STATE BANK INSTALIS
BURGLAR ALARMS

The Monet State Bank has installed
day and night burglar alarms, which
they have purchased from the Bankers
Electrical Company, of Minneapolis.
They have the same kind Of night
gong as the National bank, which via
be set to ringing by any kind or
tampering with the door or floor OF
the vault. A thermostat on the in
side of the vault door connects with
the alarm, so that heat applied will
set the gong to ringing when it reach
es 100 degrees. During the day time
night alarm is silent.
Another system is used for a day
alarm. Should a robber enter the
bank during the day, it is a very easy
matter for the alarm to be sent out, tc
different stations where connection is
made. Such an alarm is not heard
inside the bank, and the robber can
not know that an alarm has been sent
out until help arrives from the police,
The new system gives as near
absolute protection as can be had and
the safety deposit boxes in the vault
are thoroughly protected.
The bank also carries burglar in
surance.

Improvements of the street have

to narrow the street on account of
light poles, and the movement was not
satisfactory with the property holders.
At the meeting last night all OBJ

was made to both the

holders ON the east side of

MONDAY NIGHT
FREEZE DAMAGING
Freezing Weather Kills Early Fruit.
Aroma Strawberries, Grapes and
Late Apples not Seriously Injured

Monday night the mercury dropped
to about % degrees, making the
second night of freezing weather. On
Sunday night the injury to early fruit
was not SO great, owing to the fact
that there was layer of ice over the
buds and on the ground. On Monday
the ice thawed, leaving the buds ex-
posed and the freeze that night finish
ed the early fruit.
Peaches and plums are conceded TO
be destroyed. Early cherries are said
to be damaged at least so per cent.
Apples are injured seriously but
probably will make a 40 to SO per cent
crop.
Early varieties of strawberries
which were in bloom, are killed, but
the great bulk of the strawberry crop,
the Aromas, were not blooming to any
extent and were not seriously injured.
Grape vineyards are expected to
come back in good condition but
with reduced crop, although some of
the Neosho growers believe that they
had advanced to so great an extent
that they may not put out new shoots.
Wheat that was jointed is injured
and oats were checked in their growth
but not seriously damaged.
The effect of the freeze probably
will be greater than thar of one year
ago, owing to the fact that every
thing was farther advanced because of
the mild winter and early spring.
