on the third year of a rather phenome

mental market sheds and has Jumped
rapidly, not only into permanency in
ateel umbrella sheds, but Into the cen
ter of the retail produce business of
the city.
Th second anniversary will not be
featured by anything other than the
usual dally rush of business. There
Was talk for a while of having some
sort of doings to celebrate the day, but
this was given up.
The market has been a financial suc
cess as far as the city is concerned,
according to figures compiled by Mar
ketmaster Eastman. In no one month
since its establishment have the re
ceipts been less than the cost of op
eration. Each month has shown a sur
plus, even the stormy months of the
W Inter. The total receipts up to May
1 were $9766.15. while the expenditures
were much less, leaving a balance of
nearly $4000 on the credit side of the
book. For the fiscal year ended No
vember 30, 1915, the market showed a
prorit to the city of $3373.45.
At . the outset the market occupied
only one block. It has spread until
It reaches on both sides of Yamhill
street from a point near Fifth street
to Third street and on the north side-
f Yamhill from Third to First street.
Additional construction on the south
side of Yamhill between First and Sec
ond is now contemplated.
Yamhill street formerly was .an un
important side street to the retail
business district. Rentals were low and
buildings were In bad condition and in
some cases stood vacant. When the
market was established rent went up.

Edith E. Lanyon Describes Visit to Home of Woman Who Is Proud That She Has Two Sons Who Are in Thick

BY EDITH E LANYON.
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, April
20. (Special.) A few days ago I
received a parcel of knitted socks
from Portland to send to my soldiers.
With the socks came money to buy
cigarettes. It has been a pleasant task
to send each pair away to France with
a packet of cigarettes tucked Inside. It
Was a welcome gift from over the seas.

mother of two of these soldiera She Is

they seem to regret in the way of food
la "bloaters." Mother had sent them
some and one of them replied effusive
ly: "Me and my mates didn't enjoy
those bloaters, not half." I am thinking
of interviewing Kitchener and suggest
ing to him that he add "bloaters for
tea" to the army ration.
Our men In hospital were always
very keen on bloaters, or kippers, too.
Money Returned In Luxuries.
The money allowance that these boys
make their mother is carefuly put by
and spent on parcels of luxuries to send
out to them.

a great fighting man and his tales of

He saved his bayonet all bloody to

It up with the red rust still on It, to
show to my cousin, but she refused to
look at it. He was disappointed, as he
evidently considered it would have been
a great treat for her.
Bloodthirstinesa Is Doubted.
I daresay he is not quite so blood
thirsty as he would have us believe.
Our housemaid Is a great authority on
the war and the army. She corresponds
regularly and adopts them all when
they are home on leave. I am convinced
that she knows many secrets which
would be of aid to the enemy. We shall
doabtl!is be sending her up to the War
Office to advise Kitchener before very
long.

Ths sister and the girls of her class
at school take care of a prisoner of
war in Grrmany. Poor fellows, they
need all the help and sympathy they
can get. There are 35 girls in the class
and they send him a parcel of food and
clothes, etcetera, weighing 11 pounds
once a week. She says they send him
everything from a Bible to a supply of
insect powder. Sometimes, I hear, she
spends her Saturday afternoon half
holiday baking bread for her prisoner
because she thinks It travels and
keeps better than bakers bread does.
Letters of Thaoki Written.
He writes letters of thanks to them
beginning "Dear Girls," I wonder If he
will take the whole 35 to a . picture

It seems shameful that our soldiers
who havo been taken prisoners have
to depend upon their friends at home
and in America for food and clothing to
keep them alive when the Germans we
take prisoners are supplied with plenty
of good, wholesome food and sufficient
clothing.

He Is beautifully reckless and glorious
