|OIL PROSPECT AT
MEMPHIS Is SOLD
Wills-Lee Corporation of Marys-
vile EndeavOring To Buy
Gravel Pit And Oil

Things are commencing to move
in Memphis according to the Bee.
1t is reported that the Shanahan-
Johnson gravel pit which was pur-
chased for something like $4,000
a few months ago is wanted by the
Wills-Lee company of Marysville
and an offer of 100000 has been
made for the property, but was re-
fused bv the owners. A large
quantity of the fine gravel has
been sold to the company and will
be hauled with auto trucks. The
pit contains some of the best
building gravel in the state and
the oil prospects makes it very
valuable piece of property.
Reports also come from Port
Huron that the Almont branch of
the Pere Marquette railroad will
be made into an electric line be-
fore the wear 1920 is past.
A short time ago a Memphis
resident was talking with one of
the head men in the Marysville
boom who said there would be a
great chance to make Memphis a
fine residence town in the near
future. providing the citizens did
not get the "swell head" and put
prohibitive price on their prop
erty and in this manner kill a
progressive development. Con-
siderable property has changed
ownership in the past year. The
empty houses about town are get
ting filled up, and outsiders from
the cities are buying up the places
with small pieces of land on the
edge of the village for homes.
These things along with the pros
pective oil development makes
one believe that Memphis is about
to become one of the finest places
to live in the state.

To never say farewell.

Circuit Court Monday
Night

DR.. Lucius G.. Fitzgerald was
acquitted by a jury in the circuit
court on Monday night on a
charge of performing an illegal
operation on Mrs Georgiana
Brown. The arguments of the at
torneys for the prosecution and
defendant were completed during
the afternoon as we'll as Judge
K. +. Laws charge to the jury.
Supper was served to the jury
men and it was $3.50 p. m. before
a knock on the door of the jury

been reached. DR.. Fitzgerald and
his attorney, Thomas H. George,

ceive the verdict. DR.. Fitzgerald

SUGAR SHOULD
COST SIX CENTS
Less Per POUND
Beet Growers of Michigan Ask
Manufacturers rOr Agreement
Farmers Lose This Year

The Beet Growers Association
held one of the most important
meetings in the history of its eX-
istence yesterday at Capac. The
principal object of the session
was to hear and act upon the re-
port of John Sheppard regarding
the meeting of the state commit
tee of growers of which he is a
member.
The meeting was held in Owosso
last Saturday, and Mr.. Shepherd
not only represented the growers
of st. Clair county, but was chos-
en- by the Michigan Farm bureau
to act for the state organization
as well.
The report showed that the
committee had given the matter
most exhaustive study, and found
that the present amount of sugar
the amount in the average ton OF
beets would bring the manufac-
turer $31.08, which, according to
the companies own figures, show
ed a net profit to the manufac-
turer of $13.85 on every ton OF
beets after deducting $12.40 paid
the farmer and the manufacture
ing cost of $4.83.
Carefully compiled figures from
all important beet growing sec
tions of the state show that the
cost of growing an acre Of beets
is $4,000 which is $12.40 per ton
the figure the farmer will prob
ably realize this year, will result
in a loss to the grower of 6Oc per
ton.
The committees data also show
ed the total tonnage of beets in
Michigan for 1919 to be 1,147,00
tons, which the growers commit
tee estimates will make the Mich
igan companies a net profit of
$15,855, 900.
Mr.. Shepherd stated that the
state committee of growers had
repeatedly requested the manu-
facturers to meet with them to
discuss the terms of next years
contract, but, up-to-date, the SUI
gar interests have not seen fit to
meet with them.
County Agent c. l.. Brody made
a number of suggestions for
strengthening the growers organ
ization, and A. j. Smith, presi-
dent of the st. Clair County Farm
bureau and also of the beet grow
ers' association, together with
other local men, discussed the
matter at considerable length.
The state committee is recon-
mending a minimum price of $12
per ton to the farmer on the bas-
is of &c sugar. The growers, al
most to a man, are waiting before
contracting to grow next years
crop until the manufacturers
meet with their committee and
come to some sort of an agreement
regarding the terms of the con.
tract.

CAN'T BUY REVOLVER
WITHOUT PERMISSION

Authorities in many of the cit
les of Michigan in an effort to
prevent crime, are calling atten-
tion to the new state law which
makes it necessary for a person
purchasing a pistol or revolver
to first obtain permission of either
the chief of police or the sheriff.
The law but recently became ef-
fective.
The officers from whom the per-
nit is secured must be satisfied
that the intentions of the would
be purchaser are not criminal.
The salesman must note on. the
permit a detailed description of
the weapon sold, as we'll as the age
occupation and address of the
purchaser. The permit then is fill
ed with the authorities for perma-
nent record.

COUNTY TO HAVE
A PARK ON LAKE
County Buys Eighteen Acres Of
Land On Shore of
Lake

The people of st. Clair County
will have a beautiful new park
on the shores of Lake Huron for
play ground this summer, thanks
to the action of the board of SUI
pervisors and the efforts of w. S.
Wilton, member from Burtchville.
The park includes 18 acres of the
most desirable lands in the north
ern part of the county and has a
frontage on the lake of 160 feet.
"The park hasn't been named
yet" said Supervisor Wilton re-
Gently, although the name "Ced-
arwood" has been suggested as
there are many fine cedar trees on
the property. The county paid
$4,000 for the park, and of this
amount the supervisors voted
$4,000 from the county fund.
Burtchville township then sub
scribed $500 and Grant township
the same amount.
1.-The matter of improvements
for the park is one that is inn
portant. l think the city of Port
Huron has subscribed the sum of
$3.50 for improvements and $100 of
this has been paid in. 1t is neces-
sary for the board of supervisors
to set aside a yearly amount for
the upkeep of the park. This the
board has a right to do and may
vote the sum of $1,000 a year
for taking care of the land"
