PLAN PUBLIC
MARKET HERE
''Old Postoffice Building May
Be Utilized for Benefit of
Farmers Produce
AUCTION OFF ALL STALLS
Promoters Of Project Will Of
fer Structure to City Ab-
.solutely Free Of Rent

A movement is afoot to utilize the
old postoffice building, at Market and
G streets, for a public market. It
is proposed by the businessmen and
property owners in that vicinity to
pay the rental for the rooms formerly
occupied by the postoffice and the
entire Kellogg building, which would
give a frontage on Market and G
streets as well as the alley.
This Is in direct line with the prop.
osition to establish city market in
which the farmers as we'll as con-
sumers are becoming quite interested
and would afford a central trading
point beneficial to both.
The project as now being considered
is for those directly interested to offer
the market to the city free of charge,
the city only being obligated to clean
it each day 1t should be used, which
4 could be done at slight expense with
"a fire hose.
The use of the market would be
aS's olutely free to farmers of the coun-
ty, Except as to the cost of fitting up
the stalls which would be under ac-
ceptab able regulations, so as to preserve
uniformity and absolute fairness to ALL
ITO effect this it has been suggested
that plans be prepared, subject to the
approval Of the county farm expert
for the stalls, and that upon an adver-
tised date choice Of location be auc.
toned off to the farmers, minimum

would give each farmer absolute con.

would be perfectly satisfactory. It

Junction City, North Aberdeen and

overlook some house; and, In view Of
this chance, citizens who know Of
such cases Of omission are requested
to telephone to the school board, No.

each name means $50 more added to
the money for this school district,
from state funds, the omission Of a

As to Appropriations.

It is amusing to observe how Repub- lican lamentations over the extrava gance of the Democratic congress go side by side with denunciations of it for it's failure to increase the army and make great appropriations for coast defense. These critics fail to recognize the fact that of the appro. priations made by congress- probably 40 per cent are for pensions and the support of the army and navy. Of the remaining 60 per cent the post office department absorbs large share, and the ordinary running ex- penses of the government consume the rest. These cannot be seriously diminished, and if the army is to be largely increased it can only be done through augmenting the revenues. That, in turn, would call out hypocrit. ical jeremiads over the alleged finan cial incompetency of the Democrats, and more denunciations of the new taxes. If the American people want a large army they must be willing to pay for it by more or less onerous taxation, just as European nations do. Economy and a large army and navy don't jibe well together.

is the equally old-fashioned netting. For long years past this species of handwork has been left almost ex- clusively to fishermen and their wives.
 It served for fishing nets and that was about all. But now it is coming back as fast as 1t can to the place it occupied, let us say, a hundred years ago, in the repertoire of fancy work for women
 Then was the time when dainty slipper-cased feet were put forward and used in the service of the kind of fancy work known as knitting. Now machinery does a great deal of the work which human fingers aided by the foot used to do.
 But whether wrought by fingers or machinery, it remains a fact that old fashioned netting is a distinct revival and that its presence in drawing rooms throws an air of fashion around them. The effect of embroidery upon it are now more artistic than of yore, na. ture as well as pictures oftea serving as models.
