GOOD WORDS FOR
 OUR CANNING FACTORY

Surely SpringdaIe is looking up. The advent of new people with enterprise and broadmind- edness is bearing fruit. Our vinegar factories have come to utilize and convert into money all the inferior apples that have hitherto gone 70 waste, amount ing 10 thousands of dollars every year.
 Our.new fessees of the canning factory, MeSSrS. (. IF. Godfrr X Son and associates of Benton Harbor, Mich. are doing a great work in the upbuilding ot an in- du>try, with q pay roll of $500 per week that reaches all classes in town and vicinity. Ninety-tive to ole hundred and twenty-five women find employ- ment at good wages aS high aS Sl.50 per day, to say nothing Of the , oi l5 men who are steadi. fly employed.
 How does 45.00o cans of black berries strike you> They have them. Their output of peaches will exceed 20. ooo cans. and It least 5000 bushels of culls VIII be used that would otherwise go to waste. After peaches, tomatoes will come of which l50 acres are covered by contract. Next will De apples of which they will handle 500 bushels q day and they hope 10 have this supply for six weeks. Think of the advan- tages that accrue to the growers III the saving of labor III packing and the expense Of packages and the employment afforded the wo- men. 1t pays to work up our own product at home. It Is said that communities prosper in pro- portion as the people find em- ployment, all of which is true.
 While we have not the factor ies, the boast of Northern cities and villages, We have I tremen- dous fruit industry, getting larger every year, that gives em-

on the east side of the tank shed iS aslcd 30N60 feet which will be
 used for handling shipping ap- l pies. And to the south of the
 press room are located the eleven bins for apples which will hold
 thousands of bushels.
 The problem of unloading ap- pies has been solved. and 1t will require only d moments time te unload. The load is first weigh ed onlarge platform scales and then the wagon is driven on an elevated platform and d device so arranged that the rear end of the wagon drops, and the entire load falls into hopper underneath. From this hopper an elevator takes them either to the storage bins or to tile bins in the build- ing which feed the presses. as may be desired. From the press es tramway is being construct eel on which the pomace what Is left ot the apples after the juice k extracted will be carried off a distance of 150 feet from the building.
 \ spur 300 feet long is to be constructed alongside the works by the railway company. The survey has already been made and work it is expected will be- gin 1t once. This will enable the company to load their pro- ducts from their own doors. and will prove big saving, both of time and money. An excellent wagon road has also been graded from the street leading down to the factory.
 When the factory gets in oper- atioa only about twenty people will be employed, but the bene- fits that will result to the con- manity are not so much from the number of people that will be em- pioyed, as the fact that it will Use all apples that have hereto fore gone to waste. A visit to the factory, even now, will con- vince anyone that it will be great thing for Springdale.

 Cold storage would be beneii- clal III many ways. MT. God frey tells me he would be glad to buy large quantity of peaches and apples If cold storage was at hand q, 1 would enable them to continue operation until winter. The firm has been greatly ham, pered Financially by the excessive reiglteharges on supplies Heed- cd to operate For instance freight charges OF cans in car lots from Benton IIarbor are s6 cents per hundred cans. 5000. .oo i'll one week have already been paid to tile railroads.
 These gentlemen deserve well at the hands of our people in ap- pree1ation for the good things afforded us by their coming and every effort Sllot1l be made by our citizens to induce Mr. God frey and his estimable wife to re- main with us.

The eight days session ot the tenth annual Ghautauqua closed Sunday night. With two eXcep- tions the program was carried out just as advertised. The eN- captions were Dr. Morimoto, who vas to have leetured Friday night. and the vitagraph which was to have appeared Saturday night. Both these attractions were contracted for through Mr. Bartell of Siloam Springs who conducted q number of Chautau- quas at different points, and 1t was no fault of the local eon- mittee that they did not appear. MT. Bartell,s excuse for not send ing the vitagraph was that the expense would be greater than he had anticipated, although lle had entered into written contract with the committee to furnish the attraction on that date. 4 telegram waS received from Dr. hforimoto Friday afternoon stat ing that he had missed eonnee- ton and could not be here, so  that Is the last heard of the Jap. Happily the committee was able to secure q satisfactory substitute for Dr. Morinoto ln the person of Rev. Marion Nel- >on Waldrip, who pleased and de- lighted large audience with bis lecture "Puss Wants | Cor her. For Saturday night an ex- cel.ent musical program was ren- dered by the orchestra, assisted by Miss Io Miller.
