A WHOLESALE MARKET

DONALD MCCORMICK. food ad-
IL ministrator, is on the right
track in his proposal to increase the
amount of farm produce brought to
Harrisburg by establishing a whole
sale market here, where retailer and
consumer alike may buy fruits and
vegetables in quantity lots at prices
naturally somewhat lower than are
charged for the same articles sold
IN small amounts.
The more produce brought to
town, the better. Farmers com
plain that under the forestalling or
dinance they cannot retail all of
their goods-that the larger grow
ers cannot sell over the counter all
the stuff they bring to town ard
that some goes to waste. This is
no time either for waste or to dis
courage production. We need
every mouthful of food that can be
produced, and the more there is on
sale here and elsewhere, the lower
the price-the never-f failing law of
supply and demand will attend to
that
So we may very well consider
ways and means of increasing the
supply, ard the wholesale market
would seem to be step in the
right direction. It has proved help
full in other cities. In Buffalo and
Philadelphia, for example, the
wholesale market offers the thrifty
housewife opportunity to buy beans,
apples, tomatoes, etc, by the bas-
ketIul III SEASON lOT Canning al
prices she can afford.
1t may be that we shall have to
apply the rule of home supply first
in the development of such a mar
ket here-that is, to forbid sales be-
ing made there to buyers for ship
| ment abroad. Another rule that
might be helpful would be that any
person, consumer or retailer, might
buy at wholesale prices in quantity
lots without discrimination.
Mr.. McCormicks experiment is
we'll worth. trying. Anything that
promises an increased supply OF
food, with a possibility of more rea-
sonable prices, is worthy of closest
consideration.

Unprecedented Publicity

From the Phila. North American.
Like every other development in
the controversy over the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations,
the arranging of to-morrow's con-
ference at the White House is hailed
by both sides as brilliant strategic
victory.
Partisans of the President exult-
antly declare that the stiff-necked
opponents of his policy have been
brought to heel by his stern attitude.
Then Senators, say the chief ad-
ministration organ, have agreed ito
stop behaving like spoiled children"
and will discuss matters with Presi-
dent Wilson, (which is what they
ought to have done five weeks ago."
Those. who stand for the protec-
ton of American rights in the Lea
que covenant also express satisfac
ton, and with reasons somewhat
more substantial. They have never
objected to receiving enlightenment
from President Wilson upon the pro-
longed, secret and momentous nego-
tiations he conducted in Paris. For
nine months, on the contrary, they
have employed every resource of
argument and appeal in efforts to
draw from him satisfactory ac-
count of his mission and convincing
reasons why the United States should
make, as he recommends, "the SUI
preme sacrifice, without counting
the cost" Far from repelling his
confidence, they have invited, i'm
plored and demanded it.
What they would by no means
consent to was a repetition of the
procedure at the White House din
ner of last February, at which Mr..
Wilson gratified his guests with
some agreeable rhetoric, but gave
them no real information whatso-
ever and which was designated as u
social gathering held under the seal
of confidence. Their position was
that the principle of "open cove
nants openly arrived at" had had
sufficient demonstration in the secret
proceedings at Paris, and that the
processes of ratification, at least,
should be carried out in the public
view.

Is q Real Dream Dancer
[From the Toronto Globe j


Madame Caro- Campbell, who is to
appear at series of matinees in
London, is a dream dancer" 1t is
claimed she has no technical knowl-
edge of dancing, but that it was dis
covered in 1910, when she was treat
ed for insomnia, that she had pc
culiar subconscious faculty for re-
acting to music. This faculty has
been developed, and under-so we
are told-hynotic influences she
gives Interpretation to any music
which is played or sung in her hear
ing.
AT a private performance at the
theater medical men were invited to
go on the stage and examine the
dancer while she was in a state of
trance. No doctor accepted the in
vitation and the hypnotic condition
had therefore to be taken ION trust"
What the audience saw was a fair
haired girl in a short apple green
gown and dancing sandals who col
lapsed on the stage after her hus-
band had held her hands and stared
into her eyes for about thirty sec
onds. She remained inanimate until
pianist and a 'cellist began to play.
Then she rose and gave a rather at
tractive exhibition of eurythmics.
When the music stopped Madame
Caro- Campbell assumed, rigid
pose, and held it until the orchestra
played the last sad chord of the
"Valse Triste," by Sibelius.

