 Harry Norriss, who pilots the welfare of the Sanitary Market. is celebra ting this institutions second year in busi- ness today. And to see Harry moving about directing things would lead to the impression that he wasn't much older Harry is a hard fighter when it comes to price-cutting, and a trip to the Sani- tary Market this morning will reveal an array of bargains hard to beat Read over his list on this page.
 The Peerless Market is offering special bargains to traders in the morning hour. By drawing trade before noon. it relieves the congestion later on. And the prices placed on meats, groceries and fish up to the noon hour will pay any good housewife to take advantage of them. The up-to-noon specials are pork chops, pork steak fat hens, flyers and fish. So it's up to the women to do the rest
 
 The Mercantile Supply company buys most of its supplies direct from the pro- queer in the country, and can sell stuff that is always fresh and sweet. They specialize in poultry. eggs, honey, syrup. country hams, and everything else that is good They also carry a full line of supplies for the farmer himself. The boys behind this firm are all experienced in the game, and treat the consumer right. ss
 Catanzano Bros. informed me yesterday that they were loaded with delicacies of the season. They claimed to have many good things that others have not They have their own cold storage plant and this enables them to handle stuff in large quantities and take the cash dis counts. If it's a fresh fish, fat hen or fryer you wish, here's the place to get them. Also a fine line of vegetables, fruit and melons.
 
 The Washington Market had a success full opening yesterday. Great crowds were going in and out all day. Some of the choicest cuts of meats were to be seen on the counters. A fine deiicateSsen lay- out was also on hand, and these. to- gether with a nice line of fish, fruits and vegetables, made tempting array for the opening day The fixtures and conveniences, all in white, made good impression with the trade

JAPANES STATESMAN
 ADMIRED UNITED STATES

TOKYO, March Is (by mail) Much attention Is being paid by the press to changed conditions in America. The Kokumin today publishes a long inter- view with Marquis Okuma, the late prime minister and head of the Liberal party. under the title, "A wide-Awaks Nation and Sleepy Nation"
 In brief, Marquis Okuma observes that foreign and domestic policies of the United States since she joined the war show that the whole strength of the country Is directed towards unify. ing the nation and making 1t stronger after the war. In conclusion he turned his attention towards Japan where he finds the people are listless and like fishermen sleepily sitting on the river bank and waiting for something to bite instead of being alert to meet the needs and opportunities of the coun- try after the war
