MARKET CONDITIONS.

There were few changes in the quota tions of barrel and basket apples The trade was generally easier on the average good quality stock. The demand for cranberries continues generally good. Ehe receipts of cabbages are excessive and sales on this product are being forced at every opportunity. Bags and barrels of cabbages are being forced out from stores at any price obtainable. There were few red cabbages on the market. and they were selling we'll Sweet potatoes sell rather slowly and the demand just lat present is insufficient to clear offerings. Fowls and chickens continues to be plenti- ful and the prices are low on all poultry now. Due to the fact that so many are stored away, prices are being sustained. Turkeys are scarce this year and as there are large supplies of fowl on the markets it is reasonable therefore to expect a good demand for turkeys this season. The iarnb market was slightly higher. There was an easier tone to the lard market.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

AWAkES.
 Good habits formed in childhood follow us throughout life. Those who: learn, while they are children. not to think of what they do not like. acquire a, good habit. A good habit formed during schooIdays is often the foundation of the fortune which comes to many in later life. *-'.
 Youth is the time when most of our habits are formed Children should be very careful to acquire only those habits which are beneficial and which serve to mould character. The boy who negIects to polish his shoes. brush his teeth, comb his hair, and who continues to neglect these essentials of neatness and cieann- ness will probably carry himself in the same slovenIy manner when he grows up.
 Laziness, indifference and the T don't care" spirit should be shunned. Be prompt in everything you do. Don't wait until the last minute to do what you know must be done.
 If you cultivate the habit of being cheerful and obedient how much different everything will be for you in your life. Be quick to do kind acts and slow to do mean acts. and then the habit of mean ness will have no chance to develop. Good habits will make you thoughtful and useful. while bad habits, viii make you thought.ess and useless.
 Another good habit to cultivate is that of thrift. All of you have heard of the thrift stamps which Uncle Sam has ,beea selling for several years now These thrift stamps were sold in large mum bers to children during the great war and thcough them many children have learned theI.va1ue of saving money. This plan of saving pennies is an excellent one. for it teaches children the value of money and forms the foundation for . bank account which every boy. and girl will find great help in making success of life. in later years. =. !, :.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child's Hair With

If you want TO keep your child's han
in good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (which is pure and entirely
greaselessl, is much better than any.
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoonfuis
of MuIsified in a cup or glass with a
little warm water, then moisten the
hair with water and rub ii in. II will
make an abundance of rich, creamy
father, and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle Of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
1t fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months
Be sure your druggist gives you Aulsi-

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
NEARLY At TOT
Largely Due to Roger Hornsby's Eat
ting-He Whacked His 72d HON.
err With Two on Bases.

1 New York, July 1.-THE rampaeinl
/ st. Louis Cardinals were half game
nearer the league-leading New fcrl
/ Giants to-day as a result OF another
devastating attack by Rogers Hornsby
and his big bat The great second
sacker's 22d homer of the season with
two on bases clinched the Cardinals
seventh straight and fifth in row over
the Brooklyn Dodgers four to one.
The Giants pommelled Pittsburgh
twirlers for % hits and 10 to 2 vic
tory in the first game, but lost TO
decision to the Pirates in the sec
ond contest. The Singing achievement
OF the winners in the first game is one
better than the American league mark,
held jointly by Detroit and Philadel-
phia, but is eight less than the old
National league record set by Philadsi-
phia against Louisville in 1894 and
three below the modern record estab-
lished by the Giants in 1901 against
Cincinnati.
The Chicago Cubs took their fifth
straight from Boston. to 0, and
strengthened their hold on third place
as Brooklyn continued its slump.
Two records almost unique in the
annals of the game marked Detroit's
to triumph over Washington. Eaen
Of the ten Tigers in the lineup regis
tered one hit while the Washington
outfield scored only a single put out,
Shanks making the lone catch.
st. Louis was unable to gain on the
Yankees, who were idle, the Browns
dividing their third straight double
header with Boston, taking the first in
l3 innings, 5 to 4, and dropping the Sec
ond, to 3. incidentally five of the
six games have been decided by a single
run. The leaders start an important
series with New York to-day with
margin of game and half at the
top.

Two Sides of Turnover

to create consumer demand and
consumer preference. With this de-
mand as fact all selling plans have
a chance to succeed. Without it they
fail. The only chance for salesman
ship to succeed without an existing
demand is for craftsmanship to assume
the task that belongs to advertising
the task of creating demand.
If the present efforts that are being
put into selling were amply supported
by corresponding effort to create
consumer demand through Advertis-
ing, the business conditions of this
country would be rapidly changed
into an era of great prosperity-in
spite of Old World conditions and
everything else.
The proof of this is in the fact
that right now, under these very con-
ditions, the manufacturers who are
putting proper emphasis on creating
a demand for their product, as well as
selling it, are doing big business and
are actually getting the high turnover
that others are trying so strenuously
to get through intensive selling.
