Navy and Marine Corps Notes.
| II you want to flnd any Of the Navy
or Marine Corp officers still in town
these hot days go to the Center market
Saturday morning and there. either In
side Of the building or strolling in and
out along the way OF the country
wagons, you will be sure to find your
man.
This is particularly true II he is an
admiral or one Of the older officers, as
| the custom is quite an old one. the
| only difference being that formerly
you would be sure to find your officer
followed by his man or boy bearing
large market basket. in which was car
ried home the mornings purchases, and
now the purchases, while quite as lib
orally made. are delivered by the deal
ers. If the vegetables and berries are
purchased along with the fresh-laid
eggs from the veritable country man
or woman outside the market, they are
taken care of and delivered by the Of
| ficer's particular butcher or fshmonger
bwithin the building.

| down to the market some sunshtny Sat
| urday morning and you will find your
self bowling right and left to about
every last one of the older officers of
the Navy and Marine Corps. for good
old-fashioned customs die hard with
| the service.
