HOURS AND SMALLER LOTSFOR
 NEW CITY MARKET
Farmers and Housekeepers Meet With Civic Association and Decide on Thorough
 Cooperation

Staying after 8 o'clock in the morning, and selling in less than basket lots, was favorably decided upon at a meeting of a committee of the farmers using the new city market, who met with the Civic Association city market committee yesterday in the rooms of the Civic Associa- ton.
 A spirit of cooperation between the fo the housewives, the Civic Association and the farmers was developed at the meeting.
 A frank discussion Of the housewives needs and the farmers problems resulted in efforts to bring about satisfactory settlement of the minor complaints about the market.
 AFTER s O'CLOCK
 The truckers agreed to remain at the market longer than o'clock. so as to give the purchaser who was unable to get to the market before breakfast chance to secure fresh produce. It was found to be the experience of the far mers that if they remained later, they were able to sell out at better prices.
 They also decided to sell in lots smaller than market baskets as not only can better price be obtained. but increased sales made On learning of complaints about the noise. a promise was made to curtail all unnecessary elamor.
 In regard to the complaint of City Com missioner J Ellis Brown that the market in some measure encroached upon Capi- tol Park, the truckers decided to urge upon Mir Brown to weigh the tremend- ous advantage of the present market which lNs been declared entirely satis~ factory to housewives and farmers. with the slight damage to grass and trees on the edge of the park. If this should have no effect, the plan was suggested that wagons park only on the east side of East Twentieth street instead of on both sides.
 BETTER PARKING
 It was further decided to have all wagons park on East Twentieth street and the surplus extend on Eighth ave- nue back of the park rather than on Park avenue, in front of the park.
 Much enthusiasm was displayed by the farmers who stated that the market was customers and the volume of produce brought. Tuesdays market was the rec ord since the establishment on the new location. There were 15S vehicles loaded with produce present.

LIVE UP TO" THE CHILDREN

OF Repression and Stern Punish.

we gave them credit always for the high
and right motive, and suspended 1udg-
ment till they had told their side. But
II they were wrong they were not pun

below what had been expected of them
was punishment enough. A certain
standard Of conduct was thus estab-
i1shed that they longed always to real
1ze. They were able, even then, to see
the beauty of certain qualities and the
ugi1ness OF others. 1t was lovely to
see them trying to conform TO the hab-

strength-only for compliance. That,
1t seems to me, Is the great mistake
some parents make. They exact obedi-

Pile. Inspire! That is the better word.
Then the child will have an inner
light to guide him, compass to steer
him to certain goal.
When the guiding hand is lifted, so
many are left with no deep convic-
tions-principles to shape their des-
tiny-but impulses. They may be good,
they may be bad, as life plays upon ,
their emotions and desires. To trust
to them for guidance is like going out
upon stormy sea in a tiny craft at

Money.

After having studied the careers of
many Of our richest men, and after
having obtained from many of them
an outpouring Of their inmost
thoughts, my conclusion. about money
Is this, says q writer in Forbes Maya
zine:
money is very desirable thing,
even a lot of 1t. It's possession en-
ables one to do a great many things
which are impossible If one lacks it.
There Is no such potent material in
strument for enabling one to do wor-
thy deeds in large numbers and on a
large scale. Money, indeed, is so de-
sirable, so useful, so rich in possibili-
ties for worthy accomplishment, that
one should exercise every honorable
effort to acquire every dollar Of It that
one can earn, bat there is not enough
money In the world to compensate one
for turning even one sharp corner, tor
never have known an instance Of ILL
gotten money to have yielded true hap
piness to possessor and his Offspring"

Meaning Of "caTf," a Market Term,

A call, in market parlance is 4 con
tract giving the purchaser the option
to buy commodity or security at a
fixed price, within fixed time. 1t is
used IN speculation in grain, cotton
stocks and foreign exchange. When
German marks, for example. are sell
ing for 1.6 cents, a broker will sell for
$50 the privilege of buying $4,000
marks, within nine months at Sc
cents each. II the price within that
period goes above Sc cents. the holder
OF the call can purchase at that price
ana sell at the prevailing market
price and have the difference as a
profit If the price does not reach the
quotation named in the call" the
money spent for 1t Is lost.
