GUAVA TREE FLOURISHES
IN THE SOIL OF MEXICO
From Its Fruit Is Made the Jelly
Famous Throughout World :

The guayaba or guava, Psydium sp..
which is native to Mexico, offers
great possibilities to the cultivator of
tropical fruits. The guayaba is found
nearly everywhere throughout the
tropical region, but as yet little or
nothing has been done to perfect the
fruit by cultivation. In all parts of
the gulf slope it f1ourishes, growing
in dense thickets in many places. Natu-
rally, the fruit in its wild state is
rather small and inferior in other re-
spects. but when the tree is given a
fair chance, even without cultivation.
it attains a height of from 10 to is
feet, and the fruit viii be from TO
inches in diameter. Its flavor is we'll
known through the famous guava jelly
There are several varieties of this
fruit, the most common being the red
apple shaped and the yellow pear
shaped. The former is usually rather
small, but is of an exceedingly fine
flavor. 1t is a heavy bearer and under
favorable conditions a single tree will
produce several bushels of fruit The
yellow pear shaped fruit is very much
larger and is also heavy bearer
Both varieties ordinarily have bios
SONS and fruit in every stage of de-
velopment at the same time-in fact.
the trees are seldom without ripe fruit
With only the most primitive cultiVa-
ton and by simply keeping under con-
troll the rampant tropical vegetation so
that the sunlight can reach the ground.
the bearing capacity of the tree ia
increased many fold and the size and
quality of the fruit are also greatly
improved.
The zapote, Achras sp.. of which
there are several varieties. among
which the zapote Nancy and zapote
chies are the most preferred. is a fruit
of delicate flavor, and grows in pro-
fusion throughout this tropical region.
The trees are of slow growth, begin TO
bear in four to FIVE years, and are
very enduring.

STRIKING MEN CLASH
WITH CONSTABULARY
Anger Due to Arrival of State
Troops Results in Lively Riot

BUTLER, Pa. July 1S.-In a riot
following the unexpected arrival here
of detachment of state constabulary
late this afternoon a striking empIoye
of the Standard steel car company of
Lyndora was probably fatally injured
and two bystanders were seriously
wounded. Thirty supposed strike lead
ers were arrested.
The strikers gathered around the
plant, angered at the arrival of the
troops. This caused the clash.
The entrance today of 500 employees
of the Standard wheel company, a con-
Germ manufacturing pressed steel
wheels, into the ranks of the $500
striking men of the Standard steel car
company. has caused the situation here
TO be regarded as serious.
The approach of the constabulary
became known through strike pickets
An alarm was sounded throughout the
little suburb of Lyndora, where the
plant of the Standard steel car COM
pany is located, and within a few mo-
ments thousands of strikers and their
sympathizers lined the streets.
Slowly the troopers cleared the
streets and alleys until the way appar-
emily was clear as far as the car COM
panys plant.
Marching order was again formed,
but the troopers had not ridden 20
yards before they were pelted with
bottles, Stag, pieces of board and Jumps
of coal thrown from the tops of houses
along the narrow street.
The troopers were ordered to draw
and load their guns. As>the column
of 40 men advanced the crowds again
surged into the streets. Putting their
horses to a trot the constabulary rode
into the crowd. firing their weapons
into the ground. 1t was during this
clash that three persons were shot
The strikers used revolvers freely. it

LOCAL WATER USERS ORGANIZE
For the Purpose of Arranging to
Meet Senate Committee and
Answer Questions.

About fifty of the water users of this
project met at the court house Satur-
day evening for the purpose OF effect
ing an organization along the lines
mentioned in the last issue of this pap
er, i. e., to incorporate all the inter-
ests Of this project including the older
settlers in an organization for the pur-
pose of making a plausible and logical
presentation of facts concerning pro-
ject affairs, to the senate committee
on irrigation upon their arrival here
early in October.
A. d. Drumm was elected temporary
chairman of Saturday evenings meet
ing and j. b. Young temporary secre-
tary. The next meeting will be held
on the evening of Saturday, June 26th.
In the meantime, committee COM
posed of Thomas Dolf, Herbert Austin,
j. B. Young, Fulton H. Sears, and
Morris Downey will work to select a
number Of groups from the questions
submitted by Hon. Thomas H. Carter,
chairman of the senate committee on
national irrigation, so that intelligent
replies can be made to these questions.
In all twenty questions compose the
list Of interrogations submitted which
have to do with practically every qucs-
tion that affects this projects welfare.
The questions are a comprehensive lot
and it is planned to make the answers
thereto equally comprehensive and at
the same time brief. 1t is for this
purpose that different groups Of ques-
tions will be handled by different com
mittees.
The new organization disclaims any
desire to antagonize in the remotest
manner anyone, but the announced
purpose of hewing to the line appears
to this paper to be good one. If we
have single condition that needs rem
edying it is to our credit rather than
against US that a remedy will be asked.
Certainly nothing could be gained by
secretly hiding defects if they exist.

