It is rare to find eggs at the more favorable recent price of 20 cents. Producers say the cold weather has caused the shortage and the sharp price rise. : When your gas bill seems too high, it could be due to a leak or improper installation. Either can be avoided if the work is done by competent men. : The Topeka Commercial Club has withdrawn its support for a World’s Fair in Kansas in 1911. The Topeka scheme was never well-conceived and there is no surprise about the demise of the project. :The turn-down electric lamp and the movable light are becoming increasingly popular in homes here and they seem to be so simple and easy to use that even a child can handle them.”
