Peach crop Information.

So many have asked us about the
prospect for peaches for canning that
we give our customers the reports as
we have them.
Southern peaches are light crop
and not as good as usual, and will not
count in the supply.
California Is covered with canning
establishments and will use it's crop
largely at home.
Michigan and Ohio have only Is tu
20 per cent of a crop and will not
count in supplying Iowa with peaches
Utah and Colorado have normal
liberia crop. The quality will be ex-
cellent. Will be packed mostly in
bushel baskets and be available from
Sept. 1 to 20.
The bulk of peaches for canning
purposes will come from these states

In the next place immortality would
break up the show; it would wreck the

BOUTWELL, In JAIL

the bond fixed at $500 but Commits
sionef Campbell declined to lower it
When Boutwell, was arrested the
first time, June 16, the government OBJ
tanned copies of the circular he was
charged with distributing among the
soldiers. The circular contained an
article from Jack London painting
the soldier as the lowest order of man
kind. 1t contained other matter al
legged to be injurious to the service
1t was the day previous to the alleged
distribution that the new law went
into effect Apparently the new law
covers BoutwelPs alleged offense pre-
cisely. Fred Robertson cites only one
section of it in his communications
regarding the Boutwell, case and that
section reads:
'Whoever. when the United States is at
war shall wilfully make or convey false
reports or false statements with intent
to interfere with the operation success
of military or naval forces of the United
States or to promote the success of its
enemies, and whoever when the United
States is at war shall wilfully cause or
attempt to cause characterization, diSloyaI-
ty, mutiny or refusal of duty in the mill
tary or naval forces of the United States
or shall wilfully obstruct the recruiting
| to the injury of the service of the United
| States shall be punished by a fine of not
more than $4,000 or Imprisonment for not
more than twenty years, or both such fine
| and imprisonment"
| Boutwell, is a middle-aged man and
unmarried. He has been employed as
a railroad man and recently had done
| some farm work. At the time he was
arrested he was out of work 1t was
stated at the United States marshals

French Front, July 7.-Grenades
thrown with wonderful precision by
devotees of "pelota." the national
game of Cuba, of Spain and Of the
Basque country in the Southwest or
France have done much toward de-
feating the almost incessant counter

These men whose homes are in the

was they who took Craonne, the key
position of the eastern end of the
Chemin Des Danes, and it was they
who were in possession of the town

This retirement was but a tempo

PLAN ROAD ROUTE
Douglas Co. Benefit District
VIII Be Determined Tonight.
Lawrence Enthusiastic Over
Concrete Highway Prospects.

Lawrence. Kan, July THE bene-
fit district along the proposed concrete
highway thru Douglas county will be
definitely mapped out by the good
roads committee of the county in a
special meeting in the chamber OF
commerce roms tonight. This district
has been tentatively mapped out sew
eral times but each map varies in GER
tain sections making it necessary for
a definite route and district to be de-
cided upon.
The committee appointed to organ
ize the district has gone over the pro-
posed route and decided upon the To-
cation of the concrete road. The
problem of fixing boundaries for the
benefit district was then taken up and
will be definitely solved tonight. ON
this committee are thirteen prominent
men of the county: l.. Z. Wilson, ID.
patrick, George Hildenband, H. w.
Wulfkuhle, of Lecompton; H. G. Van
Nestle, George Bigsby, Guy Bigsby, A.
A. Hicks, w. r. Stiner, Will Pine,
AL E. Smith, ]. R. Topping. County
Surveyor Lloyd Duffee will meet the
committee in outlining the district.
After the district is mapped out the
members of the committee will start
to work with petitions to secure the
cooperation and help of every man In
the district. Various meetings have
been held in the district so that the
farmers are we'll acquainted with the
movement which they are promoting
in the behalf of a concrete road.
County Treasurer 1. c. Stevenson is
preparing an itemized list of the cost
of the road to each landowner in the
district so that each farmer may know
exactly what the road will cost him
on a five or ten year basis before he
is asked to sign the petition.
Government aid will be given to this
road If the approval of the state high
Way commission is obtained. This
permission as well as that Of the
county commissioners was practically
assured before the district was out
lined and the state highway engineer,
W. S. Gearhart, has already approved
Of the road.
