SAYS FAULT IS
IN MARKETING
NO SURPLUS OF PEACHES
EXPERIENCE OF MORRILTON
ASSOCIATION CITED BY
G. L. MAYS.

In a communication in today's Ar
kansas Gazette, G. l.. Mays, general
agent for the Faulkner County Truck
Growers Association and other SINH
lar organizations, contends that there
is no overplus of peaches, the trouble
in disposing of the crop occurring
when peaches are consigned to the
market instead of being sold at the
shipping point. Exaggerated reports
of the size of the crop, he states, are
also partially responsible for a de-
pressed market. Mr.. Mays letter
follows:
81 notice in every paper published
in Arkansas stories about the large
liberia peach crop. The facts are
there is no oversupply of peaches,
but there is big oversupply of
would-be marketing agents. For in
stance, Van Buren, advertises 300
cars. Van Buren, will not ship one
half of 300 cars. What is the idea
VI Tie "iiSii biiNy iNelt
these advertisements? Cheap peaches,
of course. If the growers will learn
how to grade and pack their fruit
honestly and put it in the hands of
Experienced marketing agents and let
these agents advertise facts, there
will be no trouble in making f. o. b.
sales at reasonable prices.
| In the three years the Morrilton
Association has been in business it
has never consigned single car. The
associations fruit is graded and
packed right and the buyers know
this and are on the ground with cash
Morrilton and Plumerville will have
about 100 cars of Elbertas and now
have orders for more than one-half
the output. Other associations can
do the same with the proper method
of handling. G. L. MAYS.

MOST PATIENT OF THIEVES
In San Francisco Man Was Discov-
cred Stealing the Parts Of
Roller Skates.

Out at the Coliseum skating rink
there has been discovered evidence
of one Of the most patient and hope
full thieves in America. A day or
two ago he undertook to steal a pair
of skates piecemeal, but the evil
dence of his work was discovered and
he remains in possession of three
wheels, bolt or two and a couple
OF pieces of metal that can be of no
earthly use without the remaining
sections of the skates, which remain
IN possession of the management. To
compensate for the loss the Coliseum
stands in possession of one felt hat.
with the name of the dealer cut out
of the band and a gap where the
owners initials were carried.
To evade the regulations of the
rink the optimistic crook was obliged
to carry an extra hat or cap and a
set of tools which enabled him 10
take the skates apart. The unpur-
Joined portions were discovered by a
special policeman in an unfrequented
corner OF the pavilion.-San Francis

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL-AND
HEALTHFUL.

Although only short time has
Ielapsed since it's organization, the
work of the City Beautiful Associa-
ton has already become noticeably
apparent throughout the city. The
sidewalks in the business district
have been cleared of merchandise and
debris and the streets though still
dirty, and much cleaner than they
were two months ago. In the resi-
dence district the number of pretty,
well-kept lawns has been greatly in
creased, and there is scarcely home
in the city the premises of which
have not been improved in appear
ance The courthouse grounds are
rapidly being converted into beauti
full park and will soon be one of the
most attractive spots in town.
For all these things the active
members of the City Beautiful Asso-
citation are entitled to the thanks of
all the people. Their efforts are
worth more in proportion to the
amount of energy and money expend-
ed than if directed along any other
line By causing the use of a little
muscle and a few hundred dollars in
cleaning up, they are doing more to
advance the value of Conway proper
ty than if they were causing tens of
thousands of dollars to be expended
in new buildings. The rapidity of
their work is also a matter for con-
graduation When there is so much
to be done and when the public senti-
ment for a clean and beautiful town
must be slowly created and developed,
it is really a wonder that so much
has been done in such a short slime.
A pretty lawn and well-kept side
walk, however, are very contagious,
and when one citizen in neighbor-
hood makes his premises beautiful,
the contrast presented is so great
that personal pride Immediately in
spires his neighbors to follow his ex-
ample.

Reinforced Concrete of Old Rome.

