was the rector and during his in
cumbency the school was founded
which was later to emerge into the
well-known Georgetown University
at Washington, d. C. There the two
renowned CAROLS were to receive
the elements of the education in the
things of the world and the spirit to
mould those characters that were of
such invaluable aid to Washington
and their country In those soul-try-
ing days of the American Revolu-
tion.
Among the best known Of the pas
tors of Bohemia was Father Villeger,
s. j., who was rector of st. Francis
Xavier's for twenty-five years, and
worked zealously for the material
and spiritual improvement for the
parish. He was greatly beloved by
not only his own congregation but
also by the non-Catholics of the
county who speak of him to this day
with words Of reverence and love.
The ancient chapel which is still
well preserved stands upon a slop-
ing piece of ground and is ap-
preached by a wide walk edged with
boxwood. On the right is the grave
yard where lies the remains of those
who generations ago. sat within the
walls of the church and heard the
perennial words of the Holy Mass
as they came from the lips of some
holy father. On the edge of the little
cemetery, two bushes OF boxwood,
grown to the height of five or six
feet and surrounded by an iron rail.

early fathers, who died amongst the

foundation by a field mass at IL a.

Tall Cedars To Close
Season On Wednesday|

for its success
A bigger and better Evergreen
Forest was planned for the next fall
and winter season by the officers of
the Forest at an executive meeting
held in Georgetown last month. Al
though nothing that transpired at
this meeting has been given out for
publication, 1t is predicted that sew
eral changes will be made in the
personnel.
There is not a Forest anywhere in
the east that can boast of a more
pleasant and enjoyable manner of
serving refreshments than has been
arranged the past year by Fred Null
holland, steward. His motto has
been. Here 1t is boys, help your
SELF" Many times this party has
lasted until the small hours of the
morning. Wednesdays refreshments
will be taken care of in the same
manner.
At the Supreme Forest Convention
last month, Grand Tall Cedar George
s. Grier extended invitations to
many prominent Cedars to attend
this ceremonial.

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

I ern Texas have become light and the
crop from northern Texas is JUS
getting under way. Many northern
markets had liberal supplies or
hand. Prices were declining tc
slightly lower levels in late May and
early June while receivers were
trying to reduce local holdings.
Texas yellow stock bring $1.10 to
s1.30 per SO pounds, and sales al
northern Texas shipping points
range 55c to zoe. A few old-crop on
ions were selling near the price OF
the new crop. White onions have
been bringing much more than yell
low varieties but proportion of white
stock is larger in the coming crops
and the market is unsettled. Trade
reports indicate 1900 to 100 cars
available from the north Texas on
ion crop.
Western carrots have been in
lighter supply and selling rather
high at SIS to s5.75 per crate in many
eastern markets. Celery has been
advancing while other. vegetables
were declining and jobbing sales
ranged SO to 81 per crate. Western
lettuce also sells at 80 to 81, but is
meeting severe competition from
abundant local supplies.
Cabbage prices reached low levels
and receipts from North Carolina
and Virginia have been selling at
SOC to 75c per hamper. Peas, from
North and South Carolina are fairly
steady at mostly 81 to s1.25 per
bushel. California peas bring $3.50
to So. Tomatoes are Csc lower than
in late May in Mississippi and Texas,
selling from SLIPS to $3.50 per box at
country shipping points and $1.50 to
$2.25 In northern markets.
Apple Trade Slow
Demand for apples is slow and
supplies light. Prices are generally
steady but few cities report small
declines. Most standard varieties of
good grade bring from 50 to $3.50
per bushel, although some varieties
sell as low as s1.50. Western boxed
apples sell only little higher than
eastern fruit of similar grade.
Watermelons have been in light
supply, owing to poor crop in
southern Florida. Average yield of
not more than so per cent was re-
ported in the Leesburg section. Quail
Ity is now fairly good. South Geor- |
gia melons are about week later |
than last season and not expected to
be loaded heavily until the last week
Of June. Carloads sell at $3.50 to
1850 in northern markets and unit
sales range SOC to 85c for medium to
arge sizes. These prices are about
lalf those prevailing a year ago.
florida shipping points quote $500
o $40O per carload
Cantaloupe supplies also are ra-
her light because of delays in the
California season. Prices have de-
lined sharply from the opening
ange to level of s475 to s5.75 per
rate near the beginning of the
month.
Strawberry supplies are generally
Moderate but prices reached slightly
ower levels near the beginning Of
une. Receipts from Maryland and
delaware including some soft, rain
amaged fruit sell at sc to 12c. quart
asis, and good stock brings SO to

