COLUMBUS ROAD
BEING IMPROVED
Grading Started From Washington
TO Creek
ROAD BEING BADLY WASHED
Work of Putting Road in First-Class
Condition TO Be Completed
Before Winter.

Work on the highway between
Washington and Columbus was be-
gun this week, a tractor and grader
having been put on the road and
this will be used as far as the creek
about three miles out on the road,
it was said yesterday.
The road to Columbus, which was
graded up and graveled some time
ago began TO show signs of hard
wear, and complaint has been regis
tered TO the highway department on
the condition of the road. 1t is
understood the money has been in
the bank for some time for the re-
pairing and upkeep of this section
of road but the commissioners had
been busy in other sections and had
not had time to get around to it.
Several stretches of the highway
on the hills have been badly washed
by the recent rains and II is the aim
of the highway people ii is said, to
put this road in excellent condition
before the fall rains set in. Whether
the road will receive another coat
of gravel has not been learned, but
il is thought gravel will be placed
where washouts have occurred.
This is one of the most used roads
entering Washington and il will bt
with satisfaction people living in the
Columbus section learn that ii is to
be placed in first-class condition be.
fore bad weather sets in.

OF Good Publicity

ELLENVILLE, n. ", Aug a.
This woodsy Ulster county village is
going TO wage war on the scantiness
of attire of some sojourners here.
They really don't wear enough
clothes, the girls who come here for
the summer" said Chief of Police
Ross today. I'VE don't object TO
short dresses and low-necked gowns
or even bathing suits if the wearer
appears to have at least vague in
terest in swimming.
Somehow, a fad got started here,
and now half of the girls are run
ming around the streets dressed in
only swimming trunks and blouses.
Others wear some little jumpers
that look like mems track pants,
sweaters and sandals.
$50 Mayor Wells is going to call a
meeting of the trustees next week
and pass an ordinance to compel the
girls TO wear more clothes"
Chief Ross said he would not
make any arrests until the Ordin-
ance had been passed.

I3 MILLION BALES
is LATEST FIGURE
Ten Dollar Rise Seen Monday, and
Another Rise Tuesday
EXPECT OVER 2o-CENT COTTON
Fear of More Floods, and Estimate
of Only 13,492,OOO Bales Is
Cause Of Rise.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The price of
cotton rose nearly 81 a bale in wild
trading on the New York Cotton ex-
change Tuesday, buoyed on flood
of orders resulting from the govern
ment prediction Of crop only 60
per cent OF normal, or 1892 600
bales, fear Of floods in Arkansas and
Oklahoma and news of unfavorable
weather throughout the cotton belt.
At the close Of the market Nom
day night il was estimated that or
ders for 100000 bales Of around the
days high prices had remained un-
filled. Under the rules of the eX-
change, a single days fluctuation in
price is limited TO 200 points, or $40
a bale. Yesterday was the first time
since April %, 1924, that the maxi
mum was reached.
At the price OF 20 cents pound,
the 1927 crop Is estimated by the
government department of agricui-
ture would be worth about 81, ,349,-
100000, or more than S10O,0O0,O0O
more than last years record crop.
This would give the cotton growers
better price for the predicted short
crop this year than they received
for the bumper crop Of 1926, al
though il is realized that many
growers, especially those whose
fields are in the inundated districts,
would suffer.

Considerable Rise in Stocks Of

BOSTON. Aug. l1.-Less than an
hour before they were to go to the
death chamber, Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti at 1924 o'clock
last night received announcement
from Warden William Hendry that
Governor Fuller had respited their
sentence until midnight of Monday,
August %.
Governor Fuller, with the ap-
proval of the executive council,
stayed the execution of the two men
and of Celestino Madeiros, sentenced
on a separate murder charge to die
at the same hour, to allow a ruling
on a writ of error by State Supreme
Court Judge Sanderson, which, if
approved, will take the case to the
full bench Of the supreme court.
! At five minutes past 12( when the
| first of the condemned men was to
! have walked to the electric chair,
Governor Fuller announced that he
had recommended to the executive
council that a respite of II days be
granted. The recommendation was
adopted unanimously.
Governor Fuller made this public
statement:
THE courts of the commonwealth
are actively engaged in the work o
considering and deciding the yari
Gus motions and petitions filed b,
the counsel in these cases. Tn
courts themselves have no power Il
grant respite.
TO afford the courts an oppor
tunity TO complete the consideration
of the proceedings now pending ant
render their decision thereon,
have recommended to the eXecutiv,
council that the sentences of Sacco
Vanzetti and Madeiros be respitet
for II days, or until midnight OF
Monday, August %, 1927"
Although defense lawyers failet
to obtain the writ of habeas corpus
they are not debarred from reach
ing the United States supreme cour
in appealing from a decision of the
supreme court of Massachusetts. A.
soon as the supreme judicial court
convenes and makes known its de-
cision an effort will again be made
to take the case before that body.
The formal document delaying the
! execution was rushed from the
state house TO the state prison in the
hands of Capt. Charles c. Baupre OF
the state police, who delivered il tc
Warden William Hendry at II 80 p
IN. The warden, heavy, slow-mov.
ing man, with dark mustache, took
it with a twinkle in his eye and pro.
ceeded at once down the long ce.
ment corridors that led from his Of.
flee to the death house.
IFS all off, boys" he said.
The news that this was not after

Some live to eat, others eat to
live. We hear a great deal about
eating for health. There are many
brands of so-called health foods
upon the market. Success in life
as well as health is largely ques-
ton of food, but with the best of
care in selecting ones diet, success
does not always come.
There is a food, however, that
makes certain success of the high
est kind. In his sermon at the

what that food is and will show
how it has never failed.

HUDSON-ESSEX
ACTIVITIES
Turner and Adams Report
Splendid Business on
These Cars
SETTING NEW HIGH MARK

Turner and Adams, Pleasantville
representatives of the Hudson and
Essex cars, are pleased to call at
tention to the fact that the Hudson
Essex concern has completed the
greatest February in its history,
and with March is stepping into
the greatest six cylinder production
the automobile industry has ever
known Since January 1, produc-
ton of both Hudson and Essex cars
has been largely increased. and on
March 1, the NTH increase of the
year brought the daily total close
to the 1900 mark a day, it is de-
clared.
February shipments were $4,000
cars, while March is scheduled for
the production and sale of $4,000
Hudson and Essex automobiles.
Even with this great volume, COM
pany officials declare that deliv-
cries are far behind demand. The
new Super-six models on both Hud-
son and Essex, brought out the first
of the year, have far exceeded in
popularity anything the company
has known in its whole history.
In going close to the 10000 mark
for March, Hudson-Essex is reach
ing into a volume field which
hitherto has been entered only by
four cylinder cars. 1t Is around rs
per cent larger than any previous
Hudson-Esse schedule.
While the factory Is thus en-
gagged in record-breaking, Turner
and Adams have been setting new
high marks of business. Never be-
fore, it is claimed, has there been
so urgent and insistent demand for
Hudson and Essex. On both the
large and the small car, business
has been consistent and growing.
In fact" says Mr.. Turner. "the
public has shown its desire for
these cars so strongly that we have
been embarrassed because of the
fact that We have not been able to
deliver the cars as fast as buyers
have asked for them. We have been
unceasfng in urging the Hudson
plant for more cars, but naturally
we have had to take our just allot-
ment, along with the other dealers
and distributors, and thus have
been handicapped by the Hudson
Essex shortage. We are very re-
gretful of this situation, and are
bending every effort to deliver to
our customers in accordance with
their wishes. But it surely looks
as If Hudson-Essex would be mex
ira demand for the whole spring
season"
