Vegetables, fruits and berries of
all kinds are selling rapidly in
Rock Island these days.
Early melons are proving desir-
able. Cantalopes are beginning to
come in greater quantities now and
by next week the price is expected
to drop from two for 25 cents TO
three for the same price. Musca-
tine melons will not be in before
August.
The first carload of California
assorted fruits arrived this week
The load includes peaches, plums
and apricots. Both peaches and
apricots have been on the market
previous to this time, but were
small and green. The new Cali

Saner Method of Honoring Day
Predicted for Ensuing Years
BY Officials Here

ne LOL4pAS r Jul III
Rock q ISLANDERS started their cele-
bration of Independence day last
night. The booming Of frecrack-
ers and bombs was heard through
out the night. in spite of the fact
that the city commission sometime
ago barred the sale or use Of fire
works within the city limits. The
ban evidently was dropped yester-
day and today.
Throughout the morning the
crash and roar OF powder was heard
not only in the residence but in the
business district Small lads could
not withstand the temptation and
frecrackers were every place.
However, no large crackers were
permitted today. The dealers that
had supplies left from last year
sold only what the law allowed. The
absence Of the more elaborate dis
plays was evident
More Sane.
The city is gradually year by
year celebrating the day more
saneIy. Eventually ii is expected
by the Rock Island authorities tina
the use Of fireworks of any kiuC
will be barred or rather they vii
no longer be used by the residents
OF the city.
Tonight paper balloons, sky
rockets and the other sets ar
expected 10 be seen as is custom
ary. No municipal display Of fire
works is 10 be shown tonight a
has been done on previous Inde
pendence day nights.