Bird COngratulates Bacon
Conceding victory about 10 .. m,
last Saturday, Mr.. Bird extended his
congratulations in a telegram to
Mayor Bacon, wishing that his next
term as chief magistrate of the city
will be even more successful in ac-
complishment than your commend
able record during the past two
years"
Mr.. Morford said the victory 'is
triumph for organization and har-
mony" and said every Republican
committeeman and woman "is en-
titled to the greatest credit for keep
! ing Wilmington in the Republican
column" He said credit was also
due the Republican lawyers advis-
: ory committee.
THE people of Wilmington have
spoken in no uncertain terms that
they want an administration of eco
nomy and efficiency by a full-time
mayor, Walter W. Bacon he added.
Chandler Issues Statement
State Senator Ebe Fl. Chandler,
chairman of the Republican State
! Committee, in commenting on the
/ results of the election said:
, THE stress that the Democrats
! have made on the New Deal during
the municipal campaign in Whining
ton indicates that the Republican
! victory last Saturday was clear re-
pudiation of the New Deal in VIII
mington. / am certain the same
trend exists throughout the State.
ut certainly proved that the Re-
publican party is still very much
alive in Delaware, despite the eff
forts of our opponents to hold
post mortem over it after the No

ginning. We are on our way to vic
tory in 1888 in Delaware"

Demand was fairly good In thu
large market centers, but most o.
the cities report weak conditions be-
cause of the large supplies. Receipts
of homegrown produce are increas'
ing fast in quantity and variety, re-
ducing the demand for carlot pro
duce. The season is still rather late
in the East In States north OF Flor
ida and on the Pacific Coast, but
truck crops and fruits were doing
we'll in early June, reports the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics
Weather conditions we're generally
favorable with rains and warm wea-
ther, but some sections in the
Southwest and West needed mois-
tufe. Northern markets are receiv-
ing blackberries from Texas, blue
berries from Alabama, Tennessee,
and virginia, early peaches from
Georgia, and Mississippi, and quite
a variety of summer fruits from Cal
ifornia.
CARROT shipments decreased about
8 per cent the last week of May as
compared with the week before out
showed an increase OF about the
same percentage compared with. a
year ago. Shipment decreases com
pared with the week before were
mostly in western lettuce, carrots,
calllifiower, and celery, and In
southern grapefruit, tomatoes, and
onions, but cantaloupes Increased
sharply, also cherries. Carlot output
of peaches, plums and apricots
started. The most striking difference
as compared with year ago Is the
much larger movement of new pota-
toes. These were moving at the rate
of more than 1000 cars day In
early June.
Prices of most lines have been de-
clining rather steadily for several
weeks. watermelons. celery, and
carrots being in moderate supply
have held prices better than most OF
the others. Prices are mostly lower
than those of year ago, but onions,
celery, carrots, corn, and tomatoes
are higher than in the first week OF
June last year,
Liberal Potato Supplies
Potatoes have been In good de-
mand but the heavy receipts have
kept the markets weak on the new
crop. The small remaining supplies
of old potatoes show better market
action, and stock from Idaho and
Maine has been selling higher than
new potatoes.
Maine Green Mountains bring 81
tc $3.50 per 100 pounds In northern |
and s1.80 in northern Maine
producing sections. New stock from
Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina
and Georgia finds weak market at
mostly s1.25 to s175. California
Long Whites bring 81 to s250. Prices
If new potatoes are about half those
II a year ago In city markets and
rom one-third to one-half In south
'rn and southwestern producing sec
ions. Prices at shipping points
ange s1.10 to s1.35 In the South.
Combined potato shipments the
asst week of May were nearly $500
ars, small increase over the week
efore and about 1000 more than for
he same week last year. Price de-
lines of the past month have been
evere hut rather gradual,
