It will be remembered that at the French Market, held early in the summer, seeds, flower and vegetable plants were on sale in Then in the summer and early fall, when these gardens were rich with the fruit, there was a need for a Market of some sort, where the surplus might be sold great abundance, for the war gardens. at reasonable prices, instead of going to waste. Thus came the opening of the Vegetable Market, and every Saturday morning, an observer might see any number of women, with baskets upon their arm, filled with choice fresh vegetables, obtained from the market. Gardeners are urged to take unusual care of their bulbs and seeds in order that there may be an abundance to give to the market in the spring. ©o Hopkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis J.

Especially has the great need grown for the distinction in cash and charge accounts, and delivery problem. Many persons prefer to pay cash by their own choosing. Others prefer the convenience and benefit of a charge account, and like to pay by check when they receive record of amounts The one eliminating expense deserves recognition, the other receiving some additional the increased cost. Arguments have always 'or mav not be true: vet the true friend of the customer is the merchant who gladly sells the goods upon which the stamp of approval is placed by the consumer when he realizes the value of his purchases.

That this difference event- ually would be recognized has long been realized, but how to make a popular distinction that would be a permanent satisfaction has been the problem.

Many items are sold on such close margins that they do not pay operating expense, and to give additional discounts involving further loss seems improper. customers.
