seems to us that its suspension

AVIATION IS LATEST FAD
OF EUROPE'S NOBILITY

LONDON, Aug: 15.-Before much
more time has passed, an admiring
world may be treated to display of
aviation every item of which will be
furnished by an airman Cor airwom-
am of royal blood. This reflection
is induced by the fact that Princess
Ludwig of Lowenstein-Werthe is
learning to fly at Hendon on the
Wright and Handley aeroplanes, AID
that Prince Henry of Prussia, Prince
Axel of Denmark and Prince Sigs-
mund of Prussia already are avia-
tors.
Meanwhile to organize a flying dis
play by members of the British peer
age would be the merest child's play
prominent among such flyers would
be, of course Lord Carbery, who took
part in the recent Hendon to Paris
| flight and fell into the channel on the
return journey, and Lord Edward
Grosvenor, who is an uncommonly
expert pilot not to mention Right
;; Hon. Winston Churchill, who is
qualifying fast for his pilots certif1-
cate. Then among noble British avia-
tors, some of whom are in the Royal
Flying corps, we have Sir Archibald
Sinclair Bart, Hon. NJ Egerton, Hon.
F. W: Vernon, Sir Bryan Leighton,
Bart. Hon. Rupert Lyttleton-Pelham,
Hon. J.. awford-Kehrmann, Hon.
Claud Brabazon, Sir Alex Bannerman,

TO BOOST
PUBLIC MARKETS
Officials Will Make Auto Tour
to Urge Farmers to Bring
Produce to City.
MAYOR OPPOSES A PLAN !
FOR ONE CENTRAL MARKET
Says Present Scheme of Three
Market Places More Prac-
tical for City.

. An automobile tour through the
farming district near Duluth will be
taken by Mayor Prince and c. P.
Craig, chairman of the Comm ercial
clubs agricultural committee, in an
effort to stimulate interest in Duluth's
public markets.
Mayor Prince will learn today when
the trip is to be taken. 1t is possible
that two days will be devoted to the
work of visiting the farmers and i'm
pressing on them the advantages of
bringing their produce to the city
marts.
Farmers Score, He Says.
The mayor. said yesterday that the
a condition where there are too many
customers for the number, Of farmers.
He mentioned that at the Armory
yesterday there were but seven farm
ers and they disposed OF their goods
from 1880 until noon. Many pros
pective patrons who came late were
disappointed.
The plan to establish a central
market does not meet with response
from Mayor Prince, who believes that
the present system of West Duluth
and West End branches together with
the .Armory market, is the more prac-
teal. 49,
Opposes Capitalization.
IF only one market was main
tanned, and that at some downtown
location, few suburban residents
would patronize it, inasmuch as they
would be obligated to make the trips

u. SUPERlOR
SUPERIOR: 5 :! | | TAKES
PROGRESSIVE STEP
Efforts Being Made to Use
School Buildings for Polling
49,, Places. l.

In preparation for the primary cleo
ton to be held on Sept. 1, city clerk
r. p. McKeague is comforting with
the public school officials to ascer-
tain how many of the school build
ings can be, used for polling places
The clerk has tentative plans for
the use of five school buildings. Four
ether polling places will be located in
fire halls, so that only five polling
places is considerable item in the
city's election expenses and by cutting
the number of places rented in half a
considerable saving will be effected.
Schools whjcl. the clerk desires to
use and the precincts which they
would serve are as eollows:<
. Lincoln school, second ward; Eric
son school, east precinct of the third
ward; Carpenter school, second pre-
cinct of the fourth ward; Superior
High school, fifth ward; Blaine school
east precinct of the sixth ward.
/ It is also possible that the Howe
school will be used for the second pre-
ctnct of the seventh ward.
The matter of lighting is the only
obstacle that may prevent the schools
being used. However, this can be ar
ranged for in a. satisfactory manner
it is thought as all of the schools have
electric lights and additional lights
could easily be Installer. ~.
In case the schools are used for the
elections this fall and the experiment
proves success, there will probably
be a. Encouragement of the voting
precincts so that all polling places will
be located either in school building
or fire hall, thus doing away entirely
with the item OF rent in election ex-
penditures.
