Why? Because it’s tapered. 
What has this to do with the bearings on 
an automobile, motor truck or tractor? 
Everything. • 
For a well designed bearing must not 
only carry the load—it must serve as a 
“stopper.” That’s the reason for the cork¬ 
shaped form of a Timken Bearing. It must 
stop the impact that comes with every sway 
of the vehicle from side to side, with every 
turn of a curve or corner. 
This impact is more technically known as end- 
thrust—the force that presses the whole weight of 
your car and its burden sideways into the hub of 
the front wheel as you turn a corner. 
Such an impact must be cared for in some way 
and it is perfectly “stoppered” by the tapered roll¬ 
ers of the Timken Bearing, revolving inside the 
Conical cup which fits into the hub of the wheel. 
You cannot wear out a cork. After long use 
it will simply go into the neck of the bottle a little 
farther, or a little more snugly. 
It’s the same way with your Timken Bearings. 
All bearings will wear in time. With Timken Bear¬ 
ings, the wear is evenly distributed over a large sur¬ 
face. Even after thousands of miles it is difficult to 
detect this slight wear. But when wear does coma 
in the Timken Bearing it can be entirely taken up 
by a slight adjustment—merely moving the cone 
with its rollers a little farther into the cup—and all 
effect of wear immediately vanishes, leaving the 
bearing as good as new. 
Car manufacturers realize the Importance of hav¬ 
ing bearings that will not wear out at the points 
of severest service. That is why 83 per cent of the 
higher grade 1917 cars priced above $700 and made 
in plants having an annual capacity of 1,000 cars or 
more are equipped at front or rear wheels, differ¬ 
ential, pinion or transmission with Timken Bearings, 
That is why Timken Bearings are best fitted 
for the rough usage that bearings must undergo in 
farm tractors.
