FRUIT PRICES , MAY PROHIBIT HOME CANNING Short Crops Send Prices Sky ward With NoJndication of Decline, Omaha Deal ers Say. Housewives will be able to pre serve little or no fruits this sum mer unless an unexpected and marked decline of prices occurs, ac cording to Omaha retail grocers, who state that the supply of fruit is short, that the pric& of fruit and sugar for canning is prohibitive and that a steady increase in prices is expected for the summer. "There were practically no pine apples this year, apricots are scarce and the supply of cherries is less than usual, said Al King of Hayden Brothers. "Sugar is selling at 10 cents a pound. Cherries are selling at $5 a crate,-several times more than they cost before the war. Peaches have not arrived yet in quantities.. Conditions will force the price of canned goods up even high er and dried fruit will take a sharp rise at the end of the summer." A February frost damaged the California orange crop somewhat. Bananas are selling at around 40 cents a dozen. "I don't know where all the cher-. ries are going, but it's not to the market," stated Mr. King. "The quality is good, but the supply is short." Other grocers confirmed Mr. King's "statements, adding that beef would also be more expensive, for the quality is expected to drop dur ing the summer, although the price will not rise materially. None of the grocers were able to name any thing that was "going down." Human Dispositions Reflect Effect of Heat Wave In Omaha Court records are reflecting the ef fects of the heat on human disposi- lons. Julius Lanz, ice man, delivered a piece of ice to the home of Mrs. G. W. Weisbroad, 505 William street. She remarked that her ice did not seem to be as large as the cake de livered to a neighbor. Lanz there upon took ice out of the Weisbroad icebox and was starting away in high dudgeon. According to a com plaint filed by Lanz in the justice court of George S. Collins, Mrs. Weisbroad restrained him from tak ing the ice away by holding a re volver in a menacing manner. A. W. Kelpin obtained peace complaints in municipal, court against J. J. Paul and John Murphy. 507 South Forty-first street. This complainant alleged that while he was endeavoring to catch a robin in his own yard, the Murphys ac cused him of having designs on their chickens and followed the ac cusations with a shower of bricks.
