ONE WAY in which city or town
is judged, is by the question whether
it's business buildings and homes are
attractive or not. Many towns could
be mentioned where the houses and
business blocks are costly, but
where they are not attractive. Those
people had more money than taste.
The people of town can do lot
to promote community progress, if
when they put up a business block,
or build or repair a dwelling, they
do so in accordance with ideas of
good taste. 1t does not cost any
more to put up good looking build
ings, and their value is greater.
People like to live and do business
in them, and will pay more for that
privilege here in Milford or any
where else.

people to operate it properly and
fully.
The purpose for which the peanuts
are being grown is to conserve the
hydrogen produced in the hydro-elec-
trio plants OF the paper company. 1t
is used in making cooking COM
pound that is a substitute for lard
and this company product is known
to the trade as Kream Krisp. 1t is
merely hydrated oil of the peanut
which results in a compound similar
to different ones now on the market
produced from some other fatty mate
rial.
The peanut farm will, when it is
going at average production for the
peanut crop, produce about 100 bushels
of % pounds each to the acre. The
entire tract under cultivation would
then produce 100000 bushels of pea
nuts Each bushel of peanuts will
yield 10 pounds of marketable oil SO
the oil crop from the farm would, if
all was cultivated, amount to 7000000O
pounds of oil. The total crop would
approximate 196,0O0,000 pounds, the
portion of the nut not reducing to oil
and the shell representing the addi-
tional weight
In the process of growing peanuts
this company will not turn any of the
crop to wasteful uses. The hulls and
| other\ portions will be used to manu-
facture stock food in the line OF a
roughage, making it palatable to the
stock by the mixture with cotton seed
cake or other material adding fatty
element to it.

HOW MUCH ICE
CREAM DO YOU
EAT In YEAR?
u. IS. Consumes $65O,OOO,OOO
Worth, Wholesale 20
Cents Per Capita

How much ice cream do you eat a
year?
People living in the latitude in
which Douglas is situated probably eat
slightly more than their average share
in the ice cream consumed in the
United States, but if they only got
their individual average they would be
eating slightly more than 81 worth
each year. That estimate is made on
figures recently issued by the United
States chamber of commerce. That
would make daily average consump-
ton per capita of 20 cents in value
that is being paid ice cream in the
United States.
Three quarters of century ago,
Jacob russell, Baltimore milk dealer,
started in fun an industry which has
become a giant of American commerce
the present $65O,0O0,000 wholesale ice
cream business
Fussell's milk enterprise suffered re-
verses in the form of limited outlet
in 1851 and, to solve the problem OF
surplus storage, he hit upon the idea
of freezing it. Immediately multi
tude of possibilities arose, including
the development of popular delicacy
when sugar and flavoring were added
to the milk.
How well the theory succeeded is
revealed in a tattered government re-
port of that day, which sets forth that
"ice cream is eaten in fun and not as
a food" The luxury retailed at 90
cents a. quart
BY 1856 the demand for ice cream
had so increased that a factory was
put into operation in Washington The
machinery was simple. A sing e
freezer attached to a drive wheel
which provided power for rotation
was the entire equipment. When a
factory was erected in 1862 in Boston
orders for ice cream had come to
American manufacturers from India,
England and Brazil. Western cities
awoke to the possibilities, and fac
tory was opened in st. Louis after an
initial outlay of $500 for rights to the

Helped Pioneer Work at Bisbee
Chief Nemeck, as stated, came
within an eyelash of being gem
Iuine pioneer in Douglas in both
senses, because he came close to ar
irving here with the earliest OF
them. He was living at Bisbee for
a short time about the date that
Douglas was started, but situa-
tion arose that took him back to
his former home at Joliet, Ills. But
it was acquaintances he had made
while at Bisbee that resulted in his
coming. to Douglas later as chief.
William ]. Nemeck was born at
Cleveland, Ohio, on July IA, 1872.
His father, James Nemeck, was a
tailor and while a youth, although
he had normal respect and admira-
tion for his fathers occupation, he
didn't take to the use of a needle,
possibly because he didn't like a
thimbIe on his finger. 1t may have
been that the school books of those
days, decorated as many of them
were, with notices like the old-time
expressions, Excelsior, Upward
and Onward Higher, Yet High
err" had started leaven to work
in the mind of young Nemeck be-
cause he apparently determined to
start to climb early. He went to
work as an employe at the age of
IA, and his first work was painting,
which duty implied such work as
climbing ia ladder to improve the
appearance of the sides of houses.
At this work he continued for two
years.

