CAM WHAT YOU CAN
NOW: PLENTY FRUIT

For the first time in years, house,
wives will this season have the COM
bination OF an abundance of fruits
and of sugar at reasonable price.
According to the official estimates of
the United States department of agri-
culture and the state department Of
farms and markets, the apple crop of
the state, while considerably below
the big yield of 1920. will be as large
as the 1921 and 1919 crops combined.
The quantity of pears produced will
probably be 20 per cent greater than
the quantity harvested last year, and
the peach crop is expected to be the
biggest since 1917. In the principal
peach section in the east the trees
are overloaded and growers have been
thinning the fruit.
Plums, ounces sweet and sour cher
ries. raspberries and blackberries.
while not quit as promising as they
were at this season in 1920, will prob
ably produce better than in any other
recent year. Grapes also are very
promising and in many parts OF the
country the yields of 1919 and 1920
may be equalled.
In commenting on these figures
Berne A. Pyrke, commissioner of New
! York pointed out that with prospects
for good yields of practically all kinds
, of fruits, not only in that state but in
all parts of the country, it is probable
| that prices will be more reasonable
than they have been for several years.
/ and it would be well for housewives to
can and preserve rather more fruit
than they will need for this season,
/ for it may be several years before
there will again be such an abun
dance

SClOUS.

Madison, Wis. Aug. 1l.-Findlng of
the dead bodies of julius and Mary
Balzer and their brother. William.
dubbed into unconsciousness at their
farm at Castle Prairie, eight miles
west Of Sank City, has started officials
Of Sank county and citizens on man
hunt for the slayers, who escaped
without leaving trace of their
identity.
Robbery is believd to be the motive
for the crime by Sheriff II G. Neit2e
and Judge Adolph Andre of Barabou,
who have taken charge of the search.
Lying in clump of weeds several
feet from the highway the body of
the woman, who was so years old, was
found Wednesday night by John

that Of the Balzers.
The body of julius and the uncop.
scious form of William were found in
the garage. All three had been strucS
on the head but the weapons used
could not be found William is now
near death in the Sank City hospita,
suffering from a fractured skull.
The murder is believed to have
taken place early Tuesday morning
and the body of the woman to have
lain rext to the highway while hur.
dreds of motorists passed without no,
ticing it.
The brothers and sister lived alone
on the farm and we're reputed to have
been wealthy
That the slayerS, after killing tho
brother and sister and leaving William
for dead, searched the house for
money, is the belief of officials. Mat
tresses and pillows on the beds in the
house were found ripped open, but
other parts of the house were nm
touched. 1t is not known whether the
money was found
Although the Balzers were said to
have a fortune, they were said to
have harbored a dislike for banks and
were rumored to have secreted their
treasures about their home.
