P. P. |. MEETING

| 6b uus6 ssss0
A meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the Patriotic Produc-
ton League was held at Estan-
cia on Saturday. July 28th. Mat
ters of Importance to the farmers
of Torrance county held the floor;
more in particular the subject of
the disposal of this years bean
crop
After a thorough review Of
the possibility of the erection of
cooperative elevators in various
parts of the county, it was unani-
mously decided that in 80 far as
the League was concerned, this
work could not be undertaken
this year. Lack of finances and
the short time before bean har-
vest prohibits the consideration
of any building plan at present.
However, an important step was
taken in the progress of the bean
industry. The board has made
arrangements for the extension
of bean quotations over all the
county, in order that individual
farmers may at any time know
what their produce is worth.
This arrangement is possible
through the cooperation of the
Federal Government, the State
Council of Defense and the State
Agricultural College. 1t tappears
evident that market quotations
will be forthcoming from these
sources, which will enable indi-
viduals to know what they can
realize from their product, and
sell accordingly. This service
will be carried on through local
organization, as we'll as being
posted in the principal market
centers.
Another feature Of Importance
was the arrangement for the
early purchase of bean bags, in
order that farmers might bene-
fit by present low prices. Cir
culars have been gotten out to
the various merchants of the
county, giving them the benefit
of quotations which were re-
ceived by the secretary and urg-
ing them to cooperate with the
farmers to the extent of supply
ing these bags at a minimum
cost to the producer. Five re-
plies have 80 far been received,
indicating that these merchants
will sell at net cost, providing
orders are placed in advance,
and cash is forthcoming on ar
rival of sacks. If credit must be
extended it is understood that
these merchants will require in
terest on the investment. It is
hoped that more replies will be
received within the next few
days, indicating that other mer-
chants are willing to take the
same course. In any case, farm
ers in general should approach
the subject with their dealers,
and make arrangements as early
as possible. Sacks are rapidly
increasing in price, and delay is
calculated to mean a 25 to so per
cent increase over the present
quotations available.
The merchants are requested
to buy bags with the following
printing on them: NEW MEXI-
co PINTO BEANS, Torrance
County Product, net weight 100
lbs." If this course rs followed
out material advertising advan-
tages can easily be secured. The
additional cost of printing is of
no material consequence. ap.

have already enjoyed can be con.

ADVISES TO PURCHASE

PRINTING. SEE YOUR LO-

The resignation of Albert Alb
bott was received and accepted
with much regret on the part of
his co-workers. S. B. Oren was
elected to succeed Mr.. Abbott,
A certificate of incorporation
of the Patriotic Production
League was received from the
State Council of Defense.
Through the kindness of this or.
ganization we are now in posi-
tion to do business as a legiti.
mate enterprise for period of
fifty years
Arrangements for crop and
labor surveys were made and ap-
proved, and cooperation on the
part of local organizations and
individual farmers is strongly
urged, in order to make this
movement successful. We should
appreciate the benefits of a live
organization of our large pur-
poses of the organization. Tor
rance county can come to the
front in much less time through
cooperative efforts. and the
League as organized promises
benefit to all, and can in no way
harm any legitimate business
now existing within the county.
The support of farmers and bus
iness men is necessary to its con-
tinued success.

MISS CARRIE EL0URN0Y OF MONROE Wls
HEROINE IN TRAGIC HAPPENCS At
CHARENT0N SATURDAY
YOUNG LADY Who GAVE AID TO IMPERILLED IIEn
TENANT OF COMPANY &c" BY SWIMMING With HIM
TO SHALLOW WATER IS SUMMER STUDENT ATLSU

