animation since his appointment.

Hugo, Ok, shortly after it opened for
business Monday morning, September
G, and before noonc of that day he
found that Baird was S14,160 short in
his accounts. He summoned Baird and
asked him for an explanation. Baird
admitted that Mr. Machcn's report
was correct, and informed the Cape
Girardcauan that the shortage had es-
capped Mr. Machcn's predecessors for
five years.
Mr. Machcn notified the president Of
the bank Of the shortage and recon-
mcndcd the arrest Of Baird. He was
taken into custody by Deputy United
States Marshal Stamper.

known Hugo family, is under bond for

MORLEY MELON men
MADE$5O,OOOIN19l5
Leroy c. Leslie Says Farmers
Shipped Over 800 Cars
This Season.

"Watermelons, which for the last
three years, have been the life savers
for farmers living around Morley, this
summer made $4,000 for them," Lee
roy c. Leslie, cashier of the Bank of
Morley, declared yesterday afternoon
when he was in the Cape OH a business
trip.
The crop has been wonderful. /
am confident that it is not exagerat-
ing bit to say that our farmers have
shipped out between 300 and 400 car
loads of melons this summer, and mel
ons of tip-top quality.
"That shipment alone is worth the
$4,000 l mentioned.
"And, let me add, the watermelons
arc not the only things we are going
to have in our section of Southeast
Missouri this year, he continued. They
have helped wonderfully in making di-
vcrsity of crops, but we have good
crop of wheat, corn, hay and various
other things that Southeast Missouri
farmers can raise"
Leslie told of one farmer near Nor
ley who cleared about $4,000 from his
melon crop in a 90-acre field. That
means profit of about $50 an acre.
"Where will you find better return
on farming investment. That land
could sell at $500 an acre and make
money, at that rate The watermelons,
however, have been a mainstay for
many farmers down there. They have
had decent watermelon crops when
other things have failed"
Mr.. Leslie was accompanied on his
trip to the Cape by his wife.
Both commented on the excellence
of the service that the new Frisco
train affords to everyone in Southeast
Missouri to come to the Cape on bust
ness missions.
at does seem necessary now,
though" he remarked, 'for the Cape
trade winners to get busy on that Rock
Levee road. To put that into good
shape would mean additional automo-
bile trade that would come in the
Cape and for the farmers themselves
it would be an economic improvement
entirely worth while.
tTo come right down to cases, what
is the size of load of wheat that a
farmer can haul over that road right
now, in the condition that it is in?
al dare say, men who are careful
with their teams, won't load more than
Is sacks of wheat on their wagons to
make span Of mules or team OF
horses haul it ten miles to an elevator
at costs roughly $3 a day for d
team.
Contrast that with a proposition
possible with hard smooth pikeway
into the city, A farmer could load al
the sacks of wheat into his wagon he
could throw on. He could get 80 or
easy and the same team could pull
it without the same effort, the same
wear and tear on the equimpment that
the other 1S-sack load would require
"That looks like money for tho
farmer in the shape of good roads"
