norma, amounting TO about two
thirds of the current movement OF
new-crop potatoes.
Onions Fairly Steady
The onion market continues weak
at 75c to SLIPS per SO pounds for
southern yellow stock. Wet weather
in northern Texas is checking the
output from that section, and ship
ments are at about one-half the rate
of the same time last year. Southern
and eastern peas are in liberal sup
ply and low priced, except for the
best quality, and the prevailing job
bing range is SOC to 81 per bushel.
California peas are in moderate sup
ply at steady prices from $3.50 TO
$2.25. String beans sell at 81 to
$1.75 per bushel.
The tomato output is active from
Texas and Mississippi, and prices
rather weak in producing sections.
Northern markets quote jobbing
sales $3.50 to $2.25 per bushel. Wes-
tern lettuce has been selling at So to
$4 per crate and eastern zoe to 40c
per eastern crate. Western carrots
have been selling high under light
receipts, the price exceeding Sc per
crate at some points. Cabbage is in
heavy supply and meeting slow de-
mand at this season. Tennessee is a
leading source of supply. Tennessee
cammage sells at SIPS to $1.75 per
crate, down 1Oc to SOC from the week
before. Other lines of southern cab
bage ranged 40c to Csc per hamper
with weak, irregular price trend.
Strawberries Selling Well
Demand for Strawberries of good
quality has been brisk this season,
but price trend has been irregular
in times of heavy supply. Recent
falling-off in carlot shipments has
strengthened the position little but
many markets are heavily supplied
from local sources. Prices vary
widely according to variety and con-
dition from &c to tic, quart basis,
and $1.75 to 81 per crate, in pro-
ducing sections.
Not many sales of apples are re-
ported but prices are about steady.
9 few southern blueberries and
blackberries, mostly ordinary quail
ity, are in the market. Receipts of
California cherries and plums are
increasing. Peaches. the Georgia and
North Carolina early varieties sell
from $3.50 to $225 per half-bushel
basket in northern markets. Supply
is light and demand fair at southern
shipping points.
Melons are in moderate supply and
prices fairly steady at 40c to soc
wholesale in northern markets and
$3.50 to $40O per carload in produc-
ing sections. General price level OF
melons is near that of last season.
Western cantaloupes are increasing |
rapidly in supply and prices are de-
clining.

Life Insurance And
Initiation

Writing on the highly important
subject of life insurance and infia-
ton, E. w. Marshall, vice president
OF the Provident Mutual, recently
said: Even IL we felt positive that
extreme imitation were ahead. the
probabilities of coming through sat
isfactorily with speculative invest
ments are so very small. and the
risk of loss of principal is so great,
that II would seem wiser to take the
chances involved In conservative in
vestments. In other words, reas-
enable course for the policy holder
or the potential purchaser OF life IN
surance would be to play safe. II
extreme imitation should come he
would probably be better off. II 1t
does not come. as Ia practically cer-
tain to be the case, II would be
greatly to his advantage to rave ad-
hered to his life insurance program"
This view is held by other author
tiles. Nothing can safely be used to
serye In place of life insurance.

for Safe and Sane Fourth" in re-
cent years. the impression has been
created that heavy fireworks casual
ties are thing of the past, that the
few reported deaths are attributable
to gross carelessness in handling
high powered explosives rather than
to common firecracker.
This is denied by the Society for
the Prevention of Blindness, which
in 1885. with funds provided by the
Association of Fireworks Manufac-
turers, conducted a study of such
casualties covering AZ states. This
showed that at least 1876 persons
were injured and at least 80 persons
killed in celebrating the Fourth of
July that year with fireworks and
the accompanying paraphernalia,
such as bOnfires and matches. The
words lat least 'are used, because the
figures do not include the injured
and killed whose names were not in
the newspapers, nor those who died
some time later as the result of an
apparently minor injury incurred on
the Fourth.

