ere good and the apple crop is i'm
mense.
In the east, Georgia expected 5000
cars of peaches and will not have
over 3O0O New York state and Con-
necticut had 5000 cars to ship last
year, and their crop is a failure this
year. They will not have enough for
local Use. These crops do not come
into the markets in vigorous compe-
tition with our grapes, but the short
age is factor in general marketing
conditions in the East this year.
The first table grapes are going
cut Of the Imperial Valley this month
of June and everything points to the
use of utmost care in the matter Of
picking at the proper time when the
sugar content is sufficient.
For the information of our table
grape growers we publish the fol-
lowing resolution, adopted at the an
nual convention of the Western Fruit
Jobbers' Association of America, in
Kansas City, last February:
Shipment Of Unripe Grapes.
Whereas, the state board of viii
cultural commissioners of California,
appointed by Governor Hiram w.
johnson for the purpose of eonserv-
ing the table, raisin and wine grape
industry Of the state, has been en-
gagged in an endeavor during the last
three months to improve conditions of
California table grapes; and
Whereas, after thorough investiga-
tion, the viticultural commission finds
that much injury has come to the ta-
bic grape industry Of California
through early shipments of unripe ta
bic grapes to almost every section of
the United States; and
Whereas, these hasty shipment,
OF green and immature table grapes
from California have the effect of de-
pressing prices and injuring the de-
mand in all sections after they have
reached the consumer; and
whereas, this practice works an
injury and entails loss both to the
producers and the shippers of these
grapes, and in many cases creates the
fallacy that the fruit shipping firms
and eastern distributors are to blame
IN connection with salesmanshin ahil-
VI, c.I
Whereas, the said practice is an
absolute injury to the reputation of
California as the state producing the
finest table grapes in the United
States; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Western
Fruit Jobbers' Association, in con-
ventlon assembled this sixth day Of
February, 1914, do proclaim that we
are IN hearty accord with the WORK
OF the viticultural commission of Cal.
fornia, and will do everything in
cur power to cooperate with the COM
mission in an honest and earnest en-.
deavor to have abolished entirely tho
practice of shipping green and unripe
table grapes out of the State of Cali.

ing resolution is true and exact
copy OF the resolution adopted by
the members of the Western Fruit
Jobbers' Association of America. Of

femio Zapata, brother of General EN-
lllano Iapata, the Mexican "brigand
chief" arrived in Los Angeles yester-
day en- route for Saltillo, Mexico.
bearing proposition for General Car
rama, first chief of the constitutions
alist army, in which his brother Of
fers support to the rebels for an i'm
mediate attack upon Mexico City, un-
der the following provisions:
"That Carranza guarantee to Gen
eral Emiliano Zapata and his follow
ers a fair distribution of lands and
feudal haciendas, valued at millions
of dollars and now in the hands of
the federals, when Mexico City is TAX
en- and the constitutionalists are in
power.
"That Carranza furnish to Zapata
sufficient heavy guns and men to
make the attack successful"
Further provisions in the document
held by General Zapata were not
given to Adolfo Carrillo, rebel consul
in Los Angeles, with whom the Mex
ican trigand's brother conferred yes
terday.
General Zapata reported to Carrillo
that the advance guard of his
brothers 10000 men is in the fash
ionable suburbs within fifteen miles
of Mexico City, and is ready to ad-
vance at any time. The situation as
outlined to Carrillo by him follows:
More than $4,000 men under Zapata
with plenty of guns and ammunition
are in possession of the states of
Guerrero and Morelos.
More than 5000 additional men are
camped in the valley of Mexico.
The advance guard is in the fash
ionablc suburbs at San Angel, Miz-
coac, Flatpan and Corgatlan.
Zapata has enough men, but needs.
= ---@-V ~--~siAS.s..ss " SOvtf Tile ddVdnce
of his men,. He asked also for armed
men who may be needed. Zapata is
ready to operate under Carranza's
orders.
The arrival of General Zapata here
and news of his errand which spread
rapidly through the mass of consti-
tutioaalist sympathizers here settled
for once and all the doubt that has
prevailed in this country regarding
Zapata's stand in favor of the con-
stitutionalist cause. They infer that
he is not only friendly with Carranza,
hut is ready to devote all his time
and energy to the rebel cause.
General Eufemio Zapata, who left
his brother near Mexico City two
weeks ago, is about 90 years old, tall
and Gignified, and looks more like a
scholar than fighter He said he
went from Mexico City to Acapulco
and thence to San Francisco by boat.
He is travelling incognito.
Although he cannot talk English, the
Mexican general said through Carrillo
that Mexico City would be taken very
soon "if Carranza will do as my
brother wishes"

OLIVE OIL NEGOTIATIONS
 INTO THE UNITED STATES

Washington, D. C., May 22.-Im- ports of edible olive oil into the United States during the first six months un- der the new tariff aggregated 3 mil lion gallons valued at million dollars or equal to the value of any years inn ports down to and including 1908. During the decade 1904-1913, the az gregate imports of this article, as shown by official figures of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, amounted to 39 million gallons, valued at F million dollars, an annual average only slightly in excess of the record made by the last six months. These figures are exclusive of olive oil fit only for manufacturing or mechanical purpo- .ses, denatured by the addition of nitro benzine or oil of rosemary. Of this oil. obtained chiefly from Italy and Greece, the imports range from 1 mil lion to nearly million gallons an nually.
 The high food value of olive oil is a subject to which attention has ire quently been directed in consular re- ports and in bulletins of the Depart ment of Agriculture. and the cultlva- ton of the olive in California has al ready assumed important proportions. The domestic production of olive oil has not, however, been sufficient to meet the demand in this country, and a large proportion of the consumption is supplied by the imported article. Italy is the chief source of supply, inn ports from that country ranging from 2b million gallons in 1909 to 312 mll- lion in 1913. Of French olive oil the imports have ruled slightly under l million gallons annually, last years total having been 933,000 gallons, com. pared with 35O,O00 gallons from Spain 227, ,000 from Greece, and 125,O00 gal Ions from about Is other countries, including Turkey, England, Scotland, Canada, Cuba, Austria Hungary. Ger many, Netherlands, Portugal. and Fri poll.
 There is now wide recognition of cottonseed oil as practically equal to olive oil in food value. As a salad oil it is scarcely distingunishable from olive oil in taste and appearance, IS easily assimilabe by the digestive sys-

