Old Farmer’s Riddle: Why is a nobleman like a book? (Answer
below )
Once in the dim and musty
past there Has a country called Siam. In Siam, which was
in the Fm East, the ulnte elephant was pretty nigh sacred.
So sacred, in fact, that a small army of men were kept busy
caring for the critter and keeping him fed. In return the ele
phant merely looked pleasant and allowed folks to look at
him Is far as we know, the expression tame from this mite
of history, referring to something expensive to maintain, and
just about useless.

New Holland
Egg Market
Tuesday, January 16
Some traders are nervous as
anticipated improved demand is
not as strong as hoped for while
others continue to clear their
stocks satisfactorily. Fair
weekend retail clearances
coupled with previous orders and
early week store door deliveries
have tended to slow new buyer
interest in numerous eastern
consumer centers. In other
sections demand ranges from
slow to fair with slight improved
interest on large and mediums.
Large are adequate to ample and
this size is meeting the best
demand countrywide. Some
surplus mediums are available
but these are scattered while
extra large are not as readily
available pricewise as last week.
Fri.
NORTH ATLANTIC: Prices
mostly unchanged but market
unsettled.
Some weekend retail carryover
evident, so new cartoned orders
only fair despite some lower
offering prices. Wholesale trade
very light due to cautious buyers.
Supplies of white eggs not ex
cessive but some back up noted
on extra large and large. Also,
ungraded available on short
notice, mediums and smalls
spotty but adequate. In New
