this mornings wholesale market

On this mornings wholesale market there was not. as much business car- rfed on as there was yesterday. Fri day markets everywhere are light. The buying was only normal this morning, though a few farmers were out of the market by 7:30.

It deals with those farmers only who use this market The total was s2,375 or about $100 per farmer of average sizey Frosts usually come about three or four weeks later and thus did quite some damage.
 Tomatoes held high today and the peddlers Sdid not murmur even at the high prices.

PLAZA

4 Herculean feats of strength shown . bv Ralph-Bay11 6 Company are phe- romenal wonders at the Plaza theatre this week. dividing in interest with that herolworshipped idol of the pub lie, Earle Williams. in the big extra ordinary feature photo-play, Trans gresston.' S~ lsi.& formed by Ralph -Bayhl & Company are far beyond conception through verbal expression. With a big routine of stunts that woaitG make Sandow himself sit up and take notice he springs the true surprise when he has fplaced upon alfs feet an entire house ! in which six men are sitting and easily and gracefully balances them in the z air without mechanical contrivance. This feature is alone worth a trip to the Plaza
 But this Is not all of the vaudeville side of the big performances for Moore, White and Bliss. featuring Johnny Bliss, a local boy gives an ex- ceilent opportunity to sea this trio in a whirlwind action of uance steps, song and talk that was a riot, of fun
 saxton & Farrell in their gripping sketch, Troubles of an Actress, r give that touch of pathos interm4ngled with comedy which goes to make success ful act before the Bridgeport public.
 Mona. Herbert, clever musician having at his command all tricks of the trade, maks sound come from anearly every object fe can reach upon a full set stage. This indeed is an other of the novelties promised by Manager Mccarthy of the Plaza for the big vaudeville offering of Bridge port this week.
 In "Tranggression," Earle Williams is seen at his niftiest, the same smooth clever and well dressed man who is the leading feature of all photoplay actors today. "Transgression, is a theme that has a punch and is power full in its attractiveness.
 Episode lovers will thrill with the eighth wonder ofitfie sFatal Ring" in which Miss White Is starring.
 The Plaza is-the Playgoer's paradise this week.

PUT every ONE in ARMY
IS PLAN OF REP. KAHN
California Solon to Urge Drastic
Measure Before House.

Representative Julius Kahn, Of Califor-
mia, ranking Republican member OF the
House Military Affairs Committee. re-
turned to Washington yesterday announc-
ing that when Congress convenes he
would Immediately demand universal mil
itary service as advocated by the army
general stan.
The general staTs plan is much more
drastic than the form of universal mill
tary training advocated by Senator Cham
berlain. of Oregon. The former calls for
one year of actual service with the army.
with every citizen being liable to military
service whenever needed for eight years
thereafter. The general staff bill was in
troduced during the last session Of Con-
sress. but was sidetracked by the House
Military Affairs Committee
This measure has the approval OF our
military experts" Representative Kahn
said yesterday. "Tf We don't follow the
advice of experts we shall fail TO do our
duty. | shall insist that this bill be en-
acted by the House Immediately"
