PEACHES To Be SHY

Commission men here have been in

crop will not be as extensive as at
first thought and it is predicted that
they will be off the market locally
within the next ten days.
Heavy shipments of the peaches to
the eastern market just at present is
aiding to large extent. in cleaning
up the peach crop quickly.
A local commission man this morn

peaches would get no lower than at
present and. there was also chance
that it would get higher within the
week. He suggested that housewives
should put up their peaches now.

Mr.. Morrison tells an interesting
story of the Colorado Hotel at Glen

year ago the manager of that hotel
seriously considered closing the hotel
after the state went dry. 1t was gen.

had a more prosperous year. The
hotel cannot accommodate all the
people who come. and the manage
ment has had to turn away about
2200 people already this season.
1t has always been thought that a
bar was the most profitable end of the
hotel. The bar at the Colorado has
been turned into an attractive soft
drink parlor, which is very popular
and the hotel management asserts
that he is making more money from
the dry drinks parlor than he ever did
from the bar.
Mr.. Morrison says that everywhere
he goes he finds the people of Colo

suits of prohibition-and that in his
opinion the state will never go wet
