MUNICIPAL TUBERS TAKE WN PRIGE Yill Now Be Sold at $1.66 and 8175 Per Bushel The Municipal Farm committee held another of its frequent meetings last evening in the mayor’s office, the subject, as usual, being potatoes. It was decided by the committee, in view of existing market conditions and the reflected opinion of the common coun- cil, tg lower the price of potatoes from $1.90 and $1.95 per bushel to $1.65 and $1.75 per bushel, the last named price to apply when the committee attends to the delivery. It was de- cided to sell 4,000 bushels at these prices and not more than 10 bushels at a time will be sold to any oné fam- ily. Orders, with cash, may be left with the War Bureau. There was some discussion ; con- cerning a possible rebate for those who have purchased potatoes at the higher prices and it was decided to have ‘the War Bureau clerk take the names of all the people who wish to apply for such a rebate. These names will be handed into the common coun- cil and the rebates will then be given as soon as authority to do so is grant- ed by the council. Regarding the delivery the committee thought it impractical to engage a man every day in the week as on some days there might not be sufficlent orders to keep him busy, so it was decided to have deliv- eries on only two days a week and an arrangement will be made with the park board for the use of its auto truck for delivery purposes. Super- intendent Ralph Wainwright will also assist and he will be aided by another park board employe who will prob- ably be engaged by the farm commit- tee to inspect the potatoes frequently. George M. Landers, who was present at last night’s meeting, suggested a different method of keeping the com- mittee's accounts and hereafter, in conformity with previously drafted rules, all receipts shall be deposited with the city treasurer daily. Today Auditor W. B. Rossberg and War Bureau Clerk Kisselbrack turned over a sizable sum to the city treasurer, the same being receipts from the sale of municipal products. potatoes, FOR RELIEF WORK.

Dear Foiks:— Well we have arrived somewhere at last. We are now in a little French village -about' or miles from the front. Monday, we left Eng- land and had a very rough trip across the channel, the boat was a 3 very narrow and heavily loaded. Sure thought it was going to turn over sev- eral; it was —— you can bet. Luck | was mine and I wasn't seasick, in fact stood guard for another fellow for four hours. We land in France eventually and marched about 4 miles in the pouring rain to a rest camp way up high above a little city. It was a good camp d we got one good night's sleep. 'uesday afternoon we marched again in the rain for about 4 mileg(to a station where we waited from 5 o’clock to 12:30 to get on our trai I bappened to get a second class apart. ment and so was in luck. We trav- eled through France untll morning making little speed and stopping all the time. r I like what I have seen.of France 5o far and the people too. They seem so glad to see us and it is lots of fun talking French to them. 1 guesy they are now having their rainy season and it’s not too pleasant. The sun comes out everyday for about ten minutes and decides it's to wet for it to do any good and goes back in again. However, it is warmer than it was in England. All the land seems to be under cultivation and war is the real business. Fiverywhere there are aeroplanes, balloons, guns and sol- diers. All our boys are well and feeling fine. Call up their folks and remem- ber me to all my friends. Love to all, GARDNER. November 14. Dear Folks:— Lots of doings since my last letter. We have moved from our old quar- ters to billets and are now in an old chateau. Gordon, “Dute”, Chandler, and I are in a little room together with a nice little stove. It's pretty crowded to sleep in but we will be fixed fine when the bunks are built. We are still sleeping on the floor at present. | The chateau probably was some placg in its day. There are all the in- dications from a stove set in about 110 jJears ago to the general place and layout of the grounds. It is set up on a hill '‘and seems quite dry in com- parison to our old place. We started in Monday to clean up the town and the improvement is cer- tainly well worth the work. We saw wood, dig dirt, build walks, barracks, clean up the streets, etc. Tt is going to be a regular spotless town before we get through. Believe me, one gets tired by night and the funny part of it is that almost everyone is in bed by or before eight o’'clock. Yeu see it gets dark about 4:30 or 5 and we eat at 4:30 and have 2 long evening. Last night we bought some kind of cocoa with sugar in it, a little butter end milk and made fudge. It sure ‘was great. i Lots of excitement today. Major Genéral Edwards made us a visit. He certainly is a strong The letters’| commanding | Linn, looking man with a regular bull dog | street. jaw.

It seems good to get the news although it is a bit late and we almost wear' the pa- per out reading it. We are all well. Lots of love, GARDNER. ,CROOKS! BEWARE OF DETECTIVE MALONE. Faithful Policeman ‘Dutles in Conncction With De- Assumes New partment With Fine Record. Detective Sergeant Anthony C. Ma- lone, heretofore known as Officer “Ted” Malone, has commenced the new duties entrusted to him by the board of police commissioners at a re- cent meeting, and with the new office go the wishes of his multitude of friends for success. From the time of his appointment as an otfice‘&‘ Detec- tive Malone has had the confidence of DETECTIVE SERGEANT MALONE. his superiors and the public at large. It was on May 23, 1905, that Detec- tive Malone became a member of the regular force, and in carrying out the | duties of the position, he won merited praise on all sides. On several oc- casions, he was called upon to show his grit, and he never wavered. A sample of this was shown about a year ago, when, after recovering from a severe illness, and assigned to desk duty, Sergeant Malone was sent to a Main street hotel to arrest a notorious couple. On forcing an entrance into the room occupied by the suspected pair, the woman membér of the duo placed a revolver against the officer’s heart and commanded him to leave. But he calmly outwitted the enraged woman and succeeded in landing the couple in the police station. In his new berth, Detective Ser- geant Malone will work with Detective | Sergeant Andrew J. Richardson, and between this pair, the city should prove unhealthy for breakers of the law. The new sergeant is married and resides on Glen street. He has a son, Harold J. Malone, with the American expeditionary force in France. REALTY BUSINESS | TAKES BIG JUMP | Twenty Picces of Property Change Hands During Past Week—Ninc Deaths, Nine Marriages.
