PAGE TEN FRUITAUCTION COMPANIES IN CHICAGO SCRAP 1 Wider Market Distribu- ] tion Expected From New Sales Methods I • CHICAGO. Dec 3—Two fruit 1 auction companies opened rival mar-; < kets in Chicago today for the eel!- < inn of fruit in less than carload lota 1 1 to dealers, each claiming that be- i tter market condittoen would re- i suit. No decided price slashes were reported but leaders tn the larger!l concern, the Chicago Fruit Auction;] company, a pool of several large i commission houses, predicted that < lower prices and a wider market dis- 1 tribution would result. i Tho Independent Fruit and Pro- ’ cluce Auction company formed by i about 100 small dealers including '1 many representatives of various na-' 1 tlonalltles who likened themselves to 1 1 n “League of Nations” declared the < other auction company had failed < In an attempt to squeeze them out. They reported they had placed on < sale sixty-one carloads of fruit and I produce. The Chicago Fruit Auction com pany reported sixty-seven carloads ' of fruit on sale. John Denney, a I leader of the larger group, said that 1 the auction company was formed at ’ the behest of the growers’ associa- 1 tions to sell the association’s pro- 1 ducts under one pool Instead of at private sale ns heretofore. This I auction company, he said, has under contract ninety per cent of the 1 available supply. 1 The big dealers, who have fncor- i norated as the Chicago Fruit Auc- 1 tion company, deny that they have < attempted to crowd out the smaller ' dealers. , • I NAVY FLIERS ARE KILLED SAN DIEGO, Calif..

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ORGANIZED SUNDAY Th® Congregationallsta of Casper had their Innings yesterday when after less than three months of quiet and deliberate effort they met In the I' America theater and organized the Firat Congregational church of Caa per. Within the past eight years or more, scores of Congregation a’lets I have come to this city and because ■there was no church of their own | they united elsewhere and contrib -1 uted liberally tn personal work and i in money to the support of the oth 'er churches. But they never Intend ' ul to surrender their lore of free dom. or convictions of democracy ‘ for any great length of time. Many | of them refuced to unite with other ' churches, but attended the services. ' participated in the religious work. ! and libetWly contributed to their I succesa. • When the Congregationslists fi nally decided to come tn there was J much rejoicing and the phenomenal success of the campaing is positive evidence. One hundred and eighteen peop'e united yesterday as charter membership of the new First church. This is not only the largest charter membership of any church in Cas i per, but according to the recently published history of Natrona county. 1 it is more than doub'e the largest' charter membership of the largest church in the city. It was unanimously voted at the evening meeting to ho’d the charter j list open until the close of the morn- { Ing service next Sunday, tui there i were still many mor® who have Indi-' cated their desire to Join but the' pastor was unable to call on them ( before last Sunday. Repreeenta-' tives of every walk of life are among its members. Young married peop'e, predominate. Whole families united. It certainly was a great sight to behold. Fifteen were baptised. ■ Nothing has been said yet as to a future home for the church, but, there is a strong tendency toward the notion that they should continue In the America theater. Its fin* equipment, its central location to all the city, its proximity to the hotels, and the type of its message and pro gram easily places It in a position of popularity and influence. And more than this Is its desire to prevent the loading of a great debt upon a willing group in the con struction of an adequate building. They believe that the greatest thing before them is to render a service of real worth to the city at this time, to build up a strong church around a great ideal and then In due time build after tho whole church has fully thought It through. There is therefor* no building plan now un der consideration and not likely to be for a few years. Dr. AlHngham believes that with-1 ■ In the next year or two the member ! ship will reach and go beyond 800. He Is heartily Ln favor of one (’on- ’ gregatlonal church with a member- : ‘ ship of 1.000 and with two paa » tors, one an outstanding preacher ■ and pastor and the other a young ' i man who would be an expert with : , young people. The day of the de- I . nomlnational instant incubator 1 ' i hatching out dally a scrawny, de j . creplt little church Just to swell the.; I denominational figures must give . way to the more dignified and chrts- < . tian program of intelligent and es- i fectlve service. I< Religion is more popular today) ■ than ever but it must be based upon ' - common sense. Piety based upon I t nonsense is outlawed. The church i has a great day ahead. She must < fight but fighting is fun when it is < done in the right spirit. ii ♦ '] NEW ELECTRIC COMPANY OPEN The Thomas Electric company opened its new’ shop at 159 South • Beech street this morning. The pro ’ jprietors were busy throughout tho 1 day receiving visitors who came in !to inspect the new and up-to-date establishment.
