Georgia peaches have been introduced
into the markets of Canada and the
middle western states, where hereto

Because of the ability of the exchange
to put cars in the small cities of the
middle west, the eastern market has
not been glutted and consequently
prices have been maintained and the
growers have benefited accordingly.

Ru.kin', Grocery Adventure.

From time to time in the last few
years various men and women OF
prominence have gone into the gro
Gerry business to give the poor a
chance to buy small quantities at tine
same rate as those for which their
richer brothers buy large quantities.
Usually these plans have failed, for
some reason or other. This was the
case with Ruskin's grocery, for Rus.
kin himself found it expedient to
close it. For. said he, the poor like
their groceries brilliantly lighted
and eloquently ticketed, and he
would compete neither with gas nor
rhetoric"

CUBS and RED S0X

in New York and Philadelphia Oh,
yes. the pair mentioned have what
might be called fair lead, but this
is the year of upsets. And there's no
telling how far it will continue.
The Cubs, if you remember, were
figured hopelessly out of the race two
months ago. Ditto for the Red Sox.
Then they hit their stride and ever
since have ben Just few jumps be-
hind the leaders. Both may lack the
final whallop-the drive to hurtle
them over fhe heads of the present

Daniels is the most recent come
back"-and he's performing in
wonderful style in the Red outfield.
The Ya2ks shooed him off to the
minors last spring. Since his sale
by the Baltimore Internationals to
the Reds he has been hitting like a
streake and fielding brilliantly.
If Joe Birmingham has his way the
Maps will have an almost entirely
new team when they take the field
next year. But if Joe insists upon
trading off Joe Jackson and a few
other Maps stars it's quite likely
that the Maps won't finish with a
much better percentage than they will
do this year. House-cleaning is a
good thing once in while. but,
when cleaning, it isn't good policy to
knock the house down. A little frame

With Baker and Collins off the Ath-
letics. Cobb of the Tigers. and Jack
son of the Maps pretty we'll punched,
and with iris Speaker of the Red Sox
pounding along in their wake, it looks
like toss up as to who will grab the

The Best Reason for Saving.

4ue oeSt reason Tor saving.
During the hard times we are
forced to be prudent and thrifty. and
in consequence get rich faster than
We do in what we call prosperous
times. "-Stuyvesant Fish.
The man who has looked upon saw
ing as an almost hopeless task, with
the interest earned scarcely enough
reward for his efforts, ought to
change his views because Of the great
opportunities now presented to those
Who have saved
Pick up almost any newspaper and
you will see unusual real estate OPP
portuntties because owners need the
money and will sell at sacrifice.
That is where the thrifty man comes

which II invested opportInely will
yield many times the usual rate of
interest.
F., For example, the other day we read
this little advertisement in the
classified" section of a newspaper:
This place must be sold at once.
Any reasonable offer considered, as /
need the money"
Such an advertisers extremity is
the savers opportunity, because h.
can use his savings to buy piece OF
real estate at price which will net
him good profit when this tempo
rary depression and period of liqul-
Idstion" is over, which will be yer,
soon, unless all signs fail.
Perhaps in this very newspaper

which you might take advantage of If
you had some extra money available
f'r the purpose.
The only certain way to be ready
for business opportunities is to save
and deposit in the bank.
To most money earners the ques-
ton of acquiring capital resolves
itself into turning as much as posi-
BILE of the earnings into permanent
Investment fund.
Build up savings account in
some good bank with the purpose of
being ready for your opportunity
when it comes to you, as it surely
will, sooner or later.

The same man told of one plant

to hold its employees in expectation
of taking them back to work. So 1t
announced that it was going to shut
down for repairs, and that in the

The superintendent ordered the
roofman to proceed as slowly as pos

factory could not open even though
it had new roof. The roof manu-
facturer tells of many pathetic met

tears in their eyes. and begged him to
hurry up the roof work SO that they

them, but I could not tell them the
truth, which was that the roof was
not the real reason they were idle. %
