WHAT FOOD IS
COSTING YOU T0ADY

The first wagon load OF home grown
country watermelons that have been
purchased by the market house this
year were bought this morning. They
were placed on the market at from
20 to SO cents each. These melons
were purchased at 80 cents each for
the entire wagon load, and as some
are very small and others large the
prices had to be arranged accord
ingly.
Acting Marketmaster Sam Carter
all housewives who are plan

purchase their supply of peaches
now. He states that the market is
going down now very materially and
that the supply of peaches Is short
now and especially the Elherta va
riety. For this reason he states that
in his opinion those who walt very
much longer will get left entirely.
A load of this years new sweet po-
tatoes was purchased at the market
Thursday afternoon. This is the first
load of new potatoes. These are SELL

(By Mt. Clemens News Bureau)

Aboard President Wilson's Special
train-Carrying his war against those
who oppose the adoption by the Uni
ted States of the peace treaty and the
covenant of the League Of Nations in
to their households, President Wilson
last week invaded California.
And there, where the question on
which league opponents have ham,
mered the hardest, that of Shan Tung-
is of most interest, the president found
the same enthusiasm among the peo-
PIE for peace and for insurance
against future wars. The people want
the long controversy ended. They
want this country to be able to again
turn its undivided attention to social,
economic and industrial development.
Their leaders may not feel this way,
but judging from the expressions
which met the president on every side.
The leaders have overteDleed the

said, spent one million dollars an

it's struggle to saw civilization. All
this, however, fades into insight

the president. Russia gave l.

"These are terrible facts, and we
ought never to forget them. We went
into this war to do a thing that was
fundamental for the world and what I
have come out on this journey for is
to determine whether the country has
forgotten or not. I have found out.
The country has not forgotten and it
will never permit any who stands
in the way of the ful1llment Of our
great pledges, ever to forget the sor.
rowful day he made the attempt"
Arbitration and discussion, the pres.
ident pointed out. must replace force
of arms in the settlement of world
controversies. Constantly he dwells
upon the fact that all the nations in
the League agree to do one Of two
things, first to submit their differences
to arbitration, in which case they
agree to abide by the decision rem.
dered, or, If unwilling to arbitrate, to
have their case discussed by the Coun.
ell Of the League, in which case six
months is granted for discussion.
Three months must elapse following
the result Of this last step in arbitra-
tion. befSEgs the nation concerned can
declare war.

LEAGUE
Says, Ready for Action

The national office of the Non
partisan league has received the
following letter from an official
representative Of labor in South
ern California, under the date Of
May 20:
"Something over year ago I
wrote you as to the possibility Of
iyour organization coming into
this state to effect the organix;-
tion Of this state. Since that time
many and important changes
have come about here. Organic
c,} labor is now in a far better po-
sition to assist in such organlza-
ton.
II am just now very anxious to
know whether or not you have i'll
mind the advisability Of starting
a campaign in this state, and
whether or not you would wish
such assistance as could be given
you by any part Of labor.
Labor More Than Ready
81 can say to you that labor IN
this state, and especially in this
portion of the state, is more than
ready for action. We can, Of
course, go it alone. We would
be more effective with such CO.
operation as a great movement as
yours could add to our efforts.
''It is imperative that southern
California should be more fully
Informed as to the activities OF
your League. I am now conduct
ing a department for the Metal
Trades council in our local labor
paper. I should like to be able
to give an accurate and concise
