Recently when eggs were so valuable as to be worth more than brown stone fronts the editor started in to find the biggest egg. The Saline hens made extra efforts to outdo each other in laying big eggs and the Observer soon had his office filled with the hen fruit. He was in a fair way to become a millionaire when eggs tumbled in price. As soon as the big egg racket played out, the editor, quick to take advantage of the situation, started to teil of the smallest egg. This was a welcome relief to the hens and the Observer last week told of a hen's egg an inch and a quarter in circumference.
