TO DISCUSS PURCHASE
OF NEW GAS PLANT

Meeting OF the committee ON public
buildings and utilities will he held
tonight at 8 O'clock to receive res
port from itr subcommittee appoint
ed to look into the ACCESSIBILITY of
buying the old Eenrieo gas plant.
The subcommittee viii meet ut 1880
to range a report for the main
body.
The proposition to be discussed was
suggested in the council several weeks
ago hy Il. Lee Roden. who represents
the Norihside. The old gas plant was
taken into the city when the northern
section was annexed. and now the
residents OF North Richmond want
the same kind Of gas the other parts
Of the city get. II is believed the gas
plant can be bought at cost, and the
subcom mit.ee from the committee on
public buildings and utilities was set
to the task OF thoroughly investigat-
ing the whole proposition. IL Ia
thought the matter viii reach some
sort of decision tonight.

HOW DO YOU SAY
HELLO TO KINGS
IN ROYAL TALK?

If you meet Bill Jones on the
street, you say ''Howdy Bill" and
let it go at that.
Bill doesn't get sore at the famil-
iarity and he speaks to you the next
time he sees you.
But suppose you were some of
the municipal officials of the tri-
cities who will be on the welcoming
committee next Saturday when
King Albert and Queen Elizabeth
Of Belgium arrive.
It's a dead sure cinch you
couldn't say:
'''Lo AL, old boy!"
That's too familiar.
Anyway, the city officials are
studying upon this kind situation
stuff and expect to get away with
the greetings in regular court style.
But if they don't, and they make
a blunder, King Albert will not get
peeved, because he is broad-mind-
ed man and realizes that in America
there is no royalty and the custom
airy way of showing how a fellow
stands with the crowd is to lisen to
the demonstration that is untapped
when he arrives.

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Sept Observation-Disclosures
ing assertions in some quarters that
farm commodities have of late
dropped to a point probably below
the real cost of production, the
downward slide of the corn market
has made further progress this
week. Corn prices this morning
showed declines varying from y C
to &c a bnshel compared with a
week ago. Oats were unchanged
to &c lower In provisions the
diffe@nces ranged from also de-
cline to $1.221a advance.
One of the main reasons ascribed
for the fresh setback in the value
of corn was the prospect that this
year the new crop would be ready
TO market much earlier than usual
In this connection a good deal of
notice was taken of the fact that
one shipment of new corn was slat-
ed TO arrive in Chicago Monday,
beating previous records by about
two weeks. Besides, reports indi-
Gated that new corn was condition
ing rapidly in all sections and that
to an important extent the plan by
which producers would system att

Y. W. G. A. TO SERVE
2 NOON LUNCHES
TO BUSINESS GIRLS

So popular was the MONDAY
luncheon served to business women
of the city last Wednesday at the
Y. W. c. A. that a committee having
in charge the sponsoring of the af-
fairs. has decided to hold two such
luncheons a week during the re-
mainder OF the Sunday campaign.
Therefore beginning next Tuesday
there will be two noon day lunch
cons, Tuesday and Wednesday
from 1870 to 1880 o'clock. Mrs.
Asher will address the girls on
Wednesday and on Tuesday some
other member of the party will be
in attendance to speak and conduct
the meeting following the serving
of the luncheon.
The first luncheon served last
Wednesday proved satisfying
meal and a pleasing occasion and
undoubtedly many girls who did
not attend last time will take adj
vantage of the opportunity to go
next week.
