GERMAN MAIDS LACK
 FURNITURE TO MARRY

Columbus, Ohio, July 9-Is Stahl stalling?
 This question was asked here when local residents received letters from J. Stah, Dusiburg, Germany, estimat- ing that more than 100000 German women are minus husbands and are devoid of facilities for beating them.
 Due directy to the superior marks manship of Aied sodiers during the recent Word War. Stah said, these women have not had an opportunity to marry
 Not ony are marriages in Germany as scarce as snowdrifts in Juy, but a shortage of furniture, also is held re- sponsible, in part, for the dearth of marriages.
 Prompt accommodation was as sured by Stah1 in the event that any person desiring a German wife would write him.

THE M AR KET
 SKE.T'
By JESSIE WETZEL KNOTT, UnternatfonaI News Service).

Do you know how to select cante- Ioupe at the market? A local market man of wide experience told me the other day that the net of the rind was an almost infa1Iible guide. The hea- vier the net, the more fully mature the melon- "A light net,'' he said, "is almost always a sign of immatur- ity" In the long list of varieties. only one does not net, the Osage Gem, Michigan melon, which will not be on the market for several weeks yet. Many canteloupes are coming in from California
 The peach crop does not promise much to the housewife who is plan ming to have peach butter, peach pre- serves and the piquant spiced peaches next winter. Just now we are be tween the early and late crop of first of the late crop, are beginning to come in, and the early Albertas will be here in about two weeks While these are small it would not be a bad idea to plan to can some of them. as the late freeze did much havoc to the peach crop in Illinois and Michigan, and not many peaches are expected. Colorado and Utah have about a 60 per cent crop, but much of that will be absorberd in the west
 Oranges and lemons are high, but
  ing a, big demand for them-
 The peak of the strawberry season is past If you want to can any take what the market offers as soon as possible. Berries are coming in exclusively from Michigan - twenty carloads came in by boat yesterday. it promised early in the Spring, on account of that beIated frost that robbed us of many fruits and flo werS.
 Good asparagus is coming in from Alton and Ottawa
 Hothouse cucumbers still outnun- Der the field-gTown varieties, al- though the latter have started com ing into the local markets from Flo rida and Louisiana
 Iceburg lettuce is being shipped from Washington at is expensive, much more expensive than the home grown varieties, but it is sweet and crisp that the demand continues good
 Cabbage, beans and onions are plentiful. The onions are cheap sell ing for not much more than half what they were a year ago. In some of the markets they are retailing for as little as cents a pound. Use them freely.
 A few old potatoes are coming into the market from Michigan and Min nesota- Usually they have diSco1tin- ued shipping by this time. New pota- toes from South Carolina and Vir- ginfa are plentiful and reasonable.
 Florida is sending some excellent watermelons, sweet and good, and for another two weeks it will be the oII4y State represented on the water melon counter. Then, however, Georgia and Texas will begin ship ping, with Oklahoma close behind.
 A few curranta have arrived from Tennessee. Mississippi is shipping blueberries and blackberries.

Cabbage And
 Beets Plentiful

The Public Market opened June 1st on the Plaza, has been very much of a success. From Is to 40 growers of veget ables are at the market every morning with large loads of fine fresh vegetables. Just now there is a plentiful supply Of cabbage and beets which are selling at very req sonab1e prices Snap beans are on the market and will be quite plenti- full by the end of the week. Some splendid offerings of summer squash, kohlrabi, lettuce and few native onions were on the market to- day.
 Consumers. now is the time of year to go lightly on heavy meats and to increase the quantity of vege- tables in your diet The change is beneficial both to your health and pocketbook.. Fresh vegetables carry large amounts of the health giving vifamines. The market was started with the idea of furnishing an op- portunity to buy fresh vegetaofes more cheap1y than is possible through the ordinary channels