A Regular Attendant


 Rastus, diminutive negro boy, who has been in police court more times than he has fingers and toes, was again a prisoner the other morning. Rastus knew from past experience just where to stand when he faced the judge, just where to raise his right hand and the psychological mo- ment to inform the judge that he was eleven years old.
 "I don't know what am going to dc with you anyway" said the judge leaning over the bench and looking into the whites of the little negro's eyes. "Rastus, tell me how many times you have been brought into this court"
 'I don't know how many times Judge" spoke the youthful violatol of city ordinances, "but this am tn, last time I'se been heah."

WHY NOT GET
 A GUARANTEE?
Every Article of Merit that is Sold These Days is Guaranteed-No Guarantee Often Means
 Poor Quality.

There is very little excuse for any person to claim that he has been "stung" on a purchase. Fifty years ago the buyer had to look out, but to- day it is unusual to find a merchant who will not return the money for any article that has proved unsatisfactory.
 An excellent example of this kind of fair dealing is shown by the clean cut guarantee that Hesterly Drug Store gives to Dodson's Liver Tone.
 These people tell us that any person who pays soc. for bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and does not find it a gentle and most pleasant liver tonic, harmless, but sure reliever of con- stipation and perfect substitute for calomel, can get his money back just as quick as they can get it out of the money drawer.
 Dodson's Liver Tone has practically taken the place of calomel. It is ab- solutely harmless, sure in it's action and causes no restriction of habit or diet. No wonder the drug people are glad to guarantee it, while other re- medies that initiate the claims of Dod- sons Liver Tone are not guaranteed at all. Advt.

Little Rock, May 22.-It is quietly whispered about Little Rock political circles that w. G. Hutton, secretary o1 the State Democratic Central Con- mIttee, will be candidate for Con gress two years hence opposing II. M. Jacoway, the incumbent. Mr. Hutton Is now sheriff of Pulaski county. and for the past ten years has been quite active in state politics. Congressman Jacoway IS serving his third term, and has made most enviable reputation for himself at Washington. He will be difficult to defeat if he is can dldate for reelection, which is a fore gone conclusion.

All Necessary Knowledge.

It is well known that in the bed of the St. Lawrence river, the outlet of the Great Lakes, there are in many places masses of rocks that make navigation dangerous except to reli- able men whose knowledge of the safe channels is unquestioned. A passenger on one of its steamers was plying the captain with questions as to the saftey of the journey, and at length asked:
 Captain do you know where all the rocks are in this river?"
 In his patient, deliberate manner he replied, "No, ma'am, l don't know where all the rocks are, but l know where the channel is.'

The Quality Fountain

tenn, and is much cheaper, selling at wholesale for about 60 cents a gallon as against over $2 a gallon for olive oil. The United States now produces about 200 million gallons. of cotton seed oil per annum, imports + mil lion gallons, and exports considerable quantities to foreign countries. While the exports thereof aggregated near ly 30 million gallons in 1912, they de- clined to 35 million gallons in 1913. This was due to the fact that by the new hardening process which Ameri- can manufacturers are using in the manufacture of lards and cooking fats, a much larger share of cotton oil can be used therein; hence it can be used to better advantage for home con sumption than in the export trade. This comes at a time when there is a decrease in the slaughtering of beef cattle in the United States, which would otherwise have brought about a big shortage in the supply of oleo- stearin, formerly necessary in the manufacture of lard compounds

The Power of the Opium Habit.

In the June American Magazine T former newspaper man. who became a victim of the opium habit and is now convict in a penitentiary. writes a dramatic account of his experiences with the drug. He gives as follows his idea of the power of the habit:
 q do not believe that any man with an opium or morphine habit of vears' standing can deny himself the drug if it is within reach.
 T do not believe that any man. no matter what his previous character may have been, can use opium con tinuously and not have the impulse to be crooked. He may not be crooked. he may lack the nerve or the necessity to steal, but the impulse will be there, and if it ever becomes a question of theft or habit he will thieve.. This is the history of every opium smoker I have ever known"

pIrsTNESS ORGANIZATION

of course there are great many ,eople who say that we do not need a a p''f phor of commerce or a board of
 ' ''do or some similar organization.
 r.ry @ well. possibly we do not. But
 :, p prescott had an organization of sn,iress men who would get it square lr hack of the road movement here ror. it would be worth more to Pres ,Ott than any one thing we know of. We are not saying this simply to hear .,r voices ring. It is an actual fact that other towns are taking trade away from us simply because they are nusbing the road movement in all di- rections. Now possibly no one be- leyes this. We are just little bit ashamed to give illustration. They do not look well in print, and yet tbere is no reason why we should not state some positive facts in this con pection if it would arouse us to a sense of our duty to ourselves and to our own people.
 But the road movement is by no means all that there would be for a trade organization in Prescott. Our manufacturing interests and many other things are suffering simply be- cause we have no organization to pro- tect and foster them. We say without hesitancy that if at least two thirds of the business men of Prescott would enter into a sincere organization and agreement to do the things that they could agree upon as necessary and proper for our progress, Prescott would be one of the best towns in Southwest Arkansas, if not in the whole State.
