just about the time Billy Edwards

Billy seemed to expect to meet her,
though it is certain she never let him
know that she was waiting. And so
the summer passed.

they were returning from a trip to

Carburat0r That
Is Real Gas Saver

W. J. and o, J. Preston, father and
son, respectively, Of near Mcbride,
Perry county, passed through Farm
ington the last of the week enroute
to Bonne Terre with an auto load of
honey for customers at that point.
On their return they called at The
Times office and report on the great
success they had found new carbu-
rator, just installed on their car, to
be. Through its use they stated that
they had made the trip from their
home to Bonne Terre and this far
back on the return trip, distance of
something like 125 miles, on three
gallons of gas.
1t does not seem possible that such
mileage could be made on three gal
Ions of gas, but the Prestons de-
clared it to be fact. They give all
credit to the recently invented carbu-
rator, this being it's initial tryout for
them, and they were as surprised as
they were pleased with the result.
They did not even have the address of
the manufacturer, but promised to
send it to The Times. The brice of
the carburetor is $40.

An OPPORTUNITY to Convert
Liability Into An Asset

The Times editor accidentally came
into contact Sunday morning with Ar
thur E. Mullen. representing James
Stewart & Co., of st. Louis, one Of
the largest, if not the largest, con-
tracing firm in the United States.
When the writer entered the st,
Francois hotel office Mr.. Mullen was
in conference with Mr.. Ruth, propri-
etor Of the hotel. Mr.. Ruth referred
Mr.. Mullen to the writer, thinking, no
doubt, that newspaper men knew ev-
erything, which is more or less gen
orally accepted fallacy.
Mr.. Mullen introduced himself, pre-
sented his card, and told what he was
here for. The purpose of his visitwas
to try and locate sand gravel deposits
somewhere within st. Francoiscounty,
OF sufficient amount to justify trans
porting to market. Through Mr.. Null
len the information was obtained that
the conditions are such in St. Louis
as to make it, almost impossible to
secure sand and gravel in large guam
tity, such as the large builders re-
quire. Nor is there any satisfactory
substitute for such material.
Therefore the Buileds' Association

An Abundant
Crop Year

Truly is one fortunate to be priv
ileged to live in this great Southeast
Land, where general conditions per-
haps excel those of any other county
on earth. While there are some in this
community, perhaps. who do not ap-
preclate the most excellent living
conditions that surround them 50
abundantly, it is largely due to the
easy living conditions, and surround
ing abundance, that have caused such
satisfaction. They generally know
little, or nothing, of existing condi-
tions elsewhere. But let such dissat-
lsfled persons leave, and the chances
are a hundred to one that they will
shortly return, just as soon as they
realize that the distant field is not
nearly so green as it looked from
afar.
This years crops afford a fair il
lustration of the general conditions in
this country. Never, perhaps, was
there more varied or more abundant
yield of practically everything that
grows in the temperate zone. The
wheat yield is fine, and the quality
of the grain could hardly be finer.
The oat crop is Splendid, while corn
prospects were never finer. There is
also bumper crop of all kinds Of hay.
while pasturage was never finer than
now. But particularly is the fruit
crop surprising. Never have fruit
trees produced more splendid and
abundant harvest of apples, peaches,
pears, plums, etc, while finer and
more perfect grapes were never gath
cred anywhere. Even the nut crop,
which grows wild, with no attempt at
cultivation, has this year reached the
Of production. But little
effort should insure everyone with
plenty of provisions for next winter. |
Such truly wonderful production as
is now on every hand, should bring
home to all residents of this country |
a more thorough appreciation of life |
in this Southeast Land.

Another New
Business Here

The Industrial Transportation Co.,
an organization incorporated under
the Laws of District Of Columbia, un-
der and by virtue Of an act of Con-
gross, will soon have one of its pub
licly owned high grade grocery
stores in operation here.
This institution has it's own pack
ing plant, etc, and operates on ten
per cent cost, plus basis, and is a
dominant factor in reducing the soar
ing high cost of living every place
they have a store.
F. |. Fahey and J. B. Ross, the COM
pany's special representatives, invite
a thorough examination into the af-
fairs of the company, into its plans,
the feasibility and absolute necessity
of this concern, and states that any
fair. minded man, who is interested in
the good of the community, after in
vestigating the plans and the COM
pany, will give it his or her moral
and financial support-and also that
those interested pay no attention to
irresponsible persons, prompted to
knock because of selfish motives.
