TOAPut Up Peaches Sugar
Is Higher, While Peaches
Are Cheaper

Are you hesitating to put up" sew
eral quarts of peaches for table use
this winter, simply because the war
in Europe has sent the price of sug-
ar soaring? If you are, Danish the
fear of extra cost, call up your grocer
and oredr that bushel of peaches and
a dozen quart jars.
An investigation discloses that
housewives use an average of from
II to Is pounds of sugar to put up a
bushel of peaches. And sugar costs
1920 retail less than three cents a
pound more this year than last So
your sugar would cost you from thirty
to forty cents more for that bushel
put up in fruit jars.
And what do the peaches cost
Well, peaches this year promise to
be more abundant and may be bought
from 25 to so cents a bushel less.
Peaches now on the market sell from
S2.25 to $500 and will be cheaper.
Island peaches are due here today.
The market already has had Ken
lucky, Kansas and Missouri fruit.
Fruit jars, and cans too, are cheap
er. The jars retail about 10 cents a
dozen less while the cans retail five
cents cheaper But the tin supply is
limited and a saving may not be ef-
fected on the cans.
From a bushel of peaches you can
get from ii to II quarts canned in
rich favored syrup. Each quart will
cost about "a cents, which is less by
IL cents than you can buy canned
peaches anywhere near an equal
grade.

BRITISH FLEET SINKS
GERMAN WARSHIPS
Battle Fought In tho North Sea
OF HslgOIand

London, Aug. 3s.-Ths admiralty
officially announced that the British
feet sunk two German cruisers and
two destroyers OF HelgolAnd. The
announcement says that third oruis.
er was set afire and was left burning.
According to the announcement, no
British ship was lost in the battle and
the British loss Of life was not heavy.
The British squadron was com
manded by Rear Admiral David Beat
ty, who married in 1901 Miss Ethel
Field, daughter Of the late Marshall
Field of Chicago. Rear Admiral Beat.
ty formerly was naval secretary to
the first lord OF the admiralty. The
admiralty further announced that the
destroyer Welland has sunk the Ger
man destroyer $50 Of the Chinese
coast.
The report that Prince Albert, "the
sailor prince" second son Of King
George, who was on the battleship
Collingwood, had been attacked with
appendicitis, is officially contradicted.
It is said, however, that he has been
transferreod to a hospital ship.
The importance of the daring raid
is the fact that the British feet pass
ed behind Germany's heavily armed
outpost on Helgoland island and en-
gagged the German mosquito feet
guarding the mouth Of the Elbe and
the entrance to the Kiel canal.
