PRICES STATIONARY :
j ON CAPITAL MARKET
Slight Changes in Cost Of Few
Products Noticeable During
/ Closing Week.

Very few changes have marked the
market this week, and. although
there has been plenty Of activity the
abundance of good things has kept
prices stationary. The appearance of
sweet cherries from Maryland coun-
ties is the feature of the fruit mar
ket. Strawberries are practically un-
changed. although the less expensive
ones appear to be OF better quality
than for several weeks. Excellent
berries may be obtained for Is cents
. eox. with the finest quality only 25
cents.
String beans dropped slightly in price
az the result of new supplies, but green
corn went up . cents dozen, although
the quality is better than that which
made its appearance only a few weeks
ago. Eggs and butter are unchanged.
Salmon Go Up.
Salmon went up and are now 40 cents
ton for last week. The best qualities
Of soft shell crabs have been boosted
to Is cents in place of 60. Fine porgtes
are now obtainable for 121t cents 4
pound. Lohsters are a little higher.
Herrings are out, Spanish mackerel are
out but sea trout on the contrary are
% plentiful that the price has been put
down to 10 cents pound and the frozen
quality Is out OF the market.
Meat prices remain the same in spite
o. the tendency to increase In whole

there Is mo need" to change retail

MAKING THE HAT ORIGINAL
Many Good Features About Millinery
That is Put Together by Ones
Own Hands.

Never has It been easier to trim
your own hat. In the days when 1t
was necessary to adjust bandeau to
make and fasten in rolls and rosettes
of mnline and then to arrange on the
top of the hat quantities of compli-
Gated trimming the task of making q
homemade hat was arduous, and the
results usually impossible. But for
the last few years-this season espe-
cially-it is an easy enough matter
for a person with distinct idea of
the effect she wants to produce to
trim hat in satisfactory and pro-
fessional way.
Everything today depends on the
line of the hat itself, in the absence
of built-up trimming. SO first select
a becoming shape. Then. with the ex-
quisite feathers, plumes and orna-
ments of plumetis. the task is easy.
The only disappointment now in the
homemade hat is that 1t is no bargain

OF course. people who live in the
country, or in small towns. where they
have q generous space for garden,
will do many more things for their
families thereby than they who have
but a few square feet for the garden.
Even people who live in closely set
tied cities, where there is nothing but
an ash barrel or garbage can for
background, have made the barrel to
blossom like the rose. Fill q barrel
with well-rotted horse manure and
plant some seeds of radish and cucum-
bers in 1t. II 1t has warm. sunny
place, you can grow your cucumbers
on a rack. using care to wet the
ground, not the plant, when watering
and soon you will be rewarded by a
good crop of crisp and refreshing Gu
cumbers.
II you have urns or tiles for plants
in the grounds. too early for their
rtshtful possessors, SOW radish and let
tuce seed in them. They will grow
like weeds in the warm sun and be
ready to vacate the place by the time
you wish to put the plants out.

WHAT COOPERATION MEANS
II Widely Extended and Wisely Man.
aged II Would Give the Producer
Great Profits.

Cold storage is an evil only when
controlled by dishonest men; properly
conducted It equalizes values. regu-
lates the supply of food products that
conform to supply and provide the
steady market and consequently
greater profits and more satisfaction
to the producer.
Cooperation among farmers. II
widely extended and wisely managed
would do the same thing. 1t would
prevent the rushing Of crops to mar
ket when prices are low. provide
capital to hold them. prevent ruinous
competition, reduce the cost of selling
and prevent losses through the mid
dieman.
During a period last year when the
receipts of eggs at Chicago and other
large cities were exceptionally heavy,
retail prices not only remained high
but actually advanced Farmers rushed
their eggs to market, accepting the
prices which were offered. which of
course constantly declined at the
initial market and were thus losers
to the extent of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
How? Because spectators, know
ing the weakness of farmers to sell on
n falling market. bought all the eggs
that were offered and placed them In
cold storage. In Chicago alone at one
time there were 72,00O,000 dozen eggs
in storage which had been taken of
the market in order to force retail
prices higher.
The same methods were observed
In all the other big markets, though
no figures were given out to show the
total number stored.

LOWER PRICE OF PRODUCTS
BY Wise and Statewide Cooperation
Farmer Might Get Much More
Than at Present.

The cost of living and the prices
paid the farmer are both higher than
ever before, 30 we are told almost
daily by our observant newspapers.
Perhaps both propositions are true
says the Utah Farmer. We live In
prosperous age, and we should expect
to pay more for our living. II the
prices paid the farmer for his prod
ucts had not gone up, the farmer
would have had to go out OF business
or else submit again to the slavery
of feudal conditions.
However, it is not the farmer who
has made the prices Of foodstuns
soar. For most crops the farmer still
is content to accept what he Is Of
fered. Someone else fixes his prices
for him and for the consumer and
someone reaps rich harvest from
the difference between the cost price
and the retail price.
The middleman has his place. The
farmer has no quarrel with him. II
there should be too many middlemen,
the surplus are invited to become
farmers. We have room and to spare.
The farmers, however. are beginning
to tire of methods of distribution.
whereby the selling prices Of his prod
ucts are fixed for him by men who
have little or no interest in his prob
lens. In no other business Is 1t done.
Shortly he will refuse to submit to 1t.
BY q wise cooperation of statewide
nature, not anarchistic but construc-
tive, the farmer could regulate the
prices of his own products. He might
not get much more than he does now.
but It probably would be more steady
from year to year. and undoubtedly 1t
would reduce largely the cost to the
ultimate consumer. This is one way
by which the high cost OF living can
be reduced, and also by which the
man of the city and the man of the
country can become acquainted and
help each other.

CHOOSING THE VISITING CARD
Many Kinds to Select From, and "
Really Becomes Simply a Matter
Of Ones Own Choice.

You drop into q .stationer's and ask
in a casual tone for new visiting cards.
The salesman inquiries: What kind
madam Hundreds of cards are
whirled at you. You are informed
that Mrs. Murray-Lothrop never uses
old English lettering; you are assured
that Mrs. Rutledge Harmon prefers
her cards to read with three names;
those Of her husband and herself and
of her daughter. Your husband does
not wish to use his middle name in
full, but the man across the counter
lifts his eyebrows and tells you that
initials may have been in style when
George Washington was the first gen.
tleman Of America. but they are not
used now by anyone who pretends to
know social conventions.
When you have decided on the en-
tirely correct thing. which is a thin
square bit of white pasteboard with
letters, shaded with the address be-
meath in the corner. then you will in.
stantly wonder II 1t would not have
been wiser to have ordered shaded old
English lettering. which has now Ia
ken the place of plain old English. The
public will answer that question by
saying that block letters are neater.
cleaner and easier to read.
What about your husbands cards?
asks the man across the counter. Your
first impulse IL to wonder why your
husband cannot attend to his own
cards. but when you are reminded that
1t is in better taste for the cards of
the family to correspond In size and
lettering you turn to the task with
more confidence. You choose an OBJ
long bit of pasteboard with his name
in full preceded by Mr.. and followed
In the lower corner with his address,.
You sigh. This task is done for the
year. you think. At the moment of re-
lief the man across the counter asks
whether all of your husbands cards
shall bear the name Of his club. Now
this is the one question for him to de-
eide. There is also the question Of the
bill-it is a wise plan to let him de-
eide on paying that. too-as his share
of the bargain.
