GROCERY WARES
INDICATE THAT
SUMMER IS HERE
i
Seasonable Fruits and Vege
tables Prove Calendar Is
Summery and Picnic Time
- Not Far Away.
Those appetizing things that com
bine so nicely in picnic lunches
are so plentiful on the markets now,
and are so attractively displayed by
grocers, that marketers are likely to
forget the chilly atmosphere and
threatening skies in an inspiration to
1 ack the lunch baskets and hie them
selves to some bosky dell for a sup
per on the grass.
Another reminder that the calen
dar is summery, if the weather isn't,
'n seen in the great display this
week of fresh pineapples. They are
the season's first, and may be had
from 15 to 35 cents apiece, depend
ing on size. Remembrances of hot
June evenings of years j?one by will
be awakened this week when the
shopping housewife sees the profu
sion of lemons offered, for the lem
onade that would be seasonable ex
cept for the weather. Large, juicy
k'inons are now to be had around
25 cents a dozeni At some stores
t'.iev are a trifle higher.
Oranges are sti'. high in price,
being from about 50 to 90 cents the
ilozen, depending cn grade. Grape
fruit retails from about 20 cents
t'own, the price varying according
i j size and grade. Apples, also, are
high in price. They are offered at
several prices, whnih are about the
ranie as they have been for several
weeks. Strawberrie? reta'l at about
40 ctnts a box today. This is about
ihe same price that they have been
te'l'iig for. t
Radishes are olToied today.at bar
pain prices, and m.iy be had from
'rom two bunches to five bunches
for a nickel. All cn the counters
seem to be very g;xd. Lettuce costs
5 cuts per bunch for the leaf va
riety, and 10 cents tor the head let
tuce . Green onions are offered
vnder the same crcumstances' as
radishes, with each dealer making

HI OIH'ua kicuvj, u&iS
from four bunches tor 25 cents, to
1(1 cents a bunch in price. String
beans sell at 25 cents a pound, for
both varieties. New potatoes have
been jarred from their pinnacle, and
are now sold at two pounds for 25
cents, which is about half the price
asked a week ago. As the new crop
increases, old potatoes are disap
pearing from the nv.rket.
New comers on the market today
r watercress, egg plant and red
cabbage. The cress sells at about 10
cents a bunch. Egg plants retail
around 40 cents each, and the cab
bage at 10 cents a pound. Sweet po
tatoes have been in great demand
lately, grocers say. They still sell
at 10 cents a pound.
Creamery butter took a slight
drop during the past week and sells
today at 59 or 60 cents pound, de
pending on stores. Fresh eggs sell
irom 42 to 50 cents a dozen, which
prices have been fairly steady for
weeks.
Meat remained down during the
week, but is due for a sharp rise, ac
cording to wholesale dealers. This
increase may be in force this week,
they predicted. Steaks at 30 to 35
cents will not be offered for long,
the dealers" believe. Pork also held
steady during the week, but is also
likely to goup.in price, as a summer
increase is always to be expected, ac
cording to butchers. Chicken is ap
pearing on the , market more and
more', with prices comparatively
high.

LEGION MEMBERS
TO HOLD BIG MASS
MEETING. SOON
Executive Committee to Set
Date at Conference
Next Week.
Americanization was the keynote
of the noon luncheon yesterday at
Hotel Rome which was attended
by members of the Douglas county
post No. 1, American Legion.
Harry Easton, 1710 South Six
teenth street, was appointed chair
man of a committee to inquire into
the selection of appropriate plots in
each Omaha cemetery which are to
bi set aside and dedicated for the
burial of all ex-service men and
their families.
The executive committee of the
local post, will hold a session at
Hotel Rome next Friday noon.
Plans will be formulated for a big
mass meeting of the American Le
gion which will be held in the near
future.
Dr. E. C. Henry, president of
the local organization and staff
member of the Lord Lister hospital,
gave a stirring talk on the future
policy of the Omaha post. "Amer
icanization work and organization
should be the beacon light of the
Omaha post," he emphasized, "for
the bonus is a secondary considera
tion inasmuch as it is a matter in
which time is an essential element
in order that the people may more
thoroughly understand the motives
and principles underlying the ideas
of the American Legion in thjs mat
ter of soldier relief."
Mr. Hammond, secretary of the
American Legion of Omaha, was
enthusiastic in his endorsement of
the attitude of the Omaha Bee on
the bonus question and his remarks
received hearty applause. He said
the failure of the American Legion
to appear in the G. A. R. parade
resulted from a misunderstanding
between the officials in charge of
the day's activities. "The circum
stance is keenly regretted," he ex
plained, "for the American Legion
of this city is more than willing
and ready to respond to the requests
of and co-operate with every pa
triotic organization on, every pos
sible occasion."
