200 WOMEN VISIT
MARKET IN Vain;
LITTLE PRODUCE
Few Vendors Take Advantage
of Opening Day-Must Not
ify Customers First.
BOY FARMER DISAPPOINTED
Comes Too Early Ia Mart With Let
tuCe Which He Had Raised and
Is Unable TO Sell 1t.

That a city market IN Rock Island
viii be popular with the buyers was
evidenced this morning when the mar
ket was opened on Sixteenth street
south OF Third avenue and approx
mately 200 women, some of them rid
ing in automobiles. others in buggies
and others atoot. attended with the
intention OF buying Saturday and Sun
day supplies. Within a very short
time every article which was offered
for sale by the few hucksters who
took advantage of the opening of the
market was purchased in a mad
scramble by those who appeared 10
secure produce
Vegetables of all descriptions sold
at prices which in many instances
were less than those paid in the stores.
One farmer came TO the market with
several jars of dairy butter and it was
sold in short order
The market master, Louis Funken-
stein. stated this morning that several
of the vegetable vendors have prom
ised that they will forsake their routes
through the city as soon as they have
had opportunity of giving their Gus
toners ample notice.
DEPENDS ON VENDORS.
The success ~ the market Is as
sured If the hucksters will only bring
their produce to it. The women gave
evidence of the favor in which they
hold the scheme by their attendance
this morning. They expressed their
regret Of the fact that the vendors had
not taken advantage of the opportun-
ity Tor the SPEEDY disposal of their
produce. One raiser of chickens
stated this morning that he intends
10 bring some fowl TO the market next
Saturday. Other producers, it is
thought, will not miss another oppor-
tunity to dispose of their produce
through the market Some express a
desire for booths or shelters. while
others are satisfied with the curb mar
ket scheme.
BOY DISAPPOINTED.
The first vendor to appear upon the
market was 12-year-old Paul Gehr, who
carried two baskets of lettuce and
some flowers which he himself had
raised or his fathers property on
Forty-ffth street and Seventeenth
avenue. Paul arrived afro minutes be
fore 6 O'Clock and STAYED for Just two
hours. He sold some of his posies
and little of his lettuce. He was
tired Of waiting and at s o'clock
somewhat tired from his la
Dor and disguised with the early pat
rCrage Of the market, or rather. the
lack of patronage, started out to visit
some of the grocery stores. As he
started away, he gave verbal expires
sion of his thoughts concerning tbs
market. He said, This market busi
ness is all hot air. | raised all this
lettuce myself and | can't sell it. In
going to go to the grocery stores

town of Iona received it's name from
the school. 1t was continued there
until April, 1910, when the home was

markets caused them to move, and
Sister Mary Joseph also thought it
wise to be near a city where the
boys could learn trades.
In the farm here there is a plot
of about thirty-five acres, some tim

horses and cows are kept and a
number of chickens. Some of the
boys tire Of farming and they are
then allowed to study elsewhere.
One of the boys is now working
away from the school having a posi-
ton running a gasoline engine. Two
boys are now at the st. Mary's

Sister Mary Joseph has been with
the school since it's very beginning
and has had wonderful success in its
management. She is heartily inter-
ested in the work and is making
many children happy and fitting
them for successful futures. 1t is
an undertaking which is a most
worthy one. Sister Mary Joseph, in
speaking of the beautiful location of
the school, said that she thinks that
spot must have been saved just for
that purpose.