Because of broken telephone con
nections between this point and New
iberia some time has been necessary
to establish the identity of the brave
woman bather who gave assistance tt
Lieutenant Hardin of Company &C.
when he was forced to call for helI
because of an attack of cramp while
swimming in Grand Lake at Charen
ton last Saturday afternoon. Miss
Carrie Flournoy, a resident of Mon.
roe, La, but at present a student al
L. S. U. for the summer term is the
young lady who responded to the
lieutenants distress call and towed
him in safety to shallow water. This
happening occurred at the same time
and place that Sergeant Free Of
Company &C" met his death when he
tried to go to the aid of Lieutenant
Hardin. Heart failure was given by
Coroner Beverly Smith of Fra kiln
as the probable cause of Servant
Frees death.
Miss Carrie Flournoy has estab-
lished reputation for courage and
bravery by her act in aiding Lieuten-
ant Hardin which has been comment
ed upon by the hundreds who wit
messed the affair. The highest praist il
undoubtedly due her. Small in sta
tue and but 10 years Of age the
unhesitatingly struck out for the
imperilled officer. Never losing for
an instant his presence Of mind, the
young Lieutenant who was gripped
with a severe and painful cramp in
his right leg, acting upon the direc-
ton Of his fair and fearless rescuer,
placed his hand upon her shoulder
and was carried by a few firm
strokes to safety.
Miss Flournoy was spending the
day Ut the beautiful little Charenton
resort where she had gone with the
family Of her uncle, Mr.. Overton
Cade Of Cade, Louisiana. She had
been visiting her uncle's family for
several days but left the day after
the happenings ut Clarendon to take
up her studies ut the L. S. U. She
Is now boarding 1t the Anderson
Boarding House in Baton Rouge.

For a time the report had become
common that the rescuer of LSeu.

Cade, Louisiana. In a conversation
over the telephone with a Review re-
porter today, Miss Farah Cadc sta-
ted emphatically that it was not her
but Miss Carrie Flournoy who had
rendered the timely aid. Miss Cade
stated that she was personally ae-
quainted with Miss Flournoy. Ind

Record Of Test
Cost Of Test

The Hudson Super-Six, which on Thurs
day morning started its endurance run,
was stopped at 6 o'clock Saturday eve
ming at the Capitol Driving park, Au-
gusta by Mayor Willis E. Swift pressing
the button, after a wonderful exhibition,
although not SO long a run as was plan
ned, owing to an accident, the muffiler
cover having been blown off, rendering
it impossible for the car to be legally run
over the highways and streets, owing to
the excessive noise. The accident hap
pened at 1916 Saturday noon while on a
return trip from Watervile; SO that per-
mission was secured and the trip finished
at Capitol park, where the last "a miles
were run, in the presence of an inter-
ested crowd and Perley NJ Lawrence at
the wheel.
Very unusual conditions were encoun-
tered on this trip, as the first day was
filed with rain, heavy mud and at night
a heavy fog. The roads on the second
day were very rough, due to the previous
days rain, and the travelling was not OF
the usual comfortable kind 1t was not
until Saturday that the road conditions
reached their average condition, and In
the center of the day the muller had to
go wrong and upset the schedule.
Many passengers enjoyed the trips to
and from Waterville, in spite Of the storm
and the car was carrying from two to
six people all of the time. The drivers
were three in number, Perley NJ. Law
renee, John S. Wadleigh and Walter G.
Nichols all Of Augusta. The car is one
that has seen considerable use, before
this test, having been run over 1900 miles
by its former owner. The tires are the
Goodyear Cords and their condition
sneaks for themselves. No object in any
window on Water street was more no.
ticed during Saturday evening and Sun
day than tie Hudson Super-SiX that had
accomplished this feat.
The last of the run at Capitol park
was an interesting event. The track had
not been used for ages and was as rough
as any old road, but the continued cir
cling soon wore away some Of the bubbles
and ridges and the last q miles, which
Kennebec Journal man enjoyed, was as
smooth and easy as riding on a floor.
The stretches were hardly long enough
- get up real speed anu diSo that was
not attempted, but the speedometer
would show 80 to 81 miles and . to Is on
the turns, so that the distance was quick
~ run off.
Mayor Swift was taken on when but
half a mile was necessary to complete
the 1000 miles and he rode the last lap.
The car finished the 1000 miles about OPP
posite the old judges stand on the back
side" and was brought to the final stop
at the upper end Of the home stretch,
where Photographer Herman Mansur
took several pictures Of the car and par
ty and, the engine having been kept run
ming from. the finish at SIS until sol. May
or Swift then shut of the power by push
Ing the button.
Mr.. Lawrence and hts drivers feel very
