Fresh Vegetables
Are Abundant on
The Local Market
Fresh eggs have dropped nearly 10 cents
on the dosen In the last week.- The balmy
prlng weather, of course, Is responsible.
After the cold of the winter, the first
warm weather makes biddy think of egg
laying and she turns to the Job with her
well known energy and ambition and
Imply floods the markets. Supply goes
tap and price naturally goes down.
Fresh vegetables of many kinds are
shown qnlte plentiful on the Omaha mar
kets now. But all of thera come from
the sunny southland, where the spring U
already far enough advanced to allow
them, to grow out of doors. And that is
the only place where they grow to their
full luscious, flavored quality. Hothouse
vegetables never have quits th quality
of those that grow out in the- real sun
shine and under the genuine rain and In
nature's own balmy breeses.
Radishes, onions, new beets, turnips
snd carrots are on the market from the
south. Tomatoes, too, are becoming quite
plentiful, though, of course, they come
from the south, too.
Cucumbers are plentiful. These come
from no farther than Davenport, la.,
where there Is a hothouse man who un
derstands the srt of coaxing this vege
table along through the winter months
and thus reaps a harvest of dollars for
himself. The "cukes ' are of fine quality.
Strawberries are beginning to be quit
common. They are from Florida and are
large, red and Inviting.
Navel oranges are very plentiful and of
large size and splendid quality. Tet they
are rolling at. very low prices jiwlag to
the large supply of them.
Apples, while they are becoming scarcer
as spring draws near, are still plentiful,
most of them being the fruit In boxea
shipped In from the north Pacific coast
states.
CITY WORKERS TO
BE ONJjASH BASIS
Welfare Board to Maintain Fund
to Provide Prompt Payment
for Laborers.
MEN GENERALLY NEED CASH
panled by his wife. Mr. Clarke is In his
(-petal car, that will go west over the
Vnlon Pacific.
Mayor Dahlman and Superinten
dent Schrelber of the Welfare board
have worked out a plan for the pay
ment of city laborers as soon as
their work shall have ceased, instead
of requiring these men to wait some
times a week for a few days' pay.
The Welfare board will maintain
a fund for this purpose and this fund
will be reimbursed when the regular
payrolls are approved by the city
council.
Two cases In point were brought to the
attention of the Welfare board on Thurs
day. The men In question worked four
days for the city, their work hav
ing ceased on Wednesday and, according
to the usual procedure, would have been
compelled to wait a week before being
paid. They were In need of money for
their families. The wages due were paid
by the Welfare board upon presentation
of time checks approved by city officials.
The city roust be an exemplar In this
matter If we expect to require others to
be convinced that the laborer la worthy
of his hire as soon as the work shall
have been completed," explained Super
intendent Schrelber.
Social Affairs Are
Planned for Visit
of Dr. S. Eliot Here
Dr. Samuel Eliot of Boston arrived In
Omaha yesterday to remain until Bun
day afternoon. Dr. F.llot, who li the son
of Dr. Charles Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard university, gives pronounced
lefutation to the oft-repeated assertion
that great men are not fathers of Ulus
trlous sons. Dr. Samuel Eliot, who la a
clergyman of the Unitarian church and
president of the National Unitarian asso.
cia Hon, is an eloijuent speaker, and, while
In Omaha, will give an address Sunday
morning at Turpin's hall before the Uni
tarian society. Many of the affairs
planned for IT. Kllot have been recalled,
owing to Ms li-aving Sunday afternoon.
Among the affairs which will be given
are a luncheon Saturday at the Hotel
Loyal and a dinner Sunday by the Wil
liam Newton at their home In Fair
Acres.
The unique feature of Saturday's
luncheon Is the fact that any one who
Is Interested In the liberal church move
ment is a aelf-tnvlted guest at the affair,
because Dr. Eliot has expressed a strong
wish to meet all those who have such
Interests and leanings.
