ON MARKET WITH SHOPPERS
Discussion of Strawberry Situation
by Two Omaha Women.
CANNED GOODS GENERALLY FAR
Looks as Though Business Would
Equal That of Last Year, which
Was Record-Breaker, Ac-
cOrdinE TO Figures.

We'll. this seems to be great spring
for strawberries.
These were the words spoken in one of
the local stores yesterday by an elderly
woman who had just met a friend from
another section Of the city. Both were
on a shopping tour, getting ready for
Sunday, as a great many other hoIse-
wives were doing at that time. The
strawberry situation had deeply Inn
pressed this woman, so she began talking
the strawberry market to her friend
Yes, 1t has been n great spring for
strawberries, II you mean great in the
way 1 do" was the reply that came to
her.
THE thing that has impressed me"
this from the first woman, lis the large
quantity of strawberries that seem to be
on the early market. We have never be-
bore at this time of year eaten so many
strawberries. We have had them every
day, twice each day, and on some days
we have eaten them for all three meals.
That is the reason / said this had been a
great year for strawberries"
All dealers in Omaha report that the
sales of strawberries this week have ex-
ceeded those of any previous week. The
supply, they declare is large enough to
supply the demand at very reasonable
prices.
Business in all lines of canned goods
and dried fruits is generally good, equal
ing that of last spring, which was a record
breaker.
The market for spot canned asparagus
is dull and unsettled on account of the
outlook for an enormous crop and the
large carryover.
During the week little change was noted
in meat prices.

MASON WINS SPELLING BEE
Three Schools Have Competing Teams
in Contest.
MANY STAND FOR LONG TINE
Verna smith Holds the Fort After
All the Rest Fail ON Words
that Are More or Less
DifficuIt.

Forty-five ladies and misses from the
Mason, Windsor and Long public schools
engaged in an old-fashioned spelling bee at
the Mason school Thursday afternoon.
After five hours of tussle. the Mason
school representatives carried off the
pennant. little Verna Smith holding the
fort. after all the others had gone down
under the bombardment Of words shot at
them by Mrs. Frederique LOOMS, who Of
ficiated as pronouneer
All honors went to the Mason school
contingent. Marguerite Childs, a class
mate OF the winner, was the last to go
down. leaving little Miss Smith supreme
One by one the aspirants from the rival
schools succumbed TO the words which
grew bigger as the time progressed The
opening two hours session was easy for
the competitors. A list of 500 words, which
had been studied previously, was soft for
the aspirants only eight fell by the way
aide, four from Mason and two from each
of the other schools. After this list was
exhausted, the pronouncer looked around
for others, finally resorting to words
CLEANED from the history of the French
revolution. An hours program resulted
In little change in the delegations, though
here and there one hosted the white flag
when a particularly hard word was Of
fered
For an hour Mrs. LOomis ransacked the
history. Then she varied her tactics by
going TO a great big dictionary. 1t proved
the undoing OF ali save little Miss Smith.
Her olassmate kept her company, but
finally went down and left little verna with
a clear field.
The contestants were seventh and eighth
grade students in the schools. Those who
took part were:

SCIENTIFIC POINT CLEARED UP
to Charge With the Age of Clouds.

It seems rather singular to speak of the 'age of clouds"--of "old clouds and young clouds" yet 1t really ap pears that such a distinction can Do made. and that the discovery. as so frequently happens In matters scien tifc. was based upon preceding mis take.
 The conclusion was reached years ago in scientific quarters that the density of a cloud was proportiOned to the number of water particles 1t con tained. the water particles, in turn. depending upon the particles of dust present. Later. however, these same authorities ascertained that their first conclusion vas wrong. and that in many clouds the density falls far short of proportionality with the number of water particles. Further inyessiga ton points to the fact that the size of the water particles changes with the age" of the cloud The clouds upon which the first observations were made must. it Is thought, have beeL old clouds. and in them the water particles. being comparatively large. appeared to be proportional to the density But the later observations were made upon newly-formed or young clouds. in which the particles were small in size.

 DECLARATIONS
Ballot Platforms of Candidates for State and County
 Offices

Platforms play a prominent part in primary election. such as will be held in Arizona on October 24. That is. they do in theory When the framers of the law decided to limit candidates to twelve word platform, they probably thought they were plac- ing a premium on wit, the affinity of brevity. The words that were not born to die" having as many lives as words in the phrase, are all to the point and the theory of the primary law was calculated to add numerously 10 the Sayings of Great Men"
 But If it had not been for the De elaration of Independence. Constitu- ton of the United States of America and Congressional Records. contain ing the oratorical efforts of word ma kers. the Arizona candidates would have been in a hole for a platform Of twelve words Instead of invent ing something new to tickle the fancy of the voter. they haze picked out Of the pages of history such phrasAs as were eftieaeious in their day and time of ntterance.
 The republicans are regular if any thing, SO instead of serving up frica- seed language, phrases au shux, and terms a Ia and de la something or other, they merely say that their plat form Is that of the republican party" There are one or two exceptions. For instance a republican justice Of the peace down at Pirtleyille. candidate for reelection, believes in an econ omical administration for all the peo- pie" Another candidate shouts a square deal for all.
 Strange to say, none of the social ist candidates specify any of their cure-an specifics in their platforms. 1t is merely the platform. territorial and national, of the socialist party"
 The democrats come nearer to com ing up to the exceptions of the law framers than anybody. Emery Has hurst-saye the aspirate- is for the recall, especially judges. Tariff re- ductions. No kidnapping. Men above money" He also believes in pluri- bus unum and multnm in paryO. Ives Ling and Marcus Aurelius Smith have no vest pocket edition of their plat form.

It would be a novelty for them and l believe that they would enjoy it."
