TABLES AND FRUITS.

The market outlook for the house
wife is beginning TO appear as though
her allowance might be made to
reach if produce continues in the way
prices now indicate. Cost of neces-
stiles have gone up by bounds, and
have had no reyerses for some time.
But, though this may be but tempo
rary. indications are at present for
moderate prices, or at least not more
exorbitant.
Flour. that index and unit from
which all things are reckoned, is
down 95 cents from its highest
point. The price is not what might
be called cheap yet, but the tension
is at least relieved, and one may get
a good breath. Sugar is down from
its S11 price, and cane sugar is now
$S.75-not so much higher than for
merly. Potatoes, which staff and
comfort was passed repeatedly to the
hired man at the table, but which
lately have been locked in the fam
lily safe, are again eyincing a disposi-
ton to become reasonable. While
new potatoes are still selling at Z
cents a pound, the outlook is fol
them to be cheaper next week, ant
after that they will fall rapidly il
price until they will again become {
staple food instead of d luxury
There is no local supply available yet
but the acreage is said to be great
and though somewhat delayed in sea
son, the fields look good.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are al
so just on the break between import
ed supplies and those grown at home

INJURED BY AUTO
FOUR MEN INJURED ON WAY To
LAKE COUNTN-IN HOSPITAL
AT SIOUX FALLS.

H. H. Campbell, of Orland town
ship. went to Sioux Falls this morn
ing. called to the bedside of his friend
of long standing. James Pratt, of
Kingsley. la. Mr.. Pratt was injured
in an automobile accident in COM
pany with four others Wednesday
afternoon just north of Sioux Falls,
and is in the hospital at that place,
suffering from undetermined inter-
nal injuries.
James Watkins, owner and driver
of the car. a big Cadillac. and James
Pratt sustained injuries. V. V.
also passengers. were bruised badly.
Mr.. Pratt was on his way to visit the
family of II. III. Campbell, near Mad
ison.
The accident occurred about 5
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon and
was witnessed by A. Hanson, of Dell
Rapids, who was nearby. on his way
home. 1t is not just clear how the
accident occurred. Mr.. Hanson re-
ports that the Watkins party was
driving at a fair rate of speed, but
not dangerous. He saw the car go
over and the men thrown into the air
and at once hurried to their assist
ance. Watkins, Shea and Pratt were
thrown clear of the car, but Reeves
was pinned beneath it. He was re
leased by Hanson. Drs. Grove and
Egan, of Dell Rapids. were summon
ed and reported promptly. The in
jured men were placed in automo-
biles and taken to Sioux Falls, and
are now at the McKennan hospital.

able prices. So many local gardens
furnish early vegetables that there is
indeed very little sale for onions, let
tuce, radishes and spinach. This is
well, for such fresh stuff is almost a
prime necessity from hygeni2 stand
points.
Tomatoes from the Texas fields are
offered at is cents a pound This
wonderfully universal fruit will fall
in price rapidly now as the fields for
its production move rapidly north
with the season. Cabbage is brought
from California and sells at s cents.
1t is prime looking stock.
The season for grapefruit is over,
the last offerings being now in retail
stock. California productions of
plums, apricots and cantaloupes have
arrived-the latter luscious fruit
selling at Is and 90 cents apiece.
Makes one think of fall. South Da-
kota strawberries-also good crop
from Minnesota and cherries from
a short distance south are now avail
able. California has had some cher
ries on the market at prices which
made them expensive treats. Next
week will see the local production in
the market at prices and in profu-
sion which will start the kitchen can
ming plants working. a local mer-
chant assures us. Oregon is furnish
ing many loganberries.
Watermelons. selling at from 60
to rs cents. are about the price they
have come at i'm former years at this
season-they came from Texas. and
are just as suggestive of summer as
would be the ones i'm our neighbours
cornfield.
Oranges are said to be somewhat
higher temporarily, but they are of
excellent size and sweet. Lemons
from California are large. selling at
the same price they have in former
years. and are said TO be excellent
keepers. OF late it has not been on
sidered necessary TO get Sicily or
Messina lemons to get good stock, for
the California fruit is just as good.
And one couldn't get the foreign
stuff, anyway
Bananas are no higher in price
than formerly. This fruit is consid-
cred by many to be equal in food val
ne TO bread, and has become a fixture
on the American table along with
mince pie and pancakes. 1t is con.
sidered as cheap a food and forms q
variation of diet and a relief from q
monotonously steady diet of cooked
or baked foods. They have become
one of the greatest items of com.
merce into the country, and desery,

