Seek CLEANUP
OF HOST FRUIT
Chamber of Commerce
To Take Matter Up
With Citizens

A direct appeal for the destruction
Of all secondary host fruit trees, in
GLIDING principally peach and guava.
will De made By the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce 70 all resi-
dents OF the city and contiguous
territory upon whose such
trees have been located b. the gov
eminent inspectors.
Complete lists Of secondary host
trees and their location have been
supplied the chamber Of commerce by
the federal inspectors. At a meeting
Of the board of directors Tuesday
night n committee consisting OF
Harry Banker and G.. {. Richardson
was appointed TO communicate with
each individual on the list and urge
destruction Of such trees.
The board of directors also pasged
q resolution requesting. the city COM
mission to arrange TO spray all sour
orange trees In the city, charging
each property owner the actual cost
or such spraying. This action was
taken following a discussion in which
~ was pointed out that the sour
orange trees. unless properly cared
for, are d menace 10 the citrus indus
try.
In presenting this matter to the d.
rectors, Z. A. Rosenthal, president OF
the chamber of commerce, stated he
had been informed there are approxi-
mately 500 secondary host fruit trees
in Brownsville and contiguous terri
tory, or more than 80 per CEN Of the
Valleys total. He reported thta a
committee OF growers had requested
that prompt action be taken in order
that an extension Of the shipping
season from March / to April / may
ne secured from the u. s. department
n agriculture. In the discussion that
followed il was pointed out that un-
less the Valley complied with the
regulations OF the department grow
ens would be compelled to dunn their
fnit on the market during the re-
Waning six weeks Of the shipping
season, and that the citrus industry
would sustain heavy losses.
Letters to all property owners who
have secondary host fruit trees on
their premises will be sent out By the
chamber of commerce Wednesday
and Thursday. urging that such trees
be destroyed before January IS, the
date upon which application for ex-
tension Of the shipping period will
be forwarded 10 the department Of
agriculture.
Harry Banker, head 81 the commit
tee in charge of the Brownsville
cleanup last year. and who is aiding
In the work now, urged that the at
t~ention Of property owners be called
10 the menace contained in the
worthless sour orange trees. He stat
ed that such trees could be hudded
and transformed into valuable adj
juncts TO any city home. but in their
present condition they are not. from
. commercial viewpoint. worth the
cost Of spraying. Practically all the
sour orange trees receive little or no
ARE and consequently they are load
Cd with every variety Of scale or 9th
or nest or disease 70 which the citrus
family is heir. IL was stated.

arc prescribing Nulol. IL is not a
laxative or ezthzrtic but a pure,
natural substance that helps your

Many doctors arc now prescribing
Nujol, as in no case does il cause ex-
haustion or weakening OF the sys-
TEN in any way. Take it every night;
it will keep you in first class condi-
tiou. You will have a far better
chance TO resist colds or 'au" or
anydiseases that are going herounds.
As q second safety measure, use
Misrol. as il protects the nose and
throat against the germs Of infu-
enza. Use it every morning. the first
thing. before you 60 u Again.
when you come home at night.
Don't be afraid 20 use il freely; it
will do no harm.

Monopoly Attempt.

BIZ Scripps-Borard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. May 18.-The
New England Power Association
hopes eventually to bring all hydro
electric power generation and distri-
button in New England under its
management and control.
Frank D. Comerford, president,
made this admission to the federal
trade commission in the course of
testimony about the already extern
Sive scope Of his organization.
Comerford, besides being president
of this association, is vice-president,
treasurer and a director of interna-
tionaI paper and power, director

five subsidiaries of these companies.
Comerford, questioned by Judge

company a complete monopoly But,
he explained it already has

OPEN PROBE IN
100000 FIRE
AT OHIO PRISON
Blaze Sweeps Three Story
Wooden Mill at Columbus
Penitentiary.

BIZ JHitcd Press
COLUMBUS. O.. May ia
board of inquiry will be convened
some time today to investigate the
fire which swept the three-Story
wooden mill inside the walls OF the
state penitentiary Friday night.
Cause of the blaze, the second
which has RACED prison buildings
within ten days, is still unexplained.
and Warden p. E. Thomas said the
board would follow out the theory
of incendiarism.
Most of the 1000 prisoners behind
the gray walls were in their cells.
The fun force of penitentiary
guards was summoned, and while
city flremen valiantly fought the
blaze the guards, augmented by po-
lice, maintained order.
The blaze broke out while ninety
other convicts we're participating in
or witnessing a ball game. These
we're herded together and no disor-
ders occurred.
Two TRUSTEES. who act as night
Watchmen, were IN Une MN Wneb
the fire started. They ran from the
building and shouted to guards, who
turned in an alarm.
More than 300 convicts quit work
in the mill two hours before the fire
started
Warden Thomas said spontaneous
combustion may have caused the
blaze.
He pointed out that sIlphuric
acid and other infammables were
stored in the structure.
Damage was estimated at
100000.
The fire follows a blaze which de-
stroyed the prison brick plant at
Junction City earlier this week.
Cause Of the latter fire, which did
$4,000 damage, has not been ex-
planned
