special police, clerks and officials,
along with their sweethearts and their
wives and children. Many brokers who
had invited their friends and families
down to witness the festival were un-
able to get Onto the crowded floor, so
they filled the galleries and enjoyed
the celebration from that vantage point

Lounsbury, as Santa Claus, with numer-
Gus assistants. distributed toys and
candy TO every person present. The
girls received dolls and books, while

Heavy Losses Suffered
In Frozen Vegetables
Fruit Also Frostbitten and
Dealers Hesitate to Bring
in Large Supplies

Heavy losses we're suffered by ship
pers and receivers Of perishable fruit
and vegetables in the late cold spell,
according to officials Of the State De-
partment Of Farms and Markets. Vir-
tnally all the perishables which have
arrived here in the last week have
come either partly frostbitten or com
pletely destroyed.
Because of n fear Of heavy losses
dealers have hesitated to bring in large
with the result that there
are comparatively small supplies on
hand here, although the demand is pow
erful and consistent. One consignment
of many hundreds Of packages of pars-
ley, carrots, beets, romaine and beans
from Bermuda virtually was destroyed
in transit and was refused by local con-
s;gnees.
1t is expected that Edwin O'Ma!ley.
Markets Commissioner. will inspect
some of these supposedly frozen com
with a view to obtaining tn EN-
at nominal price and distributing
them to the poor.

HOW TO OUT.ROEBUCK SEARS
(From the Tampa Tribune.)

(From the Tampa Tribune.)
The average small town merchant
pleads with the people to patronize
him, not the big mail-order house,
because he is "home merchant" be-
cause he pays taxes here" because
he "helps support your churches and
schools.
All these are good reasons for pat
ronizing him, and most of the people
do patronize him; but it is evident
that many purchasers demand a saw
ing on their purchase as we'll as a
chance to be loyal and patriotic or
the big mail-order houses would not
have attained their present gigantic
proportions.
A Charlottesville (Ind.) live mer>
chant believes he can keep his trade
at home only by giving his customers
the same goods for the same or less
money than the mail-order house
and he is showing his faith by his
works, as the following advertise
ment appearing in the Charlottesville
Journal shows:
We do not ask your trade simply
because we happen to pay taxes here
help support the schools, churches
roads and so on, but because we can
and will save you money.
A short time ago a'gentleman came
into our store and requested us tc
sign petition to the legislature tC
tax mail-order houses a per cent or
all Of their merchandise sold. We
refused to sign It. We don't want
Athe government to help us meet com.

petition in that way. We don't say
that Montgomery Ward and Co.'S and
Sears, Roebuck and Co.'s merchan-
disc is second grade. A business
could grow to the size of theirs only
by fair and square dealing.
1t is every PERSONS right to buy
merchandise where he wants to. We
do it, and so should you, and every
one else. We buy where we can buy
the best merchandise for the least
money-you should do the same.

ton, but what think you, neighbor, of
forty-cent soda fountain connection
as a necessity of life?
1t may be question as to how far
the parallel of money spending and
wage demanding extends. But it
seems a fair question to ask: How
much money are we spending need
lessly? And may it b asked: Are we
really in want of the necessaries, or
is it the luxuries and the money spent
for the mthat leaves the hole in our
resources?
An ice cream soda is not great
luxury. But the price Of ice cream
sodas begins to approximate the price
of luxuries. Two or three years ago
1t was customary to pay five cents for
generous dip of ice cream floating
in bath of fizz water Now the
same preparation fetches seventeen
cents. OF course, tnis includes two
cents war tax; but the war tav was
applied on the basis Of a ten cent
drink. The dealers, not to be out
done in increasing, and perceiving,
with what facility the government
could produce two cents in revenue,
promptly wenthe government three
cents better adding a nickel.
Root beer, near relative Of pop,
sells at from six to ten cents glass;
and this in spite of advertisements
which urge the people to make their
own root beer at the rate of eighty
glasses or Whereabouts for a quarter.
But it is not alone the. soda foun-
tain which engages our attention. It
is only that the soda fountain is in
such an exposed position. The pur-
chaser is able to see that his drink is
made froma spoonful of strip and a
glassful of water; perhaps little ice
cream; mayhap cherry, ito give it
class the price ranges from seven
teen to forty cents.
Are we doing anything 10 make a
better bargain or are we simply ac-
| cepting the blind dictum that "prices
hav gone up and therefore we must
pay whatever is demanded? Is it
possible that pop and ice cream
would stay up in the air very long if
we took turn at the water faucet for
spell? And if we did patronize the
faucet would our lives be less pleas
urable? Would we suffer as from
lack of an absolute essential?
Suppose we try to get into the
mood of essentialism; determine tc
cut down the luxuries, or rather, the
non-essentials. Does it not seem
probable that we might cultivate q
better use of the things we really
need?-Chicago Tribune.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 2S.-The old
fashioned polka and minuet will
share honors with the new Liberty
waltz at the Confederate reunion in
Atlanta October 40.
For the first time in the history Of
the reunions, arrangements will TIE
made at he grand balls for the veter-
ans and their ladies to have the floor
tc themselves at certain intervals
during the evening.
Two balls will be given at Atlanta s
city auditorium, the vast hall capable
of seating 10000 people. The rows OF
chairs will be removed from the
arena, the floor will be polished un-
til it shones like diamonds, and on
the big stage will be seated an or
chestra second only in size to tina t
of the Metropolitan Opera Company.
In order that the Confederate vet
Grams shall in truth be the lions Of
the evening, and shall not have to
give way entirely to the younger folk,
the program for both balls will open
with a grand march in which the
men of 1876, many of them in
their old gray uniforms, will march
around the room under brilliant
lights, waving their tattered banners.
Again, the dance program will be
so arranged that the minuet and the
polka will alternate with the one
step and the Liberty waltz, with the
jazz and the peace trot. The veterans
will take the floor and to the strains
of "In the Cleaning" "Bonny Eloise"
and other songs of the sixties, trip
through the dainty old-fashioned steps
with the gracious and courtly women
Of the old South and with their beau
tiful granddaughters and grand
nieces.
The two balls will be the most bril-
liant social events of the reunion.
Admission for Sons of Confederate
veterans will be limited to those who
are members in good standing OF
some camp or another. All Sons
must also be members in good stand
ing Of camp in order to get the
cheap rate Of one cent mile to and
from Atlanta. All others VINO are
relatives Of Confederate veterans,
whether the veterans are living or
dead, can get the rate by presenting a
certificate of eligibility when they
purchase tickets. Such certificates
are procurable from any camp, de-
partmental or division commander
