May Day Gloomed
By Demonstrations
LONDON, Eng., May 2.—May Day
appears to be losing its reputation
as disorderly demonstrations were giv
en by the working classes. This
festive holiday is a great character
in England and other European cap
itals.
United States Behaved.
With radical demonstration all day
yesterday in European cities, the de
partment of justice of the United
States stated that not even rumors
of disorders were received.
PAULS, May 2.—A communist plot
to capture Paris was uncovered by
the police of that city and foiled.
The police got possession of three
documents and plans, among the pa
pers was a plan for the mobolization
and occupation of the following
buildings: Telegraph, Telephone, the
Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of
War, Police headquarters and the
Military Barracks.
To guard against such outbreaks
as occured last week, street gath
erings, demonstrations and parades
were prohibited May Day. The city
was heavily guarded by police and
troops were held in readiness for any
outbreak that may have occurred.
LONDON, May. 2.—British author
ities maintained a close watch to
prevent communists outbreaks and
plans were set to meet any emer
gency that may arise. The usual
May Day parades were allowed.
Warm weather has put a stop to
skating in Fairbanks.
EYELESS FISH ARE
FOUND UNDER
SAN ANTONIO
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 1—The
theory that a lake exists under San
Antonio, far beneath the level of the
sea, is being investigated by scien
tists following the discovery of eye
less fish in water pumped from a
1,500 foot artesian well at a local
packing plant.
San Antonio is only 65(^feet above
the level of the sea and the subter
ranean lake is believed tt> be 650 feet
below the surface of the ocean. The
fish removed from the well are white
and resemble catfish. Their fins are
powerful and well developed. Small
bumps or pimples appear over the
spots where their eyes should be, in
dicating that the specimens found are
descended from normal fish—the eyes
disappearing because darkness in the
underground lake made sight useless.
The specimens found thus far are
about six inches in length. Larger
ones are unable to pass through the
pipe if they exist.
It is estimated that the pressure
beneath the surface under which the
fish live is 779 pounds to the square
inch. The fish expand and in many
cases burst when they come to the
surface.
The underground lake is though to
be narrow, as other artesian wells of
the same depth in other parts of San
Antonio have brought up no fish.

all of the greatness of democracy, ex
cept the last legislature.
Another fine things about the bee
is the way he discouraged people
who bother him when he is busy.

If you were the only person in town that traded with
mail order concerns—it would hurt some—but it wouldn't paralyze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence your out
of-town-trading exerted over others. Other people might follow in your
foot-steps of foreign trading and that following would prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
•r' >
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. yTake pride in
your community. Feel that money spent here at home is playing an
important part in building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
you want and goes towards some public good. That it helps increase the
efficiency of schools—puts down better street crossings—erects better
libraries—brightens the town's lights—makes the parks more attractive—pays
for better police protection, etc.
Instead of fostering the mail order habit—fight it openly.
Teach the truth of home trading. Preach home patronage. Show mail
order buyers the error of their ways—and go out of your way to do it.
Local merchants handle the highest - grademerchan
dise. They carry advertised brands. They*sell at a proper
price—makes of goods that bear the stamp of honest manufacturer.
They deal open-handedly. They don't cover up questionable quality
with private labels. They offer you the latest and most dependable
lines—in all lines of merchandise. Their stores are conveniently at hand. You
can reach them in a few short seconds—over the phone—or step right into their
places of business—give or leave your order—and have the goods delivered
straight to your home—all in a few minutes time.
They willingly accommodate you. They take particular
pains to give you just what you want right when you want it. You
don’t have to buy in big quantities to save freight or express charges. You can
spend less at a time—and save considerable sums in cash, to say nothing of the
great saving of time and trouble.
Advocate those advantages. Do mail order traders a
good turn by turning them away from away-from-home buying—liven
up local business, and by so doing speed the town along the road of progress.
Spend your money where it will in turn be spent
local improvements instead of sending it away to fatten business ana
better conditions of oth er communities. Support the community that supports you;,
