DUE TO WAR
HALT AMPH|THEATER
Contractor for Arlington Memorial
Hampered, Is Report Made by
Commission.

Difficulty has been encountered in
completion of the Arlington memorial
amphitheater. due to war conditions
that have impeded the construction
contractor.
THE subcontractors, who entered into
the present agreement before the dec
laration of war by the United States"
says a reference by the memorial COM
mission to the controller of the Treas
ury. have been subjected to unusual
financial difficulties and greatly in
creased expenses. The granite COM
pany, for instance. has passed into the
hands Of receiver, who is trying to
carry out this contract.
May Not Be Able to Survive Crisis.
"Ie states, however, that unless
money can be obtained on account of
materials already delivered the COM
pany may not be able to survive the
present crisis. Such an eventuallty
would greatly prejudice the interests
of the United States, as it would be
impracticable to procure elsewhere ma
terial to match the granite already de-
liyered. which was particularly Sc
lected for this work"
Controller w. w. Warwick sees no
reason why existing contracts may
not be modified to permit the payments
suggested.

Local Dealers Doubtful AS T1
Supply Of Fruits
This Year
PEACHES ALMOST NIL: I.
HARD WINTER CAUSE
Some Berries Exceptionally
Difficult To Get; Plenty
OF Pineapples

A local grocer, when asked to give
his opinion ON the canning outlook for
this season, summed up the whole
matter when he said that there was
mo outlook" The unusually cold
winter has created scarcity of prac
tically every kind OF fruit which the
housewife has heretofore canned for
winter consumption.
However. some Uf the smaller fruits
such as strawberries. raspberries and
tfackberries are about as plentiful as
usual, although II there is not a rain
very soon the strawberry crop will
fall short Of an otherwise plentiful
one. The dry weather of the past
few days has ruined several thou
sands of quarts of berries and the
price has advanced from 12k cents
to between lJ and 20 cents since Fri
day. last, and If those who are expect
ing to can any do not get them at
once, they will not only find them
scarce. but too high priced to put up.
Cherries, which generally arrive
here from other sections about this
time, are not ready yet to market,
and probably will be SO scarce that
very few can be obtained. The home
crop. upon which this community has
always depended, is complete fail
ure, the trees this year having failed
to blossom.
Now Is the time to can your pine
apples. according to all the local deal
ers. The crop Is plentiful this season,
according to r. w. Pitkin, and the
price is only about so cents per crate
higher than last year. due to higher
shipping rates and cOngested shipping
conditions, SO 1t would be advisable to
get pineapples this and next week to
make up for the lack Of other canning
stuffs.
Reports ON the blackberry crop
vary. Some say blackberries are
scarce In this locality, many plants
having been frozen out, while others
say they are more plentiful than u.s.
ual in some localities. Peter PierO,
representing the Mt. Vernon Fruit
Co, said to Banner representative
Monday that Ohio would produce It's
share of blackberries this season, the
crop being as large II not larger than
usual This is one Of the canning ma
terials not hard to put up and people
should watch the markets closely
and buy when II is at It's ebb and not
wait until the berries become scarce
again as they did with Strawberries
Raspberries are not so plentiful in
this locality as the blackberries, hav-
ing retailed last year for about 25
cents per quart, and although the out
look Is fair, 1t is not probable that
they will be any cheaper this year.
Ohio will produce only about 1919
of crop of peaches this year, while
Indiana and Illinois have no crop at
all. The southern crop is good, how.
ever, this season, Texas peaches be-
ting on the market now. although
these are not canning stock. About
the farthest point from which peach.
es are received is Michigan, which
has about 1870 crop, and Georgia,
with an 500 crop.
One has only to notice the orchards
as one drives through the country to
see that practically all OF the peach
trees are dead, due to the hard win
ter.
Plums are not raised to any extent