moresque," a twilight song. Rach-
manioy's most familiar prelude, and
Mendelssohn's Spring Song" fol-
lowed, with variety in the form of
the dancers response to a dramatic
recitation by Mr.. Hubert Carter. At
the end of each item there was a
new tensely held pose until melody
restored movement to madame's
limbs and facial muscles. After the
performance had gone on for about
forty minutes the dancer was "awak-
ened."

conditions, the reduction of con-
struction cost of dwellings and the
financing of extended home building
operations without Federal appro-
priation. 1t would also assist COM
munities during the present hous-
ing shortage in making available to
the utmost extent all existing hous-
ing facilities and serve as a clear
ing house of information on hous-
ing and living conditions.
The author of the bill addressed
Congress on the subject the other
day and explained that, as n result
of its war-housing program, the
Government had accumulated a vast
fund of information and experience
on industrial housing which should
be made available to every COM
munity in the United States. Out
of the large experience of the Gov
ernmental activities in developing
the great housing programs made
necessary by the war; and for which
over $100,0O0.O0O was expended.
there should be available much
practical information that could be
utilized for the benefit of the entire
country. In the course of his speech
Mr.. Tinkham said:
Notwithstanding the high cost
of part of this work, due to the
war and the modification of plans
because of shortage of certain
materials. the bulk of this eXper-
fence is of a character to be of
direct, practical benefit to indi-
Nidual workers building their
own homes. to employers con-
structing low priced dwellings
for the market. and to communi-
ties seeking to provide adequate
living conditions for their citi-
zens.
No existing agency of the Gov
ernment is now authorized to col
lect. analyZe, correlate and in
terpret this experience and to
make it available to the country
1t offers the greatest opportunity
before the Federal Government
for Salvaging permanent values
from our enormous war eNpendi-
lures.
Harrisburg was mentioned in the
course of the Massachusetts, repre-
sentatives remarks as among the
American cities in which there was
an acute housing shortage.
The plans for aiding in the solu-
ton of the housing problem under
the proposed act of Congress are
comprehensive and no situation to-
day is more serious than that which
this measure is designed to relieve.
Nothing should be left undone to
provide homes for the people. Con-
tentment and peace depend upon
the right solution of this after-war
problem

81 will not resign"
That was the retort delivered yes
terday by Judge John NJ. Patterson,
candidate for mayor of Phlladcl-
phia, to the demand that he quit
the bench while engaged ir politi-
cal campaign.
In his private chambers in City
Hall, the judge announced his in
tention of remaining on the bench,
while bidding for the highest office
of the municipal government. He
was emphatic in his statement-he
not only declared his attitude, but
readily gave five reasons for that
policy.
"I will not resign" said the
judge. 81 will not resign until I am
elected mayor l have no apologies
to offer for being a candidate for
that office"
Mine candidates are in the con-
test for the Republican nominations
for county commissioner in Fayette
county, two to be nominated. Three
and possibly four candidates will
fight it out for the Republican nomi-
nation for sheriff. these two offices
constituting what promises to be the
bitterest fight waged in a primary
campaign in many years.
The Commissionership candidates
are: George W. Hibbs and George
Orval Rush, who are understood to
have the support of the county or
ganization; John Langley, a former
commissioner; ]. ]. Curry, Alex r.
Duncan, P. A. John, a former
sheriff; Logan Rush. present Com
missioner Lewis Clemmer; Frank r.
Moore and owen Stewart. Hibbs is
serving as commissioner to fill the
unexpired term of a former COM
missioner who died while in office.
-Coatesville, the smallest city in
the third class clique in this State,
is looking forward to a municipal
election from a point of enthusiasm
this fall that will eclipse any former
selection of candidates. Heal inter
est will center on the nomination
for mayor on the Republican ticket.
Three candidates have already reg
istered. including Albert H. Swing,
incumbent, who the conservative
citizens, including the Rev. T. w.
Mckinney, the militant pastor of
the NJ. z. Church, say has proven
A No. l as a mayor. w. i. w.
Jones has thrown his hat in the
ring again and seeks the Republi-
can nomination for mayor. There
is also another candidate for chief
executive in the person of Jesse L.
Bryson, an engineer on the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway.
