MODEL MARKET PLANNED IN FRISCO

GIGANTIC TRADING PLACE TO FURNISH PRODUCE AT LOW PRICES. TO OE KEPT MOST' SANITARY Hundreds of Stalls Be Constructed of White Tile—Everything to be Kept Under Glass. San Francisco. —Plans have been completed for the building in San Francisco of one of the largest and most sanitary retail produce markets in the world. The market will be located at Eighth and Market streets, in the heart of the business district, on a $1,750,000 tract of land. Hundreds of stalls will be built in white tile. They will be rented to farmers and butchers' and orchardists and growers, at a price probably of S3O a month. It costs the average grocer $250 a month to bring his goods to the people. The difference will come in the price of the goods to the people. The plan, as outlined by one of the members of the syndicate, is to build a structure 100 feet wide and 550 feet deep, the full depth of the property. The place will be called Central Park market, and will form one of the features of the civic center district. Seattle, Baltimore, Boston ahd New Orleans have similar markets, which are a feature of eity life. In Seattle, where produce is said to be from 25 to 50 per cent cheaper than in this city, stall renters live as far away as 400 miles, shipping fresh stuff every day to the member of the family that sells at retail. Eggs may come up from the peninsula district every morning and find their way fresh to the housewife. Vegetables may come in from the ocean shore district. The river boats may unload in the channel back of the market, where the hauling price will be considerably lessened. Meat, instead of being piled up In bales for fingers and flies to get at, will be wrapped in oil paper, with the weight stamped on the outside. Vegetables will be sprayed with ice water. Everything will be kept trader glass, or in packages, where dirt and dust cannot get in. Back of all this vision of a great cheap market lies the will of Andrew McCreery, who decreed that the property could not be sold in parcels by his heirs. In his lifetime he had many offers to sell parts of the land. But he held on and paid the taxes and waited for the time to come when it could be used as a whole. Since his death several offers have been made to the heirs, but they involved a ninety-nine year lease, and the McCreery brothers did not want to lose control of the property. They shared the ideas of their father about It. Under this arrangement they retain control of the property and at the same time derive an income from it in the rental of stalls and stores.

EXCITE BOYS TO DO BAD ACTB. So Bays Judge In Sentencing Two Youthful Offenders. Stroudsburg, PH. —Judge C.*B. Staple has sentenced William Devore, aged 15, and Frank- Tales, aged 12, who attempted to wreck a Pennsylvania train near here a couple of weeks ago. The former to the Huntington ref the latter to Glenn Mills reform school. Before passing sentence the court censured certain moving picture concerns, and instructed the district attorney to act as censor of the name. Widow Burns Her Money. Washington.—Again and again it has been established that “the First National Bank"—the old stocking, the teapot, the chimney recess and other secret depositories for cash—is no more surely safe than established financial institutions. Now the family kitchen range is discovered to be deficient in security and the confidence of the hoarder of money Is shaken in Its last resource. "Account of my mother’s habit, hiding her money in the oven at night for safety, she has burnt eight dollars Sunday morning," Writes a New Jersey correspondent to the secretary of the treasury, under a seal that also Inclosed blackened ashes of burned paper. “I am sending you the ashes to Bee if you could help us, as mother is a widow and needs the money badly. It was one five and single bills.” The expert examiner of mutilated and burned money has a lens on the remains. It is probable that the denomination of the bills will be determined positively —as has been done before under seemingly impossible circumstances —and the amount restored to the poor widow. For there is the case of the widow’s pig, which chewed up her money after finding its hiding place in the kitchen. And when the pig was cut open the digested money was forwarded to the United States treasury and the denomination determined without much trouble. So nothing is impossible to this export.
