South Bend is the only city in the north that is eating strawberries today. One hundred quarts of the fruit, which ordinarily appears only during the midsummer months, came into the city every day. They are from a farm north of the city where plants have been trained to hibernate only for six weeks at a time, when they begin to bear again.

The jury in circuit court which head the evidence in the damage suit of William Windemuth against the Chicago & Erie Railroad, retired at about 5:30 Friday evening and required only three ballots to arrive at a verdict in favor of the defendant company. Windemuth’s demand was based on allegations that he was attacked and beaten and severely injured by an intoxicated man while he was a passenger on an Erie train. His chief point of contention was that the railroad company failed to afford him proper protection from injury. The European war bids fair to acquire as great unpopularity with the younger generation as already at- > taches to it among the grown ups. On top of the news that Germany may be unable to send us the usual supply of holiday toys comes the announcement that there is likely to be a shortage of Christmas candies in -many a youngster's stocking. Fate seems to have worked against American boys and girls in a number of ways to bring this about. Sugar, of course, is the principle ingredient of candy. Not. only sugar, but also glucose condensed milk, preserved fruits, and nuts, all of which are used to a minor extent in candy making, have already increased in price. In spite of the advance already made candy makers assert that they are losing money and that further increases must be made. ■ o - LOST —At the fair grounds, a ladies’ pocketbook.
