VEGETABLES PRICES LOW
IN D. C. ALL LAST WEEK

The weekly market review Of the
bureau of markets. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, says: The
greater part of the seasonal vegetables
have sold at remarkably low prices
throughout last week. Very few Of
the so-called war prices" can be
found among the vegetables. Two of
these, onions and cabbage. are un-
doubtedly netting the farmers les
Than the actual cost of production.
Several others. including potatoes
spinach, squash, turnips and celery.
may be considered low In price ana
are generally selling at pre-war prices.
Citrus Fruits Take Big Drop.
The recent extremely high prices of
oranges and lemons have given way to
more reasonable prices. Lemons have
dropped from 80 to 40 per cent during
the week and oranges from 20 to 30
per cent. Grapefruit can now be had
at reasonable prices, from to.<19
cents each, according to size. The
Increasing receipts of grapefruit in
cIndinr the first car lot arrival from
Snba. have caused slightly lower
prices.
Spinach Season at Height
The local spinach season reached its
height during the past week. nuf indi--
nIy for the coming week. Consumers
WHSo desire to can a supply Of this re-
freshing vegetable for winter use
should do 30 without delay. The aT.
rivsl Of hard frosts will soon greatly
reduce the supply. J - z
Sweet Potatoes Higher.
The only two important products on
the produce market to show advances
in. price have been sweet potatoes and
cranberries. and these advances have,
not been large. Sweet potatoes have
advanced about SO cents per barrel or
|5 cents per peck. whilc cranberries
show an advance OF / to cents pei

ries is due in large measure to th.

that this is war Of Christianity

Europe can never forget. William of
Germany did not hesitate to tell his
soldiers TO wage war in such a way
that like the Huns, they should not
be forgotten. And the name sticks,
the modern Huns have followed their
masters instructions. Who doubts
now that Germany planned this war
and would have it? We have had
