Strawberries. one of the harbingers
,ot spring in the food markets, have
made their appearance locally but at
prices that are high, even for this sea-
son OF the year. The prices quoted to-
day were % and 30 cents a pint.
Strawberries usually appear in the
local market In March, and some times
in February. The delay Is said to
have ben caused ny heavy rains and
floods In the southern growing dis
tricts that have delayed the ripening
of the crop and its movement to mar
kets. Es
The best berries are now coming
from Tennessee and Arkansas. but
the Missouri crop will soon be on the
market and few weeks later the
northern crop will make it's appear
ance. BY that time the season will be
In full swing. %%
Fresh Vegetables Very Nice.
Spring vegetables have been in the
market for some urne but as the sea
son gets nearer new varieties are
added and all the articles are much
nicer. The newest additions are
asparagus and rhubarb. The latter is
a real spring dish and will sell at 20
cents pound. Asparagus, which is
always a delicacy. will sell at IS and
20 cents bunch. with eight and nine
stalks to the bunch.
Radishes have gone down a little in
price. They were 121a cents a bunch
but are now quoted at 10 cents. Toma-
toes remain at 40 cents a pound and
there is no change in the prices of the
other vegetables altho a gradual de-
cline can be expected as spring
weather comes on. ...

Appoint Service Men
 To City Departments
MAYOR WOULD APPOINT THEM AS FIREMEN AND POLICE-MEN-FORTY FIVE VACANCIES
 AT PRESENT

The demand of the Bridgeport Times that veterans of the World War be given the preference in city vacancies exist in the police and fire political affiliations, has met with the approval of Mayor Wilson who en- dorsed this papers claim for recogni- tion of the service men today.
 You cannot state too emphatically that I favor the appointment on the police and fire departments of dis charged soldiers sailors and marines if their physical condition meets the standard requirements of those de- partments. I favor every bit of such policy"
 This was the mayors reply when he was asked to go on record in the matter for The Times The quail fication as to the physical fitness of the men was in the question which was put to the mayor. it being un- derstood that the eX-servicemen do not desire consideration when they are not the equals, physically or oth- erwise, of those who are their compe- titors. The fact is that by far the larger number of discharged service men are physically fit for the ap- pointments to the two departments.
 The announcement of the mayor following the publication yesterday in the Times of the information as to forty-five vacancies in the police departme and the probable appoint ment of some members next week, will give heart to many idle vets.

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN ASKS
 TIE ANNULED

Stating that she was only 1s years old when she was married and there fore did not realize the seriousness of the contract, Marion F. Nicholas of this city has filed papers in the Supe- iror court asking that her marriage to Michael G. Nicholas of this city be annulled.
 The girl states that she and Nich- olas, who is 21 years old. were welded October 25, 1918. As the bride did not think her father would approve of her action in rushing into matriTnony she and Nicholas eloped. She says her father, Ernent l.. IAmpson, did not consent to the marriage and that she and her husband have not lived to- gether since the ceremony.
 Judge Curtis said the mere fact that the brides father had disapproved the marriage would not be sufficient ground for annulment.
 He reserved decision on the point that the girl was too young to know what a serious step she was taking.

bus, Ohio, July 11-"The moneyed men of the United States interested in Mexico are united to work with the inter-church move ment to conserve the child life of Mexico and Latin-American countries to make possible a greater civiliza- ton in those states,' according to Dr. Norman Bridge, millionaire philantro- phist, attending the Pan-American exercises of the Methodist Centenary Exposition here.

 We are impressed with the enor- nous havoc among children since the Mexican revolution began" said Dr. Bridge. There are -1,50O.0OO or phans. Disease takes them by thous- ands. These children can be saved
 We are greatly impressed with the work of the missionaries in Latin America and Mexico because they are trying to get hold of the youth, es- pecially the boys, to get them started right. That means in ten years a new generation of forceful powerful men.
 Therefore some of us business men thought we could join forces with the missionaries of all churches to help save thousands of those chill dren- This much would help all ed- ucational, medical and religious work and would emanate from a non-sec- tarian group"

To Resume Trade Relations
 With Germany immediately
SECRETARY POLK MAKES IT CLEAR TRADING WITH ENEMY ACT NOT ABROGATED-

Washin gton, July 11-Tra de be- tween the United States and Ger many will be resumed imme ediately, Acting Secretary Polk of the state department announced today.
 MT. Polk said blanket licenses would be issued, but that dyes. chem icals and potash would be excepted. Control over trade in these commo- dities will be exercised by the repara- ton committee under the terms of the peace treaty. A formal nn- nouncement regarding resumption of trade relations, was promised within 4S hours.
 Secretary Polk made 1t clear that of trade relations with Germany did not abrogate the trading with tho enemy act nor was it to be taken as meaning that the state of war was at an end.
 Mr. Mccormick, who returned from Paris with President Wilson, said there would be virtually complete freedom of trade, subject to the limit of cred- it's which Germany might be able to establish.
 Dyes and certain other commodities will be excepted, however. as under terms of tho peace treaty trade in these is to be controlled by the repa- ration commission,

FIVE BLG PACKING FIRMS
 SEEKING DOMINATION OF
 FOOD OUTPUT OF NATION
FEDERAL COM DENOUNCES BIG FIVE WHO CONTROL NOT ONLY MEAT SUPPLY BUT DEAL IN BANJO STRINGS, CUREED
 HAIR, TOMATOES AND PEPSIN.

Washington, July ii-An approaching packer domination of all important foods in the United States and an interna- tional control of meat products with foreign companies seems a certainty unless fundamental action is taken to prevent it, the federal trade commission de- clared today in part one of its report to President Wilson on the "extent and growth of power of the five packers in meat and other industries"
 "A fair consideration of the course of the five packers have followed and the position they have already reach ed" said the report, must lead to the conclusion that they threaten the freedom of the market of the coun- try's food industries and of the by product industries linked herewith. The meat packer control of other foods will not require long in devel- oping.

IN CANNED FOODS
 LEFT TO SPOIL

Washington, July 11-An amazing story of the influence eXerted by the packers and affiliated food kings over the War Department, which has re- suited in blocking the sale of millions of dollars worth of foodstuffs no longer needed by the army and in holding this food in storage so long that much of 1t has rotted, is gradu- ally being unfolded here by the special Congressional committee in vestigating War Department eXpen- ditures during the war.
 With the cost of living at an un- heard-of level, with prices threaten ing to rise still higher. the War De- partmen it is now revealed, has kept in storage during the eight months since the signing of the armistice an admitted surplus of 75,oOO,O 900 pounds of bacon, 5SO, 1000 pounds of ham.
