GROWERS AGENCY AC-
CEPTS AMENDMENTS

A. W. Stone, who was present at the
Saturday meeting of the board Of trus-
tees of the Fruit Growers Agency and
who returned Monday morning from
Spokane, states that the amendments
to the bylaws and constitution of the
central organization. as proposed by
the local organization, were adopted
with the exception of some minor re-
visions.
MIR. Stone states that a meeting of
the board of directors of the Associa-
tion will probably be held this week to
consider the action of the central agen-
cy. A meeting of the growers of the
Association will probably be called.
From present indications. the affiliation
of the local sales agency seems practi-
cally assured, and the meetings to be
called will be merely matter of form.

to know at every step of his action

he does is motive which no American

rived in Mexico City two weeks ago he
found that a decree had been issued
declaring the currency void. That was
blow, but he shortly discovered a
situation which affected him more
than that in regard to the money

at Guadalajara, $50 miles west OF

of the bandit country and he witnessed
some atrocious murders. 1t is city OF

town periodically. In the same hote

Flees From Bandits.
While experimenting the assemb.
ling of a machine 10 miles west OF
Guadalajara, he was forced severa
times to flee to cover when bandits
visited the ranch. 1t was only due
perhaps to the fact that he was late ir
arriving at little town nearby that
his life was not taken on his return
trip. The wagon train which he haC
contemplated taking back to Quad

all of its occupants killed. He misse5

bandits. At Ell RADIO his trunk was
stolen after it had been inspected.
II don't think l shall go back Mr.
Jones said. The situation is fierce
Americans do not realize it. Little
news of what happens is circulated il

Mrs. Jones stated that the greater
part of the news Mr.. Jones received
while in Mexico came from clipping;
from American papers she sent to hin
while he was in Mexico. -
For the past two years Mrs. Jones
has lived in Chicago, but she and he
