Few housewives seem to realize that
one of the cheapest fruits on the market
today is the apple.; Price and quality
considered, now is the time to buy
apples. '
Other years at this time apples were
almost twice as high as this season.
Good quality eating apples should retail
for $1.50 up, ' while cookers should be
even lens. This is the first time in three
Qr four years that the price has been so
low. Larger varieties are inclined to
be scarce and a little higher in price.
Medium Rises are plentiful and cheap.

eggs was weak, an advance of 2 cents

In Wake of Dry Law
In Chicago Inquiry
Chicago, Feb. 21. -(U. P.) The law
of compensation will be enforced, i
If men and women can't get liquor
they wilt have their little fling some
other way.
Prohibition has put pep and jaza in
dancing, according to the report of the
Juvenile Protective association of. Chi
cago. Fifty dance hall proprietors said
the association was right.
Immoral dances are permitted at 70
per cent of the dance halls investigated.
The association found an increase of ap
proximately 20 per cent, compared with
pre-prohibition times.
"Instead of saying, 'It was my first
drink.' the girls who come to the Lown
dale hospital now say 'It was my first
dance,' " said the Rev. John P. Brush
ingham of the morals commission.
Dr. James Whitney Hall, noted alien
ist, said dances would undoubtedly be
come more risque as the lid is further
tightened;

There are about 600,000 cars
hi California, with an average an
nual tire upkeep of JlOO. If all
roads used were hardsurfaced, a
saving of 12,000,000 annually
would appear in favor of the
resilient, bituminous type of
pavement, because there is at

resilient pavment than over one
that is rigid. Resiliency is one of
