The truth of the matter was that

Weather-beaten hurdy gurdv men

100 Per Cent Greater

PROVO, Sept 25.--About 80 per
cent Of the entire peach crop OF
Utah county has been shipped to
the various markets Of the country
according to reports from shippers OF
this locality. who state that approx
imately 20 per cent Of the crop was
lost because of the shortage of re.

this shortag, It is reported that
from so to 100 per cent more fruit
was shipped than last year. II Ia
estimated that 400 cars went out Of
the county, containing more than
100000 bushels, for which growers
received from 65 to 76 cents per bus
hel and that the total amount of
money paid for peaches this year
win amount to $4,000. without
counting fruit that was sold in the
local markets.
