ROAD LOsT HIM MONEY

George M. Meyers, w~ell-known
Democrat Of Cedar City, who was in
Fulton Saturday to attend the meet
ing Of the county central committee
called at the office Of County Survey
or W. P. Divers and recited to him
how the island road, west of Cedar
City and running along the farm OF
Mr.. Never, had cost him s240 already
because he has been unable to move
his wheat crop to the market. Mr..
Meyer was anxious to sell his cerial
when cash wheat was being quoted
at $1.4O a bushel. but the road was in
such condition that he could not haul
heavy wagons over it.
Since then the wheat has taken Q
slump and may go down much before
the road gets in condition for heavy
traffic. The only hope for Mr.. Meyer
has is that some condition may arise
to send the wheat up again, but witt
spring coming on, when there is usu.
ally a slump, makes his prospects
seem glum.
Mr.. Meyer is q good roads man anC
has been working on a plan for rock
ing the island road for two years ant
has been comforting with other lant
owners in that section, but SO far, HI
says he has been unable to get an,
support. Mr.. Meyer says he will re
double his efforts this spring an
hopes to carry the project through
His experience this winter, he say
has again demonstrated that farmer
win profit by having roads on whicl
they can market their products an.
time during the year and not during
a few stated periods.

rIRE MYSTERY AZ FULTON

Fulton, Mo-, March liza series Of
mysterious fires at the home Of CLAIR
ence Renee, south of this city, are be-
ing investigated today by Sheriff Shell
eli and deputies from his office.
Since Tuesday night four fires at the
Renoe farm on as many successive
nights have destroyed outhouses, pig
pens and straw stacks. No clew was
found that would lead to the origin Of
the fires. The Ease is similar to the
one on the D. C. o'Neal farm, near
here two years ago, which was
solved, and where the fires ceased as
mysteriously as they had begun.
