MAYOR MULLEN
INTERESTED
IN PECA n s
HAS PURCHASED 1000 TREES. J.
S. MULLEN is NOW SETTING
OUT 5000 PEACH TREES ON HIS
FARM EAST OF ARDMoRE

Erret Dunlap is experimenting the
setting out of six thousand peach
trees on the Mullen farm just east of
Ardmore. He is having the holes dy-
namited for the trees. This tract of
land already has eight thousand trees
growing, and when the addition is
made, 1t will be a large commercial
orchard. Counting 100 trees to the
acre, the orchard will cover 40 acres.
Mayor Val Mullen has purchased
900 pecan trees and is having them
set on one of his farms north OF Ard
more This is the largest order ever
placed by any citizen of this county
for pecan trees, and If they do well,
the mayor will have the largest pecan
orchard in the county Of set trees.
There are larger orchards than that
of the native pecan trees.

Italians to Help Serbs.

London, Dec 3.-Italy through her
foreign minister Baron Sonnino, has
announced her adhesion to the treaty
of London, whereby the allied powers
undertake not to conclude a separate
peace and at the same time has de-
clared her intention of sending help
to the Serbian army in the Balkans
This news, the most important for
several days, will go far to clear the
the situation, especially in Greece,
where negotiations are still proceed
ing between King Constantine, his cab
met and the ministers of the quadruple
entente. These negotiations have been
protracted owing to Greece's unwill
ingness to allow the allies free use of
the railways and the right to police
Greek waters against submarines
They are not yet completed, but the
latest advices indicate that they are
likely TO end in complete satisfaction
to the entente powers, the assurance
that Italy as well as Great Britain,
France and Russia, is to give support
to the Serbians in the efforts to re-
gain their lost territory, making the
case for Greek assistance stronger.
Otherwise the situation in the Bal
kans remains unchanged. The Serbians
still hold Monastir, but their position

you intimate that influence (vulgarly

a certain Mrs. CUthbert in an article
entitled Immoral District" is not
fully convinced 'the finest" at all
times does it's duty. l am somewhat
inclined myself to the same belief as

local sheet sometimes called the Cal
umet, a signed statement by the then
police captain that all the resorts
here were closed tighter than a drum
and the very same night have Dan
nenberg come down and arrest S5
inmates out of some dozen houses
running wide open.
I have seen in the same sheet an
interview by a reporter with the same
commanding officer that there was
no mistake about their being closed
and the next morning read of re-
vocation Of a saloon license because
Mayor HarTison's special investiga-
tor, found it full of prostitutes plying
