s30,0O0 IN FRUIT
 CANNED BY GIRLS
Canning Club Girls Are Doing . Big Work-2, 500 New Members
 Wanted.

Tt is estimated that s30,O00 worth of fruit was put up by the canning club girls of the state last summer A large quantity of these products are for sale and the Federated Clubs of the state are helping the girls sell says Miss Emma Archer, with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. 8. Department of Agriculture. Canned goods are assembled in the coun- ty seat towns and through the Federated Clubs are sold to mer. chants or individuals desiring these home products. Merchants buy at wholesale; consequently, they are In favor of the canning club work b. cause the home products retail much more quickly than foreign canned goods. The canned goods offered for sale are tomatoes. beans, peaches, and anything else the girls may have on hand, including jellies and preserves. Nearly all the vegetables are canned in tins; however, great quantity has been put up in glass this year for special trade Miss Archer says fur ther, "A great number of people throughout the state are becoming en- thusiastic over the kind of products which these girls are able to deliver They are asking for more fancy con- tainers and fruit is being put up in attractive packages, thus commanding higher prices than products turned out by commercial firms"
 2611 Canning Club Girls.
 At the present time there are 2,611 girls in Arkansas who belong to the canning clubs of the state. These girls are all in the work for the prime pur- pose of making money. and a great many of them arc doing much better than those in charge ever dreamed it would ever be possible for them to do.
 Miss Lena Baltz of Randolph county reports total sale of t22S worth of vegetables and canned goods: while much interest is still being manifested in the work of Miss Willie Hurley of Jackson county, who last year won a scholarship to the Asri- cultural School at Jonesb boro, and holds record of producing S.1S5 pounds of tomatoes on one-tenth of an acre from which she put up 1000 No cans.
 High Prices Cause No Fear.
 In addition to the canning club members. 1,525 women of the state

COLBYS VICTORY
MOST PLEASING

The win Of the Colby baseball team
from Bates Saturday was particularly
pleasing to supporters Of the team as
it produced another pitcher who made
his mark in college baseball. Fahey,
who >Nirled the entire game for the
Colby boys, is a freshman. He has al
ways shown lot Of stuff, but SEEM
ed to have trouble in controlling it..
He had everything at Lewiston and
was able to keep the Bates batters in
check all through the contest. Fahey is
a tall, rangy lad, who has the build
to be first class twirler and under
the careful coaching he will get in
college should develop into one OF the
best. The Colby team leaves this week
for trip through Massachusetts. Just
what will be done about pitching is
somewhat of question. 1t was
thought that with Klain and Fahey
everything would be all right but
klain's brother, member of the Ma
tional Guard, was killed Saturday at
Biddeford and it is doubtful If he will
make the trip. In case he does not 1t
is doubtful who will be taken as the
second pitcher but it is probable that
someone will be found to fill the gap.

FINE CATCHES
NEARBY PONDS

The records Of fine catches OF fish in tho
nearby ponds are sending many Of the
lovers. of fishing to these ponds for /
days sport. The Salmon Lake House on
Great pond is one of the favorite places
for local men and the guides there are
kept busy all the time and practically
everyone from this city who has made a
visit there has bought home one or more
fine trout The fishing is now at it's best
and with good weather some great catch
es will doubtless be reported. On Snow
pond the fun is just starting and as yet
there have been no reports Of good catch
there. although they can be looked
for any day now. 1t promises to be one
of the best fishing seasons enjoyed in this
section for a long time. The bass are
also commencing to rise to the fly some
and in a short time doubtless there will
be some fine fly fishing for the ones who
like this sport.

OAKLAND ROAD
ITO Be BUILT

Notice was received in the city Mon
day that the road between this city and
Oakland would be built this summer in
spite of the reports that have gone out
that there would be no road building.
The Office of the State Highway Com
mission also announced that the con-
tract for the Waterville end of the road
had been let to James H. Kerr Of Rum
ford and that 1t would be built of grav-
Ell. while the Oakland end. has been let
to Small &, ingalls, of Bar Harbor and
will be built of bituminous macadam.
The work on these two sections OF road
will be started within a week and 1t is
the plan of the commission to rush it
to completion. Mr.. Kerr is understood
to have made arrangements to take the
gravel from the Pooler pit at the foot
of Silver street and he will be in a po-
sition to go TO work just as soon as he
can secure the necessary men. This
road has been in the worst possible
condition all the summer but as it was
known that the State contemplated re-
building II. it was thought advisable
not to spend any money on 1t by the
city. as it would be practically wasted.
so it was kept passable and no attempt
was made to fix it up. The road will
probably be closed now for the greater
part of the summer. Two detours are
possible in going to Oakland the first
and nearest being out Western avenue,
and over Rice's Crossing and to Oak
land that way. The dangerous railroad
crossing at Rice's is guarded now by an
automatic gong and SO is reasonably
safe. The second is to go down the
river road toward Sidney to the first
right hand road and follow that; then
take the first right hand fork at its end,
and it is q direct road into Oakland.
This road will be the one. followed by
the members of the Country Club in go
ing to the club with their cars as it is
in good condition. having been thor
oughly repaired last year. and although
not fitted to bear heavy travel, If taken
reasonable care of will handle the traf-
fic all right for the summer. The Wa
terville and Oakland people will be will
ing to put up with considerable incon-
venience in order to have this stretch
of road fixed. 1t has always been bad.
one member of the staff of the State
Highway Commission characterizing it
as the worst piece of road in Maine.