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Trading In fruits and vegetables Ii
reported slow to fairly active at the
large markets early In the second
week of June. Carlot receipts meet
sharp and increasing competition
from home grown produce at this
season. Shipments in early June
were increasing moderately but
were slightly less than for the same
time last year, says the Bureau oi
Agricultural Economics.
Gains the first week OF June were
mainly in new potatoes, which in
creased one-fourth compared with
late May, and were still heavier the
following week. There were also
sharp gains in shipments of cabbage,
lettuce, peaches, plums, and toma-
toes. Melon shipments doubled and
cantaloupe output was four times
that of the preceding week. There
were sharp decreases for beans. car
rots, caulifiower, celery, grapefruit,
oranges, peas, and strawberries.
Prices of most products are still
declining, including cantaloupes, let
tnce, caulifiower, cabbage, and to-
matoes, but prices of potatoes, on
ions, melons, and strawberries hold
up fairly we'll.
Potato Market Weak *
The potato markets are irregular
with a few recoveries and some fur
ther declines on No. l stock as COM
pared with the sharp downward
trend early In the month. General
jobbing range of southern stock Is
$3.50 to 50 per 400 pounds and
southern shipping points quote
SLIPS to $1.35.
The northern potato shipping sea-
son is nearly over. The total prob
ably will be near $4,000 carloads.
against $4,000 last season. Most OF
the States shipped more potatoes
this season. Maine approaches 5O,-
900 carloads and Idaho exceeded 2S,-
900. The largest percentages of gain
were for Pennsylvania, Long Is
land, Washington, and Oregon. The
large decreases were in Minnesota,
and North Dakota, which shipped
less than half as many cars as for
the previous season. Shipments of
early potatoes are not yet complete.
but have exceeded last seasons total
by about one-third. Maine Is still
shipping a few hundred cars a week.
Other northern states seem nearly
done shipping.
The price at Prosque Isle has
ranged $3.50 to $1.7O per 100 pounds
lately and city markets reported
jobbing sales at 50 to s2.25. A few
midwestern potatoes were selling at
So or more. Potato shipments the
first week of June exceeded 6.700

America Hears and ANSWERS
By Billy Walls

Forget them not! as years go by,
On our remembrance they rely
They are MANNED death did deny
Its solace-crippled and blind they
try
To find on earth the peace they know
In Flanders Fields"
Forget them mott" This state
ment is made by the lonely fathers
and mothers who are proud of their
sons who went and never returned
In body but they still live in spirit
to their fathers and mothers the
world over as the years go by.
Many of the ones who returned to
their homes have to spend their
lives in a wheel chair, helpless and
dependent. The men are humiliated
and feel as if they are useless to
society, and too helpless to make a
living. The one thing which gives
them g chance of feeling that they
too are independent and of use is the
making of poppies. These invalids
sit in their wheel chairs and make
these silk and paper poppies months
ahead of Poppy Day.
In 1914 the World War in Europe
was an occasion for receiving med
ais, honors, spick and span uni
forms, but the sight they remember
is bursting shells and comrades be-
ing wounded, suffering. The only liv-
ing nature product was the bright
red poppies In that place of terror
and desolation. When everything
else of natures work was dead,
these flowers we're the only living
things to survive that place of the
dead, wounded, sugering soldiers.
This flower and no other should be
the symbol of the dead boys. This
flower tried to cover with beauty the
dead. Worn by you and me 1t will
help to cover the scars left by the
war in the lives of these men.
The men in the hospitals, who are
the makers of these flowers, need
the money they earn. We who are
able to see, walk and think clearly,
should buy gladly one of the men,
orial flowers of the boys who died
for their country and freedom.
The boys are calling and America !
shall answer them by buying the |
poppies.

That Tragic Word
By Ruth Webb

War! War! War! This word was
on the tongues and in the hearts of
every American citizen back in
1914. Weeping wives clung to their
husbands, children clung to their IA
theirs with tear-stained faces and
kissed them their last goodbye. Mo-
theirs clung to their boys and beg
ged of God to protect them.
There were 4,272,521 courageous
ones who marched away to serve
their country although ii might
mean their lives. There they fought,
watching close relations. who were
very dear to them, being killed or
wounded in action.
After many long months of grief,
misery. and pain they came home.
Joy reigned in homes. Children
cried with joy. Flowers burst into
bloom. The sun shone brightly for
those who were again to see their
beloved ones. But there were 7S.S13
gallant ones who had been killed and
1872, ,483 who had been wounded. For
their families, the sun did not shine
nor flowers bloom. In their hearts
was great grief because their boys
would never come home.
But for the wounded a national
organization of American veterans
was organized. In veteran hospitals
many of those wounded veterans are
making poppies so they can earn a
penny for each poppy they make to
support their wives and children at
home and to help honor their COM
rades who gave their lives so gal
lantly for their country.
So, true American citizens, don't
you think that when the drums beat
and the flag of the red, white and
blue waves and guns are shot,
couldn't you spare small sum for
poppy to help those veterans and
to honor our noble soldiers who gave
their lives while fighting for our
country?
