Motor Car Grocery

The old fashioned pedlars cart,
with its picturesque array Of new
brooms and shiny pans, is outdone by
an deliberately equipped grocery store
which now motors up.to the farmery
doors in the neighborhood of Pine
Bluff. Arkansas. For time this
grocer supplied a 15-mile circuit, but
his customers took to his idea so
readily that he now finds a flve-mile
route quite enough to handle.
The ingeniously contrived motor
car store is both the invention and in
large part the handiwork of the own
er. He bought a two-ton truck chas-
sis and built the body himself from
ash yellow pine and sheet steel.
The groceries carried in TIE truck
are sold on the cash basis. and are
bought paid for and delivered at one
time. the vehicle starts out on its
caily route stocked with goods which
experience has taught can be sold.
1t pulls up outside the customers
house. and the driver rings a bell
mounted on the left side of the wind
shield. This notifies the customer that
the truck has arrived

The annual meeting Of city and

duties of the assessors would involve
the registering of the voters in the
county for a special election to be
held for the purpose of electing a sue
cessor to the late Congressman Hell
gesen is being discussed.
No provision has been made in the
state for such IN election. and it is
quite probable that the attorney gen.
eral will be asked for an opinion as
to the method Of procedure in the
matter.
Among the first to arrive in the city
this morning to attend the meeting
were G. b. Johnson, city auditor OF
Northwood; AL Lindsay of Marvel,

ADJUSTMENTS
Hood.

HODln HOOD.
robin Hood which will be pro-
duesd at the Metropolitan tneater
Wednesday night, April IS, is ac-
knowledged to be the greatest MASTER
piece OF comic opera ever written by
Americans. The charm Of Reginald
de Koven's music is as fresh today as
when 1t was first enjoyed rs years ago,
and the dialogue Of Harry B, Smith
is as sparkling now as it was then.
Like a fine old wine, robin Hood"
seems to improve with age. It has
stood the acid test Of time because it
is a real work of art, and the genius
which inspired it should crafty the
pride Of every American.
Nothing could be more fascinating
than the story upon which the opera
was founded. The old English tale Of
Robin Hood and his band Of outlaws
is a famous one, and their merry
pranks in Sherwood Forest have sup
piled Sir Walter Scott and other writ
ers with stories which, will live as
long as our, language. Around this
lightful opera by de Koven and
Smith, n in its musical form they
nave given us a new pleasure that
adds zest to the story of the greatest
of English popular heroes.
robin Hood" was by no means an
imaginary character. He really ex-
listed. and his romantic adventures
happened during the reign Of Rich
ard Occur de Lion, the very mention
of whose name arouses a thrill. Rob-
in Hood was originally a nobleman.
who became an outlaw in revenge for
an Injustice done him by the authorl-
ties. He was extremely popular with
the common people, and little wonder,
for he only robbed the rich and char
ed his spoils with the poor. He easily
evaded the officers Of the law, whose
unsuccessful efforts to catch him fur
nish much of the humor Of the opera.
The love scenes between him and
Maid Marian r. without doubt the
most romantic in all comic opera.
For this we should be devoutly CRATE
full, for all the world loves a lover,
except. perhaps, his rival.
An opera Of such merit as "Robin
Hood" demands a singing cast Of the
highest order, and the coming pro-
duction fully meet this requirement,
as the principals are all Of good opera
calibre.
In the cast is dainty Ivy Scott, who
made her debut at the Grand Opera
in Australia where she made an in
Simultaneous success.

and Will Be Able to Leave tho
Hospital Within Few Days.

An A-ray examination Of the
wound was taken today and it was

Of no avail up to the present time.
