THE 'BEE, OMAHA; SATURDAY. AFK1L 17, 1920. 17 VEGETABLES IN ABUNDANCE Of! LOCALMARKETS Cucumbers Plentiful, Though High; While Potato Prices Remain Up In the Clouds. 1 1 -T i Additional evidence that spring- is here or hereabouts was seen on. the markets yesterday, which were liter ally' piled high with green vegeta bles. The bright particular star of the week in this line is the cucum ber, which is now farlv plentiful. Prices attached to some of the vegetables, however, remind old- timers more of hard winters in the past than of pleasant spring. Cu cumbers jrange from 20 to 35 cents each, depending on the size. As paragus may be bought lot 25 cents a pound Green peas are selling for A) cents a quart and are on the mar ket in goodly numbers. Green on ions are reasonable today, at S cents a bunch. , Potatoes Still Altitudinous. Potatoes are still altitudinous ' in price, because of the strike, grocers say. Prices around $5 the bushel prevail, and many stores charge even more. Fresh fruit continues to re main high, although present prices are somewhat under those of. last "winter. Oranges are from SO to 60 cents per dozen, depending on grades, and grapefruit sells from about 10 to 15 cents each. -Armies continue to be high in price. The 'strictly fresh egg is to be had universally. . Hens are lying better every day, but prices are slightly above those of a few weeks ago. Most stores sell eggs around 4o cents a dozen. Butter has been fairly steady during the past week, and sells from .about 68 to 73 cents a pound. Flour Prices Remain Steady. Flour saw no advance during the last week, and retails at about $3.35 for the 48-pound sack. With a tieup of railroad traffic on one hand and a "save on meat" campaign on the other, all kinds of meat have been rather uncertain during the week. Prices felt a distinct advance because of the strike, and are apparently unaffected by the saving campaign. It is believed that with a resumption of , normal shipping a drop will occur. Seeds are in good demand at all groceries and the outlook for plenty of fresh vegetables for Omaha's table from the old home garden is good, dealers declare.. Good strawberries are fairly plen tiful at prices ranging from 20 to 25 cents the box. ) Bryan to Deliver Three Speeches in City Sunday William Jennings Bryan will de liver three speeches in Omaha to morrow. Mr. Bryan will talk in the Y. M. C. A. at 3:30 Sunday after noon, will talk at 5 o'clock in the Y. W. C. A. and his last meeting is scheduled for Grace Methodist , church, Twenty-fifth and E street. South Omaha, at 7:30 o. m. , OMAHA BOYS AND GIRLS DELIGHT IN THE SYMPHONY Afternoon With Minneapolis Orchestra One of Genuine Joy for the Children. ' Thousands of kiddies, large, small and medium-sized, filed decorously into the auditorium yesterday after noon to hear a special matinee pro gram by the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra. This was a great musical event, and a great event to the school children. For some time they had been preparing to attend this concert. Phonograph records had been used of the different musical compositions which were to be played by the orchestra; the arrange- mem 01 me instruments naa neen put upon the blackboard, and in some schools the orchestra had been acted out in pantomime, even with a conductor at the front. Ihe differ ent instruments had been studied, and the children were all alert to get the greatest .enjoyment from the concert. , Ready for the Feast. So they came in, all decked in gay colors, with shoes shined and hand and fece kiowmk with clean liness and anticipation. The bright ribbons of 'the girls, the white col lars and bright ties of the boys pre sented a very different picture from that of a grownup audience. And how Quiet they were when the orchestra played. They listened with eager interest and applauded jubilantly after the numbers they especially liked, s so that frequent encores were necessary.)' The orchestra, under the direction of Emil Oberhoffer, gave them of their best. 1 he program opened with the march f ram 'the "Babes in Toylarrd," by Herbert, a light happy number, interpreted with infectious charm ahd gayety. The overture to "Migon' by Thbmas was next given, this number being delightfully in teresting with its variety of subject matter, and the two distinct "por traits" given by he music. 1 Once An Omaha Boy. Guy H. Woodard, who once was a boy in Omaha, like many who were sitting in the audience, but who now has achieved such success with his violin as to hold the coveted posi tion of concertmaster of the or chestra, delighted with an artistic and musicianly interpretation of the lovely Meditation from "Ihais by Massenet, repeated as an encore. Ihe .Peer Gynt Suite was listened to with the most careful attention, and vigorously applauded, as were' other numbers, and the Lizszt "Hungarian Rhaosodv No. 2, with Its brilliancy and strong rhythmic effects -brought great en thusiasm as the closing number. . Deserves Commendation.' A concert like this, given under the auspicies of the public schools, and' with careful well fcuided study beforehand, cannot be too strongly commended. It is educational, and more than that, enjoyable, and it helps the children to a beginning of interest in the most sociable of all arts. An . indoor , golf game that has been invented includes a plush mat for a 'tee and a target like pocket to ratch the balls. " 1 Over The Political; Fence Dan Westergard, former city clerk of Benson, who is campaigning tor the republican nomination for clerk of the district court, is seeking votes on two .issues: His fitness for the place and a declaration that no single man should hold. office indefi nitely. Westergard is a native of Omaha, 36 years old, and a graduate of Omaha High sqhool. He was four yea,rs a deputy county clerk and had 15 years' accounting experience. Joseph W. Marrow, republican candidate, for police magistrate, has been granted a street-speaking per mit by Mayor Smith. One of the most popular outdoor sports during the week has ' been picking gubernatorial winners, re publicans and democrats alike in dulging in this divertisement