Big Profit Made By
 Mayor of Wenatchee

WENATCHEE, Wn., Dec. 3 (P)- Mayor c. B. Halbert announced that he and his son had taken off a S14,325 apple crop from their ten acre tract, while in 1919 the crop sold for S16,000. The crop ran 1000 boxes to the acre this year.
 The Halbert orchard is planted to Delicious, Winesaps, Rome Beauties, Staymons, and Arkansas Blacks. AL though the crop of the district this year is somewhat below normal, in a number of cases where especially fine yelds were made, the price was high.
 From a 1-2 acre tract, H. c. Lyons picked 5,234 packed boxes of apples. Last year the orchard was frozen out, but in 1923 46OO boxes were packed, thus averaging 1000 boxes to the acre for two years.
 Mrs R. c. Barnum packed 2600 boxes from her six acre tract in East Wenatchee despite a heavy worm loss.

TENNESSEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 PROFIT FROM OLD LANDSALES

NASHVILLE, Dec. 3. (P)-Ten- nessee public schools will benefit from the sale of unclaimed and va cant" lands when a defect is cured in an act passed by the state legis- lature in 1903 making it mandatory on the state to sell unclaimed lands.
 Under the provisions of this old law the untitled properties which are considered state possessions must be sold for cash and the proceeds re- vert to the state treasury for the benefit of the schools. But the law failed to designate any certain officer to conduct the sale
 There are many thousands of acres of such lands in the state, some tracts wealthy in mineral deposits and some containing valuable stands of timber and others rich agricul- turally.

ANOTHER COOLIDGE STORY FROM WASH

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. Here is an interesting story" on President Coolidge-purely fictitious of course-which is being told around Washington now:
 "One day MT. Coolidge was out riding with Harvey Firestone, the tire manufacturer, Thomas Edison, the inventor and Henry Ford the car manufacturer. They were crossing in a Lincoln automobile when a tire blew out and they were forced to stop at one of the small repair shops along the country roads.
 "F'irestone got out and asked the repair man if he had Firestone tires and the man started to put one on the machine. While the repair man was working Firestone found he had no bills with him and the man agreed to take a check.
 "As Firestone stepped inside the shop to write a check, Ford got out |
 of the car to watch the man at work. Do you know that the man who makes those tirse is inside there now writing you check?" Ford aasked
 The workman looked up and eyed Ford suspiciously without comment
 Do you know that the kindly faced man you see sitting there is Thomas Edison, the worlds greatest inventor?" Ford continued.
 The man snickered and said noth- ing.
 And do you know" Ford wen on, that I am the man who makes these cars, Henry Ford?"
 The man burst out laughing ant said: And I suppose that other guy is President Coolidge!"
 "Yes" said Ford.
 Well, I cash no checks for thi. gang" the workman said, give m cash or off comes the tire"
