Tim Puts One Over:
Takes Child Himself

Tim Conner. porter and baggage
handler at the Northeastern station,
put one over" this morning, when,
on being discharged in Police Court
on complaint of non-support filed in
behalf of his child with a warning
that he must do better in the future,
he took the boy away from it's grand
mother, and carried it to the home of
his father
The charge had been made against
the porter by his mother-in-law She
testified that the father had given but
little money and fewer clothes to the
child for months. She had witnesses
to testify to this fact. Tim, on the
contrary, declared he contributed
$3.50 week to the child and bought
many clothes for it.
The Mayor dismissed the case, but
stated that if any complaint was regis
tered in the future against the por
ter's failing to care for the child he
would reopen the matter.
Then it was that Conner walked
over, grasped the boy by the arm and
carried him out of the court room
The grandmother protested, saying
that the child would be mistreated
worse than ever in the future But
the police did not interfere.

: Mary Pickford, the worlds most
popular screen star, appears in the
leading role of 'Cintierella" at the
Lomo Theatre today. The story OF
"Cinderella' is too well known to re-
quire lengthy description, but all
the familiar beauties of the tale are
enhanced in the photo-production with
many added odd touches, pathetic
romantic and humorous. The naughty
sisters will be seen in all their con-
ceit and grotesque ugliness, the cruel
and patrician stepmother who is all
sweetness to her own daughters, and
all unkindness to Cinderella; the hand
some prince who wins the cinder-girfs
heart. and loses his own to her, in
the forest, where he first meets her
staggering under load of fagots, and
who ever after dreams of her as the
princess of his soul and throne, which
she afterwards becomes in reality.

DIVISION OF
MARKETINGHAS
BIGGEST MONTH

The Territorial Marketing Division
has just passed the largest month in
its history so far as sales were con
cerned. August's report shows total
gain over July of approximately $4,000
Total sales for August were $16,897.2S,
A. T. Lpngley, superintendent of the
division, points with pride to figures
showing retail vegetables sales for
August to be S2l34.9O: retail meat
$S6O3.3l; commission business, $10,'
622.27 and niisceIla neous, $336.S0.
Although there was no retail vege.
table or meat business handled at the
division building last year, the com.
mission business alone Tor 1916 is
practically twice as large. as the en-.
tire sales for August, 1915.
This unprecedented leap of business
in IL months is due largely TO the in,
creased sale of meat, according to
Longiey, and vegetables in large lots.
He says one can work himself to death
on 500 worth of green vegetables and
then realize all the profit from the big
sales that never appear on the conn-
ferS.
