TRADE EXPANSION
BANQUET PLANNED
Association Seeks to Awaken
Traders to San Joaquin
Valley Opportunities

The Merchants association trade
extension" banquet, which is to be
given in the Palace hotel ballroom
Tuesday evening, promises to be one
Of the most unique and yet important
events of the year in commercial cir
cles. The guest list and program of
speakers includes representatives of
the jobbers. retailers. manufacturers
and foreign trade, and a frank pres
entation of trade conditions in San
Francisco and central California will
be made. The banquet will be strictly
a California affair. the menu including
not only state products, but San Fran
cisco cigarettes and cigars.
In arranging the banquet it has been
the intention of the association to
awaken the local business world to the
opportunities offered in San Joaquin
valley
An analysis of the field by the Mer-
chants association has disclosed five
reasons why the local merchants do
not receive more business from the in
terror towns. Poor freight deliveries
are assigned as a principal drawback,
while the absence of reciprocal trade
and proper advertising and a failure to
help in developing the valley are
enumerated as causes which should be
remedied.
The gathering will be addressed by
those who have gone into the territory
and made study of the situation in
its relation TO this city, and it is the
intention of the association to arrange
a businessmens' excursion for the pur-
pose of forming closer relations be-
tween the local dealers and the country
retailers.
Los Angeles has made bids for the
business recently by "equalizing" and
absorbing" the difference in freight
rates. The railroads are also sending
especially marked through cars from
the south over Tehachapi into the field
which the local merchants have en-
deayored to develop.

"ELOPEMENT OF ELLEN;
WHEN A MANS SINGLE"

Last Thursday night goodIy
sized audience assembled at the
Armory hall to greet the comedy
play entitled, THE Elopement
of Ellen"
The play was produced ex-
ceptionally well and from the
continuous applause at the close
of each act we believe everyone
enjoyed it immensely.
The parts handled by Smith,
LaPierre, Macon, Randol. Misses
Kurre, Williams and Mrs. Ruby
Wolter were excellent and each
one aquitted themselves in great
style.
Friday night the Armory hall
was crowded to its doors. The
play was entitled When a Mans
Single, and judging from the
numerous encores given Uncle
jim" and Miss Briscoe"
met with the hearty approval of
all.
The cast was composed as fol-
lows: w. LaPierre, Uncle
Jim; M. Randol, Uncle Pete;
G. Morton. Winthrop Briscoe;
c. Jones, Paul Brlscoe; Misses
Flossie Kurre, Mrs. Briscoe;
Norma Gockel. Evelyn Briscoe:
Bess Litzelfelner. Norah O'Niel
and Mrs. Ruby Wolters, Eleanor
Horton.
Both plays were composed of
home talent and owing to sew
eral little mishaps during the
three weeks practice the men,
bers of each cast were handi-
capped as they were compelled
to make a premature appearance
for the Mum show.
Mrs. John Snider directed
both plays and deserves much
credit for untiring efforts.
These two plays .netted the
ladies of the Presbyterian church
about $3.50.
