By STRICKLAND W. GILLIAN

Once in Greece lived a higil:broW
named James II. Perices. ] do moi
know just when II was he lived, ex
ccpt that It was immediately proceed
Ing his demise. But 1t was SO long
ago that have no personal recollec

Information on the subject Of him.
Pericles was a good man. When he
was dead, or even previously, q ylgor
Gus search OF his desk failed TO dis
cover any letters from Archbold, and
even in those times that was In a
mans favor. s..s
1t was commonly said among the
Greasers, or Greclans, whichever they
were, that Pericles was as good as
Themistocles, which was, the Greek
way Of saying he was Us good as Tho
mischief. Which was going some in
virtue, when YOU know what knockers
those Greeks always were.
Perieles was whatever is biggest In
Greece, and he saw that II the town
of Athens was to stand there 1t had
TO be protected from the ocean, which
is very inquIsItive at that point, SC
he built a huge dam between the town
and the sea, though his predecessors
had not thought the town worth q
dam OF such dimensions.
Pericles was a hot advocate OF home
industry and worked hard to keep the
local vote. To do thls he took strong
stand (which his followers believed tc
be a grand stand. though II 1t had
made him any trouble 1t would have
been only a one-nlght stand or even
a center table, against foreign ron
quests. holding that we should give up
the Philippines rs soon as we could
find anybody who hadn't heard OF them
and would take them without making
us too much trouble about 1t.
i Pericles also built I large theatcr
which was not controlled by The trust
and Belasco complimented him very
highly on II every time he played
there. When maid OF Athens was
first sung, the boy who had the song
and lemonade privilege Of the theater
!, went home with enough coin to MI
his toga or night shirt so heavily that
he. could 60 not more than quarter

rest. The patrons Of the theater
bought Che song freely, although they
admitted the words were Greek 10

! Besides the theater, he built a nifty
shack called the Parthenon, that can
be seen distinctly by every mariner
engaged in that sartorial occupation

There is considerable doubt as To what
will be the status between supply and
demand this week N the produce mar

ell in prices
Eggs come first on the uncertain list.
Eighteen cents was the average price
last week, but there is no certain indi-
cation of it continuing. An effort is
being made by packers 10 force the
quotation down another cent o. two and
almost concentrated effort is looked for
along this line. Eggs were stored at IS
cents in the latter part OF March a year
ago., and unless a reduction in the pres
emf quotation is made soon, IL Is prac-
ticalIy assured that the prices on cold
storage goods will be considerably high
er next tail than last.
Next TO eggs, live stock is a subject
for doubtful cOnSide} alton. This IS es-
peciaIly true with respect to veal calves.
Should warmer weather prevail, II is
expected that the price Will go down,
while that on l2- los, in all probability,

mand for spring lambs last week
