LOCAL MARKET
WELL SUPPLIED
Strawberries and Fresh Veg
ot0bIOS Are Plentiful
BEEF PRICES STILL SOAR
Consequently MarkeIerS Purchase
Farm Products With Which TO
Stock Their Tables

Local markets were well supplied to-
day with vegetable products and green
goods from the truck gardens of the
farmers living near Wilmington.
Beef continues so high that the peo-
pie have been anXiously waiting for
the first vegetable crop of the season
with which to stock their tables. The
crop has arrived, and was eagerly
bought up, although the prices were a
little high. Still they are far below
those asked for beef.
Cold Nights Harmful
String beans sold at Is cents a quar-
ter peck The beans were somewhat
wlthered in appearance. as We're all the
farm products which fact Is accounted
for by the extremely cold weather
which has prevailed at night for the
last two or three weeks. Although the
crops sprout and grow well during the
day when the sun Is warm, they seem
TO be driven back into the ground at
night. Their growth has been forced
and that is what gives the goods the
dried up look
Fresh peas were sold for IS cents a
quarter peck in the pod.
Strawberries and Asparagus Plentiful
Eighteen cents was asked for aspara-
gus. and Strawberries. which are plen-
tiful, were sold for -, 1874 and 10
cents a box These prices are high,
but the dealers say they will soon take
drop. when the full crops are are put
on the market. Rhubarb was 3 cents;
new potatoes. 10 cents a quarter peck.
and tomatoes were IS cents a quarter
peck.
All green goods. such as lettuce.
scullions and herbs. were disposed of
at 3. and cents a bunch. Many
people We're in market. and all the
dealers reported a good business day.
Beef prices continue TO soar away
above all other odibles. and very little
was sold.

chances are that he will tell you 1t
is TO let people know there is barber

such u pole represents a barber shop

In olden times blood letting was be-

the man who made speciality of 1t,
as also some of them do today. The
pole has nothing to do with hair cut
ting or shaving; It represents the blood
letting end of the profession. The red
stripes indicate the flow of blood, the
white stripes the linen bandages used
after the operation. If you succeed
in cornering your barber on this ques-

he acquires some information worth
imparting.
