Market Bureau Report
 U. S. Dept. Agriculture

Abundant - Carrots, apples, sweet fruit, parsnips, onions
 Norma1-Oranges pears, cut beets, squash, gra pes, lemons.
 Scarce-Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, caulif1ower. Yellow Turnips Cheap-Buy Potatoes.
 The frosts have put an end to the growth of root crops and the fall harvesting of vegetables and fruits that are kept in storage is about over.
 The yellow turnip or rutabaga is one of the cheapest of the root vege- tables and is in much better demand than the white turnips. As nearby growers only raised a limited amount of rutabaga this season most of them come from Long Island and Canada. The home grown product is the most sought, those from Canada often be- ing very large and coarse of fibre. Canadian varieties were whoIesaling at 1 A to 1 F c pound and the native product l A to Pc pound. Native white turnips have generally sold at 75c to s1.00 bushel for best stock.
 Plenty of carrots and parsnips are also available for storage purposes.
 -NdLIVe potatoes are scarce, many growers disposing of their crop early and the supply remaining on the farms Is relatively small compared with the usual amount stored Many of the growers are quoting s2 per bushel for winter potatoes as the price to the consumer in five busteI lots or more.
 Maine potatoes are plentiful and most of them are now arriving in good condition and may now be stor- ed. Long Island potatoes are also available at s3.50 to S3.75 sack con- taininas two bushels, or $1.75 to S1S7 1-2 hushel as the cost to the retail CT, and best Maine Green Mountain potatoes were quoted mostly at S1.75 bushal early this morning. Buying winter potatoes now may mean 8 constdera ble saving later in the sea- son aa 1t is the opinion among whole salers that potatoes are as cheap now as they will be this year.
 The following are wholesale prices The consumer should expect to pav on the average from 20 to 40 per cent above these prices to cover the re- tailers cost of doing business, and his legitimate profit.

For the fair-skinned woman, who delights in black gowns, this model will have 8 charm all it's own. Jet. in all its shimmering, glittering beau ty, Is f1ttingly displayed on a founda- ton of black net over silver cloth. Woven on the net are also found beautiful embroidered designs that relieve the plainness of the gown and set the jet off to better advantage. Of course, there are no sleeves and the neck is the popular round shape. A narrow band of jet is caught loosely around the waist, while the return of the train is evidenced in the two narrow panels that start at the shoul- der line and trail off gracefully a few inches below the bottom of the skirt.
 It is truly a gown of beauty and is sure to appeal to all fernininity.

guards, gained their objective, and
then beat off three separate and dis
tinct counter attacks. This was the
Hill Fight. \ fight that was cele-
brated throughout the division, and
earned for this company the title OF

Events moved fast from then on
to the end OF the war. Shortly after
the Hill Fight, the company was
taken back OF the lines for a short
rest, but November 5rd saw Bloody
X company again TO the front The
morning of that day the regiment
attacked at 8 a. m, but the Boche
had retreated during the night, and
all that day we drove steadily on un-
til the Meuse was reached, where
we dug in and awaited events. On
the night of 9th OF November, the
company forded the river, and with
the battalion, attacked at dawn the
morning of the llth. Eleven o'clock
