A BIG BUSINESS
On Last Thursday Over Two Hundred
Dollars Worth of Butter And
Eggs Were Sold.

The Greenwood Curb Market sold
over two hundred dollars worth of
eggs and butter last week at the

ing. The sales at this market have
been increasing rapidly for the last

Germ.
The market is handling country but
ter and Brookhaven butter, which was
sold last week for seventy cents per
pound The eggs are purchased from
the hills and are guaranteed to be
fresh. The eggs were sold for so
cents per dozen last week at the curb

for the Woman's Club and is making
an effort to get the farmers through
out this section to bring their produce
to the curb market, where she stated

the fearful condition of the roads,
Mrs. Weller said, "the farmers in this
section have been unable to bring
their produce to this city. However
the weather is getting better now and
we hope to increase the business at
the curb market within the near flu
ture."
The market will now dispose of the
canned fruits and vegetables which
were prepared by the various Canning
Clubs throughout the county ano
which were put up under the direc-
ton of the Home Economics Agent.

TO BE USED AS
ASCHO0L FOR
The Astor Library, One OF The Show
Places OF New York City
Quarter Century Ago.

NEW YORK, March 9-The Astor
library on Lafayette street, one Of the
show places of the city a quarter of a
century ago, is to be converted into a
school for immigrants The Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrants Aid Soc
iety recently purchased the property
for 1926, 1000 and is to spend another
100000 in alterations. The building
recently has been used as a storehouse
for the disposal Of surplus army foods.
Plans for establishing thorough
system of education for immigrants
and for rendering aid to them immed-
lately upon their arrival are now be-
ing made by the society. The upper
temporarily housing incoming immi-
grants and the lower floors for class
rooms. The plans, which meet with
the approval of the immigration auth
critics at Ellis Island, contemplate a
school for citizenship, where immi-
grafton authorities at Ellis Island
contemplate a school for citizenship
where immigrants may be taught the
fundamentals of American history and
receive information as to how and
where they can apply for citizenship
"There is pleasing sentiment
about making an immigrant school OF
the Astor building" John L. Bern
stein, president of the society, declar
ed today. "Jonn Jacob Astor, the
founder of the library, was himself
an immigrant and in his gift OF the
library to the public he stated thai
he particularly wanted it to perpetu
ate his gratitude for what his adopt
ed country had done for him. He ex
pressed the hope that the Astor lib
rary would render aid to all newcom
ers to the country. It seems like
prophecy that his building should nov
become a school exclusively for imml
grants"

DOES THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD
RUN SLOW?

The friends of Mr.. Frank Dunsmith
of the Los Angeles National Auto
Sales Co., who has been residing in
Greenwood for some time, are telling
a joke at his expense. 1t is alleged
that he boarded the Southern noon
train yesterday for Greenville. AS
the train crept slowly along he fell
asleep. He was rudely awakened when
the train made a stop. Thinking he
had been asleep a long while, he
grabbed his suit cases and without
making inquiry left the train.
Walking briskly up the street, he
inquired for we'll known automobile
concern. His informer told him that
the firm he was looking for was locat-
ed in Greenville. Il know that per
fectly WE'LL" said Dunsmith, ''but

Until Murray Crane and Penrose
arrive the crowds will buzz with
speculation as to the direction in
which their great strength will be

by John T. King, former Wood
worker. Even then 1t was hard to
figure the significance of the fact
for whatever Mr.. King may have
been in the past. he is clearly not
for Wood now, but today IL appears
that he never had the Penrose proxy,
which was filled at the Coliseum
this morning by A. K. Cassell, OF
PHILADELPHIA, said to be an eminent
business man, but Of whose political
affiliations nothing is known. The
Crane proxy is held by James B.

very fact that Penrose has defied

sufficient of his purpose to domi-

friends have long said that he has
been sustained in his illness by an
indomitable purpose to be sponsor
of the next President. He never
entered a convention in which con-
ditions were more favorable to ms

Coblenz, May 81. The American
section of the Rhineland High Com
mission, with Pierpont B. Noyes as
chief, is packing its baggage for
return to America under instruc-
tions from the State Department.
The decision has caused surprise
and some CONSERVATION among the
allies. particularly the British. For
them it foreshadows the return of
all the American forces on the
Rhine.
1T is true I am going home and
shall probably be gone within a

ponds on how long it takes to wind
up the affairs of the American de-
partment of the Rhineland High
Commission. There will be no one
behind to take my place. l prefer
to give no further statement until
Gen. Allen returns to Coblenz. for it
will be up to him to establish such
relations with the high commission
as are necessary in the interests of

The sudden orders to close the
commission came as a great sur
prise. Apparently no real reason
was given.
