Playing of Continental Nj

Inc bOard or Directors OF the
Y. M. c. A. and all "Y" boosters
have every reason to feel graft
fled at the impetus given to the
Carnival by the enthusiastic sup
port evident at the opening last
night. The financial returns were
likewise gratifying and far in ex-
cess of expectations.
Even before the formal opening
announced for 7:30 considerable
number of young people had as
sembled and servral sharp blasts
of Secretary Bebout's whistle were
necessary to produce order suffi-
cient for George Carter, who Off
ciated for Mayor Frazer. to make
himself heard.
The Mayor was unable on ac-
count of an important engage
ment to open the carnival. Mr..
Carter in his usual felicitons
manner opened the affair formally
paying eloquent tribute to Chair
man A. G. Wilkinson and his aides
by whom the Carnival was plann-
ed and the work consummated.
The musical program for the
evening was furnished by the Con-
tinental Mandolin Club and the
y. W. c. A. club of Wilmington,
under the leadership of Prof. C.
B. Edwards. Their rendition of
popular and classical selections
ELECTED enthusiastic applause and
repeated encores.
The booths erected under the
supervision of D. Lee Rose, E. c..
Wilson and other experienced
Carnival workers, display much
originality on the part of the COM
mittee workers who produced
beautiful effects in decoration.
The candy booth carries out the
6t. Valentine idea: the front of
he booth is arranged with heart
shaped opening, and hearts pre-
dominate in the other decorations.
The young ladies wear heart
crowns.
The fancy work booth features
he poinsetta in it's decorations
Rnd has produced beautiful
effect. The Y. w. G. A. booth has
avender as the predominating
Folor and the attendants are dress
Rd in Japanese costumes.
The restaurant in the gallery
With w. D. Dean and Daniel
thompson in charge proved popu-
ar, as did the shot dog" booth on
he main floor.
D. Lee Rose made an excellent
barker" for the ten-pin game.

The United States bureau of mar kets concluded its business in Phoenix yesterday with the issuance of canta- loupe bulletin for July 20. o. D. Miller who has been in charge of the Phoenix office in the chamber of commerce since the opening of the cantaloupe season, July 1, leaves today for Los Angeles. He said light shipments will continue from the Salt River valley for probably a week and will amount to approximately 100 cars. This would make commercial total of approxi- mately 1044 carloads for the season Following the light rain a week ago the aphis destroyed 70 carloads. The aphis developed in the Glendale dis trict and was confined to 800 acres. The acre yield, after being cut down by the aphis. was 150 standard crates, as against 40 standard crates acre yield in the Imperial valley, also visited by the aphis.
 The distributors opened the season on 2300 acres of cantaloupes. At the peak of the season, just prior to the

PRODUCERS OF GRADE

Grade milk producers will meet at 425 South Central avenue at II o'clock Saturday morning, according to cards sent yesterday to the 45 known grade B milk producers in the valley. Twenty grade B milk produc- CTS met last Saturday and formed tenn porariIy with J. F.. Westberg as chair man.

THEY CANNOT CHANCE. ARMY CONVOY ROUTE SAYS FLORENCE MAYOR

Visitors in the city yesterday were Mayor J. G. Heating of Florence and F.. H. Doty, sales manager of the Surety Abstract and Realty company of Florence. MT. Doty is vastly inter- ested in the growth of Florence which he says is entirely satisfactory as shown by the number of new buildings and improvements that have been made there. and he is especially inter ested in the development of Florence Heights, an addition to the city recent ly opened on the south. It was a very gratifying beginning that on the open ing day 70 lots in that addition were purchased, the prices ranging from $250 to $350.
 Mayor Heating also talked Florence, but another subject with him is good roads in general and the Bankhead highway in particular. For some years he has taken a deep interest in that highway and was influential at Birmingham, Ala, in securing the To- cation of it through Florence.
 Mayor Heating, who was recently elected president of the Pacific division of the Bankhead highway, embracing the states of Arizona and New Mex ico. the western part of Texas and southern California, learned with sur prise yesterday morning of the at tempt being made at Tucson to secure the diversion of the coming army mo- tor convoy from the highway at Tucson, through Ajo to Yuma. MT. Heating felt sure that it would be inn asmuch as the convoy is moving under army orders along a prescribed route which was fixed after spirited con- test

rain, the acre yield was more than 200 crates, some Japanese reporting they were getting as high as 250 crates, and one reporting his yield at 300 crates to the acre, or 50 crates less than the capacity of 0 car.
 Season Successful
 MT. Miller says that this was a sue cessful season for cantaloupes in the Salt River valley. Both prices and the fruit were good. The loss through the aphis, while not usual, always is an ticipated.
 Total shipments to date of the last report, July 20, were 944 carloads. Commercial shipments yet to come and local consumption and private ship ments to nearby points will make the total harvest a little less than HOO carloads, or 2S5,0 GOO standard crates, or 3.445,000 cantaloupes.
 Six carloads of watermelons were shipped to local Arizona points by John F. Barker and the Phoenix Produce company. No watermelons were shipped east. The crop was short and brought unusual prices in the mining camps and other nearby points. Both cantaloupes and watermeIons were of fine flavor and quality this year. While the end commercially is in sight, mel through the summer. The large mel ons of the musk variety are yet to come and afterward the pineapple winter and other cassaba melons.
 The bureau of markets report for July 20 says: Quality and condition generally good, mostly Honeydews. Approximately 100 cars yet to move, mostly Honeydews. Third set on con- siderable acreage of cantaloupes aban- doned on account of aphis damage. Carload shipments and destinations July 20 were: Baltimore 1, Buffalo ?, Chicago ', Cleveland 2, Detroit l Douglas 1, Fl Paso ?, New York 4, Philadelphia l, Pittsburg 2, Utica 1; total A carloads.