WILL ARIZONA
CONSERVE Her
BUFFALO HERD?
That Problem With What
Effort 1t Will Require
Presented by Warden

Arizona has buffalo problem That
is what one concludes after reading
statement recently sent out by State
Game Warden D. E. Pettis in which
he discusses the situation which he
says exists as result OF buffalo
which the state now stands sponsor
for. Buffalo, taking the country as
a whole and by comparison with for
ner periods when the frontiersmen
were breaking into the great west, are
now almost as scarce as the pro-
verbal hens teeth. 1t was with the
view of conserving some of the nat
urally picturesque in the game life OF
the state that the effort of propagat-
ing a buffalo herd was undertaken.
But let the state game warden tell
the problem as he sees it. Here IS
what he says:
I'm the soil of most of our western
and mid-western states may be found
the remains of some of the buffalo
that once roamed over their prairies
in countless herds. So far as have
been able to learn, no such relics have
come from the soil of Arizona, but
when Buffalo Jones saw the House
| rock valley in northern Arizona it
looked SO good as a buffalo range that
he just had to bring in a bunch on
| trial
when Jones left taking most of his
buffalo with him, Uncle Jim Owens
one time partner Of Jones, gathered
up the remnant which had been left
and from this remnant built up the
herd that now is one of the sights OF
the Houserock country.
I'm 1923 when the Arizona state
game department made an inspection
trip to the Kaibab forest and House
rock valley, Uncle Jim's buffalo hero
came in for a lot of interest and il
was at that time that efforts begar
to be made TO make these buffalo ths
property of the state

sible for the proverb, If you want il
done, go! If you don't care, send.

Seventy thousand acres of peanuts!
That would grow enough peanuts to
make the "hokey pokey peanut VEN
der humpbacked carrying them to the
crowd if he could sell them as fast
as he could shovel them out. But
that is what will be the crop of one
peanut farmer within the course OF a
few years unless the situation changes
from that now presented The land
has been acquired for that purpose
and the work of putting it under cul-
tivation has begun. 1t will be con-
tinued until the task has been accom-
plished, it is now planned by the
owner.
The owner of this gigantic peanut
farm is the Brown Paper company OF
Portland, Maine One of the execu-
tive officers of the company is now in
Arizona. He is L. G. Gurnett, who is
visiting with his family at the Sierra
Linda ranch in Cave Creek canyon.
He explained that the company had
turned to the growing of peanuts be-
cause it had been compelled through
the workings of the patent law to
secure a needed material without in
fringing patents, from sources, other
than that now open, with satisfactory
economy to it, and after careful re-
search it had found that the peanut
farm offered the most desirable solu-
tion
Having arrived at that decision, it
purchased 10000 acres of land suited
4 l.
and already has established the pio-
neer colony on the land and the work
is under way. When the tract has
been finally put under cultivation, il

products in its operation and with no
avenues then open to it, except by
paying a royalty to another company
to manufacture certain by-product
that was already covered by a patent.
It's business ethics caused it to re-
frain from infringement and at the
same time it did not desire to enter
a field as a competitor when part OF
the. profit from it's product had to go
into the treasury OF another concern
for an operating privilege ii it could
avoid that. So its research depart
ment sought the answer. The answer
was found in the humble peanut. But
peanuts are not the result of waving
a wand. They require a certain grow
ing process under certain conditions
of temperature and so that offered
another problem.
Turning to Florida, the company
found the soil and climatic conditions
there favored the growth OF peanuts
to an exceptional degree and so 1t
invested a large amount of money IN
acreage, buying, as stated above,
10000 acres. The land was what is
termed raw land" 1t had never been
plowed. That meant that there were
problems of clearing, leveling, culti-
waiting and finally planting. But trac-
tors were secured and help assembled
and now the process of bringing the
land under the plow is going ahead.

planted, that 10000 acres will he
