EXPORTERS WELC0dk
RETURN OF PEACE

No business interests more heartily
welcome a return 10 normal days Of
peace than do the English importers Of
fruit. according TO J. Oliver, Of Lon
don, representative If Dan Wullle &
Co. importers Of boxed apples, who
left last week after a visit with the
concerns local branch. in charge Of A.
E. WoOlpert.
"No one can possibly realize the
conditions the exporters worked under
the past year unless he has been
through 1t. said Mr.. Oliver. All
contracts for space with the shipping
companies were merely tentative. de
pendent upon the wishes OF the British
government. The larger ships that
usually carried the bulk Of the freight
would come into American ports and
turn right around and go back for an
other load rather than wait for freight.
The American government was paying
So per man for getting the soldiers
back nome and this business paid better
than waiting for freight Most Of the
boats, even when they did carry gen
eral freight. had less than 80 per cent
of their space allotted to private inter
ests. Times of departure and arrival
were so uncertain that ears Of apples
stood on tracks at docks for weeks
awaiting shipment. They arrived in
foreign ports in poor condition. Dan
Wuille & Co. the largest importers Of
apples in the world, got their share of
space.
1--WE averaged a little over $3.50 per
box for all fruit exported last year,
and we expect as good net returns to
growers this season. There is no con-
troll on pears, and our company made
from nine to Sll per box for d Anjous
sent across last year.
Mr.. Oliver says that lines Of buyers
strung out in front of their offices last
year like those in front of a theatre in
this country when a good play is ex-
pected

METHOD IN THEIR MOVEMENT
Veteran of the Plains Explained Why
Ruffaioes Invariably Travelled on
Ziazag Course.

No person ever saw herd of buff
falo move in a straight line. They al
ways took a Zigzag course: The late
Buffalo" Jones explained this as fol-
lows: "A buffalo Is Il very cautious
-sniiaal.His shaggy forehead prevents
him seeing objects on either side. To
prevent surprise from an enemy he
walks obliquely to the right and then
10 the left, and thus gets an unob-
Structed view of the surrounding coun-
try"
The buffalo had many small traits
that are lacking in cattle. The buffalo
never mired in swamps or pools as
cattle do. When they found they were
becoming stuck they threw themselves
on their sides and swan or padded
through the mud as hog does. They
always had guards out day and night,
10 warn the herd of approaching dan
ger. They always faced a storm and
never "drifted" as do cattle. They
lay down with their heads TO the
lerceSt storms, tossing their heads
around on their sides and sleeping
contentedly, while the great mass of
fur or their humps protected them
from the winds.

they were walking by the church one
afternoon, and thought that it was my
organist practicing. They found,
however, that the church was locked

"The first time heard the ghostly
playing was while 1 was gardening.
l believed that the woman who clean

child to use the organ, and went to

COMMUNITY HALL,
TO OPEN MONDAY
Indoor Playground Provided for
Juveniles to Keep Them
4 Safe From Harm

The first community hall in this city
will be officially opened next Monday
evening by President Judge Charles L..
Brown. of the Municipal Court, in the
Haddington Free Library, Sixty fifth
street and Girard avenue.
The idea of community hall has
been fostered for long time by those
interested in the development Of juve-
niles and also of community ccnters.
Fairgrounds were provided also for
open air demonstrations but up until
this time there was no hall supported
by the city where children could play
indoors. The hall to be dedicated Mon
day evening is the result of demand
for n place where children, and grown
ups, too. could gather in the evening
for social enjoyment. The seating ca
pacity is 800. A spacious stage with
sufficient scenery for the production of
amateur plays is also provided.
Judge Brown will be the principal
speaker on the opening night. He will
be followed by Judges Utley Il. Crane
and Raymond MacNeille. also of the
Municipal Court, and Ellwood j. Rotan.
Judge Brown has been particularly in
terested in the development of such cen
ters. as, in his opinion, it provides an
excellent means for the keeping of mis-
chievous youths off the streets at night.
