Got Too Much.
snecIal TO The Times.


MARION, Ind. Aug 23.-Verling W.
Davis, republican, who served as city at
torney of Marion from Jan. 5, 1914, IN
til Jan. Z, 1918, under the admtnistra-

NEW CURB MART
GREAT SUCCESS
Despite Rains, Eight Farmers
Come First Day.

Reasons why the downtown city mar
ket has degenerated into a place where
agents of commission men and peddlers
congregate to the almost total exclusion
of the farmers and gardeners whom II
was originally designed to attract, are
being made plain by the energetic band
of south side women who have been
fighting for the establishment of curb
and vacant LOT markets in their neigh
horhoods.
Despite the heavy rains of Saturday,
the new curb market in Fountain square
was opened with great success, accord
ing to Mrs. NJ. L. Reiffel, 1919 Dawson
street, president of the South Side
Women's club, which Organization kept
after the city council until 1t was prom
ised 1t would not be molested by city
authorities If 1t induced farmers and
gardeners to come in and sell.
Eight farmers brought their produce
to the new curb market, sfrs. Reiffel re-
ported.
1--WE woud have had at least twenty
had 1t not rained," she said.
This number have promised us that
they viii bring produce to the Fountain
square market each Tuesday morning
and all day Saturday and to the Arizona
street vacant lot market on Wednesday
and Saturday mornings hereafter
81 think we have demonstrated that the
farmers, contrary to the statement of
city authorities in charge of he down
town market, are not only willing, but
eager to bring their produce into sell
directly to the housewives.
COULDN'T GET IN
DOWNTOWN MARKET.
why one farmer came clear from
Morgantown, which is twenty miles
south of the city, with a forty-bushei
load of peaches.
Another farmer, congratulating us
on the establishment Of the new mar
ket, told me how he was treated when
he tried TO get a stand on the down
town curb market.
He said he went to the market house,
asked for the market master and was
told he was not In.
After waiting for an hour and a half
without results the farmer said he asked
one Of the market masters assistants il
he could get on the market that day
only 10 be told that all of the stands
were leased but that he could wait
around until 10 o'clock and see II any
body sold out, in which case he might
get in.
"Of course he could not take this risk
with his perishable products so he came
out to our market nd we got the benefit
OF his lower prices"
Farmers at the new market Saturday
sold tomatoes at 81 per bushel and
agreed to deliver them wherever ordered.
Other prices were correspondingly
LOW.
Councilman Jacob p Brown, who was
chairman OF special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the demands OF
the women for the new market, visited
the market Saturday evening.
Mrs. ReIrfel said the members OF the
South Side Women's club are grateful TO
the council since 1t was the only body
OF city officials who helped them in any
way.

HOROSCOPE
''The stars incline, but do not compel"
TUEsDAY. Aug. "a. 1925.

Astrologers read this as an unimpor-
tant day in the government Of the stars.
This should be a fairly favorable rule
under which to look for new openings in
business.
They who seek employment may be
lucky If they push their interests while
this confguration prevails.
To sensitive mortals the contrary in
huences of the stars may be subtry felt
in an unusual sensitiveness to criticism
or sudden depression of spirits.
While 1t may be reasonably lucky for
all who go in quest of positions they
who invest money will do well to delay
initiative until a more promising sway
Of the stars.
There is a sign that seems to indicate
that evil stars incline men and women
too toward exaggeration and misrepre-
sentation. He who is exact in his state
ments will benefit.
Persons whose birthdate 1t IS will
prosper during the year II they do not
speculate.
Children born on this day may be
highly organized and sensitive. They
should be carefully managed, for they
are likely TO be exceedingly talented
