thrilling experience on Saturday
night. He had spent the evening at

the injured man, whose face was

PARIS, June Herman avia-

on the American flyers in the La

given a fair chance in single COM

whelm it with a number of fight
ing planes.
DR.. Edmund Gros, chief organi-
ger of the famous corps, made
this statement today in voicing an
appeal to Americans back home
to give the escadrille moral and
material support.
when an American aviator ap-
pears in the sky it is signal for
an enemy attack in force" he de-
clared. THE American flag and
the Indian head-the squadron S
emblem, painted on their planes
have but one meaning to the
enemy, and that is revenge
against America.

they must fight against several

cry that ought to be better known

During the four hours, it was
found that some of the goods had
become even cheaper than the
early morning quotations, due to
competition. Most of the dealers,
for instance, were selling radlshes
at four punches for 5 cents at 10
o'clock, but by 2 o'clock all were
giving six punches. In Tacoma
the universal price is three
punches for a nickel.

commissioner of Seattle, who has

But we have been able to main
tain the municipal markets, hir-
ing a market master, an assistant.
and three janitors, on the 10-cent

Big Patronage.
During 1916, the Seattle Off
cial records show, the total num-
Der of farmers selling at the mar
ket for the year as 51,328. The
cash received, $5,132, more than
paid for every expense in con-
nection with the place.
We've had an awful fight
with the commission men, because
they know that the public market
is strangling them to death. They
are continually trying to get their
agents into the market. But our
inspectors visit all the farms to
make sure that the dealers really
are selling their own goods, and
there isn't chance for the COM
mission men to get foothold.'
Crowds Busy There.

prices. the commissioner and l
