The result: High prices and a scarcity of Fine Quality Pecans. We were fortunate in being able to buy the entire crop of a grove in Ocean Springs, known the world over as producing not only the larg est but the finest tasting nuts grown in this section of the Pecan Belt. Solari's Pecan Nuts averaging 40 to 42 to the pound, $1 a pound; 38 to 40 to pound, $1 pound; 53 to 55 to pound, 75c pound; 58 to 60 to pound, 50c pound. The newest delicacy, and one that should appeal to New Orleans peo ple and to those far distant, who are not able to enjoy the fresh, ripe banana, is the home industry now being introduced as "BANANA FIGS." It's the whole ripe banana evaporated and preserved in its own sugar; a true delicacy that can be served in many ways-15c and 25c tins. A. M. & J. SOLARI, Ltd.

Another Amusing Article in the Daily Item in Reference to the West ern Union Telegraph Company. i'or the benefit of our readers, and especially for those who are convers ant with the actual condition of af fairs in connection with the establish ment of a branch office of the Western Union telegraph office, we print the following article. which is taken from the Item: "After efforts lasting more than a year, Algiers residents have succeeded in inducing one telegraph company to open a branch office in the Fifteenth ward. "The Western Union opened its branch office in the Cumberland Tele phone building Friday, and with the first message sent over the wires by Mayor Behrman, the citizens felt a satisfaction in the accomplishment of their purpose for which they had long contended. "The station in the Piftn district fills a long felt want. Business was handicapped for the lack of such a station, and the Algiers ,Improvement Association, together with The Item, took up the matter w h Mr. Cum mings, who immediately{ saw the ne cessity for its institution. "The message sent by Mayor Behr man to Dr. C. V. Kraft, editor and publisher of The Herald, read as fol lows: 'Another signal step has been n made in the progress of our district ' in the installation of a Western Union i- telegraph office. I have the honor of 1I sending you this first message over its Y wires.' " 1- .ow the truth regarding this sub 1, ject is as follows: Mayor Behrman is sent no telegram to Dr. Kraft, but Dr. Le Kraft sent the first message to a Mayor Martin Behrman; nor did )f the Item, at any time, have anything 1- to do with the establishment of a It Western Union telegraph office in Al giers. They gave no assistance to the Algiers Improvement Association and if the Item will point out to The Her aid, either by letter or an article. where they have done any work, what ever, in securing this office for the Algiers people. we will he more than pleased to give them full credit with double column headlines. Mr. Porte ous, the local manager of the Western Union, sent a message to Mayor Behr man in which he stated that the es tablishment of the office was the re sult of the efforts of The Herald and the Algiers Improvement Association. Why was it that the Item did not pub lish this dispatch? Certainly a big daily newspaper like the Item could not be narrow minded, and certainly there must have been some error. Would the Item please explain to the Algiers people how this error was made? In other words, we want to be just to the Item, and especially so if they have assisted in securing this telegraph office for our district. We say again to the Item, let us have such information as will give you the full credit in the premises if you are de serving of it. ADMIRAL COWIE AT NAVAL STA TION. Declaring that the naval station at Algiers was closed for purposes of economy and good business, Rear Ad miral T. J. Cowle, paymaster general of the United States Navy, who ar rived in the city Sunday with Mrs. Cowie, declined to comment on the advisability of the move from patriotic or strategic standpoint. Rear Admiral Cowie does think that the Navy Department should send its warships to New Orleans and other Southern ports, periodically, however. He is now en route to the Charleston Navy Yard. He is making an inspec tion of the naval stations of the coun try, and was shown over the Algiers station by Warrant Officer J. A. Davis.