One of the outstanding features of the republican contest in this county is the coalition endorsement of Adam McMulIen of Beatrice, this'candidate havinug been endorsed also by "The Committee of 500." Considerable speculation is being expressed anent the probable effect of the McMulIen boom in Douglas county on the campaign of Governor McKelvie. "It's a horse race between Mc ' Kelvie, McMulIen and Pollard throughout the state," is the belief of some. "Look out for that man Hall" was heard along political row. The governor will speak tonight at Fifteenth arid Farnam streets, where an outdoor platform will be placed. He has announced that he . will tell just what he thinks of a "coterie of political highbinders in . Douglas county" who have organ ized to defeat him. Adam McMulIen has been busy in Douglas county all week, most of his time having been spent in Omaha. Victor Reynolds, W. G. Ure, J. C. Kinsler and FranklinvA. Shotwell promoted the movement which they assert will mean a Mc MulIen plurality in this county. They aver that they are working for re publican solidarity and success, and that the defeat - of McKelvie and nomination of McMulIen are see aondary considerations. ii T h e Women's Hitchcock-f or President club has mailed marked sample ballots to democratic women voters. C. W. Sears, member of the con stitutional convention, endorses Arthur D. Knight, republican candi date for state representative. "Oma ha should not send all of the Doug Us county delegation to the legis lature," Mr. Sears said. "The coun try should be represented. Mr. Knight is a successful farmer, living at Irvington, where he is serving on the school board. He was bom in Douglas county and was graduated from the Omaha High school. Oma ha people should vote for Mr. Knight" Republicans in the Sixth Congres sional district are reminded that J. D. Ream of Broken Bow, candidate for congress on the republican ticket, was elected 20 years ago to the legis lature from Custer county as a dem ocrat and it is understood that he has continued to vote that ticket ever since. - ' . .T. H. Tracy is conducting his campaign for county commissioner nomination, Fifth district, from his room at the Tracy residence, 1712 North Twenty-fifth street. He was seriously injured on March 15 in an automobile accident and during the period of his convalescence he has been, conducting a correspondence and telephone campaign. Several friends have volunteered to help him. Mr. Tracy has resided in Omaha 26 years, is eniraeed .in the automobile business and has never neid public office. He was a mem ber of the cigar firm of Tracy Bros, for 22 years. ' Rev. G. G. Logan will be one of the speakers tonight at a Pershing mass meeting in Columbia tiaii Twenty-fourth and Lake streets! Cecil Wilkes, ex-service man, .will be another speaker. Desdunes or chestra will be in attendance. Miss Nettie E. Bauer, oreranizpr assigned to Nebraska by the worn- t s uivisiuu ui mc repuoiican na tional committee, has accomplished splendid results among the repub lican women of the Fifth and Sixth congressional districts, according to information received in Omaha yes- icraay. United States Senator Hitchcock will speak in the Auditorium this evening. He came to the state from Washington last Monday and started his itinerary at Columbus in the eve ning. " Arthur Mullen, national com mitteeman, anticipates a larsx audi ence tonight 'I The democratic gubernatorial sit uation in Douglas county stands more or less on all fours with the Hitchcock-Bryan, fight; in that the "regular" democratic organization is supporting Ralph Clark" of Stella and the Bryan wing is supporting George Jackson of Nelson. A prominent Omaha democrat who has held himself aloof from the fac tional disturbances which are caus ing his party so much pain just now in Nebraska, told an Omaha Bryan leader yesteray that he" confidentally believed that John H. Morehead would cut into the democratic ma chine vote in this county. "I know that the local Hitchcock Mullen machine will not be able to hold even all of its own vote -for Clark and you just watch the Clark and Morehead vote here next Tues day and then come and see me," this democratic pacifist asserted. Cards are being mailed; by the "regular democratic organization," signed- by J. C. Dahlman, chairman, and C. F. Bossie, secretary, which means the democratic county central committee. These cards carry the names of Senator .Hitchcock . for presidential preference, Arthur F. Mullen for national committeeman, kalph A. Clark for governor and the names of the Hitchcock delegates-at-large. and district delegates are given, File Information Against v VeterarvOmahu Jurist Information yesterday was filed, in district court against Ed F. Morear ty, veteran jurist, for alleged irregu lar and unprofessional cant Jet in the handling of a law case. The information, which was hied by County Attorney- Shotwell at the direction of the judges of the dis trict court, charges Morearty with having procured worthless bonds for his .clients. The information also charges that Morearty "has been guilty of collusion with intent to deceive the court." The judges, in having the informa tion filed, acted on a report from the Douglas County Bar association, which had investigated the charges against Morearty. To help in folding business letters rapidly a device resembling an en larged signet ring has been invented. Charge Grandmother With ' "Aiding Kidnaping of Girl Mrs. Julia Kammer, aged mother of Charles Kammer, who is alleged to have kidnaped his child from his former wife, will have to appear in court next Monday to show reason why she should not be charged with contempt of court as an accessory to the removal of 3-year-old Ruth Naomi Kammer from the home of the child's mother. The mother yesterday denied that she had any thing to do with the stealing. The Kammers were divorced Feb- uary9, 1920. The decree gave i her the custody of the little girl, Omaha Pastor Returns. Rev. Melvin R. Laird, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, returned yesterday from Florida, where he spent a month on account of the illness of Mrs. Laird.
