S-3hc c & pound, The supply of local vegetables. Is adequate so that every Bridgeport housewife should serve fresh vegetables in some form twice daily and cut down on other commod- flies which can be used by our fight Ing forces. Potatoes continue about the same, about 50-6Oc a eek for southern new stock and soc peck for locally grown potatoes. Some Early Rose varieties ares cling at $5.50 a barrel or soc a peck. Peaches are the most plentiful fruit On the Bridgeport market. Heley Belles, the popular fine favored freestone peach are practically gone and Georgia Bellies are fast following. Elbertas are coming in in increasing quantities and will soon dominate the entire peach market. At present fine quail ity peaches are costing the retailer $2.75-S.25 a crate of 24 quarts or about 10A -13c a quart. Poorer grades can be bought below these figures.
 Southern apples, Red Astrachans, Yellow Trapsparents and Duchess of Oldenburgs are coming in in small quantities, and some are bringing the wholesaler from $2.25-3.25 a hamper of about 2S quarts or approximately 8-111kc a quart. California canta- loupes arep lentiful and reasonable at 9-10c Glch wholesale. Currants are fast going, a few crates today selling at 17-18c a quart. Jersey tomatoes are a cheap and apetizing vegetable, costing the retailer $1.75-2.00 a crate or about 6-7c a pound.

 TELEPHONE BOOK COVERS.

The telephone book can hardly be said to be an attractive accessory of the home, but it is, nevertheless, quite a necessity in many houses and it must be kept in a convenient place. Some have made attractive covers for 1t, so that it may be kept in plain sight, within easy reach of all who would consult it without it's being a blot on the picture. Another device, which has been tried out in some country houses, is worthy of consid- eration. That is a tin holder divided into two sections in order that it may hold two books, rectangular affair, open at one broad side, which comes at the top when the box is affixed to the walls, as it is by two small bands of the tin which are screwed to the woodwork near the telephone.
 One such box was enameled a glossy black with border of soft rose pink painted on it, about a quarter of an inch or so wide. A graceful spray of flowers in a sort of soft, misty effect was painted on the front of the case, and there it hung, close up against the wall as neat as could be. Since the upper edge of each side of the two compartments was hollowed out some what, so that it was an easy matter to grasp the volume and pull it out
 this was a highly convenient arrange ment, as well as truly attractive ad- dition to the fittings of the country house. It would be an easy matter to decorate a similar box, to carry out
 whatever color scheme one might de 1 sire to use.

SIR FREDERICK E. SMITH.

Sir Frederick Edwin Smith, former ly Solicitor-General of Great Britain, and before that official censor of the war news bureau and "eye witness" with the British army at the front. will be forty-six years old today. Sir Frederick received the honor of knighthood upon his elevation in May, 1915 to the post of Solicitor General, one of the two great law offices of the Crown. He has been described as ''the cleverest man in England" and as a Unionist politician he has lived up to that reputation. At the begin ming of the war he was made direc- tor of the official press bureau of the war office; then he was ordered to the front, and afterwards became So- licitor- General. Sir Frederick g father was in his youth a private in the ranks, but by his own ability he became a barrister. The son car ried everything before him at school and at Oxford, winning every scholar ship for which he competed. After leaving college he became a member of the bar and built up a legal prac- tice which before he entered official life was said to give him a larger Income than any other English bar rister. In 1906 he entered the House of Commons, and soon gained such prominence in the ranks of the Opposition that he was assured ot cabinet rank in the event of a return of the Unionists to power. He was the bitter political enemy, but the close personal friend, of Winston Churchill. As "eye witness" at the front the newspapers looked upon him with much more favor than they hai when he was censor.

The Board of State Affairs at Baton
Rouge has issued circular letter to
the School Boards of the parishes un-
der date OF December IS, from which
the following excerpt is taken:
1.-THE constitutional amendments
adopted In November will insure the
schools permanent and largely in
creased revenue.
"You will receive from the State
your plo rata share of the ~ mills
Statewide tax for schools, SO that
you should obtain twice as much
money from this source as you have
been receiving heretofore. The police
jury must turn over to the school
board the proceeds of the ~ mills
tax out OF the mills that they are
authorised to levy.
"In addition thereto, the police jury
IL required to levy l Il mills for schools,
unless you certify to them that the
same is not necessary, so that the
total parish wide tax for schools will
amount to three mills on full valua-
ton, which will be equivalent to al
most double what you have been re-
ceiving from this source heretofore"
