Peach orchards, since time imme-
mortal, have been an attraction
which few small boys could resist.
John Pershing was no exception.
JOHNNY with several OF his gang" was
walking on the outskirts of the town
one Sunday morning and stopped
to rest near the home of Farmer
Margrave. Now in all Laclede there
was no finer peach orchard than
Farmer Margrave's and never be-
fore or since, if one believes the
story, did the peaches appear more
alluring than on this particular Sum
day. Ripe, luscious looking, they
were an attraction that John and
the boys with him could not over
look.
A few words were passed and John

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Official
price lists for sale Of surplus army
food to the American people through
the parcel post system, which begins
Monday, August 18, are being print
ed for distribution to local postmas-
ters throughout the country, for their
information and instruction in carry
ing out the plan; and they will be
mailed Monday next, giving an en-
tire week for them to reach the re-
motest corners of the country.
Under the plans for sales, which
was pointed out by the President in
his message read before Congress
yesterday, as one of the immediate
measures being taken to lower the
cost of living, consumers may pace
orders with their local postmaster,
through letter carriers. All orders
received will be- forwarded to the
nearest distribution depot, and there
the order will be filled, the goods
made up for parcel post transporta-
ton, direct to the consumers sending
them carrying the charges for food
as well as for parcel post transporta-
ton. The charges must be paid when
the order is placed and they must in
clude the cost of the commodities,
with the parcel post charges as well;
so that when the order is dispatched
from the distributing depot, the
transaction will be closed entirely.
Some of the prices quoted are
listed herewith:
Two and seven-tenths pounds of
canned corned beef, 55 cents; seven
pound cans of corned beef, $1.3O;
One pound and a quarter cans of
roast beef, 20 cents; one pound and
a quarter of corned beef hash, 22
cents; one pound and a quarter OF
baked beans five cents; two pounds
stringed beans, none cents; two and
one-quarter pounds of corn, 10 cents;
Goldfish, 46 pounds $6.82; tomatoes,
three pounds cans, 10 cents each.

MAIL
DECIDED
SUCCESS
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. An
order has been issued by the POST
master General fixing the postage
rate on mail carried by aeroplanes
at two cents an ounce, which is the
regular postage rate for frst-class
matter. This places the air mail
service on the same footing with all
other classes of transportation of
mail
Experiments devoted to the adapta-
ton of the aeroplane to the needs Of
the regular daily mail service have
demonstrated possibilities for in
creased efficiency for mail trans
portation far beyond the Depart
ment's early expectations. By the
use of the Liberty engine and the
availability of larger planes salvaged
from war STOCK since the signing OF
the armistice, mail can be carried
in greater quantities and greater
speed can be attained. For instance
approximately ten thousand letters a
day for Pacific Coast points are now
being advanced twenty-four hours
daily to their points of destination
Arrangeents are now being made to
place on the New York Washington
route the three fastest planes in tie
air mail service, each having a capa-
city of $4,000 letters and a maximum
speed of 1872 miles an hour.

SUSPICIOUS
PROCEDURE
LEADS TO
ARREST
Two Germans Take Taxi
To Go Is Miles For A
Train Leaving Nogales
One Hour Later.

There anguish in the county Jail
two Germans, held for investigation,
who find themselves in durance on
account of the suspicion they drew
by their peculiar performances. Their
names are George Engelhardt and
Fermaz Heider.
A couple of days ago they engeged
one of the public taxicabs in No
gales, Arizona, to take them to Soto's
Crossing, beyond Tubac, and get
them to that point in time to flag
the train from Nogales, due to leave
the station here in about an hour.
That very suspicious circumstance
was reported to the Sheriff's office;
and Deputy Sheriff George White set
out after them in the sheriff's auto.
Some miles out of town Mr.. White
experienced a punctured tire, which
put the machine out of commission.
Fortunately another machine came
along, and the doughty deputy en-
gagged the driver to take him to
Soto's Crossing.
Considerable time had been lost
so the deputy urged the chauffer to
hasten right up to the legal speed
limit; and the officer reached the
Crossing just ahead of the train, tax
ing the Germans into custody, re-
turning them to town, and lodging
them in Jail. The arrest was report
ed to federal authorities, who order
ed the men held for investigation,
which they are now awaiting.
When searched there was found
upon the two number of letters and
what seem official documents, writ
ten in German. Those, taken with
the method of going twenty-five
miles to board train, when in an
hour they could have taken it here in
Nogales, gave rise to the order to
hold them for investigation.

MANY REASONS FOR GARDEN
Duty OF Every Town DWeIier to Help
Out Farmer in His Task OF Feed
inc the World.

Food production to the uttermost is
just as grim a necessity this year as
IL was last. Then we needed food to
feed soldiers. Nowswe need food
to supply a world moSt3Of which has
not had all it wanted to eat for three
years. Now, as then, the farmer can
not carry the burden alone. he must
have every help that the city, subur-
ban and village dweller canzgive. Make
a garden for the worlds sake.
Vegetables and fruits raised In. n
home garden have a favor that never
Is found in products carted. around the
country, or displayed in hot -showswin-
doWs. Make a garden for yourepalatess
sake. IL &E&
Gardening Is the finest exercise with
in reach Of a moderate purse and
about the only n which will ypayyyeu
fair wages for keeping yourself well.
Make a garden for your healthss sake.
Gardening is one of the NEST inter
eSting and educational of activities, es-
pecially if you make room for fewers
as well as vegetables. 1t brings hack
some of the old world lore which a
too citifed life loses. Make a garden
for your minds sake.
The day Is coming when garden cit
les will be the rule, but you do not
need to wait for slow social develop
ments. There are very few districts
in which one cannot make a start at
a garden city now. Try 1t.

CIVIC BEAUTY GREAT ASSET
Always, In Building Community, That
Fact, Commercially Sound, Must
Be Kept in Mind. -

The farmer regards it as most thor
oughly businesslike to improve his
land and buildings, discovering en-
HANGED values and increased produc-
ton in the possession of adjuncts that
make for simplified operation. A cOm-
modious, well-painted house with some

about it is instantly of more value than
q tumbledown house with no beauty
about it, although both houses may be

Formal Garden Attractive.

John Evelyn has left plenty Of de-
scr4ptions in his dairy Of the great
gardens he saw on the continent, as
well as in England, In addition to his
writings which deal directly with the
subject.
1t is much open to question whether
the transition from formal gardening
to landscape gardening was such a
step in advance as was thought at the
time. The formal garden, with its
clipped hedges, it's pleached alleys, its
ponds and it's carefully planned flower
beds, was a pleasant development of
the gardeners art, and one which,
after suffering a temporary eclipse.
seems to be coming to it's own once
more.
