N.A't- D~A
 Fairfield County Court House. Tel. Barnum T011.
 Bridgeport. Conn.,,
 July 23. 1919.
 Prepared by the City Marketing Agent, U. s. Department of Asr1cuI- rure Bureau of Markets, Connecticut Agricultural College, cooperating.
 ABUNDANT.-Carro watermelon, cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, sum- mer squash, peaches, plums.
 NORMAL.-Bananas lemons, or anges, onions, bluebe1ries, lettuce, cantaloupes, green beans, sweet corn.
 SCARCE-CeIery, peas, apples, cur rants, raspberries, native tomatoes bIackberries.
 Vegetable Bargains for the Day.
 Many vegetable which were too high in price for the average consum- CT to buy freqeuntly a week or two ago, may now be bought almost daily. Perhaps the most noticeable reduc- ton has been on cabbage, which has dropped as much as 75c to SIPS a barrel below the prices received by growers ten days ago. Carrots are also somewhat lower, and summer squash is now to be recokned among the vegetable bargains Native sweet corn could be purchased by re- tailerS this morning at 30 to 36c dozen ears, or about Sc a dozen ears lower than last week. Beets and string beans have apparently reached the bottom prices.
 New Jersey Tomatoes vs- Native To-
 matoeS.
 Housewives looking for fancy to- matoes at reasonable prices will be disappointed. New Jersey has been supplying most of the tomatoes dur ing the past few weeks, but wet weather has damaged the crop. They have been arriving in such poor con- dition that many dealers have ceased to handle New Jersey tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are not p1en- tiful as yet, and very little fancy stock is available. High prices are being asked for the native product. They are costing retailers from s3 to s35O per 14 quart basket containing about 25 pounds or at 12 to 14c pound.
 The following are wholesale prices. The consumer should expect to pay on the average from 20 to 40 per cent above these prices to cover the retail CTS cost of doing business, and his legitimate profits. | Wholesale Prices Paid by Retailers Today with Same Prices On Small MeaSrue. 1 Vegetables Beets. native, 5O-eoc dog. punches; l 4-5c bunch.

what we mean
The northern part OF Ireland was
coloniged hundreds OF years ago by
settlers from Scotland. They have
preserved TO a great degree the habits
and qualities OF their ancestors. Even
the names have survived. McGoverns,
McCoys and McDermotts reveal their
origin in their prefixes. A Mccormack
is of a different stock from that OF an
O'Connor.
The Scotch are essentially n race
OF ambitious toilers. THY are not
ably nation OF machinists. Nearly
every marine engine room on the
ocean contains a Scotchman.
What wonder. then. that the north
of Ireland is dotted with wealthy
manufacturing towns? And what
wonder that the south of Ireland
wants to help divide the income7
The south OF Ireland contains the
same stock that came there two
thousand years ago, reinforced
little, perhaps, by the British, or Gel
tie races who fled thither when the
Scandinavians and German Saxons
made their conquests. They have
preserved till today too much of the
conditions that existed then. The
northerners decided to do otherwise.
The Irish population is as complex
as the Irish question. without crit
icising the qualities of the southern
ers. one OF which-an intense love OF
freedom--shows how high they can
rise, we must concede that they have
not made their end OF the island
counterpart OF the north I'm industry
or wealth. although they have exactly
the same political privileges. and more
than the same political representa-
tion as any other citizens OF the Brit
ish Empire. Which are facts to be
borne In mind when we undertake to
determine offhand all the Irish prob
lens that we have not yet begun to
understand.

City bosses who are waiting for