City Council Doings.

The council met Tuesday evening
in special session, at which time sever
al important questions came up for
discussion, including the disposal of
sewage and the necessary preliminary
steps to take for the installation of
the proposed sS5, 900 water system.
City Clerk Noble reported that he had
received many inquiries from eastern
bond buyers about our proposed bond
issue, Notwithstanding the fact that
they will draw five per cent interest.
Inasmuch as there is at present no city
Indebtedness and the proposed issue
only amounts to around five per cent
of Fallon's assessed valuation and the
further fact that the town is backed
by a government irrigation project
costing around five million dollars, it is
believed that the bonds will be particu-
larly attractive as an investment to
those who specialize in buying safe
municipal bonds.
w. S, Wallis appointment as city at
torney was formally confirmed and his
bond fixed at $500.
The next meeting of the council will
occur next Tuesday evening.

Churchill Hotel Changes Hands.

Mayor NJ. l., Wildes leased the
Churchill hotel property and business
to j. W. Kerr this week and will de-
vote his time in the future to contract
ing and building, his chosen calling.
Mr.. Kerr well understands the need of
the public and will prove capable
and obligiag host.
The Churchill Hotel is the town s
most centrally located hostelry and en-
joys great favor with the travelling
public. Mr. Wildes and his estimable
wife have done much to make their ho-
tel popular and it devolves upon Mr..
and Mrs. Kerr to fulfill the policy of
of their predecessors, which they prom
ise to do. Naturally the Wildes still
owning the hotel will be solicitous re-
garding the welfare of the business
and they ask for their lessee a con
tnuance of the fayors formerly theirs.

Preparing for the Fourth.

The Fourth of July committees are
very active arranging for the coming
celebrations, and judging from present
indications the coming celebration will
surpass all former efforts to do honor
to Uncle Sans birthday. The prizes
planned for the winners of the various
events will be handsome and valuable.
We learn that Saltwater will make an
effort this year to prepare float that
will capture first prize and floats will
likely be seen in the parade from other
communities in the county.
The baseball game scheduled for
celebration day is arousing good deal
of interest and the outside team that
comes here to lower the local colors
and take away the cash prize will have
to be pretty nifty for the local team
will be composed of the very best
talent in this section.
The voting contest for goddess of
liberty goes ON apace and the partisans
of the various candidates are getting
busy. 1t is not unlikely that lively
electioneering will characterize this
feature.

MODERN CREAMERY BUILDING
l. |. Metzger is Erecting a Ce-
ment Structure as Home
For His Creamery

|. |. Metzger, the Fallon creamery
man will soon commence work on a
modern creamery building to be situat-
ed on his property in the Verplank
Addition recently purchased from l. H.
Kent, and has already started the
work of hauling the rock to the build
ing site. The building will be of solid
cement with cement floors and will be
twenty-five feet BY thirty-five feet in
dimensions.
Mr.. Metzger says that his business
continues to climb in volume and that
a solid enduring foundation is being
laid that must make of his enterprise
one of our chief assets in times to
come. Too much encouragement can
not be given the creamery business,
for in future years it is bound to be
our chief industry from the very ma
tme of our country.

THE CITYS WATER SYSTEM
Will Undoubtedly Be Built. No
Trouble VIII Be Expert
encedIn Selling Bonds.

As time draws near for final action
by the city council on the proposed
municipal water system for this town,
the idea continues to grow in favor
and those who opposed the scheme most
radically in its inception favor it strong
ly, now that some Of the apparent
good that must come from its installa-
ton becomes known. A fact that has
done much to dispel criticism and OBJ
lection is the business like manner in
which the city council has gone about
the preparatory work in connection
with this important innovation.
Already several wells have been
sunk on the w. w. Williams tract
just east of the western city incorpora-
ton line on Williams Avenue, and tests
made on each of these wells have dem
onstrated that they have tapped a
regular underground lake with limit
less supply of water that apparently
percolates through the underground
gravel and sand thus affording not
only abundant water for fire protection
but supply that is pure and fit for
domestic use.
From this point on Williams avenue
the mains will extend east to East
street. south into the Verplank addition
and the network of mains will be so
complete upon the systems installation
that fire protection will be afforded
every portion Of the town. Extensions
from the mains as planned now will be
made for domestic use from time to
time and it is calculated that eventually
every household in FalIon will be using
the city supply, which will be furnished
at minimum of cost.
Among the advantages to accrue
from the installation of a city water
supply is the doing away with theunsani-
tary feature that has long ago become
irksome to our residents, for with the
general use Of water from mains, the
fear of contamination from sewage
vaults will no longer exist and the dry
system can then be abandoned.
