ues for the two crops $500 and $1,000
respectively.
We also had 50 tons of hay worth
$500 per ton, and 500 bushels of po-
tatoes, worth 80 cents per bushel, the

Our best yields this year were 107

seeded this years entire crop, put in
seven acres of alfalfa and five acres
of garden potatoes, trees, etc, all
with one four-horse team. During har-

from this, and part of the breaking,
the one team did the work of raising
practically $4,000 bushels of grain,
worth $4,000.

Safe Blowers. Are Still Busy.

The postoffice at Charleston was
blown open about 2 o'clock Sunday
morning and 1925 taken from the safe.
The safeblowers have escaped and
there is but little hope for their cap
ture as there are practically no clues
for the officers to work on.
Dynamite caps were used in blowing
the safe open. The caps were purchas-
ed at Russellville hardware store.
The money taken from the safe
was in small denominations.
Some money was found scat
tered along the railroad track toward
Fort Smith. 1t is believed that the
money was dropped along the track
purposely in order, if possible, to lead
the officers to think that the safe
blowers had gone toward Fort Smith.

People on Pyra! Lines Should
Use Due Caution

Postmaster at Ellensburg desires
to call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery Of
placing loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire to dispatch
letters instead of supplying them
selves with postage in advance of
their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes and
delays them OH the service of their
routes.
The postmaster therefore, urgen-
tly requests that patrons of rural
delivery provide themselves and
keep OH hand a supply of stamps
consistent with and in advance of
their needs. 1t is also very desir-
able that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins, When necessary, in
purchasing supplies Of stamps.
