WOULD BUILD WAREHOUSES

w. H. Ruby was in Flagstaff Mon- day from his ranch in Pittman Valley. He still has considerable hay and p0- tatoes unsold from last years crop as he was unable to reach the railroad this winter on account of the condition of the roads. He says the lack of warehouse facilities at the railroad where crops could be stored until sold has cost him in the neighborhood of $3,000 this year. MT. Ruby believes that the wisest scheme possible for the farmers in this county would be a string of warehouses from Flagstaff to Williams where crops could be stored, that it means the saving of thousands of dollars each year, aside from the advantage of being able to properly grade their potatoes before shipment. Flagstaff potatoes, while having the best reputation of any on the market, get many black marks among southern merchants because they are not properly handled.

BRIDGE COMPLETE IN 60 DAYS

Sixty days will see the bridge across the Verde river at Thompson's cross ing completed, according to Charles Burrus, who is in Jerome.
 Burrus owns a farm on the west bank of the river at the crossing and has acted as good Samaritan to hun dreds of motorists who got stuck in the Verde. Many and many a night he has been routed out of bed at 2 a. m. by traveller who either found the stream too high for his car or missed the ford and got off into deep water. No one will welcome the completion of the bridge more than Burrus.
 The Topeka Bridge company has the contract for building the Thompson crossing bridge. A fair start had been made last fall when the November flood carried away concrete forms and destroyed a great deal of ot1r work. Throughout the winter little Was done, but recently the company put a real force to work and is now straining every effort to carry out the contract before the high water of summer.

WANT DRY NAME

On the ground that their family name is suggestive of intoxicating liquor, which they declare is annoying and not consistent with their personal tastes, Frank E.. Goodrum, his wife, Imogene, and two children, Harold L., aged six years, and Marjorie, three years old, petitioned in the Norfolk probate court that their name be changed to Goodwin. MT. and Mrs. Goodrum state they desire the change because the name Goodrum is dis tasteful and humiliating to them in their business and social relations.

INCREASED COTTON ACREAGE

YUMA-According to E. N. Ma Guire, of the Somerton Cotton com pany, who was in Yuma to attend the meeting of the Yuma Valley County club, there will be an increased acre age of cotton in the Yuma valley for the year 1920. MT. Mcclure, from his observation, estimates approximately 5000 acres of long staple and from 16,OOO to 1S,00O acres of the shorter variety. In comparison to the year 1919 this represents material in. crease over the previous year. And according to MT. MaGuire, there will not only be increase in acreage, but also an increase in quality and quan- tity. This increase in quality and quantity, according to MT. MaGuire, will be caused by the fact of an early planting and a superior seed.

aaet with the Chamber OF Commerce
OF Camden last evening to consult
about Rafting Creek Township gojns
to Kershaw county. Addresses were
made by Judge 1l.. l.. Smith, Hon. I. J
Kirkland ard a1r E. E. Rembert and
others.
Judge Smith extended a most elo-
oaents invitation to come. Mr. Kirk
tand showed how to come legally. Pc
titons, as drawn by Judge Smith anG
NJ. Kirkland, Were signed at once by
ninety per cent OF the voters Of Raft
i1g Creek, and the Chamber Of Com
1lecce guaranteed all expenses paid.
The cause OF this movement is the
belief, judging by the. past, that we
wort get any benefits Of the bond is
sue in our. section. The roads through
here are bad and we have never got
our rights IN fixing. them: Only 9 lit
tie work now and then.
Camden people turned out in num-
hers and gave US a most hearty greet
ing A nice lunch was served. So il
looks as if we are going to say Good
