Want TOCONVENE here
Young Peoples League of United
Lutheran Church May Hold Con-
Vention at concordia.

The vice president OF the Young
Peoples league of the United Luther
an churches of America has intimated
to President Bogstad Of Concordia col
lege that the league officers are de-
sirous OF holding the annual conven-
ton of the league, In 1910, at Con-
cordia college. Questions were asked
as to the facilities for the taking care
of at least 1900 delegates, sometime
during midsummer next year.
1t is big proposition and would
place the city and this section OF the
great Red river valley country very
prominently in the limelight. The
matter will be placed before the Com
mercial club and as matters are now
1t is the belief of a good many people
that President Bogstad need feel no
hesitancy about inviting the league to
meet in Moorhead.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Minneapolis Gossip.

Minneapolis, Oct. H. This was the
principal market that was open today
and there was a large volume of bus
mess. One pence higher, Liverpool
cable gave 1t impetus at the start and
the bulls sat back and allowed the
frightened bears to buy the wheat In
and the result was an advance Of TX
cents from the previous close Millers
were large buyers Of our December.
all day, probably on account of the
light receipts here, which were only
$40 cars against coo last year. Duluth
had 492 and Winnipeg ran less than
last iyear for the first time In two
weeks. Minneapolis stocks increased
$4,000 bushels for three days. The
selling of May wheat was feature OF
the day, one large commission firm SELL
ing half a million. The advance may
carry little further but would advise
taking profits on this bulge.

TURNIPS FLY like
SHOWER OF HAIL
MARKET GARDENING FOLK HAVE
DAILY BATTLE IN PARIS FOR
RIGHT TO SELL THEIR
PRODUCE.

Paris, Oct. 12.--Beets, cabbages and
turnips have flown and the air has
been thick with vegetables these last
few nights outside the central markets
Late young men who go home with
the milk often sup at the Halles on
the way to watch the fray. The great
market gardening civil war arose cur
iously. The nightly procession of carts
white and green with caulifiower or
pink with carrots. built up into neat
stacks. has gone on increasing as Paris
grew and hungered for more vege-
tables. OF late a certain street next
to the Halles, where 10y ancient tradi-
ton market gardeners gather to dc
business with the wholesale trade In
the early hours, has been completely
blocked. The police accordingly issued
a considerate regulation extending the
allotted standing room for carts into
another street, but dealers kept oon-
seryatively to the old street, and mar
ket gardeners found that when they
put up in the new reserved space they
did no business.
AS IL was first come first served
the result was a race from the sub
nrbs to the Halles, and at last the
procession OF vegetable carts began to
appear in the Duo de Rivoli and the
Avenue de lOpera by Z In the evening
blocking the streets for other traffic In
the busiest part Of the day The po-
lice, to stop this, arranged a system
of lots, and the lucky drawers took ur
their places In the old traditional
street Then the trouble began. The
unluclxy gardeners refused to submit
to chance, and instead OF allowing
themselves to be relegated to the new
street. where for some mysterious rea-
son less business is said to be done
stormed their colleagues positions. The
Halles population had no patience
with half measures. and the ladies' Of
the market gardening world are hardly
less warlike than the men. Battles
royal have been the consequence. and
yolleys OF vegetables have laid many
a conbatant low. The police, between
the two armies, have been knocked
about also. and one inspector, who In q
daring moment stepped In as peace
maker, had g very bad time OF ii ia
the clutches of the market ladies.
BY means of a dozen or 80 arrests
nightly OF the most excited sons and
daughters Of the soil, who are released
the next morning when their heads are
cooler. It ID hoped that peace will be
eventually restored.
