lions to this rule in this country are
the numerous varieties of garter or

In these the eggs are retained within

Confederation Articles
and u. S. Constitution

The articles of confederation con-
ferred upon congress none but the
delegated powers and recognized th~
absolute sovereignty of the stateE,
notes q writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Aside from the right to make war
and peace. regulate foreign inter
course, receive and send ambassadors,
control and coinage of money. and set
tie disputed boundaries, congress had
no power to act without the consent
of nine of the states, each casting one
ballot. 1t could not levy taxes. and
before 1887 the war debt had de-
stroyed the financial reputation of the
United States abroad.
The states were divided In their In
terests, and at the last Colonial con-
gress but eight Of the states sent dele
gates. Not the least of the weak
nesses of the confederation was the
nonprovision of chief magistrate, or
for a national judiciary.
To meet these needs it was found
necessary to frame new Constitu-
ton, Systematically organizing per-
manent form of government
This document arranges the powers
OF government under three heads

places the supreme power in the peo-
pie of the whole country, instead OF

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES


Lighter cariot supplies Of produce
the past few weeks resulted mainly
from the usual rapid late spring
decrease in movement Of old pota-
toes, sweet potatoes, apples, and car
rOts. There was a let-up In ship
ments Of citrus fruits. Lettuce
movement increased sharply the last
week of April. Southern tomatoes
continue active and prices low. Sup
plies of peas, peppers. beets, and
strawberries also are increasing, but
Louisiana strawberry movement is
lighter than expected. Asparagus is
becoming abundant and prices are
lower. Moderate supplies from New
Jersey and Pennsylvania we're avail
able i'm eastern markets.. Price trend
of most produce was downward, or
at best fairly steady, around the first
OF May.
The potato market continued weak
and there were further slight price
declines early in May, owing to
heavy shipments and slow trading.
Many dealers expect prices to con-
tinue low through the remainder Of
the season, since new-crop potatoes
from the South are coming to north
ern markets in fairly heavy volume.
Receipts from Florida, Alabama. and
Louisiana are increasing steadily
and prices dropped 15c to SOC a
bushel in city markets and in pro-
ducing sections.
Sweet potatoes we're in moderate
supply in eastern markets and were
principally from New Jersey. De-
maRd was fair and prices slightly
higher New Jersey yellows sold at
$3.50 TO $3.50 bushel. The half
bushel basket pack from New Jersey
is becoming more popular this sea-
SON than the usual bushel pack.
