Explanations of the high prices of food products have been numerous of late, many men of many minds having attempted to tell us Just why we pay so much to live, but the true explanation will doubtless be found in facts similar to the follow ing, which is quoted from a New York dispatch: "There are 36,000,000 eggs, enough to provide eight eggs apiece for ev ery man, woman and child in New York City and all its boroughs in one cold storage warehouse in Jersey City, according to the Information placed before the Hudson county (N. J.) grand jury today In its investi gation of the big packing and other concerns which maintain extensive warehouses on the other side of the Hudson river. The eggs have been there since last 'March, it was learn ed, together with 100,000 pounds of poultry stored since April." Investigations are on foot in many large cities, and it is likely that their findings will be very much the same every wnere, mat tnere is a con spiracy among the great cold stor age concerns of the country to main tain high prices by limiting the sup ply of various food products. MANY INVESTIGATIONS. A Number Under Way at Washing ton and Still More in Sight The High Cost of Living Being Probed. Greensboro Record. Washington, Feb. 2.

The investigation to be undertaken by the ways and means committee will be the first serious effort on the part of congress to ascertain the amount of the raise in prices and the rea sons therefor. Democratic members claim that it is due to the tariff, but the Republicans have some good hot shot to show that it is not. In any event, the investigations keep the stenographers and printers busy. Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture, believes that the boys and girls of the country should be taught something about the agricultural methods and re sources of the country and for some time he has been encouraging the organizing in different parts of the country of boys' and girls' agricul tural clubs. The secretary has had prepared a bulletin for free distribu tion telling how to organize the clubs, how to conduce certain con tests, and what publications of the department will be useful to the boys and girls. The clubs already have a large number of members. "These Clubs," says the secretary "have various objects, but usually they provide for prize contests a- mong the members. Corn contests among the members. Corn growing contests are probably the most common among the boys, al though many other crops have been tried, while girls compete In bread making or sewing, or even test their skill against that of the boys in gar dening. "We have information of 395 counties in 28 States in which clubs are organized, with a total mem bership of about 144,000. New York has about 75,000 members; Nebraska, 25,000, and other States smaller numbers. One county iri Pennsylvania has 2,000 members. In most cases these clubs are organ N. C, A. G. Myers, Cashier (D Tooth 6 ized under the auspices of some State authority, such as the commis sioner of agriculture, the superin tendent of public instruction, the agricultural college, or a society like the State Corn Growers' Association of Delaware. We give assistance through the office of experiment sta tions, by furnishing advice and sug gestions. Through the department's bulletins the most practical instruc tion in the growing of corn and oth er crops may be had by the boys, while the girls may obtain bulletins on bread-making or gardening." LAYMEN TO ORGANIZE. Officers of First Presbyterian Church Meet to Effect Organization of Lay men's Missionary Society. A Joint meeting of the board of elders and deacons of the First Presbyterian church was held in the Sabbath school room of the First church February 3, at 7:30 p. m. to take under consideration ways and means to co-operate with the Lay- men'B Missionary movement, and to promote the spirit of missions in the church. The delegates appointed by the session some time ago to attend the Laymen's meeting in Greensboro by request met with the officers and in teresting talks were made by Mr. W T. Rankin and Mr. J. J. Kennedy. Mr. A. C. Jones, one of the delegates who was to have met with the of ficers, was out of the city. The meeting was characterized by a spir it of earnestness and enthusiasm that promises much for the mission work of the church in the future By unanimous vote it was determin ed to organize a Laymen's Mission ary Society and every man in the church over fifteen years of age was elected as a member and it is de sired that every one will become a contributing member. The contribu tion to missions through this mis sionary society is to mark ah ad vance and forward step in mission activity and according to understand ing is not to diminish or take the place of the offerings now made un der the budget system. Next Sabbath night at 7:15 all the men of the church are specially urg ed to meet in the First church to ef fect the missionary organization as BALDHEADED ROW. Early Picfy Not Always the Cause of Baldness. Inasmuch as it Is an accepted fact that baldness, falling hair and dand ruff are caused by a germ, doesn't it stand to reason that the only way to prevent such calamities is to kill the germs? And doesn t it stand to reason that the only way to kill these germs is to use Parisian Sage, which J. H. Kennedy & Co. have so much faith In that they guarantee It to cure dandruff, railing hair and Itching scalp In two weeks, or money back? Parisian Sage is a delightful hair tonic and Is pleasant to use. It Is not sticky or greasy, and contains only those Ingredients that will sure ly benefit. ' It is now sold by druggists all over America, and by J. H. Kennedy & Co. for 50 cents a large bottle. It Is used extensively by women who desire luxuriant hair with a radiant luster.