Although concrete has been used
for many centuries, it is generally sup
posed that reinforced concrete is a
modern invention. This, however, has
been disproved. according to Popular
Mechanics by the finding of bronze
reinforcing rods in the concrete roof
of an ancient Roman tomb, and In the
discovery of reinforced concrete in
the construction of one of the walls
of the old palace of the Louvre, Paris.
The reinforced concrete in the lat.
ter dates back only 300 or 400 years,
but created much comment because
the walls were thought to consist en-
tirely Of ashlar and quarry stone. The
discovery that the stone casing con-
cealed a core composed in part of re-
inforced concrete was made while
workmen were piercing the wall for
an elevator installation.

TO INSTALL A COMPRESS
RUSSELLVILLE CLOSES DEAL
WITH LITTLE ROCK
COMPANY.

Russellville, July 15.-The Russell
vile Board of Trade has closed a
deal with the Modern Gin Company
Of Little Rock for the location in this
city of cotton compress, which will
be erected at once and put in opera
ton by the opening of the coming
cotton season. The compress will be
of 1000 bales daily capacity and will
handle all cotton on the Fort Smith
road between Russellville and Van
Buren,. The Phelps compress, having
capacity of 80 pounds density, will
be used.
The Modern Gin Company have
three congresses in operation in Ar
kansas and four in Missouri. The
deal here was made through T. F
Hutchinson, representing the compa-
ny, which will be incorporated for
/ $50, 900. AS an inducement for the
location of the compress the Board
of Trade gave a bonus of a four-acre
site and $4,000 cash. The site is on
the east side of town, adjoining the
Iron Mountain and Dardanelle anG
Russellville tracks, and the superin.
tendent of the Iron Mountain was
here yesterday making surveys fol
the necessary sidings for the com
press.

beautiful and of even greater import
ance is the work of lettering the san
itary conditions. The back yard
should be made as pretty and as clean
as the front yard, even though it
might never be seen by the public.
This is for the sake of health, which
is more to be desired than beautiful
surroundings.
Scattered garbage and manure, I'M
sanitary closets and piles of empty
tin cans are directly responsible for
probably two-thirds of the sickness in
Conway. If the well-known rules of
sanitation were carried out to the let
ter by every citizen, there would new
er be single case of typhoid or ma
laria and few of any other diseases.
Flies and mosquitoes are almost ex-
clusively responsible for the trans
mission of these two diseases; and it
is both practically and theoretically
possible that there should not be a fly
or mosquito bred in Conway. To
bring about this condition would re-
quire, it is true, unremitting labor
and unrelenting vigilance. Flies
breed in garbage and stable manure
and if these are kept in proper re-
ceptacles so that flies could not have
access to them, there would soon be
no more flies. Mosquitoes, now known
to be the sole means of distributing
malaria, breed exclusively in stag
nant water. One empty tin can con-
tanning half-pint of water will fur
nish Matching place for enough
mosquitoes to worry family all
summer and perhaps to infect them
with malarial diseases. One unpro-
tected pile of manure will breed mil
lion of flies.
1t is no excuse to say that it is use
less for one to make move toward
fly and mosquito determination I'M
less every citizen would make SIM
Infamous effort in the same direc-
ton. The habits of both flies and
mosquitoes are such that neither in
sect ever travels more than a few
hundred feet from its breeding place
If none were bred on ones own prem
Uses he would be disturbed by them
very little. If a few contiguous
blocks should be formed into an "im-
provement district" and kept abso-
lutely sanitary, the inhabitants of
those blocks would be almost entirely
free from these e-disseminating
insects.
The sewer system when completed
viii aid much in this work, but in the
meantime sanitary conditions can, if
the citizens make the effort, be r:ade
almost ideally perfect and the health
of Conway improved to a degree al
most unbelievable.
There should be no halt in the
work of identifying our city and
there should be wonderful impetus
in the work of improving its sanitary
conditions.
