In Keeping Highways Fit by Doing

Macon, Mo.-Macon county il full of
patriotic citizens these days WHO carry
hoes TO do emergency work on the
roads. The hoe, and sometimes a
shovel also, is carried behind the motor
car, and whenever the public spirited
citizen runs into a mudhole or a
place which he thinks he can improve

Farmers used to smile when the
town men talked about working on the
roads, but since they have shown so
much interest In the matter the farm
ers welcome them In the all important
road work. OF course one man and
one hoe can't do any great amount of
work, but the man can start on the
job, and IL he finds 1t too big to tackle
he can give the emergency signal with
his motorcar horn, and there are plenty
OF farmers who will respond to his call

FANCY PRICE
LOCAL APPLES

That it pays to grow the best
fruit and to carefully prepare it for
the market has been fully demon
strated in the returns which H. w.
Terrence, H. o. Campbell, Sidney
Swartwood, N. r. Selover, and Tony
Brown recently received for the car
load of apples which they sold in the
New York market through the SpN-
kane Fruit Growers association. The
receipts for the single carload were
1920. The best grades of Delicious
and Spitzenberg apples sold for 1925
and $3.50 per box. The finest yell
low Newtons, Black Bens and Rome
Beauties sold for $1.65 and S1.75
per box and the other varieties for
from 81 up to s1.55 per box.

In letter from j. G. Garden, the
auditor of the Spokane Fruit Growers
Co., to Mr. Terrence, he says: "You
are doubtless aware that New York
City is the most discriminating mar
ket in the United States on apples
The fact that Mr.. Blot, our sales
manager, sent this car to that point
shows conclusively that the fruit
must have been of high quality and
put up in extra good shape to have
brought the price that it did.
at also shows that New York
does not care for certain varieties
but there was no other way to han
die that matter as the net proceeds
would doubtless have been less had
the car been shipped to some point
in the middle west-for instance to
Chicago, where the better varieties
of apples are not appreciated. If
your people up there can grow as
good Delicious, Spitz, Romes and
Newtons and will pack them with
the same care that this car was
packed, there is no question but that
we can market them for you at ex-
cellent prices and the larger the
quantity the better the price will
that market.
Mr.. Terrence, Mr.. Campbell, Mr.
Selover, Mr. Brown and many other
prominent fruit growers are very
anxious to interest all the fruit grow
ers of this district IN the advantages
of organizing for the purpose of
raising better fruit and getting bet
ter prices. 1t is estimated that the
district will produce IN the neighbor-
hood of 10000 boxes of apples next
seaon and if this crop is given pro-
per care and an opportunity given
to place it on the best markets a
handsome profit will be derived for
the orchardists. These men are anx-
ious to form a branch here of the
Spokane Fruit Growers association
realizing that in so doing they are
availing themselves of a chance al
the best markets and sure returns
P. R. Parks, the manager of the
Spokane Fruit Growers association
has expressed to Mr.. Terrence his
willingness to help out the project
here whenever the local fruit grew.

Committee in Charge of Road Work in Cactus Park Decides It Is Too Wet and Selects February 14th as the Proper Day

The big road building bee sched- uled to have taken place today, has been postponed on account of the ili- element weather. The committee in charge took into account the average mans aversion to wading around in the mud and WiSely called a halt on their plans. It was decided to have the same plans and take effect on Mon day, February the fourteenth.
 Although all hope was given up early yesterday of getting out on the road today, the committee was busy in per fecting plans for the new date. They called on Governor Hunt, and request ed him to issue a proclamation declar- ing February the 14th, a gcod roads day for the entire state of Arizona. The governor was very much pleased with the plan and stated that he would lend his influence to the project and issue the proclamation.
 The committee in charge elected County Engineer Caruthers a perman- ent member of their body. and request ed that he be present at every meeting.
 The committee will be particularly active from now until the date set for the work. and request that all sub scriptiOns to the fund, be sent in to the finance committee care of the chamber of commerce.

The Ancona listed about | ten degrees to starboard after this | shot.
 "Thereupou an effort was made tJ l low CT the lifeboat which already was half turned out on the davit. It | broke loo SC. however. and fell into the water. The lifehoat floated keel down ard the people held fast to the gun vale.
 of the other boats none was low cred into the water, although persons could still be observed aboard. The steamer gradually riShted itself tc an even keel and settled so slowly that
 the submarine commander at first doubted whether the steamer would
 sink Not until 1 30 o'clock did it sink,
 after a lengthy parallel settling with
 the bow first.
 During hose further fa minutes, all
 persons yet aboard could have been saved without difficulty w.tE ,he boats
 still on hand.
 Prom the fHct that this. contrary tu his expectations. was not done. the
 commander concluded that tho
 crew. contrary to all seamen's customs
 had accomplished their own rescue with the first boats and abandoned tu
 themselves the passengers entrusted to their protection.
 The weather at this time of the in-
 cidcnt was good and the sea calm. so
 that the life boats could have reached the nearest coast without danger as indeed the Iifeboats actually were damaged only by the unskilIed lower
 ing but not after they had struck the water.

 AS appears rom the above ddducCd ] state of affairs. the very esteemed | note of December 9 is based in many i points on incorrect premises. Infor i nation reaching the United States gov | ernment that solid shot was immediate ly fired toward the steamer is incor- | rect; 1t is incorrect that tFe sub marine | pverhauleG the s;eane. during the chase; it is incorrect that only a brief . period was given for getting the peop- | le into the boats.
 On the contrary. an unusually long period was granted to the Ancona for getting passengers in the boats.
 Finally, it is incorrect that a num- Der of shells were still fired at the f steamer after it had stopped.
 The facts of the case demonstrate further that the commander of the submarine granted the steamer a full T i5 minutes time, that is more than an h adequate period, to give the persons : lboard an opportunity to take to the ; )oats Then, as the people were not III saved. he carried out the torpedoing , n such a manner that the ship could
