housekeeping.
The meeting was not large, but
was enthusiastic, and several de-
olared their intention of subscribing
for stock. 1t is proposed to organ
lie a cooperative stock company
similar to the Montclair Cooperat tive
Store, which has proved to be a
great success. Mrs. Leonhauser and
her assistants will make a house-to-
house canvass of those that they
know to be in favor of the plan and
as soon as a sufficient sum of money
Is raised, the plan will be put in
operation. Considerable money will
be necessary to make the affair a
SUCCESS The rent OF a suitable place
will have to be provided for, an auto
mobile of an approved plan to carry
the meals will have to be provided;
a modern kitchen will have to be
equipped and a. good chef and other
help will be employed.
AS soon as fifty families take stock,
the plan will be put In operation,
which Mrs. Leonhauser hopes will be
in about six weeks. There will be
no more public meetings held until
the affair is running, when an effort
will be made to get everyone possible
to Join.

wagon there and sold vegetables to
the women housekeepers who hap
pened along The same low prices
that featured the market Saturday
were in force, but there was some
disappointment that the market had
degenerated into ''one-horse affair"
The men who had charge of two lone
rigs on Saturday did not reappear
and the horse attached to Kellberga
rig attempted a farmers horse trick
by gently dropping on all tours to
take a nap on the hard macadam
pavement. This restful habit was not
encouraged. however, and the mourn
full steed, with distinct attitude of
ennui, stood blanloeted, while It's in

remarked a pleasant faced matron
as she bought some asparagus, onions
and other greenery for the MONDAY
meal.
Backward crops were the official
explanation given for the lonesome
ness of the market environs. Local
dealers had most attractive displays
in the selling zone and they also
shared the prosperity of the vendors
who were not burdened with rents
and clerk hire, as we'll as other SELL
ing facilities.
Thursday and Saturday are the
other market days for the week.