SUCCESSFUL FARMER
EAI...- SETTLER IN TOWN To
DAN-HIS FARM DESCRIBED
BY SOMEONE ELSE.

John Marquart. living northeast of
Rutland. was in Madison on one of
his infrequent visits. in company
with his daughters. today. In con
v~ersation he said that his crops are
looking well. and he expects the
usual large crop of small grains. He
has potatoes in blossom large
patch of them. which would delight
the eye of the food conseryationists-
and has corn reaching nearly TO the
knee. He claims the best crops i'm
the county. and he is credited with
saying truth.
Mr.. mdrquart came to Lake county
in 1878. He got what government
land he was allowed, bought some
more. anu kept it. He studied the
soils and crops anu how to make the
latter grow, and has evidently learn
ed the lesson that is so hard for
many 10 learn. For in all this eoun-
ty there is said to be no better cared
for land than that of John Marquart.
The farm is described by those
who know it as being one Of those
old. comfortable. plentifully fruitful
places frequently see in the east.
but seldom known in the west.
There are trees about the buildings.
large, comfortable and varied
kitchen. garden. berries and such
small fruits as the climate will allow
and care encourage. The buildings
themselves are roomy and well kept.
The produce from the wide fields is
usually stacked about the barn. and
he has learned that the use of the
%roughage thus secured pays for that
extra labor.
Mr.. Marquart says that up to this
year he has raised wheat every year.
He does not know why. but says that
this crop does not grow Well here
now, though he has kept his fertility
of soil up carefully. He sold three
carloads of potatoes last year,
though. at 50 a bushel. And he
manages to always have a little
something to sell every month.
Stock raising has not received so
much attention on his farm as has
grain farming proper. But his stock
is sufficient, and well cared for, and
contributes greatly to his preeminent
success.

M. Peters found a large snail in a

it is native to land it is a very large
one. and must have come from the
tropical country i'm which the bananas
were grown. If it comes from the
sea it must have invaded the storage
of the ship during passage very
unlikely proceeding. Snails are
grown in France as food, and great
farms of burdock are used for their
pasturage. One of the clerks for

NEWLYWEDS RETURN
UNPRETENTIOUS CONVEYANCE
USED-THEY ARE MET At
DEPOT BY FRIENDS

A touching tribute was paid to NJ.
Kramer and wife on their arrival
from Chicago at the end of their
bridal trip, when a crowd of Mr..
Kramer's friends met them at the
train this afternoon and conveyed
them uptown in a manure %spreader,
drawn by a team of mules. The
scene was very touching.
When ii became known that Mr..
Kramer and wife, whom he married
on the 9th of this month at Chicago.
was to return today, friends at once
began to bestir themselves to give
him a fitting welcome. A vehicle
was obtained which has heretofore
served in a very humble use only. and
was never mean to be used as a
bridal car. AS the couple stepped
from the train r. A. Keller and G..
l.. Winesburg escorted them through
the station to the waiting convey
ance. 1t required some little force to
persuade the reluctant pair to EN-
bark, especially as the band was ex-
ecuting "A Hot Time" and the
mules which furnished the motive
power under the direction of f. Muel-
Ter, would not stand still when de
sired. nor yet go ahead when all was
ready. But under the guidance oil
the aforementioned mentors the pair
was finally seated and the lowly
mules led carefully up the street as
far as First street N, where they
were taken in automobiles. The
band followed, playing stirring tunes
vociferously meantime.
Mr.. Kramer and Miss Freda Sam
uels were married June 6 at Chicago
since which time they have Travelled
and enjoyed themselves extensively
