GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR EXCELLENT
ORCHARD CROP
Leslie Smith, Prominent Fruit
Grower, Credited With Arous-
| ing Interest i'm Care.
Especial Correspondence.l

Geneseo, ILL.,, May 17.-Many
of the residents of Geneseo
and vicinity have feared the full
fillment of light frosts as predicted
for May IA and Is. Although it be-
came quite cool during these nights
the thermometer registered at the
lowest recorded temperature
considerably above frost conditions.
With present conditions followed
with favorable weather the pros
poets for very large fruit and
berry crop in this vicinity are very
promising. Within the past two
years a great deal of interest has
been devoted to the orchards of this
section. This is due primarily to the
efforts of Leslie Smith who has
since his graduation from the Uni
versity of Illinois devoted himself
to reawakening the people Of this
section to the fact that fruit can be
successfully and profitably grown
here Last year he harvested ap-
proximately $500 bushels of apples
grown in orchards which had prev
iously been practically ron-bearing,
due to neglect He has the reputa-
ton of bein, q ne of the fewssuccess-
full commercial orchardistS in north
ern Illinois, his first shipments last
year attracting considerable atten-
ton among commission men on the
fruit markets.
This year Mr.. Smith has under
lease approximately three thousand
trees which are receiving his care
and attention. He has eight
orchards near Geneseo; and some
near Milan and Moline. At Atkinson
he has under lease at least 1000
trees on the Arthur Burial farm
OF these 400 are peach trees.
The educational work which Mr..
Smith has been doing has impressed
the value of spraying and proper
care of orchards very firmly upon
the people of Geneseo with the re-
suit that a larger and better fruit
crop is anticipated this year than
has been harvested ~ many years
past

HARRY CENUNC
QUITS AS HEAD
OF new SCHOOL
Principal COrdova Institution, Re-
fused ReappOintment, Resigns
at Once.
ESPECIAL Correspondence


Cordova, ILL.,, May 17.-Cordova's
new $4,000 school is without a
principal today and will be for the
remainder of the week as a result
of the hasty resignation of Princi-
pal Harry S. Genung yesterday. Re
fusal of the members of the school
board at their meeting Monday
night to reappoint him for the next
year is regarded as the cause OF
Mr.. Genung's action.
Mr.. Genung's resignation, which
he timed to take effect at once,
came not only as surprise to the
pupils and instructors, but to the
members of the school board as
well, despite the fact that they had
voted against reappointing him the
night before. The present school
term does not end until two weeks
from next Monday, and the board
members were at a loss to under
stand how their action in refusing
reappointment for the succeeding
year could justify the attitude of
Principal Genung, in refusing to
continue in the position as head of
the school, for the remainder of the
present term. However, the res:g-
nation was accepted and it is un-
derstood that the services of Prin
cipal Briar of Port Byron, will be
secured for the remainder Of the
term, starting next Monday.
This was Mr. Genung's second
year as principal of the Cordova
school. The first year and half
was spent in the little frame build
ing, the new brick structure hav-
ing only been occupied part OF this

ALEDO MILITIA
CALLED FORTH
BY CRAW DADS
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, May 1.-THE high eff
cheney of the newly installed burg
lar alarms in the city banks was
demonstrated fully yesterday aft
ernoon when according to Gee Lee
Candor, cashier of the Farmers
National bank, two pet craw fish
were responsible for the sounding
of the alarms in the business dis
trict and resulted in armed citi-
zens rushing to get the first shot
at the thieves.
Now, go one with the story: The
day was yesterday and the hour
nidafternoon. Two pet craw fish,
properly of the cashier, lay hask-
ing in the sun in a tiny tray of
water in the banking rooms OF the
Farmers National. Outside OF the
bank the rain was falling in tor
rents and the two pets were indig-
nant to think that they must be
confined within the building when
the pavement afforded such a fine
amusement park.
1t is the mating season of the
craw fish and the two lovers de-
cided the finance building was
without the conveniences they de-
sired, but how were they to get
free. After racking their tiny
brains for several hours, they
could arrive at no definite plan of
action. 1t was then the change in
disposition occurred. They grew
sullen and illtempered. Their
eyes took on a CLASSY stare and
their pinchers were ready.
Realizing after a time that this
method awaited them nothing they
crept from their miniature lake
and started on an inspection tour to
check up their situation in gen
eral. While on this trip they dis
covered the magic button and be-
gan to chase each other around it.
When found they had grown tired
of the sport and were taking a nap,
using the magic knob for a pillow
Considerable difficulty was had
by the officials of the bank in ex-
planning the situation to the arm
ed guards that arrived immediate
ly after the alarm sounded Gee
Lee will undoubtedly use his two
! pets as fish food on hook and lines
in the near future, so that they will
not disturb the community again.