Strike Leader Is First Witness For
 Labor Communists
[Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

CHICAGO, July 21.-The defense in the trial of William Bross Lloyd and 19 other alleged communist laborites today called as its first witness James A. Duncan, a Seattle machinist. Dun can testified concerning the general strike at Seattle in January, 1919, of which Ole Hanson, former mayor of that city, told yesterday in his testi- mony for the state.
 Duncan explained how the strike started among the shipyard employees. He also told of the relief depots estab- lished to furnish the strikers and citi- zens of Seattle with food and other supplies.
 Cross examination of Duncan prob ably will be taken up tomorrow. The strike Duncan testified, was the result of the refusal to grant the shipyard workers a 10 per cent wage increase. He said the strike was carried by an overwhelming majority on a referen- dunn vote of all the unions.

Proper Dancing
OK. II, Colleges
Says DR.. SheLdo,

ct have nothing against dancing in
the proper way" the Rev. Charles M.
Sheldon noted author and minister,
said when speaking from the pulpit of
the First Presbyterian church Sunday
morning. II do not want the legis-
lature to pass a law abolishing dane
ing from our educational institutions.
I do think, however, that If our young
people would be Independent and
original enough to take the initiative
themselves, they would benefit by the
step"
Doctor Sheldon included the refer
ence to dancing in the sermon he gave
as all observance of the tercentenary
of the landing of the Pilgrim fathers.
His opinion is of special interest in
the light of recent discussions by
school authorities, the Ministerial al
lance and other organizations on the
advisa bility of dancing at school func-
tions in public schools.
Four traits of character the Pill
grims possessed that are more or less
absent from Americans of the present
day according to Doctor Sheldon,
were self-sacrifice, independence, God
fearing and enthusiasm.
How many Americans would sacri-
flee their earning power, their homes
and friends for a cause dear to them.
and go perhaps to New Zealand or
Africa or other strange lands?' Doc
tor Sheldon asked.
while there is suffering in Europe
now so great that the world doesn
realize it, we are spending our money
here in America for hotel rooms for
night at one dollar an hour-yes, I've
paird eight dollars a night for room
and then can't sleep over the extrava-
gance of it-and we are building huge
buildings in New York City labeled:
To be used exclusively for the sale of
silk and we are seeing apartments
rented in New York months ahead OF
their construction for $4,000 a year,
How much of the Pilgrim spirit is
that?
"If we don't put some kind OF re-
ligion into our educational system we
are going to go on breeding the finer
kind of bad man, Doctor Sheldon
declared. It's the wrong kind of edu-
cation when the teaching of conduct
and the Bible is overlooked

Greek PIebiscite on Constan-
tines Return December 5.
Objections Made to Submitting
Question to People.

Athens, Nov. 22.-The plebiscite of
the Greek people which is to deter
mine whether King Constantine will
return to Athens was delayed to De-
cember 5, according to a statement
made today by NJ. Gounaris, minister
of finance.
The Patris protests against a plebis
cite declaring that DEGREES now issued
name Constantine de facto king and
for this reason the Venizelists would
be afraid to vote against him and
probably abstain from voting.
. RoyaIist Officials Reinstated.
Members of the new Greek cabinet
are working overtime to esta bHsh the
new regime and to reinstate thousands
of functionaries and military officers
removed by former Premier Venizelos.
Apparently the new ministry is at
tempting to pursue policy of moder-
alton toward followers of the former
premier.
please call the attention of Ameri-
cans to the fact that the nation is now
united" said D. Gounaris, minister of
war, today.
French Are Quiescent.
Paris Nov. 22-The French gov
ernment will not oppose by physical
force the return of former King Con-
stantine to the Greek throne. which
the foreign office now regards newt
able, the Associated Press was in
formed today
1t was stated that Premier Leygues
will advocate at his meeting with
Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain
that a joint note be sent to the Greek
people pointing out to them very
strongly the consequences of Constan-
tines restoration, prominent among
which would be the withdrawal of all
financial and economic support of
Greece.
The foreign office is convinced that
the pIebiscite to be held on the ques-
ton of Constantine'S return will over
whelmingly favor the proposition, and
this has caused change in the French
attitude Incidentally, it was said the
foreign office had no information of
any postponement of the plebiscite set
for next Sunday. The meeting be-
tween Premiers Leygues and Lloyd

bly, will be held Thursday or Friday.
